NRL Preview and Tips - Round 22
BY Paul Zines

Apart from a few bad calls going against them, the Dragons have no-one to blame but themselves after surrendering a 12 nil lead to the Sharks. This week they come up against the Tigers who have become a bit of a hoodoo team winning five from the last six.

Despite being named, Robbie Farah is in doubt with an ankle injury. This would be a huge blow for the away side who are looking to creep their way into the top 8. Benji Marshall was back to his best last week against the hapless Dogs. He was involved in everything, along with stand-in fullback Shannon Gallant.

The Tigers have beaten some lowly ranked teams over the past month and this will be a tough test in determining their chances of a finals appearance. The Dragons will be missing Brett Morris and Justin Poore for the clash. However I big positive is the return of Captain Mark Gasnier who has a great try scoring record against the away side.

I believe this game will come down to defense and the home-side should just have enough to hold off the Tigers.

How's that?

Stats say they're square at 7 - 7 at the moment.

Converted try to the Tigers clinches it

 

[Hutty1986]

Marshall match-winning try, 18-10. Go on your f*cking end of season trip now you gutless f*cks

Can't say I am that surprised, in saying that though, we'll probably do Brisbane by 12 next week.

i know it sucks hutty, but dude - we don't have props.

you just can't win without your props & relying on virtual novices.

 

[pantherz9103]

I changed my tip from Dragons to Tigers. It pays to carefully read the team lineups, couldn't see Dragons winning without Ryles and Poore.

They seemed to go pretty well to have the score at 12-10 until the 75th minute. As usual, the superstar pairing of Gasnier and Cooper got in amongst the tries in a crucial match :sarcasm:
