happy to see Nanai getting a run, this kid has some potential. Was kinda expecting Millard to come back, but i don't mind either way. I can't wait for this one - shame really that Benji isn't available...the SBW v Benji battle coulda been a selling point. There should be a big crowd with the forecast IMO.

Weidler reported that Sonny Bill still remains in doubt even for this week, he was training today with the team, but apparently to him he didn't look convincing, hopefully he should be okay though for Sunday.

He wasn't wrong last week unfortunately but hopefully for our sake, he is wrong this week.

 

[Timmah]

Weidler's a f*cknut.

Next he'll tell us breaking news than O'Meley's signing with the Roosters for 2008... :sarcasm:

 

[Magpie Nick]

Who's marking Tuiaki, assuming he does make it back?

El Masri. :lol:

Could be embarrassing.

If Tonga decides to turn up Halatau could be embarrassed greatly, too.

 

[Timmah]

Problem is El Masri will have Winitana next to him, who is 6ft and CAN jump

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Very true. At his peak, Tonga is as good as any centre in the game. Halatau was greatly improved last week compared to the Dragons game, but then he wasn't marking Matt Cooper last week.

 

[brooksy19]

Bulldogs are rubbish, we will hammer them.

 

[Timmah]

I love hearing that

Halatau did a good job last week he basically won us the game with those big hits on Bowen which twice made him lose the ball

i just dont understand the hate tigers fans have for Halatau its like hes the only one that was doing nothing last year :crazy:

 

[simostorm]

Fatty on the footy show said Farrah was in doubt...he has the flu..

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

^
i think he will play though, he had 3 days to recover until then. I heard he completed his first training session yesterday so he should be fine to play.

 

[steven_tiger]

Farah and Hodgson both cleared to play.

Tigers will line up as 1-17.

I got a feeling we are gunna get rolled today though...

 

[Timmah]

As st said.... weststigers.com.au are reporting the WTs as per program.

We won't have any late changes unless Folkes has a brain spasm.... this should be a good warm up for Friday :sarcasm:

i had the same feeling to be honest with you that we were going to get rolled at the beginning of the week, i am feeling a bit more calm today about heading into this game then i was at the start of the week.

Dogs need the confidence heading into the roosters game, so hopefully for my benefit the dogs can get up today.

tigers 26 - 12 imo

 

[Timmah]

'Dogs site has indicated we will also line up as per program.

 

[eels_fan_01]

Cmon Tigers! It will be a pretty good and close game i reckon but i think Tigers could edge them out but im not really sure. Id love to see Dogs go 1-4 into next week so Mason can bag them out.

tuiaki out tagive in big blow for tigers

 

[Timmah]

Dogs win toyota 27-20. Decent crowd building here- tagive didn't play toyota for wests so it looks like tuiaki didn't make it after all. Sbw looks fit n well.

Hopefully there'll be 20k all up here- the centre is bare but there's lots of people around the edges. GO THE DOGS!

abc radio said there is less than 10 thousand atm - doesnt sound right?
