Tigers are rolling.

 

[Timmah]

Down a hill? They won't beat Brisbane IMO.

 

[brooksy19]

I'd be tempted to play Farah, but we have the bye the following week, so resting him this week will give his back another two weeks rest, which could be vital down the stretch.

Still, I think we can beat the bronocs, they're not as big as the used to be so they can't steamroll us as easy as they have in the past. And its in Sydney for the first time in ages.

 

[Timmah]

Correct. Last match in Sydney was 2005 finals series (@ SFS)... last ACTUAL home game against them was a Cambo in 2004 :crazy:

 

[brooksy19]

Yep 04. The 14 man on the field game.

 

[Kid]

Where is the Broncos 20+ option? On our recent form we aren't fit to be on the same park as the Broncos.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

If we start against the Broncos like we have against Souffs & Sharkies, we're not going to be as fortunate to be only down 6 points after 20 minutes. A big lift in intensity required, I can see a touch up on the cards.

 

[Ghoulies]

We haven't been going as well as some people think. We've fallen asleep for extended periods in our last 4 games and the Tigers are a good enough attacking side to capitalise if we do it again.

I can easily see either side as 13+ winners here.

 

[Billigan]

broncos winners hopefully

 

[8Ball]

The broncos were quite ordinary against Souths. I think an upset could be on the cards. If the broncos click though, it'll be broncos by plenty.

i guess you could say the same for the tigers if we click the game will be a beauty esp if Farah plays

 

[DeeJ]

Lawrence plays left center doesn't he? I remember last year Tonie Carroll wrecked havoc down that side feeding off Lockyer.

 

[Knight87]

with the free ticket promotion offer for this game at the City-Country Origin match, there should be a healthy crowd headed out to ANZ Stadium

 

[8Ball]

The promotion will add an extra ..3k to the crowd at best.

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Lawrence plays left center doesn't he? I remember last year Tonie Carroll wrecked havoc down that side feeding off Lockyer.

Whatuira was the centre though i think
Lawrence has only been a full time centre this year

plus broncos got us on monday night where we have been hammered 3 times already

 

[Adman]

I think us Tiger's fans are going to have to let this game go and expect defeat, Broncos will be too good. Plus with CC Origin players backing up... odds are too much againist the Tiges.

Marshall & Farah confirmed as not playing this game

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Despite the team's indifferent form I would've been very confident if Benji & Farah were on deck for the Tiges. We're still a decent chance although not too many points with Morris likely to stifle the attack. Johnny will eventually wear his beloved no.14 jersey when everybody returns from injury.
