09 :: R24 Fri :: Tigers 18 Eels 26 @ SFS

If it's a close game and both teams get through injury free I don't see why both teams can't make the finals. If a team gets belted their confidence will be shot though, and of course the dreaded i word comes into it as well.

Tipping the Tigers although I can't really give many reasons. Home ground maybe but hardly a hard road trip for Parra. Hope it lives up to the hype and for my team hope they bash each other.

 

[MacDougall]

So this is what it would have felt like if Parra had have beaten the Cowboys in the 05 Grand Final qualifier. I was so happy we didn't have to play Parra in that finals series. So nervous about this one. If we win this and keep the last two games at the very worst close, we will probably make the finals on 28. Farah needs to fire up like he did against the Cowboys. Come on captain!

 

[tiger_nick]

for some reason this is the least confident i am of our last 3 games.

still it will be an event in itself, a genuine blockbuster of a game.

match ups all over the place

marshall v hayne

galloway v moi moi

tuiaki v grothe

lawrence v inu

ellis v hindmarsh (bit of a mismatch i know, but for some reason eels fans still have a hard on over this bloke)

WTF?

I concede that Ellis has been fantastic for you guys, but to even suggest that it's a mismatch is a joke. Hindmarsh has been in briliant form this season, plus he's a great player to begin with.

ellis v hindmarsh (bit of a mismatch i know, but for some reason eels fans still have a hard on over this bloke)

Hard to understand isn't it? I mean he's averaging 121 metres and a tick under 40 tackles over his last eight games..... and there are plenty of others doing some hard work around him as well.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Any chance of Daine Laurie being included in the Tigers side for this one? Laurie vs Moi Moi round 2 would be a cracker.

 

[Shorty]

It would be a shame if prank teams like the Cowboys get in ahead of them.

Prank?
You mean a team that has been in the top 8 most of the year and faces a difficult run home.
Yeah, Cowboys would never deserve to be in the finals.
I hope Parra smash the Tigers, and they most likely will.

As for being confident in a win against the Dogs or Tits, really, where do you get your arrogance?
Tigers beating the Dogs? Honestly?
Titans more likely but they're a better team in almost every aspect so you would be hoping on an upset more than anything.

Parra to win and grab the spot in the 8.

I agree, how you think Ellis is anywhere near Hindmarsh is borderline ridiculous.

 

[jpaciocco91]

This will be an epic, Tigers to win by 2.

We should've beaten the Dogs earlier this year.

Anyway, as for you, just stay in your inbred NQ section and leave this to people who have a valid opinion and want to talk about the match, rather than take shots with inaccurate statements.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Hindmarsh and Ellis are pretty close, I think Hindmarsh is the better defender and more a workhorse but Ellis adds a lot of strike and starch in both defence and attack.

Pretty even, Maybe Hindmarsh just over Ellis.

Tigers almost beat the Dogs last time and that's when they weren't playing so well.

Cowgirls suck. IF they make the 8 they are fodder for basically any team they play. Would be shame to have such a poor team waste a spot in the 8.

Have a nice day.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Their is no way Parramatta will win this, absolutely no way, Tigers will win it easily as it's impossible for the Eels to win this game.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Of the 3 games we have left, I'm more confident we can beat the Dogs than either of the other two.

And Ron, that won't work. lol
