'11 | Finals Wk 1 | Fri | Tigers 21-12 Dragons | ANZ

[ellskimore]

Farah is a more talented footballer than Young. But I wouldnt trade Young for anyone. He is great for our club. A very loyal player that always puts in everything for his team. I'll never forget his try in the GF.

As for this game. I cannot wait! Both teams supporters would be nervous about their opponent. What a cracking first final to have!
Dragons by 2. And then they will meet again in the GF.

Thought I'd come in here for some intelligent debate about the game. All I cop is some argument about whether Dean Young's ever burrowed in for a try. He probably hasn't, but I can't recall him ever diving either. Young > Farah.

I'm going to go with the Dragons by 4.

:lol: Tiger Hawk and old mate looking for some sort of strange one-upmanship before game time or something, not sure the point.

Im sitting here in the shadows of ANZ stadium listening to the constant pitter patter of rain. It hasnt stopped all morning & doesnt look like stopping, it's not pouring but it's not a light drizzle either. Im expecting it to be a close game but i think the dragons will get over the top of us. Im resigned to the fact that Lawrence is out & i think Utai's defence & lack of aerial ability will let us down. I hope im wrong but I think Sheens' gamble of naming him in the team for his dummy half runs is going to back fire this weekend. Along with his poor defense the constant bombs to his edge in the wet are going to cause many heart in mouth moments tonight. That said, he has been mostly great for us this year & I thank hiim for his efforts but I would be so much more confident with Rowdy there.
Fingers crossed if we we lose we get another shot with Lawrence back in the team & a full strength squad the following week. Cant wait for tonight, fingers crossed my heart holds out especially if we are up by 2 with ten left.

Bad conditions fro WT football but our forwards can grind with the best of them.

Definatley not worth risking Lawrence with the ground as it is

 

[Saints fan]

Is the rain forecast to keep up? I think goal kicking will play a crucial part in deciding this one. I don't know the actual stats but I think Soward would be well ahead of Benji when it comes to goal kicking %. Maybe by 10-15%.

I have a sick feeling in my stomach that the loser of this game will be eliminated, sensing some upsets this week

 

[Charles Bronson]

Agreed. While I am confident of a Saints victory, it is by no means certain and it will be a horrible weekend waiting to see if we get another shot. (That goes for both teams supporters.) Hope this rain helps the Dragons out and dampens the attacking fluency of the Tigers.

Lawrence isn't playing, Utai in.

Big loss but no excuses, it's a semi and it doesn't matter who you out out there

 

[Ausguy]

rain will play into the dragons favour... cmon dragons i need this tip

 

[thommo4pm]

Rain has stopped at Parramatta, very cold though. Looking west it appears to be a little brighter so hopefully the rain has passed.

[ceagle]

Changing tip to the Dragons since Lawrence has been ruled out and it is pissing down which won't suit the Tigers style. Dragons by 12
