You know what? I had a GREAT weekend over round 15

 

[matrightyeh]

tigers to bounce back and win buy 8

 

[to_ddeath]

Tinklercastle are under all sorts of pressure at the moment, & expect them to sneak home in an upset here.

[Vic Mackey]

Don't have a great feeling about this game, hopefully the boys have their mind on the job and bounce back.

 

[MacDougall]

Interesting match. Chances are that the Tigers will flog them silly but if the Knights can somehow galvanise just for ONE match all they really have to do is watch the tape of the Roosters vs. Tigers and emulate the Roosters plan. But most likely the Knights are all going to be too worried about their own individual performances and try to be superstars and fail to execute a game plan. Expect a massive error count from the Knights and the Tigers to win the penalty count 10-2.

 

[Jobdog]

Be nice if the Knights actually turned up to play for the full 80 minutes. If that happens, I'm not overly concerned about the result. But we all know the Knights will explode out of the blocks for the first 20 minutes, lead 10-0 and then turn it up and lose 34-14.

knights to shit it in :sarcasm:

Nah we'd need to recruit Nate Myles before that could happen. Tigers by 40.

 

[skeepe]

This could be a big, big score.

 

[Jobdog]

To the Knights? Yeah you're right skeepe.

 

[RHCP]

Any word on who's going to drop off the Tigers bench?

 

[woodyk2]

Knights lose this and they are a REAL possibility of getting the spoon. Tiges by 14.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Knights have A LOT to prove here, and they will come out swinging hard in this game I reckon, but on pure form alone, I can see the Tigers bouncing back in a tight one.

Tigers by 4.

 

[Apey]

Yeah in all seriousness I have a feeling the Knights will put in a better performance than they have been but still come up short.

Well, more wishful thinking than anything else...

 

[Jobdog]

Any word on who's going to drop off the Tigers bench?

Tom Humble played NSW Cup yesterday and I don't think they've decided if Farah's playing or not as yet.

 

[Joe's Magpies]

Robbie Farah is playing against the Knights. This is from WT twitter page.

@Wests_Tigers: Great news everyone! Our skipper @robbiefarah will play in tomorrow's clash against the @NRLKnights. Read more here- http://t.co/wsk6Ypqi

 

[Dogs Of War]

C'mon Tigers, only need you guys to win to get a perfect round. First for the year, and as I am already leading the tipping comp I am in, it should go a long way to ensuring I do win it.

 

[Jobdog]

Classic four-point game for the Knights now.

A win will see them just four points out of the eight, but a loss will see that gap extend to eight points.

 

[MacDougall]

Tigers need to treat this as a must win game. A win could see them get as far as 6 points ahead of the teams outside the 8 after their bye next week. The Dragons always struggle against Canberra and the Cowboys should beat the Warriors.

We'll need the gap with our run home. Bulldogs first up after the bye promises to be extremely difficult.
