If the storm rest slater or smith, which I expect them too, I think the tigers are in with a shot here. We have a good record against them at lecihhardt,we've put in in for all home games this year and if Farah and woods get through origin we'll be as close to full strength as we've been all year...hopefully the rain stays away so we can pack the joint out

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

The Storm won't rest the big three, thus they will probably blow the Tigs off the park.

No smith or widdop

The storm will be deserved favourites but the game is winnable for the tigers if they put in.

Don't cry...we gave you Blair...that trumps the lot.

 

[HowHigh]

Is Smith out 100% ?

 

[Rhino_NQ]

storm should plenty of ticker against GC with their squad fillers. I reckon they will still do it comfortably

Your av says it all

Smith out. Tigers in the upset of the season.

I bet you will be going for us,it will help Souths chances of winning the minor premiership.

You know me too well. If results go the right way we'll be 5 points clear.

Between now and the end of this game I even like the Tigers crap jersey design and the fact that they're stupidly called "Wests". Also, Benji is still a great gamewinner.

He's not, but hopefully he rediscovers some of his 2011 form for this game.

 

[MacDougall]

We have won once this season with Tedesco in the side. He has played in every one of our losses (I think?) except in round one and only one of our wins. Don't know if he contributes to the result that drastically but it's interesting to note.

Anyway it'd hardly be the upset of the season now that Smith and Widdop are out and Slater, Cronk and Hoffman are backing up vs. Farah and Woods who barely got any game time and probably would have been less fresh coming off a week off NRL training that what he actually did. Not to mention the Tigers have a significant winning record vs. Melbourne at Leichardt and in general always trouble Melbourne.

 

[Misanthrope]

With Smith and Widdop out, the Storm will do it tough. I still don't see Wests being able to overcome their rampant mediocrity.

Storm by 4.

 

[BunniesMan]

Come on Tigers. Help out a certain competition leading team with a big win here.

 

[Matchball]

Only because it's at LO will I tip the tigers.
Lets hope someone smashes Slater and ends his career.

I'd be proud of my team for that.

 

[Spuddicus]

Come on Tigers. Help out a certain competition leading team with a big win here.

A win from the tigers tonight wont help your team when they have to meet the storm in the finals.

You could get knocked off in the other prelim.
