Somewhat died down in the last few minutes, i'm gonna be there with a few diehard mates.

Looking forward to a good tough old school game of footy. Hopefully the Tigers can get up and break their hoodoo against Easts.

Calling it off won't happen. Sharks/Rabbitohs at Remondis last year was about on par with this weather..huge winds and heavy rain... Dragons/Roosters last year was even worse...

FFS we've got 4 hookers in the top squad and Taylor's playing none of them. Don't like our team at all. Changing my tip to roosters.

A lot of late changes for the Tigs

Not a specialist dummy half in sight

To think he played 3 hookers against the eels and none today. Why is he resting Farah when ballin is injured? Why did cherrington play nsw cup yesterday? With no NYC Even give Liddle a run. It's a 4 day turn around from origin, players do 5 back ups all the time. Even 40-50mins of Farah would have been great today.

If we lose this game it will be on Taylor IMO

Pearce is out for us I believe and we are a dumb football team in general. Our forwards don't want to get stuck in and that's all that will be needed in conditions like this. No Cordner will hurt us more than Pearce being out as well.

We usually cruise against the tigpies but we've been shocking this year. If our pack turns up we'll win easily but that hasnt happened at all this year.

Tupou will probably drop the ball everything it comes his way as he has absolute feet for hands. No confidence at all and think the Tigers will get us by 4.

Yep, if Ballin was in some sort of doubt during the week would've made sense to carry Cherrington in and around the side, and as OK as I was with Farah being rested I think we now need him more than ever. Should've been named on the bench and given up until game day to see if he was starting or not, not smart at all imo

No clue how ET goes at DH

lol neither fans confident, says a lot about our teams.

Last year at the members night with the coaches JT said that when he was at the roosters the forwards loved playing against the Tigers because 'they don't hit us hard.' He said he was trying to change that. Generally roosters props get tries against us, thank god Martin Kennedy isn't playing for his yearly double.

Why would Taylor move Elijah from his best position to hooker? Use Ballin or Cherrington ffs

Been our best player in all 3 games he's played, move him from that position when there's 2 fit hookers sitting in the stands. It's like Sheens never left.
