[Downie]

For some reason, that Storm team doesn't look as good after Origin. I reckon a really well coached team could score a few tries against them. Unfortunately I don't think the Tigers are the team to do it

With that said, they still look a brilliant attacking team.

Tigers' Matthew Head hit by injury

July 8, 2008 - 2:12PM

Wests Tigers have suffered a blow ahead of Monday's NRL match against reigning premiers Melbourne with halfback Mathew Head ruled out due to injury.

A recurrence of a shoulder injury and a separate thumb problem are expected to keep Head out for at least two weeks.

Tigers coach Tim Sheens said on Tuesday Head was likely to be replaced by John Morris, who started the season at halfback.

"John's done the job there, earlier in the year we won our first two games with him at seven," Sheens said.

"As long as he's got support I think John can do the job."

The 10th-placed Tigers had hoped to get prop Todd Payten back for the match at Campbelltown Stadium but he is likely to miss out again due to a hamstring injury.

They will however welcome back Keith Galloway from a foot injury.

 

[African Monkey]

Morris will guide the Tigers to victory.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Pretty sure Witt hasn't actually been named 18th man yet.
