Souths.

Tigers have no credible dummy half, Brooks may or may not play, Moses is coming off a pre season injury and will probably play gingerly. All that leaves is Tedesco as their attacking weapon.

Very true, Tigers haven't had a game with their spine fully in tact yet. But Moses looked pretty decent in all stars before he got injured, Woods is same old, Teddy looks set to go on another level this year barring injury, Brooks is unknown and hooker unknown

I was worried before but with Renoylds out that's a huge bonus for us being their main organiser. Farah will basically have to do double the work load when you think about it now

Inglis/Tedesco (neck and neck)
Goodwin >> Rankin
Farah >> Mcillwrick
Burgess/Taylor (neck and neck)

Our 1-7 has so much speed to burn over them it isn't funny

Apart from those guys Souths have a pretty ordinary squad. I don't see how they are favourites?

ill be pretty disappointed if we don't roll Souffs

This should be a close match.

Rankin being picked is good for us and Naiqama too.

You guys not having a decent hooker is also good for us.


You guys should be happy we've picked Tyrrell in the front row.

Also that Burns isn't in. He should be there and Talakai should not.

Don't bother he's trolling.

Sam is far more superior. Can make 40 tackles and run over 150metres. You'd be lucky if Taylor made 60metres.

Sam has far more weapons than Taylor.

Burgess is way past his best im sorry to burst your bubble. He might make a lot of runs but is largely ineffective and has the dropsies a lot

Taylor makes 50+ tackles a game and adds another dimension to our attack with his ball skills. He isn't a runner of the ball. You watch

Once again. Apart from your hooker, winger, fullback, five eight and lock your side looks very average and no clue why you guys are firm favourites

Burgess which will show you this Friday.

He is very effective. He has offloads in him too.

I'm not worried by Taylor. I think he can only make tackles. He's got nothing apart from that.

I'm glad you do hold Goodwin in the regard of being a good option. He does get through lots of shit work and eat up the metres coming out of trouble. If you're talking about AJ he gets ragdolled. He is just a finisher. Hunt is the guy who could explode, he's got loads of potential.

Musgrove should go well too.

Imo Naiqama is average along with Rankin and Nofoaluma is inconsistent. Brooks is injured I reckon and ordinary. Moses is the danger. Your hooker is average. Seumanufagai and Lawrence don't bother me. Woods and Sue are your dangerous forwards. Chee Kam is a dud, I don't rate Aloila or whatever he's called. Edwards is a one hit miss. Grant is a plodder.


Should be a close one.

I expect GI will do a lot of shit work for the forwards like Bryson will. Musgrove is strong.

I respect the fact you actually know our players haha (hoping Suli in for Rankin)

Renoylds is a mammoth out for you guys to the point my confidence changed dramatically to the Tigers in a close one to us winning comfortably

If we match it with your forwards (which I think we will) our 1-7 have plenty of points in them to roll over your lads

Be prepared for the Teddy, Moses, Brooks and Nofo show

I will give you Inglis/Tedesco neck and neck as both dangerous players but even the most biased West Tigers fan can not seriously believe that Elijah Taylor is in anyway near the class of Sam Burgess?

Honestly reckon if you asked 100 fans of teams other than the Bunnies & Tigers of who they would rather have in their team Sam Burgess or Elijah Taylor it could be 100-0 in Sam Burgess's favour
