2017 R1 - Rabbitohs 18-34 Wests Tigers @ ANZ

[English Rose]

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

People say Burgess is way past his best don't forget he still got the Coaches Player and Players Player awards at Souths last year. Can't be as bad as people are making out!

 

[MKCS]

Picked the Tigers. Souths go to shit without Reynolds.

 

[Pedge1971]

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

Coaching?

 

[Clifferd]

We rhomped Souffs twice last year with same coaches

Put your house on the tigers

 

[Clifferd]

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

Ok fine I'll give you Burgess over Taylor for now but I'd rather wait till end of season to make judgement

2 different style of players in all honesty

Dont get me wrong, will be close and u def have them in the halves. Backs even themselves out it comes down to defence. Traditionally not a Tigs strong suit. But I gotta tip someone! So Souths.

 

[Rabbits20]

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

Brooks to go off injured lol.

 

[Rabbits20]

Robbie to have a blinder.

 

[Clifferd]

Haha

 

[Vic Mackey]

I have my doubts about whether the souths no. 9 can handle the step-up in class between reggies and first grade.

Tigers by 9.

Hahaa post of the year!

 

[Trollhammaren]

If Suli comes in for Rankin, Tigers 26-6. If Rankin plays Tigers 18-12.

 

[Rabbits20]

Madge could make some late changes.

Hopefully Burns in and Talakai out. Tom to start and Crichton to the bench would be better.

I'd like George in over Tyrrell but it probably won't happen.

 

[Rabbits20]

Souths 20

Tigers 14

My fingers are crossed.

 

[no name]

In a team that won 9 games and lost 15.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

Tigers are going to pump them

 

[krappo]

Have to go with the tiggers for this one

 

[Timmah]

Tigers to win the first Alien Cup of 2017

 

[Rabbits20]

Cody Walker could be a danger man.

I'm not worried about Brooks, but Moses concerns me.

 

[yobbo84]

George has been named for Norths - he won't play save for injuries.

 

[Timmah]

Cody Walker could be a danger man.

I'm not worried about Brooks, but Moses concerns me.

Danger man?

Usually when a fan of one club mentions such a term, it's identifying a player for the opposition who could cause his own team trouble... not your own player lol
