I see Parra turning it around in a likely messy game. Tigers to start their march to improved credibility. Eels 24-16.

And lol@souffs.

Ever since the Melbourne game I've seen nothing but positives for the Tigers

Hopefully they keep on the up today. I agree that the Tigers have improved lately, and it is only good for the competition if teams that have had basket case moments, can come back from them.

Sadly, the Eels seem on the way down, so today if the Tigers win we might argue if the Eels have declined below the Tigers, or if the Tigers have climbed above them.

I'd just be happy with a 1 point win tbh. Eels are just as desperate as us in getting their season on track so they won't be easy..

In the Taylor era this would be a game we would be certainties to lose but with Cleary having 2 weeks with the squad I'm a bit more confident he can get the side up. Defend like last week and we have a huge chance

Impossible to pick what the tigers will produce atm. Don't know where key players heads will be. The Moses situation is particularly unsual as he is playing against the team who's training he could be at tomorrow.

The only similar thing I can remember is the year Craig Field switched from Manly to Balmain he's first game was against the Eagles in which he produced a MOTM performance in a tigers upset win.

The eels have been horrible since their implosion on the GC which is a surprise as I thought they looked great in the first 2 rounds. The plus for them is norman/Jennings/semi on the left against the tigers terrible right side defence. Although Cleary's subtle changes of moving Idris to right center and ET defending on the edge worked well last week.

The Easter Monday games have always been close encounters with great atmospheres, sadly I doubt we'll be getting 35k+ today as in previous years.

Not really sure why but I'm tipping the Eels by 4

I know the Tigers are a terrible team but I love watching them mainly because of Tedesco and Moses.
