Tigers by as many as they want

The Sombreros may start the season with a 50 pointer

Nah.

The roosters have always bashed us through our softcock pack. That won’t happen Saturday week. Will be nice to not watch them make 70m a set through 5 basic hit ups for once.

Even if we match them or slightly shade them in the forwards though their back line is miles ahead of ours.

Wests only hope is if their combos are way off early and we somehow get insane amounts of luck.

Either way I’m tipping Easts by 12.

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Roosters will murder Tigers, cant see the poor tigers winning much in the first 8 weeks..

 

[This Year?]

Roosters by 50 and the boos for Tedesco won't stop the entire game,

 

[The Vaulting Violinist]

Tedesco to turn face halfway through the game and reveal a tigers jersey underneath

The night a legend is born. Diminutive journeyman Cory Thomas becomes the Tigers superstar fullback

Yep, it’s a shame Slater didn’t get an Origin send off. No doubt he’s played his game for QLD with Cory on the scene

 

[adamkungl]

Roosters to break the record for most errors in an NRL era match and still win by pure arse

 

[Hutty1986]

Cory, story....allegory

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'd be a lot more confident if Sharon was still a Tiger. He's been JWHs gimp for years.

As it is I reckon we'll scrape home in a rather rusty affair on the back of some Teddy and Latrell magic.

Roosters by 8.

It won't be next year, we've got Cronk til then.

 

[Roosters rule]

Roosters by 50+ Teddy 3 tries by half time.

Don’t you mean teddy snapped acl by half time?

Won't happen. He is going to run riot over the Tigers paper thin defence.
