Manly 1-12.

 

[This Year?]

Very interesting to see what Madge has done with this side and Manly with Hasler should make the Tigers fight hard for their win.

 

[Valheru]

Hard to know what either team will bring.

Tigers because they are healthier

 

[Vic Mackey]

With Manlys outs I’d very disappointed with a loss.

The style of play we showed against the warriors was very different to last year. We didn’t quiet pull it off but it felt like all we did was defend, especially in the first half. I expect a bit of teething problems getting used to the new coach and a few new combos.

Our record at Leichhardt when we’re favourites isn’t pretty so certainly not confident but I’ll tip us in to do it 22-12

 

[Miller was a legend]

Tigers!

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Tigpies will get home

 

[GongPanther]

Tigers to give Manly a right going over. Tiges by 44-14 and to lead the comp after the 1st round.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Tigers by 2

 

[Vozzy]

Tigers 20-12

 

[Xcalibre]

I feel like I’ve taken crazy pills with all these tips for the Tigers.

I predict a huge win to Moanly. Twin Trbos to blow them off the park.

 

[Patorick]

Tigers.

Easily.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Tigpies because Leichardt

 

[no name]

That back 5 for Manly is dreadful.

[Vic Mackey]

Tigpies because Leichardt

It’s been the opposite lately

That back 5 for Manly is dreadful.

Wests isn’t much better

 

[AJB1102]

I feel like I’ve taken crazy pills with all these tips for the Tigers.

I predict a huge win to Moanly. Twin Trbos to blow them off the park.

If Tom blows anyone it will be off the park, he's injured for the first month or so I think.

 

[Xcalibre]

If Tom blows anyone it will be off the park, he's injured for the first month or so I think.

Tigers with some hope then.

 

[mxlegend99]

Tigers in a close one after seeing that Manly line-up.

If Tommy Turbo was playing I would probably lean toward Manly. But Im going with Jennings grabbing a hat trick in his Tigers debut to win for them.
