Last win was against the Broncos wasnt it.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

I bet we will be complacent dickheads and the Tigers will come out hungry. FML

Believe it or not the Tigers will probably win this.

Do yourselves a favour and take them at the line.

I’ve got a feeling it will be reasonably close. If it gets to +18.5 definitely worth a go. Brisbane have been a bit off the last 2 weeks and are probably nearing a loss. However They can just go bang and put a stack of points on quickly as we saw v saints, which is something we don’t have.

Second 50 of the year. (Panthers will get there first over the Raiders).

 

[This Year?]

If the Broncos can put 40 on a shit team like the Dragons I shudder to think how many they will put on the Tigers if they get going.
Kevvie should rest anyone if they have any slight niggles and spread the minutes around his forward rotation.

Broncos by 20

 

[Fangs]

Broncos were poor last week, expecting a big improvement.

This could get ugly for the Tigers. They had a better second half against the Storm but they aren't playing with any confidence. I'd suggest they drop one of their wingers as that might turn things around for them.

 

[yobbo84]

Daine Laurie is far too talented a player to be sitting outside the Tigers 17.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Bateman could be a late out due to injury

 

[Stinkfinger]

WT not as bad as they seem. Broncos not as good as they seem. It won't matter, Broncos, at home of course, too good here.

Sheens is just the coach to motivate him

Don't know whats happened to Laurie this season. Anyway Brisbane by 54-6.

 

[Someone2]

Broncos 46-4

Hes been shit for 18 months, I dont rate Staines or Douiehi as a 1 at all but they're both far better options then him

That's coaching not talent IMO

 

[Vic Mackey]

That's coaching not talent IMO

Maybe, but guys like Kepaoa and Tupou in the backs have all improved considerably over the past 12 months. I dont see any charactierstics of a good fullback in him, maybe a lower level five eighth.

Also seems fairly unprofessional off the field, his instagram is him pissing it up and riding skateboards every weekend

Sheens may well line him up at prop
