[SLRBRONCOS]

Tigers one match winning streak to end unfortunately

 

[soc123_au]

Manly are leakier than a Minto mother of 12 jumping on a trampoline. Tigers to go back to back.

 

[westerntiger]

We haven't won at this graveyard since round 6, 2020

 

[GongPanther]

WT with their first win by 22-14.

 

[Incorrect]

We haven't won at this graveyard since round 6, 2020

To be fair, you haven't really won at too many other grounds/graveyards in that time either....

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Manly by as many as they like, sadly. I just can't see where the Tiggers first win comes from right now.

 

[eagles4eva]

Awesome to see Fainu get a run on the bench. The kids a freak...

Hopefully that's the side that runs out against the Tigers . Johns out is all sorts of wonderful, Just waiting for Koula to return and Morgan Harper gone... Oh happy days

 

[Nealo 12]

Suggestion for Tigers fans … get another hobby

 

[Someguy]

Bench is classic Sheens genius

 

[This Year?]

2 backs on the bench. I'm lost for words.

 

[lockscombi]

I think this could be closer than people think. Manly by 9. I'm taking a small punt on WT @ 3.5 though. CMON TIGERS!

 

[Apey]

The Tommy Trbos beat Storm last week, Tigers no chance.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Bula has a heap of talent but is extremley raw and not near frist grade ready. Really seems more of a centre/winger then a fullback to me. I expect DCE/Turbo to crucify the poor kid.

 

[Someone2]

Manly by 30

 

[Someguy]

2 backs on the bench. I'm lost for words.

I miss the days of 3 hooker bench. Sheens is before his time

 

[pantherz9103]

Some hope for Tigs as It’s not at a Brookie or 4 Pines or whatever it’s called. Manly are pus away from home but not sure if pus enough to lose to the Tigs.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Bring in it on!



The last bone out of Balmain’s almost gone
In seven walking hours, I’ll be chewing on a thong
There ain’t nothing like the whiskers
Of a cheated poodley princess
I’ll be humping Tigers board members all day long.

 

[westerntiger]

At least 40% of that crowd is Manly fans

 

[clipser]

No utility on the bench for manly today
