[Valheru]

This is at Leichardt so I automatically give the tigers a chance. Certainly $4 is way overs against a bipolar cowboys outfit.

Tigers by 2

Tigers by 2

let’s see the teams names first, Benji said he expected 3-4 outs after Friday which include Galvin

We do traditionally get the cows in Sydney so agree $4 seems well overs

 

[Saxon]

If Cows loose this they may as well pack up and go home.

 

[GongPanther]

Can't see a Tiges win unless the Cows away from home go back in their shell.

 

[Fangs]

This game has been a fun one in recent years. Plenty of points to be scored.

Tigers upset? Just because. Tigers to get revenge on their thumping earlier this year and the Cows are fodder in the finals anyway so let the rot start now.

 

[JamesRustle]

Tigers have only beaten shit teams at Leichhardt Oval this year, and I expect that to continue here. Tigers by 2 in the dying minutes.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Another Benji masterclass as the Tigpies edge closer to a Wooden Spoon Three Peat.

 

[yobbo84]

Why the hell would you pick Utoikamanu? If he doesn't want to back himself at the Tigers, why waste a spot? Drop the bloke to reggies.
