[Vic Mackey]

Man this is the most boring last round I can ever remember, how many games have meaning, like 2?

Id like to think us, i was surprised at how much we put in last week so hopefully that will continue. Titans will be keen to make it into a game of touch. Either way the game should be entertaining in the terrible kind of way.

Wests by 8, Makasani 2 tries

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Tigers not playing for a spoon just doesnt hit the same.

 

[Valheru]

Titans so that the last game of the round means something.

 

[JamesRustle]

A spoon bowl match up lost over the last month. What an absolute shame.

Titans to play for Des and send him out with a win.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Well as a wt member, obviously would like to see us end the season on a high note.

But that said, the game has a bit of interest for me because Des was my first choice to follow on from Tim not Benji. Then I had Flanno.

So if we get it done, it will cap off a very lame year for the Tigers, despite relief from the spoon and for me, in large part due to miracle acts of God in jagging the May brothers.

If we lose, it will reinforce my position that Benji isn’t where he needs to be.

At the start of the year, the market had us 10, 11, 12th to finish but without Taylan May.

In the broad, I’ve enjoyed the flatter contests we’ve seen this season and the recent chaotic scramble for a finals berth.

Decades for the salary cap to operate a bit.

I’ve seen some great games from forgotten players this season.

 

[Someone2]

Titans by 14

 

[Vic Mackey]

Chris Butler hasn’t refereed since round 8 when he was reportedly dropped for not being fit enough to keep up with play. He’s now been given one last game before retirement on a sunny afternoon on the Gold Coast. What could go wrong?!

 

[Wb1234]

This crowd looks bad

Shame they aren’t trying Carter Gordon in the halves

 

[Diesel]

52-50 score line coming up

 

[Diesel]

I hope that camera is 30 cm from Benji‘s face and not on zoom from the other side of the field

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

Cartwheeling over a knee high tackle. Penalty

 

[Vic Mackey]

Latu has a terrible tackle technique, he does one of those once a week, gets way too low

 

[Wb1234]

How’s that a tigers knock on

 

[Diesel]

Seyfarth celebrating like he won the .GF

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

How’s that a tigers knock on

I'm just happy nobody got binned

 

[Diesel]

How’s that a tigers knock on

Bunker bingo

 

[Wb1234]

Try to bula

 

[Munky]

That was a good catch

 

[Vic Mackey]
