you might be right about the tigers - would have been something wrong though if they didn't thrash a team that had the 2 regular halves & 2 regular centres out, a lock/prop playing 5/8 (wtf?) so no passing or kicking game there, about 6 (give or take 1 or 2) SG ball players taking the regulars' places (and out of position for some of them), a bck rower in his 4th game back from 2 shoulder ops - all against a team hitting their straps.
but that's the way it goes. on another day...

Watched the Tigers and Storm game. For mine the midweek game took a lot out of the Storm.

However a fully fit Tigers side is a match for any side in NYC, they have a very good shot at the title.

Tigers have some great talent coming through, lets hope we keep the best of it.

Bromwich was named at five eight but was playing second row, and Loxley was playing five eight.

So although they had their two halves out, they still had two players that would probably play halves at other teams in the competition.

I think the mid week game affected them, because I have never seen a team, yet alone a team coming first, throw so many balls to the floor and miss so many tackles. In the first 25 they were matching it with the Tigers and I dont know what hapened after that.

Im sure they are a good enough team to bounce back

I think the Tigers are close to the team to beat along with the Warriors, Storm and Cowboys.

Tigers vs Bulldogs will be good to see where both teams are at, the dogs have a good pack, I just do not seeing them being able to win the competition without Sezer in the halves. And the Sharks showed yesterday with a 20 point lead that they can contend, but wont be able to hold on down the stretch against the top teams. Although, if Townsend comes back, that may change.

2 of the dogs 3 losses were very unlucky! Both losses coming in the last minute of the game. Them and the tigers are the form teams of the comp, so their clash could be the game of the season!

Since Marmin Barba has returned, the Eels are really turning their season around and right now they are in great form. Don't know about challenging for the title but any team that has one of the Barba brothers in it is going to give other teams a tough test.
