I've decided the Tigers have enough of an outside chance of winning that I'll actually watch their game with some glimmer of hope (assuming the Warriors win). I must be a glutton for punishment for putting myself through this all over again...
ok. lets look at the Tigers track record over the last month. They got thumped 40+ by the Chooks, got thumped by 30+ by the Titans, lost to the wooden spoon Eels, and lost +12 last week to the Rabbits.
In the Rabbits game, they shot to an 18-0 lead in the first 20mins. Thanks largely to Sam Burgers binning. Upon his return, Souths proceeded to score 32 unanswered points for the remainder of the game.
Note this was Benji's 200th game for the Tigers, its was also his last in Sydney, & to top it off, the 4 burger brothers were playing together for the very first time. If there was any incentive to have a big game - that was it.
This weekend they have to travel to Nth Queensland & take on a red hot team playing for a finals spot. A team high on confidence and a team that have now won 5 in a row. While miracles do happen, it would be foolish to waste that miracle on the Tigers winning tomorrow.
Thats my rationale on the Tigers losing.
whats yours? blind hope? ;-)
