this one should nudge our crowd average over 20,000 :crazy:

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

cant wait, should be a great game
hopefully shifty remains as halfback for this week.

 

[jimmythehand]

my favoured lineup:

Patten, El Masri, Millard, Tonga, Emilio (or Utai if he's showing some form), Holdsworth, Sherwin, O'Meley, Roberts, Mason, SBW, Ryan, Maitua
McIlwain, Koups, Armit, Hickey

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

not sure if we would draw 32k like last time we played them on friday night, i think it will be just under 30k, about 27-29k

hopefully its a lot more, this game will be important for us to improve our chances of a top 4 spot this season, so hopefully we see a lot of blue and white out there on friday, although i have no doubt that we wont.

 

[Timmah]

Why would you drop Cutler?

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

1. Patten
2. El Masri
3. Millard
4. Tonga
5. Cutler
6. Holdsworth
7. Sherwin (i can only hope so, atlhough im confident he will stay at HB)
8. Armit
9. Hughes
10. Mason
11. Williams
12. Ryan
13. Maitua

14. Mcilwain
15. O'Meley (let him start off the bench, he did well against the tigers last year coming off the bench)
16. Hickey
17. Cleal

i wouldnt mind Roberts or Tee Maari in the side either off the bench, but i dont see him dropping Armit,Hickey or Cleal

 

[innsaneink]

Would like to see Emelio back in the centres (Millard back to PL).
Sherwin at half and Roberts on the bench with three forwards.
But in saying that Millard and Roberts have been solid.
Trust Steve Folkes opinion,,,he is doing a great job.

 

[jimmythehand]

Why would you drop Cutler?

because he's sh*t. what has he ever done except finish off some tries than any average first grade winger could have done? I want a winger that will take pressure off my forwards not put more pressure on them by making mistakes or being dominated in every tackle.

 

[Timmah]

Perhaps you should get out and watch a Premier League game.

Cutler's form has been sterling compared to the half-assed efforts I've seen Utai produce.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

to be honest, im not confident to say that anybody from PL will be brought up, i think the scoreline against the eels PL team said it all.

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

we were told by a tigers supporter on the kennel, that the tigers supporters area has been sold out, and the army has to move to bay 142.

looks like both teams will have a strong fan base on friday, hopefully we see a crowd of over 30k.

 

[tigerdan]

yeah thats what tickettek said the prob ios we cant take our flg poles over 1.4m

but we can have our banners

should be a good game

good luck friday

 

[Dogaholic]

Cleal Vs Gibbs

[Dogaholic]

 

[jimmy_the_greek]

cant wait, should be a great game
