Getting the points this week

[Tigers_are_Pro]

I'd be in favour of giving the other Fifita a run in place of Moors or even Mataka if he's not injured. Mataka had an awesome game against Parra the first time round. The kid is an awesome hole hitter, would be brilliant running of Benji & Robbie.

Was this the match Daine Laurie took it to Moi Moi .

Four forwards. What you need against Parra.

We do not need a "utility" (and I use that word loosely) this week.

f**k Fitzhenry off for Moors and I will be relatively pleased with the side named.

Only had four forwards that game as Moltzens elbow injury ruled him out after warm up, Hanbury went from bench to starting and Schirnack debuted

Yeah.....thats the one!

 

[macnaz]

wished we had an enforcer in our pack, very handy for these types of games to lead the charge and motivate the others... Maybe fifita will come close to doing it.

He'll have to last more than 10 minutes to be effective.

 

[Perth Tiger]

So is this another player you are going to bag relentlessly?

 

[gronkathon]

Have to contain Mateo.

We make this imbo look like a star every year

Only if Sheens takes years to work it out. If he goes against the coaching staff who think he's a lazy plodder and the players who think he's a twat, then yes - I will.

According to the player profiles on the official website, Gibbs is an enforcer, but Galloway is the enforcer.

It sounds silly. But just score more points than them. The two best attacking sides in the comp and probably the two worst defensively. Whoever has the momentum for longer will win.

speak for the tigers mate, but as far as the eels go they have been for the past year (sunday excluded) one of the best if not THE best defensive team in the comp. it was moreso our defence rather than our attack that got us to the GF and dare i say itll be the backbone of our journey back there this year.​

 

[macnaz]

we dont have one, especialy Gibbs, as for Galloway as good a player as he is , he is still a very placid front rower, when he gets the sh*ts tho watch out, but thats a rare occasion. We need a player that the opposition is always looking out the corner of their eye and waiting for that hard arse to smash them any second. Lawrence hits harder generaly then any of our forwards do.!
Does anyone remember a channel 9 game last year when big kef got all revved up and smashed someone in a tackle and popped the guys shoulder? Id pay to see him in that mood all the time.

I've no doubt that when you guys are on, you're on. But just like the start of last year, you've got too much dropped ball and lazy efforts to be considered anywhere near a good defensive team. You'll look good against us this week, and maybe play yourselves into form - but I think it'll be a while yet before we see the best of the Eels.

Parra will get a million offloads this week. They always do against the Tigers.

What does dropping balls have to do with defense besides the fact you have to do more of it? In fact with the amount of balls we have given to the opposition in the first 2 rounds, think the scorelines show we're alright defensively. Think this game will be won by whoever can create the most chances. I may hate your f'ing guts but I do like to watch Tigers play because they're rarely boring. Good luck but GO PARRA!

You just said it. You can't be a good defensive team if you give the opposition 10000 attempts on your line, because you'll crack eventually. The Dragons side are worse than the Eels, but only 3 dropped balls means you were always going to concede more trys than them due to weight of possession.
