Looks like Barrett getting axed this week, just in time for us to play the Dogs. Teams tend to bounce back the game after sacking their coach, so let's hope they keep him on.

Looks like Barrett getting axed this week, just in time for us to play the Dogs. Teams tend to bounce back the game after sacking their coach, so let's hope they keep him on.

Worst scenario for Tigers, Dogs either turn up due to the blast coming from Gould or play like they have been due to Baz not being good enough.

Tigers owe the Dogs, I hope Madge reminds them that it was 38 blot to the Dogs in the last round last season.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

I know 2 things with absolute certainly.

1. we'll be down to 15 men by half time.
2. we'll get butt f**ked by whoever the ref is.

 

[Tigerm]

This game could end up being the scariest game of the year, we don’t seem to be good at winning games we are expected to win?
The nightmare of last year is still raw?
We should win it, but they have a pretty good roster and the bounce back is certainly going to be against us, as others have said. They are calling for JAC to get a run at FB, watch him give it to us?
f**k, our injuries have been cruel to us and shows our terrible lack of depth.

 

[WA Tiger]

At least if we lose we will have Tamau in the presser to explain what went wrong, and how to go about fixing it

 

[The Rosco]

I'm reserving my thoughts until we hear from rhyno.
Shouldn't be too long.

 

[Trollhammaren]

Interestingly looks like we've signed Brent Naden effective immediately. On our extended bench this week so could come in.

 

[Tigerm]

Anyone know anything about Brown?

 

[Tigerm]

Alex Twal’s 100th game, surely he is 100 to 1 to finally score a try

 

[Perth Tiger]

if the whole team doesn't absolutely mob him when it finally happens I would be disappointed. Even if we are getting flogged.

FRIDAY

Wests Tigers vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 6pm at Leichhardt Oval

Tigers team: 1. Starford To’a 2. Junior Tupou 3. Asu Kepaoa 4. Tyrone Peachey 5. Ken Maumalo 6. Jock Madden 7. Jackson Hastings 8. James Tamou 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Zane Musgrove 11. Luke Garner 12. Luciano Leilua 13. Joe Ofahengaue 14. Kelma Tuilagi 15. Alex Twal 16. Fa’amanu Brown 17. Stefano Utoikamanu 18. Alex Seyfarth 19. Oliver Gildart 20. Thomas Mikaele 21. Brent Naden 22. Junior Pauga 23. Tukimihia Simpkins 24. Fonua Pole

Team Analysis: Jock Madden comes in to replace the injured Luke Brooks, while Jacob Liddle comes in for Jake Simpkin after he suffered a sickening head knock last week. Tyrone Peacheyremains in the centres after switching there late last week, whileAsu Kepaoa returns from Covid protocols in the centres. That allows Luke Garner to move back to his native second row position. Last week’s debutant Junior Tupou retains his spot on the wing and Zane Musgrove has been named despite picking up a shoulder injury. There are two interesting new additions with mid-season signing Nu Brown on the bench and former Bulldog Brent Nadenlisted in the reserves after joining the club this week.

Glad Tuilagi has been benched, he has been poor lately. I hope Simpkin hasn't walked under the same ladder that Liddle did at the start of his career, poor kid is starting to struggle to stay uninjured

 

[Vozzy]

Yeah both Tuilagi and LL have been poor last few games. LL was good for about 5 games now gone back to being gassed. I think the pair of them did 6 hit ups combined last week. Every time we play on 9 Joey raves on about how good these 2 are but doing 3 hard runs a game isn't what a $700k player is worth.

 

[Tigerm]

Yes, I thought the same for Tuilagi, Stefano and Leilua TBH. Hopefully they pick up, starting his week?

 

[Trollhammaren]

Lol Mick Potter will be coaching the Dogs this week. Hopefully Farah can find a new inspired way to undermine him to conjure a win for us, instead of the inverse like last time.

Never a good sign for us?

 

[Ned Kelly]

With all that's going on for the dogs it's kind of like woo hoo, we could win this one while at the same time if we do so what.

I’ll take the woo hoo

 

[BrotherJim05]

Usually this would be a game we lose, but I think with Hastings at 7 we will win
