[Nutz]

Tigers have got this, we're on a roll

 

[Tigerm]

Tigers have got this, we're on a roll

Yep, a 10 game streak. Hahaha

 

[Vic Mackey]

We're entering a real tough run

Raiders
Roosters
Storm
Sharks
Rabbits
Warriors

I'll be shocked if we get a win anywhere there.

Think we might have a few guys come back this week. Really hope the guys put in for the Campbelltown fans like they have the Leichhardt ones.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Hopefully the young guys have some fond memories of playing well and more importantly winning games at Campbelltown from their junior rep games, because it's one ell of a gloomy and demoralizing picture that has been painted on the NRL site.

• Wests Tigers have not defeated the Raiders at Campbelltown in a decade.
• The Raiders have won their past eight games against Wests Tigers.
• Centre Justin Olam has scored five tries in Wests Tigers’ three wins this season.
• Raiders fullback Jordan Rapana has scored 16 tries in 14 games against Wests Tigers.
• The Tigers have lost their last 10 games at Campbelltown.

But, if the majority have not been a part of that history and they put in a spirited effort like last week, well, we can hope.

Wouldn’t expect Galvin to have experienced losing many games he played there in the juniors.Titans had a similar ascendancy against us especially at the 8th wonder prior to last wk so hopefully we also turn the corner against raiders @ CO.

I said last week before the GC game that we have got this, we also have got this one!

Hopefully Rapana is ruled out in opening minutes due to HIA

 

[Nutz]

Hopefully Rapana is ruled out in opening minutes due to HIA

and Papali'i and Savage and Tapine and Strange and Whitehead and Weekes and..............

 

[Trollhammaren]

Benji basically never lost to the Raiders in his playing career from memory. Should name himself in jersey 23 just in case.

Is the true, great stat if true. Well done hammer.
I bet you, like me, haven't lost a game to the Raiders either

Got a bit of a good feel to the team, though I always feel that, but plenty of new blokes, keen to strut their stuff.

I’m all in for an upset and make it another 2 in a row.

Us by 4 with Gal MoM to remind everyone that he could be the one.

 

[Pezz70]

There’ll be a little niggle in this game who is gonna be first in the bin? Naden or Seyfarth?

 

[Tiger05]

Hopefully neither of them stuff up especially Seyfarth. I think he is starting to show that he can be a quality player for us.

Amazing stat for a professional sports team.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Assume both Sezer & Olam have a good record at Leumeah as well.

 

[Fordy20]

I had no idea Porter was 27. Still, this will be a good test for our young pack. Stef is going to have to stand up again if he wants that Origin spot in Game 3

 

[Nutz]

We are going to go back to back to back. I'll even bet a dollar on it.

 

[Tiger Ted]

Stephanie doesn’t care about origin spot as much as he cares about sparking a bidding war from the numerous cashed up clubs for his signature.The sooner he informs WT he’s fking off the better.Ive no doubt Richo has plans in place & is diligently shopping around for value middle forwards
