[Tigerm]

Same side as last week.
Its a tough one, Gagai back from injury.
Don't know if Doueihi's goal kicking was a fluke last week, but it does bring us a bit closer, if he gets chances.
Us in an upset, only to see the sharks win (then top 8 chase is all over), but still playing for 9th, which is better than 10th.

 

[Mr_Raditch]

Can't seeing us getting close to Souths. Walker & Cook will carve us apart through the middle. Souths 13+

 

[benched tiger]

It was great to have that win from behind last week but let’s be honest Manly were pretty ordinary, although Souths were not great last week I expect them to have our measure this week unfortunately.

Yep hard to be an optimist.

 

[Blackwhitegold]

Tigers 13+ I think there defence will tighten up a lot more then last week and have there attack continue from the end of last week’s game. Rabbits won’t have the same intensity as manly did at the start of last weeks game. This game will surprise most. I’m not being optimistic I think it genuinely will happen.

I think we’re an outside chance, My worry is Walker will take Sua and Murray at Marshall all night. If that happens Souths will put 30 on us

 

[Pezz70]

Luciano Leilua has to see more ball. 5 runs last week was a shithouse effort

 

[Das Hassler]

In all

That's ok so long as we put 31 on them...we're going to have to have a take no prisoners attacking mindset in each of these 3 games as we probably won't be keeping any of them to under 20 points

That was his worst game and it was a shocker.

 

[Vic Mackey]

to be fair we barely had the ball

sadly I think Souths will do a number on us. Tatola our for them is good for us as he’s turned into a good player

souths 34-16

When Tatola was captaining our 20’s side it was glaring the kid was special to everybody bar the myopic WT hierarchy.

 

[simmo1]

Investing in JJ Felise (where is he now?) over Tatola is one of the lesser mentioned WT retention f**k ups of recent years.

You’d think they could ask more than one question though?

He handled it well though. The media are dicks.

You never know though mate. Maybe Felise would have gone to Storm and become the next best thing, or Tatola stayed here and career went no where.

Never know

LMFAO.
Thanks man, needed that..

 

[stryker]

Souffs are a far better side than the rabble we played last week...and they scored six tries.
We’ll be dusted 30+
