[The unknown]

Genuinely think Raiders will roll us here, they are all class and I'm not confident at all

 

[west4ever]

I think the boys should go down to Canberra with there pants down, Raiders are just going to pull the down anyway.

 

[benched tiger]

Yes, they will have their way with us for 80 minutes.

If we cant stop dogshit like the Eels putting 30 on us we are rooted this weekend .

Yep the raiders r levels above parra.They r superior & quicker than us all over the park & it’s the dreaded 5:30 shift in Canberra.I so hope we don’t get flogged & can somehow pull off a major upset to keep our slim final 8 hopes alive.

 

[The unknown]

Jennings dropped

 

[Tiger05]

I like the team. I can't see us winning though. I think we have gone to pieces.

 

[leaguelegend21]

Amazing to see Talau on the bench.

I heard reporters today saying that Madge is dismayed with how far Robert Jennings game has fallen this year - he was highly capable at Souths last year and has regressed so much it isn’t funny.

I’d be shocked if he plays grade again this year and he is looking at being added to our never ending scrap heap.

If Maguire has said that, we won't be seeing Jennings in the NRL 17 for some time to come. If Jennings is dogging it he should be subject to some form of redress from WT, if he doesn't want to be here ask for a release and go elsewhere for heavens sake.

 

[leaguelegend21]

Madge wouldn’t publically say it but it’s certainly the feeling of the coaching staff.

I’d even say some players would be dismayed at how a first grade winger with over 70 games experience could be stepped.... on the sideline....

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Good riddance to Jennings. As a lot of people have pointed out during the year he basically caught passes and fell over the line for tries at south's. All the hard work had been done for him.

Different story at the tigers. I go back to the game against the rorters when he was given an offload 20 metres off our line. It was a pretty crap off load but he got monstered and almost pushed back into the in goal. Looked like he showed no effort at all

 

[WA Tiger]

That it took 17 Rounds for Madge to act concerns me..Jennings hasn’t gotten worse he was a dud from day 1 ...Madge needs to make the changes when required ...

 

[stryker]

Yep and they should apply the lube themselves just to save time

 

[Pezz70]

Mmmmm, Jennings in the reggies. I’m gonna be optimistic here and say we’re gonna give them a run for their dough. Prediction 24-18 tigers Mbye 4/4 and a try.

Like ur optimism.Canberra do have a formidable team but we r capable of an upset especially if we convert our tries for a change.
