Sharks by 36

 

[Vic Mackey]

Sportsbet only giving us 15.5 start is taking the piss. it will be that after 10 mins.

Judiciary: Twal to miss one match

All three Wests Tigers players who were charged for separate incidents in the team’s Round 18 loss to the Cowboys have accepted early guilty pleas.

[Das Hassler]

Hynes not picked for origin will probably mean another 20 points or more added to our F/A...our only hope to scrape into the top 16 is at least one more Api / Brooks return win

 

[Tigerm]

TWT instagram stating Nofo will not be available this week, due to a shoulder injury.

This will be another walloping 50+ Fitzgibbon will have his quicker halves running around Wakeham all day. I really don’t know why they dropped Nofo he was hung out to dry because of the mess Wakeham was causing inside him.

Nofo out with shoulder injury

 

[Tigerm]

Aistasi James debut, go well young fellow, well done.

So glad the ashes test at headingley starts the same time as kickoff of this game involving the most pathetic bunch of oxygen thieves coached by the delusional saboteur.

Probly more body contact in the cricket than the tigers will dish up

I'm expecting they'll have a really good go but each half will be 15 mins too long

 

[Benchtiger]

This is a problem with the modern game or is it just the WT, how the f##k can some player that was so f###ing ordinary last week still be in first grade the following week.

Aistasi James debut, go well young fellow, well done.

James: I kept believing

We chat to Aitasi James on the eve of his NRL debut against Cronulla Sharks on Thursday night.

That’s part of the drama of only having 30 players to play, take out injured players, there’s only a couple for each position doesn’t make for a healthy selection by merit scenario, you’re stuck with what you’ve got

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

We are hanging in there Lee.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Imagine if the Tigers were to win, they'd be lining up to be interviewed and no mics to be seen.

To think that in the infinite wisdom of the morons running the NRL they r so intent on expansion.There are barely enough decent players to fill 12 teams let alone 17 or more
