I think we will see a different tigers side this week, The boys will win well.

 

[The unknown]

Surely our record against playing teams coming off a flogging isn't good

 

[Tigerm]

Simply got to keep winning to have any chance, but I think we are gone for the year. Knights never make it easy for us, but hopefully Madge gave it to them and some will be playing for contracts, so we should see a win. Us by 6, RF MoM.

Our record in milestone games isn't great either. This match is the worst of both worlds, plus the Newy fanbase will be baying for blood.

Our record in any game at all is generally shit

Keep the faith lads, we will get the W this week!

I certainly hope we do. I often wonder what it must be like to support teams like the Storm or Chooks where 7 weeks out from the finals you know you will be playing in them. Tigers supporters look at the draw and think mathematically we can still make it....it is a tough gig following the Wests Tigers. I must be a glutton for punishment lol.

It’s tough isn’t it, but I think it will make it all the more sweeter when we actually do win something.

The Roosters has some very lean years prior to the 90s so I guess every club (besides those cheating dogs in that third world city Melbourne) goes through it.

Mate, I am old enough to remember the Chooks going a whole season without a win...I felt sorry for them once hahaha

Smith can't play on forever

LL21 I lost the faith a long time ago. I chose damnation and brimstone over the righteous path. Keeping any sort of faith with this mob is an exercise in futility and likely to cause depression. FFS we've picked garner for this game.

Big milestone game playing a team coming off a flogging at their home ground. This has 40 points written all over it.

 

[Perth Tiger]

Well I guess Madge was not very happy with the forwards.

looking forward to seeing if the new look forward pack responds on Friday

 

[The unknown]

Looks like Madge wasn't f**king around

 

[west4ever]

Great to see Clark in the side, iv been crying out for this for a while, another great move is Matterson to lock, Matterson is a tackling machine and a great ball player, I like the second row in MCK and Garner, The bench is strong, There is a lot more points in this side, The team looks strong in defence and will excell in attack, West Tigers will win this well by 4 try’s or more, where back baby, they will make a strong charge for the finals, let’s go baby.

Credit where credits due...CK Garner and Matterson all dynamic players.Ofcourse he could have gone much further.Still no Talau

 

[Tiger05]

He never does. Who picked that one ? Matterson to the middle and Lawrence off the bench. Big calls.

I like it but I'd like to see the backs improve as well.

 

[Tigerm]

I wonder if Lawrence not in starting side says something about next year?

 

[Old Time Tiger]

I wonder if Lawrence not in starting side says something about next year?

My initial thoughts were the same, then I saw Farah and thought, why?

 

[Pezz70]

Simple game plan here, just run at Kurt Mann all day!!!
