Need to bounce back. Brown needs to sort out the pack. Guerra in is a must and maybe Jacob too.

If he’s gonna give them a spray tomorrow and they don’t respond then we are in strife. If they respond we can still make something of this season.

A big performance will give the team a lift ahead of 2 big away games against Manly and Parramatta.

 

[Frederick]

Whether we win on Friday or not, manly will demolish us. Probably even worse than the roosters did. Their forwards are just way too big and mobile

 

[slotmachine]

Tigers are trash but macguire gave it to them deluxe publicly. They might decide to aim up.

 

[Zoidberg]

Them by a thousand

 

[Knight Vision]

would have to be a major turn around in attitude to give this any shake at all. We have about 1 more game to lose this year or its sayonara 2019

 

[Haffa]

Back to hoping for the best while preparing for disappointment. These are the games we always lose. I don’t think this will be any different.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

We need to win this and win this well. If we lose, season over.

 

[Still Nutty]

We need to recapture what happened the week after the Titans loss....the ability to produce a run of wins like that is in this team but it has to start on Friday night otherwise I think we miss the 8

This. The great shame is that in the majority of matches we have lost this season we beat ourselves rather than the opposition beating us. We're a better team than where we are on the ladder.

[Burns]

Surely won’t be the team to run out, otherwise, lol

 

[Knight Vision]

surely Guerra should be in the side instead of Buhrer. I'd also strongly consider swapping Gavet and JSaf.

 

[Spot On]

Surely won’t be the team to run out, otherwise, lol

It can't be.



Can it?

 

[Old dog]

Bit off an anti climax when name the same 17 + 4 as previous week, it’s like it’s too hard to pick so show the same.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

It can't be.



Can it?

King will come into the side lol

 

[Old dog]

I will be very surprised and disappointed if some, not many changes are made 14-17 2 out, 18-21 2 in, we were bad in last 20mins last week as well as making fundamental mistakes, need a small shakeup to stir things up and those changes should improve the side.

 

[Knight Vision]

theyre down on confidence big time and look the same side that got beat up by the Titans. They need to fire up big time because the Tigers certainly will be.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Toohey reckons Watson might get the start.

 

[Yosh]

King will come into the side lol

To be honest, I think King is a better option than the other forwards on the bench.
