[The Silverdale Phantom]

They are in for a good towelling up.

Methinks another opportunity for photos for the boys here.

 

[The unknown]

I'm actually confident we can put 20+ past them

But I've learnt to never be confident as a tigers supporter. So a 1 point win will do

 

[Vic Mackey]

Don’t know, the cows whilst lacking talent have put in every game this year. They knocked off the Roosters a few weeks back and were unluckily not to do the rabbits a week later. I think they get Morgan and maybe a couple of others back this week too.

Our record over them is phenomenal so will back us but I think it will be a real tough game. I don’t think there will be more then 10 points in it. Will say us by 8

 

[The unknown]

hey furston where's ya qld spirit now ya dumb prick

 

[Tigerm]

Us by 14, with MM MoM.

 

[Pezz70]

Us by 14, with MM MoM.

They’ll play Hess in the centres and run him at Mbye all night. That’d be a great plan for them. We’d have to score 40 to win

i have real fear about this game . we need to be up for every game left .
we may be lucky that our shared history will have them and us up for this .
but make no mistake we may win enough games to get in the 8 .but i'll put a dollar we win none of them by more than 10 points

I fear it too but I think we’ll be up for it. The following week against the Dogs worries me more

 

[leaguelegend21]

We will win this easy - relax and sit tight all week folks, I can’t wait to see us make it 2 on the trot.

I’ll get the champagne out now!

relaxed gets you 9th .stay frosty

 

[Tiger05]

There was a lot of confidence against the Eels and we got smashed. We have the ability to win but we are also inconsistent.

I hope we get the win this time.

 

[The Charlatan]

Not confident as the Cowboys are putting in 100% in every game. They're certainly up from a scrappy one.

Don't care whether we win by 1 or 100. Just gotta keep winning.

 

[Tiger Ted]

IF we win the next 2 winnable games we will b in the 8 a month out from finals.That was inconceivable a month ago.I so hope the LO game v sharks isn’t a dead rubber for us.

And if the Sharks LO game is a game for a finals berth what's the bet we bottle it just like every other important game in our history...

 

[The Charlatan]

There's two points separating 7th through to 11th.

Penrith has had a good run and still have to play the Broncos, Knights and Sharks so they could steal the points away from the others.

 

[west4ever]

Do we make the 8, I wanna know ur prediction and what u think.

 

[west4ever]

My thoughts on this game is, I think it will be like last weeks game, I thought we would of smashed the knights but it was try for try, I think we will smash the cows but could turn out try for try, the cows haven’t been playing to bad, my prediction is masters first try tigers by 16 Brooks m o m.

 

[leaguelegend21]

Gee us Tigers fans are a disillusioned bunch (and rightfully so). Well tell your Shrinks to f**k off for the next month because we are winning every game from here until the finals and making this 8!

Can I quickly say though - I really want Thomaso Talau, the Samoan Sex Machine, Grandson of the late WWE Superstar UMAGA to debut on the flank in this game. I wasn't too impressed with Mikhail Gorbachev's nephew Paulos Momirovski in the last game.

He made a few poor handling errors, but what concerned me most was his finishing ability. When he got that glorious ball from the Gambian Goddess Moses Mbye, he stuttered on his run and almost bombed a certain try. He looks generally slow and tentative and at the moment we need to score off every half chance so we need a good winger.

However, anything is better than the shell-less terrestrial gastropod mollusc (scientific word for a slug) Robert 'I am a slug' Jennings.
