In Sydney too…WE ARE MORALS!

 

[Pezz70]

Last time the Tigers had less than 30 missed tackles in a game was round 7, we have only done it twice this year, I didn’t work out the average missed tackles per game but it is over 40. Atrocious, it’s not a wonder we can’t win a footy game. 33.29 points scored against us on average vs 19 for. We aren’t winning again this season

 

[Fordy20]

I just want to see Latu play 80. I can't see it happening though.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Apparently Cotter and Taulmalolo out

Hoping the rumours of Galvin and Pole out arent true

Johannssen has been promoted after some good games?
Alaimalo playing and no Laulilii?

 

[Tiger05]

I like the team again. I hope that Latu plays 80 minutes at 7. I reckon IP goes better in the middle. That bench is pretty good.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I’m warming to our chances. Depends if we can show up

Alaimalo playing and no Laulilii?

Laulilii went to head bin after a nasty whack last game so he prob he's out from concussion protocols thingy majig.
I haven't seen much of Johannssen tbh.
I'm really hoping Alaimalo has got over that knee injury as I believe he's a lot better than what he's shown so far.

We've got this

 

[Wizardman]

I hope the crowd rips into Stefano.

Somebody put a clip of Johannssen up after last weekends game. Only thing I’ve ever seen of him but he put some nice footwork in one off the ruck that led to a try from about 50 out. It was Fordy20 in the NSW Cup thread, go check it out.

Cheers Pezz. I'll have a look at that for sure.
What's it doing in the right thread. It should have been in put in the dumping ground rumours thread

@Pezz70
What a goose, I did watch that when it was first posted, hopefully not the onset of dementia
Hey Pezz, there is another Pezz in LU, who's that?

Your missus

 

[Vic Mackey]

Yeah I like the team too, glad Alaimalo is back. Would probably try Feledy for Faataape. Think we can give this a shake, cows missing a few forwards. I’ll tip us in an upset.m by 8.
