[Tigerm]

Good to see some reserve forwards getting a go?

But, don’t we have any backs worthy of a go?

Easts are on fire, we are dire as usual, not going to be pretty.

 

[MasterTiger]

For some stupid reason I think we may have a slight chance. The coaching staff will hopefully try to instil in WT players that the Roosters need this and they will approach it with sudden death finals footy. So WT players here is a chance to experience that type of game intensity. Hopefully they will want to and play their part. Got a feeling this will be a good game.

The rorters own us plus they are peaking at business end.We are deplorably shithouse & r not worthy of playing in the NRL.They will put 50+ on us.

 

[Tigers1986]

Hargraves alone will destroy our feeble pack. Then Keary can link up Tedesco, Manu, Sualii for a feast. I think this, fittingly, could be a cricket score at the SCG.

To ease the pain, I'm going to captain Manu for my supercoach prelim.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Where there’s life there’s a chance.

The roosters will think they have this won already.

Some internal issues as they are offloading players. Blood everywhere in that club.

We need our High Intensity game.

 

[WA Tiger]

I’d rather we lost. Otherwise its just too confusing

 

[Tiger05]

I’d rather we lost. Otherwise its just too confusing

I'd rather we win but it's pretty boring atm. We look terrible.

Easily. People will think the cricket has started early after seeing the score in this game

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Roosters have storm and south’s after us so they will not take this game lightly at all

A win over us secures them a finals berth. It’d be nice to f**k them over but this has ugly written all over it

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

I agree wth everyone else. This will be a massive carve up. The rorters have been poor in defence this year, by their standards. I'd be surprised if this hasn't been the sole focus for them all week. Without Hastings, our attack looks like an old drunk boatie who's fallen asleep at the tiller. If we get a shot at penalty goal at any stage of the match we have to take it.

Not to mention Ben Cummins is the ref for the second week in a row. That arse clown who reffed the Cowboys game is in the bunker..........

Chooks by 20 to 30

Do the admins come back and update the team lists after they are announced?

I've noticed they are pretty slack about that.

Have Tigers management updated our center of excellence that Benji won a grand final with the Wests Tigers not St George?

Great attention to detail from club management. I wonder how many in senior positions walked past it several times and didn't notice or know that it was wrong before proudly showing it of to the media.

Same. I feel the same way about the reason of the season. Not much to look forward to next year either.

Last week I watched 10 mins and switched off. Enjoyed the rest of the night, woke up next morning in a good mood.

Zero minutes this week and I know I will be feeling a whole lot better.

 

[MasterTiger]

I must be a masochist. I’ll be watching and looking for effort. Before you all jump down my throat let me explain. I’ll be watching closely to determine the players who give a f..k and the ones who don’t. My
attitude is hunger. Hunger to put a dent in in the Roosters top 8 plans. Hunger to win. Hunger to show critics both supporters and others to get stuffed.

That was hard to believe, even for us. I'd like to know just how many people were involved from the start of that to people walking past before the doors opened.

It's an easy mistake to make. He's only been our greatest player. To think someone employed by the club didn't know he was a Tiger in 2005. Faarrkkk me.

No attention to detail.
No care factor.
No no one even stopped to read it.
No wonder the club's f**ked
