[super_coach]

Gone for the other mob the last two weeks so Iam not going to change now, seems to help get us over the line

 

[Clifferd]

If we take care of the Broncs I will literally cream

That’ll be 3 straight against the 3 most hated clubs in the nrl

 

[Vic Mackey]

If this doesn't get 17/18k I'll be really disappointed

You'd have to think we're a massive chance but we're going to have to start scoring points. 1 try won't continue to win games.

Interesting to see what Ivan does with the team and I assume Tui will be fit. There's word going round that ET is in doubt with a hamstring flare up.

Brooks has defended well but he's got Gillett running at him this week who's just about the best edge runner in the game.

I'll tip us but think it will go down to the wire again

No souffs? Hahaa

Obviously I want to beat the ponies but I'd prefer a win over the Eels the following week if I had to choose

Thanks so much mate!!!

I have seen through your facade all along!

All for show you are!!

 

[Das Hassler]

There'll be more Lodge / Bennet media flak this week so they may come down a little unsettled...Boyd is doing it tough as well ...Benji's bombs will be a nightmare for him if he's still not moving freely

 

[Tigerm]

Us by 1, Brooks kicks the winning FG and Naiqama MOM

 

[Vozzy]

Same team same defence hopefully they are as strong defensively out wide as roosters and storm another 10-8 with us scoring 2 tries lol.

f**k I forgot about souffs existence. Much like their existence in 2000-2002

It’s simple.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Go get em giant killers

 

[Tiger05]

Another tough game. We will be underdogs and it's to pick us. I just want to see the same effort that we've had so far and hopefully we jag another win.

 

[Clifferd]

On a serious note I think ET is expected to miss this game

In the past this would have been a disaster, but now you could probably slot Einsenhuth there and bring on either Grant/Felise/Sue onto the bench. Tui expected back

Reynolds/Liddle will be fit for round 4

Agree mate. Whilst ET is great I think starting Eiso and having another big body on the bench won’t hurt. Maybe even bring in MCK and have Aloiai play more in the middle.

Would then be awesome in round 4 to have:

9. Liddle
14. Reynolds

 

[simmo1]

Surely we can't do it again. Surely the old Wests Tigers who can't tackle will reappear.

ET tackles anything that moves. He could be a loss if he is out. I say could because we have depth now.

 

[Clifferd]

Eiso might not have the same defensive work rate but he will certainly more than double the runs that Taylor makes

A very handy replacement

 

[super_coach]

In the past if a player like ET pulled out, well you would hold off making a bet, now we probably have three or four players to choose from who will not let you down. In saying that ET has been so good this year ands he is the bloke who is setting the line speed for others to follow

 

[Clifferd]

My team with the expected outs and ins

1. Lolohea
2. Nofoluama
3. Marsters
4. Naiqama
5. Thompson
6. Marshall
7. Brooks
8. Packer
9. Godinet
10. Matulino
11. Lawrence
12. Rochow
13. Einsenhuth

14. Mcillwrick
15. Sue
16. Aloiai
17. Twal

I wouldn’t be surprised to see MCK on the bench though
