15 April 2018. That was the day when the Tigers last won their 3rd game on the trot. Just short of 6 years. To put that into perspective it will be 2,183 days as of game day tomorrow. Come on Tigers. Knock this shit on the head and erase it from our collective memories. Get this monkey off our backs.

In all seriousness there's been a fair bit of rain in Brisbane this week with plenty forecast for tomorrow. It will be very wet and the game is likely to be played in a downpour. The kicking game will be absolutely vital, as will our kick returns. Straight play will be paramount as will be completions. I can see us either winning or losing this game by either winning or holding the middle. I think if we can turn the turn the ball inside successfully from time to time, to Bula, this will help us go a long way. Of course, we'll have to stop them doing the same.

The off-load game we've been playing the last 2 weeks is unlikely to work in the conditions we're going to face. Keep it in tight. Protect the ball. Complete our sets, and kick long and find the grass. Chase like bastards in a line and tackle our guts out. Every now and again a fake out wide and change of direction up the guts should see us home.

Of course, that's easier said than done. Fire up lads!!!!!

Relax DOM, I'm going to the game and I won't let the Fins beat us... I'll think of something.

Benji Marshall and Jeremy Marshall-King will become the first brothers to clash as coach/player since Brian Smith and Tony Smith in 1991

If we win on Saturday I’m pretty sure it’s the first three in a row since 2017, we’ve done two games in a row a few times but haven’t managed the third.

Well it's been hissing pick handles up here in Brisbane so I think it's going to be wet weather footy tonight.
The tiges go well in the wet... remember our upset against the Panthers.
However it's going to be tough for me when I go streaking across the pitch with all that water.

The game in the wet against penrith was the only time the pathetic lemon Brooks excelled with his kicking game in a decade

Hopefully we don’t forget to tape the wrists?

The Sheenius’s only master stroke decision of his failed comeback.

Looking at the ladder, on current results, if we win by 6pts or more we will lead the comp. I think only the pennies could overtake us.
This will be our 3rd different halves pairing in our first 4 games.

I'd love it if we flogged ol Bennett's team and led the comp.
I wonder if I should wear a mouth guard to the game tonight, can't be to careful.

I've never heard of drinking Deep Heat or Dencorub before Tm :)
However I did play with a big boppa who put a smear of Vicks VaporRub on his tongue before playing.

Sorry mate, I thought it was a relative of methylated spirits and you were going back to the corroboree days hahaha
