[Tigerm]

Another game, where we're getting the opposition in bad state.
Love it.

 

[Marshall_magic]

Never beaten this lot at Campbelltown? That needs to change.

 

[The Charlatan]

I'm optimistic, however Madge will be out for blood.

Walsh being out is a big one for us.

I just hope Madden takes the field.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Imagine someone telling you in the pre season that we'd be $1.55 favourites in this game?!?

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

I remember spanking them once a few years ago (maybe Covid year ?) unless that was Leichhardt

I don’t think this current forward pack will be complacent but heavy favouritism will always make me nervous

Ah yep, straight over the top of my head lol

 

[Tigerm]

Wests Tigers star set to return from injury for blockbuster Campbelltown clash

How will the spine look for the Tigers with Jock Madden’s great run of form?

[Tigerm]

Just hearing how bad the injury and suspension toll is at the Bronc's.

Already making excuses.

Tough titties, I hope we put 50 on them.

NO MERCY.

 

[Tigerm]

Records are made to be broken.

 

[Tigerm]

Suck shit ponies.

 

[WA Tiger]

Today’s almost like game day

 

[AKA Das Hassler]

I hope the forwards have a double serve of wheeties for breakfast...expect SupaHaas to turn up...Madge will put it on him to carry them home

Hopefully Terrell puts one on him.

Hopefully the merkin chucks a Prince and plays in a dinner suit to see the year out.

 

[The Charlatan]

Weird that we've only played Brisbane once for the last five seasons, thought we'd have drawn them twice in a year at least one in the last five seasons.

Good chance(?) we'll meet them again in September....one heavyweight clash that has fallen nicely for us is we have Penrith in the last round...even if they dont have the minor Prem wrapped up they'll be resting their bigger guns as per Ivan's usual M.O.

We might be resting ours as well
