Tigers should be up 36-0

Tigers should be up 36-0

Yeah and now it has got the feel of a Raiders comeback after Ricky blasts them at half time

 

[Blair]

30-2 but now 30-8. The Tigers ate still way ahead but are they nervous? They're the Tigers after all.

 

[Blair]

Come on Tigers!!

Guess who looks like the worst team in the comp now?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Tigers should get 60 at this rate. So Canberra?

I still think the Tigpies, but us and the Raiders have entered the conversation

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Lol, never mind, they get a man binned and Canberra run in 3 tries- the total score in this game has now equallled the Titans score yesterday and there’s 11 min to go

42-24, I expect Benji is developing a twitch

No one has faith in the Tigers to hold on!

...but Rapana pushes the pass and Doueihi does the rest, end-to-end. Great comeback game. 48-24, Tigers. It's about over...and that's it.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

48-24. 5 minutes for the Tigers to get 50. Have the bottom two teams ever scored 50 on the same round? Surely not

(never mind, Parra are now dead last)

Not sure what to make of this one, competition this year is really weird apart from the top few teams

it’s batshit. Our form all year has honestly been about par for the entire comp.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

So teams 16 and 17 piled on 114 points this weekend, what a comp

 

[nswarrior]

Great to see a Tigers win after our shit performance

6 points separating 6th from 17th. Every team is still well and truly in finals contention in a mathematical sense. And form seems to turn week to week as well so I don’t think you can really rule anybody completely out. That said, I only really give the top 4 a realistic chance of winning the premiership.

 

[Penrose Warrior]

This season has been great in terms of all teams having the ability to beat each other. There are no absolute run-over sides in the comp, and there's really no standout as premiership favourite, either. In my eyes, any of the top 5 plus Brisbane could win it.

 

[Big Marn]

The return of Douehi certainly helps Tigers. Hes class.
I guess everyone should have run to the tote Sunday morning and unloaded on Tigers considering they beat the Titans last week....

Raiders: Round 16

Elliott Whitehead and Ricky Stuart chat to the media after their Round 16 clash against the Wests Tigers

interesting comparing to websters post match conference.

 

[Blair]

Yeah, there's so much going on!

Rd 16 Ladder:

We can't count ourselves out, yet.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

There are 11 rounds to go, and no team is more than 4 wins off making the 8 once you take for and against into account. We’ll be rueing that hiding if we end up tied for 8th with Manly though.

I have mini-panic attacks when other games go to golden-point. I think we only want the one drawn game this year.
