RD7 V Tigers ANZ Stadium

[Chipmunk]

We're sitting above the 50% win ratio, we can afford a loss if a weaker team springs and upset.

I didn't expect us to win last week, and it was great. I'd factored in a win against either Wests or Cowboys - it would suck now to lose both. In the following weeks against Sharks and Saints, again we should win one of those matches and maintain our 50% ratio - if we can score an extra win or two above that 50%, we'll be laughing. But if we only get one win out of the next four, it's not a waste... it's a long season and we're travelling well so far.

I think we should aim high from where were at and have a goal of being 7 from 10. As you say, it's a long season so the more wins you can get early in the season the better off you will be in the back half of the season when injuries may come along.

Make hay whilst the sun shines as they say.

They're both gay?

Yea but they get different head explosions now

 

[Maroubra Eel]

If we win this we can move up to 3rd or 4th on the ladder.

If we lose I think we will still be in the 8.

Actually in recent years we haven't fared so well against the Tigers.
They were our whipping boys for the first 9 years of their existence (13 wins, 1 draw in 18 games) but since 2008 we have only won 3 times in 10 games.

We did win the last one though.

Wow, I didn't realise that. We'll still flog them, though. They are depleted and we are a completely different outfit now.

They're both gay?

Only one of them. It just takes one who is gay and one who isn't very assertive.

Like Bob Cooper and Dr George Peponis back in the day hey? That facial hair was the give away.

Anyway, go the Eels.

It's only gay if you make eye contact

meh,

We don't play them again this year, unless its the semis, we will get the chance to play them at full strength then

Lets get the win first here, If we dominate and get a roll on, think about for/against as that could be crucial seasons end

 

[oldmancraigy]

Tigers won't make the semis, so this is our only game against them this year.

 

[Jake the snake]

At this time of year we need to win no matter who's at full strength or not. Tigers game won't be easy.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

It would be a whole lot easier if it was at Pirtek. But I understand money is a bit more important than 2 points.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Two points doesn't pay the bills, just aks Newtown.

Oh that's right you can't, because they're in f**ken reserve grade. Aks the Bears instead then.

What about the money and exposure the club misses out on by missing the finals. Is that not important?

 

[Maroubra Eel]

Don't worry we will get both today.

 

[Joely01]

Game day, I am getting pumped for this one.
Bring it on!
