5 Jennings,Davis,

Most likely is above
Check MJCs option. Much better. Allows support for King which was his preferred option last week. If BA gives it enough thought this is THE best option. Smith at fullback last weekend and V The Cows last season cost us big time.

Eels by 18...
We have 8 games we can win all 8. Our target should be 6.
6/11 considering our start of season is not a disaster. Will put us in top 8.

Tigers x 2
Manly and panthers home
Sharks and raiders away
Dogs
Warriors in sydney

I like that we're playing Penrith and Manly again and Tigers twice. I think Sharks might get better, Dogs will get beťter, and Warriors might be difficult. Also Raiders could be very tough. I hope you are right, like your optimism. But as it stands right now, we are justifiably in a race with the Titans for the wooden spoon. I'm going to support them every week no matter what, but I'm bracing myself for the worst.

If Hayne and Bevan both out, I would consider moving Hoffman to 1 instead of Smith.

1. Hoffman
2. Gennings
3. Jennings
4. Auvauaaaa
5. Davis/GL
I'll probably come off sounding like hindy111 here but I was going to post the same thing last night. As I posted in the game day thread v the Sharks, Hoff has been about our most impressive outside back so far after 3 rounds He's played plenty of fullback, knows what to do there and I just don't rate Smith there at all to be honest...

I will be interested to see how we go in this one. Three teams with far superior attacks than ours have only managed one try each against the Tigers and we've scored only one try in over 200 mins.

Forwards need to start to win the play the ball and get the job done, otherwise we might as well just give it away now.

Whilst I can’t for the life of my explain how we are favourites with the bookies, I do think we’ll win by 10+.
We are too good a team to not get it together. Last week we got our defence and attitude back to where it needs to be, BA will ensures the boys bring their attacking A game on Monday

We'll be fine. The Tigers haven't won in round four since 2010.

Just like you, the bookies are looking at class, not form.

We might not have our attack together by Monday but we will put in for 80 minutes. And the Tigers' defence isn't anywhere near as good as that of the Sharks, early season assery notwithstanding.

This week is tge Stay Kind Cup in honour of the Kelly Family who lost their two sons. The first following a one punch attack.

..........

Easter Monday – one week from now - is Stay Kind Day and to mark it, NRL teams, Wests Tigers and the Parramatta Eels will play in the Stay Kind cup match, and Ralph and Kathy Kelly are hoping to fill the ANZ stadium in Sydney with spectators.

So are you saying that if the Tigers win in Round 4 in 2018 that we should start to get concerned about our season? Or will you just use it as another excuse and that the Tigers had to win in Round 4 eventually?

No way you blokes get the spoon. The side will put it together. The halves are not clicking and that breaks down the attack. Too good to stay that way.

I have man love for Brownie. What a warrior that bloke is. Wish we had him

Why get concerned? There's nothing we can do to fix things.

Yes true, just do what we’ve done for the last 32 years hey I mean it can’t get worse and it’s nothing we’re not used to.

If we lose this weekend coming and some aren’t concerned then that clearly sums up this clubs mentality.

The Tigpies back 5 have been pretty good and in particular I have been impressed with the enthusiasm shown in attack and defence. I think we need to match that enthusiasm out wide (as well as in the forwards) or they will actually score more than 1 try for a change.
Thought Packer was massive last week, played entire first half by the look of it (if had break was only short) and tackled absolutely everything. Great acquisition by W-T and did we even talk to him?

I rather think the point was that we as fans have zero control over what happens on the field so why get concerned?

It's just a game ffs

He should be in Long Bay so I certainly hope we didn't talk to him
