Round 8 v Tigers

[Old Timer]

Hopefully Moose has a big game and gives it to Luc and Joey has another brain snap.

Tariq needs to be on top of Brooks and give him nightmares.

I hope Max goes better than last time. Looks like a pretty good side on paper. Hopefully Hunt picks up exactly from where he left off.
This should have been the experiment game instead of last week. I would have went with a 4 forward bench and spread their minutes.

I thought he looked great last year, he will be fine. He wont add Rava levels of ball return but he can hit hard himself and can find the line so I don't think we lose much.

Chris Sutton is the ref.
That's great.

I see our best mate Steve Chiddy is the video ref. FMD!!

Can someone buy these muppets some chocolates and flowers before the game, maybe?
They seem to cane us everytime we get them.

You know, players like Max play even better with better players around them so dont take Gospel of his ressies form. That has come from watching league for 64 years and hope !

As long as it's not that idiot Ashley Klein- last Sunday, defences were offside constantly, and he didn't blow a 6 again until 26 minutes had elapsed. He then stopped a play the ball for no reason at all, ran away and came back and said - ok continue.

Come on. The reality is far beyond referees decisions. Good sides perform beyond the penalty count and it always , always even itself out.

who's cheerios did Poasa piss in? Missing his brutality off the bench

He was pretty soft in one try against the warriors on our line

I don't think there will be much change to the 17 selected. I'm sure Griffin likes bring his young backs through on the wing and so this is Max Feagai's chance to show his stuff.

I like the Bird / Hunt halves combination but this will block the development of Sullivan. If Max does well I think we will see Max Feagai to 3 when Ravalawa returns and Bird to 12 and Sullivan at 6. Norman should dropped to reserve grade had hopefully, a desperate team will pick him up for the rest of the season.

Some of our squad with contracts ending in 2021 will be offered an extension with a pay cut. Some will go elsewhere and others will play reserve grade.

This game against the Tigers will be a tough one - we want to win of course but so do the Tigers and the with all of the media attention on Maguire and the players, they will be intent to stop their losing trend. Even the players have got together "Earlier today, around a dozen Tigers players reportedly met at a pub for an afternoon of soul-searching after notching their sixth loss, a dismal 40-6 showing to Manly, from seven games this season."

I have no doubt they will turn up .... Let's hope we turn up more .....

Thia game could come down to as simple as who scores (try) first.

They score and their spirits will lift.
We score and their spirits may just capitulate.

Reasonable point. But Tigers scored first and look what happened to them over the weekend.

Message for The Coach.....can you take Mr Kerr aside and tell him that before to much longer he is going to get pinged for not playing the ball correctly....he has this nasty habit of just rolling the ball back under his foot.....I hope it doesnt cost us the game in a tight one one day

 

[Crush]

They are sticking with BJ and Jimmy the Jet as their centres?
Our game plan has to be to get the ball in Lomax and Birds hands. Those two Tigers centres are lazy AF!

I was impressed with Billy Burns on Sunday.

I'm feeling a little uneasy about this one Tigpies always seem to fire up against us, plus they are under all sorts of pressure at the moment could very well come out all guns blazing.

What impressed you?

I was disappointed but forgiving as it was his first hitout with our NRL side.

He certainly has plenty of friends there as a lot of forwards are doing it... another supposed crack down now glossed over.

His energy and work around the ball supporting
others. Showed a bit of mongrel in attack and defence. Yes he missed a couple of tackles and made errors but did not look out of place to me.
