Season 2023

[Vic Mackey]

With the dogs winning today, they have jumped ahead of us, both them and the cows are 2 pts ahead, but there F/A is terrible, so was ours till last night, but the dragons have replaced us on the bottom, but only just, so a small win this weekend.

dogs and titans are both garbage, how the hell did we lose to them both?!?

By playing really, really badly the way we have for most of the season.

Bugger, the last thing we needed

Good thing we have a bye. I doubt he will play our game against Canberra but it would be a good chance to see how Simpkins/Ru'a combo goes

Don’t we need 30 signed players by end of August or some month.

It's a good thing imo. Not only is Api better than Cook and deserves the spot on merit, but it shows other players that your rep career is not dead if you come to the Tigers.

With the drags getting whooped last night, they are officially 2pts last, we are officially 3rd last and hopefully climbing off the floor. Yeah baby.

We are still two wins behind the dogs, parra and cows. So technically we are still 16th when you consider bye points.

Yeah, but it just feels good to see us off the bottom atm.

 

[gordsy]

And I thought some of the teams we've picked have been bad, that origin team is shit.

 

[Das Hassler]

Still 24 or 26 points to be had and there doesn't look like they'll be a runaway top 8....after the last round I bet they'll be 2 or 3 teams on equal points and 8th will be decided on PD.....this long range attacking style and hopefully a few more blowouts our way may end up being worth those 2 or 3 spots on the ladder when it matters

* I predicted that after SOO we'd be a realistic mathematical chance of making it...i still hold that thought / prayer

Yeah, we are only 3 wins away from the warriors and the raiders atm, and we play the raiders next week, so it becomes a huge game and a good indicator of our chances, if we can go on a run?

and After that who would even venture to imagine..hell let’s deal with the raiders first. I can’t wait..

One imagine at a time....

Yes and no , if you win the week they have the bye you move further ahead of them due to +\-

 

[Tiger Ted]

and After that who would even venture to imagine..he’ll let’s deal with the raiders first. I can’t wait..

If we beat one of the most in form teams in a game in which we will get a proper gauge as to how much we have realistically evolved this season then i will begin to believe we can qualify for the 8 this season

 

[WA Tiger]

Raiders looked very strong tonight
