Having a look at the draw it is interesting to note that the tigers by the end of round 16 will have only had 6 home games. This means they run home with 6/9 at home. A very similar scenario to what happened in 2005 when the tigers had a heap of away games early and ran home with a stack of home games.
What it also means is that Marshall is missing games away from home (games the side has less chance of winning obviously) and will be back for that run in. The tigers are the real danger for Melbourne and as last year showed, Manly's 6 pocket theory applied to football can only take them so far.
I would go so far as to say this tigers side is more adaptable than the 05 side and probably has a Plan B and C to turn to whereas the 05 side only knew one way. The defence is also much more solid now
