Thats possibly the best bench we've ever had lol

And with Minichiello playing at five-eighth we'll have the upper hand there.

Just keep the pressure on Pearce's kicking game, they have no else reliable enough to kick.

We could ultimately ensure we stay on the front foot from the outset, which will give our forwards a huge boost and tonnes of space for our halves

 

[TrigaTheTiger]

Pity O'Meley snt playing - would have liked to have seen Robbie call him a "fat has-been" again!!

 

[madunit]

He can say it to Cat Mason this time.

 

[DanOz]

Laurie will leave the Tigers for sure since Sheens won't pick him. I would have loved to have seen Laurie v Mason.

Laurie will leave the Tigers for sure since Sheens won't pick him. I would have loved to have seen Laurie v Mason.

I honestly get the feeling that Sheens has big plans for Daine Laurie, he has mentioned that he wants to use him as a wide running backrower. However "if" Laurie has behavioural issues our Mr Sheens is not going to cop that. It is totally up to Laurie.

 

[madunit]

Laurie should play in the back row, he'd be wasted like Bronson if thrown into the front row.

 

[DanOz]

I don't care what number you throw on his back, just let the man play. He would have smashed Mason so hard and so often that Willie would have signed with Japanese Rugby within a week of the games end.

 

[Reek_Havoc]

Willie and his forward buddies better be on their toes, cos I have a feeling that the little galloping ant will run amok around the middle of the ruck, inside balls from the trio, Moltz, Benji and Farah....

Laurie will leave the Tigers for sure since Sheens won't pick him. I would have loved to have seen Laurie v Mason.

yeah put him in his place on his A

Should win easily.. Please win easily, I don't want to have a heart attack again this weekend.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

I hope we pummel both the Roosters and Sharks for F/A and then win a few matches after that in a gritty fashion.

Also, I agree with Unit, that is the gunnest bench.

Morris is a good utility, Heighno is class 2nd row workhorse and Gallaz and Skando are great props.

 

[DanOz]

Would be great to beat them both by 100, but I'll take a win by 1 point as long as they win...

(I'll just make sure I do my deep breathing exercises and take my blood pressure medication)

Who's gunna be left out?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Collis. Ayshford doesn't deserve to be dropped and Collis is off next year anyway.

 

[philgood]

Ellis vs Mason Rd 2. Ellis leads 1-0

 

[nomarg]

LOL... Ellis was all over him all night....

Ellis has to be the Buy of the year....

 

[macnaz]

Collis on the wing would have been nice.

 

[madunit]

yeah I'm with you Mac, I'd like to see Collis replace Ryan

 

[Reek_Havoc]

I'd leave Ryan on the wing. He had a decent game last Monday. Collis has nothing to play for.
