I have only seen most of the 2nd half at this stage, I have the tape off Evo and hope to watch it tonight. I presume they played well from the reports people have given. The Tigers display vs Cronulla was outstanding. The only one that might have beaten them yesterday was possibly a red hot St George. The footy the Tigers produced yesterday was twice as good as I have seen from the Raiders this year, absolutely blitzing.
Tigers were good woodgers, but the Sharks were friggin woeful. A terrible completion rate with no direction in attack anyway, only 1 line break (against the Tigers defence which has been suspect all year), and the only player who looked like he was remotely interested was Jason Stevens.
Not to mention that it took 60 minutes of the game before the Tigers could finally put them away.
Now to the game on the weekend.....
Four of the five Tigers straight wins were against Manly, Roosters, Rabbits and Sharks - arguably four of the worst teams in the competition in the last month (being a bit tough on the bunnies!). This weekend will be a real test and I believe we have the game to frustrate their flowing attack, and we will be desperate to turn our good form into points.
The Tigpies are riding a wave of confidence, but methinks they may have peaked too soon. The Raiders, on the other hand, have produced good performances without winning, and if we can snag a victory on Sunday, our own self-belief will be boosted and anything could happen.
