The next 6 games will define our season, if we can win most of them, we are a realistic chance of playing finals, if we don't, we aren't. It's as simple as that imo

I prefer not to be too bullish about today but we should chalk up a win.
Next 5 after that are Penrith, Raiders, Dragons then Knights again away and the Slimys in rd 14.
Obviously Penrith will be very hard but we are good enough to win the majority of those other games with even luck and a clear as possible run with injuries(which are starting to bite a few teams in the arse now).

No Tracey has spooked me big time

No Tracey has spooked me but time

Was worried about your spooked butt, but see you have now got a big one

I'd love to push Hayward to 18th man and bring in Poasa.

Why?

King Hughes Curran can handle the duties up front. What’s the point of a 15min player that might take a hit up or two?

Hayward can tackle cover multiple positions.

My heart and head says we should win, but I'm still worried we won't.

Cos we've got Taaffe the liability at the back so we need the extra grunt up front if we're going to have such weak kick returns.

Attitude wins this game for me, plain and simple. Without Api they ain’t gonna throw much at us. If we continue with our defensive efforts we will shut them out.

We'll know late this arvo BW if we can safely put away 9 years of not fullly trusting the team to get the job done when the opportunity is there to be grasped with both hands, and advance up the ladder.

Every aspect of the club is different now and heart overrules and says we can

Our NSW Cup is pretty strong on paper. Hopefully Declan Casey has a shocker.

May the 4th be with our blokes today ;..

 

[Cook]

I just can’t see how tigers get any points today. No Api, I’ll be pissed if they score more than ten points. Good test from Ciro to have the team motivated as heavy favourites. Different mindset coming into this one, first time in years we been so heavily backed

His last game at fB when he got hurt he was flying..

Yh because he literally didn't have to work it off our line or defuse a kick the whole time he was on lol.

[jof]

It's Big Macs birthday today. Be nice if he could get a try, he's played over 50 games for us without one.

 

[dogon]

Wilson might only play till halftime & then be 18th man in NRL??

 

[Cujo]

I'm old enough to remember watching Baa taking out The Black Pearl in the '88 Grand Final.

What a glorious day!

Yeah me too!
My best mate at the time was a Tigs fan …. Truely a fantastic day!!
