[Mr Invisible]

Difference from last game is we've lost key players from that win. They've gained key players back they had missing from the last game.

Can't say I'm confident in a win here at all. We are down on troops and they have a decent side on paper.

We just have to hope our second rowers aim straight for Brooks / Moses to expose their poor defence, and create space for our outside backs.

This isn't a game we can win by carting it up the middle of the field (one man out) with our forwards.

LOL well I noticed it wasn't up so thought "ok fine I'll do it" :P

This. We need to monster their halves into errors and not give them space. Make them tackle their butts off

lets hope hodko is on the mark tonight, he missed 4 times last week.

 

[Izzy Forreal]

Both of these Tigers and Bulldogs lineups are pretty good sides with strong defence and attack. If Hodkinson and Reynolds play as they did against Manly I think we will finish on top. Strange as it may seem I think Robbie Farah could do the Bulldogs a favour or two; as the captain he can make the wrong calls under pressure.

 

[S4Sonny]

Hope it doesn't go into extra time like last time beacuse Pat Richards can pretty much nail them from anywhere

14-6

 

[Wolfmother]

I like the roster.. we will win by heaps

 

[Raysie]

I think tonight will be similar to the last time these 2 sides played. High scoring.

 

[Snowmann]

Not confident but 17-16 dogs.

I cant believe people how confident they are of winning tonights game. I wish I was that confident. We actually haven't put an 80 min performance all year.
