nah we have badger which is still bad

She can't be as bad as him. Surely?

 

[King Gus]

As long as she doesn’t go to video ref, we might have a chance.

hopefully not but I guess we'll see on Saturday arvo

Just went to the tigers forum again, they're massively underestimating us, calling us shit across the park except for our left edge.

lol

So they really think Crichton is shit

Bench looking light- don’t know about Taafe and Hayward. Suluka Fifita is due back next month. Hopefully his recovery is on track. Another big body we can add to the pack

Hopoi & Todd will be available before that. They will both get a run before Fifita I think.
The bench is too light for mine.

I think CC saw the game against the Knights as a success playing light and mobile. I just hope he also took note of how ordinary the Knights played.

 

[Harry Oz]

Maybe Hughes and Preston start, if Preston is fit?
Curran and Salmon to the bench.
Although given it's Wests, Ciraldo might be tempted to keep Hayward and Taaffe on the bench and drop Salmon to 19?
It's interesting to see the Ciraldo 'style' and game plan starting to take shape.
Maybe less big boppers on the bench is a way forward?

 

[Novdoggie]

Tigers have bought in Jake Simpkin who is a hooker. My prediction is that Api is out or definitely not 100% and tigers need Jake in case Api doesn't last.

How come Todd is playing lock in reserves

They think crichton is on the left and claim they watch all the games and just not highlights

For a fun read go read their forum and the muppetry they post

 

[dawso047]

I can't believe that people on here want Salmon ahead of Morrin? Also Taffe needs to spend time playing 7 IN NSW CUP. Hope Preston (way better than Salmon) and Faamasuali (a prop with size) play.

 

[The DoggFather]

Preston will come in for Hayward I'm guessing...

 

[chemdog]

needs clearance first from medical staff to play, think we can still win without him though

Ciraldo has them confused
1. Connor Tracey
2. Jacob Kiraz
3. Bronson Xerri
4. Stephen Crichton
5. Josh Addo-Carr

Nice tactic.

Always a Bulldog

 

[NPC83]

I reckon Preston starts if named.
Ciro keeping options open and not giving the Benji brains trust all the answers. Hayward might step back temporarily but like Xerri his turn will come again.
Great to have depth/options.

Yeah mate I said as much above. I think Salmon to bench for Hayward if Presto comes into the starting side.

 

[Eesma]

People on the Tigpies forum are ALSO saying, "It's Badger, expect a horrible loss." :P

 

[speedy2460]

I dont like Curran as a prop. He is a great 13.

Must’ve missed that - it’s the quick and the dead .

 

[Raikkonen]

Yes, but we are short on props

 

[diddly]

No BBO any grade??

 

[Old Man JB]

She's actually a pretty good ref and I think men are a little reluctant to argue ang get in her face which is a good thing.
