Rothfield tips cronulla to come 3rd, good ol' Bec has no idea, so I am more confident knowing they don't give us a chance.

I would never have guessed phil rothfield would've chosen the Tigers for the spoon
:roll

Rothfield is such a tool

Who cares what the Smellecrap prints

OMG OMG OMG…

 

[Tiger_Watto]

WHAT!!! When did this happen???

Slothfield is a fool & his merry peanuts he surrounds himself with are just as bad as Sam Ayoub.

They think they own RL!

 

[GNR4LIFE]

There's a reason why outside our little bubble we're not rated. Talk about melodramatics.

 

[TIGER]

I agree with them, i also hope im wrong but im realistic about our chances.

 

[LCA]

Don't buy or read the crap. It makes life much less stressful.

 

[Wagga_Tiger]

Meh who cares what they think. I'm quietly confident we will have a better 2016\. Injuries will be the key and not just for us.

We beat the Titans

We beat the Titans
We beat the Titans
We beat the Titans
We beat the Titans
We beat the Titans

I think its fair. We came second last in 2015 and only missed the wooden spoon because of for and against. The team needs to change the way people think about the Tigers by putting in each week and jagging a win or two. We all love the Tigers and to be honest we think the Tigers are better than they probably are. Lets just hope at the end of the year we are on the Most Improved list.

That…or we could just not care what the Daily Telegraph's pisspot pod of pelicans thinks about us

Anyone who didn't pick the Knights, Tigers or Titans based on paper and form last year would need their heads read.

That's the reality CB

The lower the predictions, the better we tend to do. Where did they have us finishing in 2005?

And Telegraph WANTS this type of reaction from Tigers fans, better to just ignore them.

05 was exactly the same. Who cares what the Telegraph or any commentators say. Let's just see how we go.

They write, the don't play.
Like to see how they perform, if the situations were reversed.
They are entitled to their opinions.
Opinions are like bums, :unamused: everyone has them, the telegraph just seems to attract the bigger ones. :smiley:

That's a ridiculous argument. In this line of work you are open to criticism.
