I’d like to see our guys running hard into gaps. The will be gaps open up for our right side around Alomoti who has been a little slow to react.The Bulldogs have a few lesser known forwards who are workers more than anything else, with Kikau and Faitala-mariner giving them some x-factor. Their halfback is much maligned but solid enough. Their outside backs are their strength.
On a hot day the gas tank runs out early if you don’t play smart. The team who completes highest, chases kicks hardest and stays in the arm wrestle longest will be in good stead. It will be obvious in the first few sets which team is more hungry because their line will be moving faster and they will win the ruck. If you give Kikau time and space today it’s curtains.
A guy like Bateman needs to be the Tigers best today, we need him and Koroisau to inspire the younger Tigers team to play tough, uncompromising football. Out of character for us.
It’s hard to see a Tigers win as we traditionally have a soft underbelly but hopefully they are stung by recent criticism. If they are up in the face of Flanagan and co early maybe we shock the Bulldogs if they are a little off.
Tip: Bulldogs 28-10
I like this game plan, but we need to back our defense and our ability to kick to the corners...Kick to the corners, gas out the big men and run a muck later in the game when everyone’s tired.

Just need to do what we should have done last week, straight through the middle working over the ruck, then late in the half's at the ruck get the little guys running inside lines toward the tiring forwards to cut right through them.Kick to the corners, gas out the big men and run a muck later in the game when everyone’s tired.
