Man I hope so…
1st hit up by souths needs 3 tigers to belt the crap out of him and then rough him up as well. I am thinking Ellis, Woods and Blair.
No doubt Croker will run in, when he does, someone with a bit of talent needs to drop him. I'm not talking grabbing the jumper front and throwin rights....I'm talking using both fists and closing a few eyes over. An all in brawl will hopefully ensue and the Tiges will find that mateship goes a long way towards igniting the passion that is missing.
Souths will fight back so i am not concerned with possible sin binnings as they will cop it as well.
Our forwards are copping a lot of crap from everywhere. They need to stand side by side and fight for their respect. Making 45 tackles around the waist is not intimidating. Use your shoulders and hurt them. Get the smack talk going. Bring their loved ones into it. Act like a bunch of world class a-holes.
If the forwards can get over them, Benji and co will pile on the points....but the softening up period will be vital first.
