<big>Tigers Watch - Day 5</big>
10/09/2010 4:07:44 PM
It was D-Day at the Sydney Football Stadium with the Tigers on site for a training session and BBQ lunch.
With security levels not seen since the US President was last in town, the Tigers took to the Stadium for a training session after coach Tim Sheens held a media conference in the forecourt of the Stadium.
With media banned from entering the facility, tensions were high as the media gathered to hear what Sheens had to say, before making their way to the Roosters training session across the road from the SCG.
With the Tri Colours banned from training on the SFS, the players took the change in training venue in their stride.
Before too long, a helicopter was buzzing overhead capturing footage of the Tigers closed session while media witnessed the Roosters session. Reports that Brian Smith were in the chopper were unfounded with the coach turning up at training not long after the chopper arrived.
After the training sessions the players headed to the SFS pool for a recovery session only to bump into the Tigers who has just finished their session.
The air was thick with tension throughout the 5 minute encounter before both groups moved onto their next activity.
A Roosters representative was seen lurking around the cafe while the Tigers ate their lunch, no doubt eaves dropping on conversations for last minute tips.
With the big game on tomorrow, Sydney Roosters Online is sure that the coach will be up all night analysing the vision from the CCTV cameras installed earlier in the week at the Stadium.
Make sure you are at the game tomorrow night to catch the Sydney Roosters playing on OUR home ground, taking on the Wests Tigers.
Kick off is at 6.30pm

Inside the Tigers' top secret session

GROUND control to Mr Sheens, your secret training session at the Sydney Football Stadium has been infiltrated.
Fair play, it did take a helicopter spinning circle work at 500m to crack the SCG Trust's 150 CCTV cameras.
And with due respect, we were a little out of reach for the private security firm you hired to keep prying Rooster eyes out at ground level.
So, without further ado, these are the strictly off-limits photographs and video four-time premiership-winning coach Tim Sheens didn't want anyone else to see.
Seriously, you know September fever is in the air when the Wests Tigers ban all and sundry, players and coaches aside, from their final 60-minute hit-out at the SFS.
Probably the one contingency the 2005 premiers overlooked was The Daily Telegraph sports department shelling out $825 to hire a chopper and hover around overhead for 45 minutes.
Talk about bang for your buck - what a sensational ride. So, what did we see?
For starters, we hit paydirt early when winger Beau Ryan flipped our cameras a double bird after we'd worked the third lap of what was an awesome circuit, complete with a 360-degree view of Centrepoint Tower and the city skyline.
And it looks as though injured forwards Liam Fulton and Bryce Gibbs will be good to go tonight, with the pair making it through the session unhindered.
Leaning slightly to the left out the open passenger window of our $500,000 Robinson 44 helicopter - seatbelt firmly fastened - the Tigers looked slick.
Admittedly, the roar of the engine must have proven a minor distraction during drink breaks, because in the photos we snapped almost all of the Tigers were peering skywards in our direction. But down on the field, once Sheens had the whistle in hand and his lips pursed, it was all business.
Surprise, surprise, captain Robbie Farah was marshalling play short and tight out of dummy-half, with a plethora of options in terms of forwards running under lines and over lines.
Oh look, and there's Benji Marshall at first receiver and halfback Robert Lui stationed on the other side of the ruck.
Marhall now, a sprinkling of razzle dazzle for the outside backs and voila! The Tigers are cooking.
Here's one we prepared earlier, cut from video footage of the other 24 games they've played this season.
Ironically, on the other side of the 20m high SFS prison wall complete with barbed-wire trimming, the Sydney Roosters were training 200m away at Moore Park.
What's that? The Roosters are waving at us, and the rest of the gathered media are trying to guess which television station we are.
OK, so what does all of this finals circus add up to?
Tigers: shutters down, roller door locked, could be slightly uptight in the opening 10 minutes tonight.
Roosters: open sesame, easygoing, yeah man, could come out absolutely firing.
Bondi prop Jason Ryles couldn't help but could see the funny side of the September mind games.
"There was a fair bit of security around this morning, more than usual, and we did get kicked off our own home ground," Ryles said. "But let's face it, we train on that ground every week so Im pretty sure we know our way around."
Meanwhile, the Tigers were quick to jump on Twitter and let the rest of the world know what The Daily Telegraph had seen from the air.
"Preparations finished! Bring on the game," Farah tweeted at 12.56pm.
And at 12.05pm from Lote Tuqiri: "Sydney Footy Stadium is looking a treat. Should be filled with a lot of black, gold and white tomorrow!"

I thought it was pretty funny. Not just the articles, but the number of people who couldn't work out that the whole series was tongue in cheek.
