Im not convinced

[AmericanHistoryX]

Are you? Feeling confident playing this week at home?

But hey it's a good start.

Knights are flying...playing very well
Four from five...could be another close one...no games are.easy
Their bench hooker is very sharp.when he.comes on

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

very confident
our forwards will monster the knights pack
the canberra pack scares me in a few weeks

Not entirely but two big positives stick out:

1. We've comfortably won the yardage and field position battle in each match. Over the long-term, this produces winning football. Obviously game to game variance you might win or lose based on fluky plays and the bounce of the ball, but if you get good ball in good spot, you'll win more often than not.

2. We've overcome two-score deficits in hostile conditions over the past two weeks. Tigers of the past decade would fold more often that not in these situations, but instead we knuckled down and came back.

We've also done this missing some of our most important attacking players. Makasini and Turuva will upgrade the wings and To'a and May will upgrade the centres. There's still upside with our team.

Not that it rarely comes to fruition this type.of.logic...but the knights pack walked.all over the raiders the other day
We'll monster the knights but canberras pigs worry you

The Canberra pack scares you? We got this one in the bag? Newcastle is 3rd - Camberra 2nd last. Okay. I'm listening.

B Best out which is a plus, but the two Fletchers are something special. They are full of confidence atm. Too hard to call

Great post. Just you missing point 3.
The part in-between the ears. Who wants it more. Great post. Lukic

Thanks Ink. For keeping it real.

I never feel confident hey, just always hopeful!

Any team can beat any other team in this comp if they produce near their best & the opposition is a off mentally. Look at Manly flogging the Dolphins.

No Ponga, Brown, Best.. if there ever was a time to play the Knights it would be this week. Marzhew worries me. I think it will be another close one. Not as confident this week as I was against Parra.

Canberra pack is big and has mongrel
Newcastle pack does not worry me at all, Newcastle shouldn't be as high up the ladder as they are

we lost to souths dont think they are particularly good either

Many would say- we shouldn't be this high on the ladder Also.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

we should be $1.50 against the knights

our forwards are great, we are not fluking this.
I believe newcaslte are fluking this.
no best will hurt the attack

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Knights will be hit with the M1 jetlag nothing to worry about

 

[Wallyfunk1]

We have to overcome the 3 in a row curse we have , so I’m not that confident

 

[upthetigers]

I would be lining up Skelton against Dom Young who is suspect in defence.

 

[supercoach]

Newcastle are very similar to us at the moment. By that I mean, everyone in the 17 are contributing and they are playing with a lot of energy. Fletcher Sharp is the danger man, but really I think we match up with them and the hometown advantage should be enough to get the bacon. Of course these matches are often decided by the officals and that you have no control over

Sharpe is a weapon, but he’s playing injured. Our starts need to be better, Can’t keep giving teams 10-12 point starts.
