Now on paper ….. we should be able to beat that team.

 

[westTAHger]

will be interesting,
wests tigers tend to clock off after 60 min
the knights last week after 40 min.

Now on paper ….. we should be able to beat that team.

Trouble is that team are all playing for each other, and playing for pride.

and it's in Newcastle - mark my words they will get a MASSIVE crowd there because they will genuinely believe that they can win that game.

I hope we go up there and destroy them 66-0 - but I simply cannot see it happening.

 

[innsaneink]

Yeh with a 1-6-7-9 like that we should really get the bikkies.
We saw last week they struggle to put 80 together as well… If we play smart... Minimal errors... Kick and tackle well...............................................

 

[andrew 474]

We can get the 2 points , just need to start well and play 80

 

[Club_Sandwich]

Jeez we better win….

 

[Milky]

Is it just me or do they have a good side on paper?

They are looking very good for next year

A few players off a really competitive team. Need to beef up that bench and buy an experienced half. Overall, if we don't pick up our game we will be receiving more than just one spoon this year.

 

[stryker]

I predict a back and forth, exciting and high scoring first 40.
Then they will go to the break, both clock off and due to all the stoppages, the second half will take an hour to finish. Hope we are ahead at half time …

They've reportedly already signed Tautau Moga who will take one of the centre spots and Herman Ese'ese who will take a bench prop spot (at least). They still need a prop leader and they need a quality half to go alongside Lamb. Watson is too similar to Lamb which is probably why they aren't going all in on him (if reports are correct). They could do worse than Benji for 12 months on his current form as a halfback. They should raid ESL for a starting prop.

I honestly think they are building really well. It'd be great to see the Knights and us turn it around.

 

[tiger_scott]

I'll be at the game - I live in Newcastle. Hoping my son son can finally see a "live" Tiger's victory - the two previous years were losses :frowning:

A group of us, mainly Tiger's fans, but a couple of Newcastle supporters, have bought seats together in the first row. At the very least I'm hoping for a couple of Tedesco linebreaks leading to tries. Still gutted that he's leaving

 

[851]

Lamb dropped, Hodkinson in, don't know if that is a good thing or not

 

[innsaneink]

Still 40 missed tackle but completed at 85%…Knights really are crap
Theyve been better than they showed yesterday....but weve been a lot worse than yesterday too...funny game RL
