U know skeleton hasn’t done anything wrong I think he is a very solid player , young mak is going to be good but he needs to earn his spot , maybe toa is the one to miss out

Toa when fit is dangerous in attack
Makasini on wing can be just as strong as Skelton
blood big Mak on the wing then if Toa is not going great defensively can always move Makasini to centre and bring skelton back in on wing.
Skelton is still unsigned for 2027 is that right ?

I'd be surprised if any of them played 60

The way Benji was talking they're still in full pre season mode, still getting flogged. Still 3+ weeks until round 2

Normally someone does but I’m expecting them off at halftime for majority.

That's exactly what I want to see this season, Tigers standing over their opponents.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

if we can stay with penrith in first half, our reserves are better than penriths we can get the job done
tigers $3.30 in to $3.20
Penrith out from $1.20 to $1.36
betting market at 113%
I think by kickoff tigers probably start at $3.10

Anyone betting on a trial doesn’t like their money or their sanity . The score could be 26-8 , 15 minutes to go , the team rests its starters , the other team sort of does , and now it’s they end up losing the game . Thats pretty much modus operende for trial matches . Screw that.

I cleaned up on the Cowboys giving away 23 1/2 to the reserve grade Panthers last week.

Might have already been mentioned, but is Zakauri Clarke an Ex-Tiger?

We win tonight because they haven't got their lethal Energiser Bunny in Martin.

Off to stock up on some organic Cooper's Pale Ale for the pre-game warm-up. Then I'll settle in for a slab of Match Day GatorAle also from Cooper's. Well, it's actually home brewski from Coopers. Up the Tigers! 🐯🐯🐯 🤪🤪🤪🍻🍻🍻

I think we win tonight which will be good for the morale heading into the 2026 season.

Just tried myself, there is a spot just before u press find tickets. But it looks like that deal expired, probably today as they often do on game day. Don’t get it, don’t they want more people there??

Blows my mind that they actually decided to run a limited time offer on tickets for a trial game. Just make it $20 whether its Monday or Friday 6pm.

 

[innsaneink]

I was thinking earlier ticket sales may have been slow this week thus the $20 deal...

Its still advertised on Insta
