Ive highlighted all the players i think who have the advantage over their opposite number...Ive pretty much based this on what i percieve as which player has the best form,reputation, and achievements/experience

I think the tigers should win

Luke Burt over Moltzen any day of the week IMO. His heart, composure, vision, experience and consistency puts him above Moltzen's occasional blinder. Moltzen is a rookie in most areas compared to Burt.

The #4 for Parra should be Ben Smith too. TBH I'd rate Brown a better centre then B Smith who is more a 2nd rower.

Sorry mate "BEN" …got confused with the other smith who parra believed was the next sterling until he washed up and can't crack a spot in first grade with sharkies

With the exception of our halves, on paper, I completely disagree with your backline on who the better players are.

We may have beat Manly recently but Parra gave Manly a real run for their money. We shouldn't sit back and think they're easy beats

Mate in those words i'd have to agree with you on burt when i think about it…my orange eyes tend to make it hard for me to colour the right things sometimes.

I dont know about brown>smith though...smith is more a backrower but that doesnt make him a worse centre...lets face it brown is a great player for depth but i couldnt name too many places that would give him a starting spot

Parra have competed for most of the season so no we shouldnt take them lightly…what i'm saying is that if both teams turn up and compete based on out team we should beat theirs.

On our day we are better then parra on their day.

Parra at their best is just not as good at the tigers at their best

if every match was won on paper there wouldn't be one upset all yr
unfortunatley, despite maybe being able to predict games on paper once upon a time, in this day in age it means nothing

I really don't know how this one will go. Parra is definitely a bogey side for us, but if we can put it all together on Sunday we could thrash them.

Parra is definitely our bogey side. With the exception of being destroyed by the Bunnies who have been on fire, the eels have been extremely competitive in most of the their matches. They should of beaten Manly last week had it not been for a few simple mistakes on their goal line.

Eels always lift against us no matter how bad they are playing. Don't read too much into the line up comparison (which looks good as a Tiger supporter), because it will come down to which team has the most desire to win on the day and execute their pre-game strategy the best.

Interestingly, since the last time we lost to Parra, we have won our next 5 games and they lost their next 5 games. But like I said, it counts for nothing if they turn up with more desire to win this game!

As GNR4LIFE said , the game is not won on paper.
Lets be realistic here ,if we cannot beat Parra in both our current forms we are probably kidding ourselves .
Wests all the way .

A team of journeymen. If you look at it from that perspective, we should beat them by a lot.

Should've would've could've…...its on the day...but yes on paper we are much better.
