Round 9 vs Sharks

[Lestronge]

I tell you what
I can't get enough on the tigers against sharks, no fear in that game.
The defence from the sharks is terrible.
Even without Api I think it might open up
Sharks $1.95
Tigers $1.85

I think the focal point of the attack will change re. We are initiating off API - quick ball to Romey and AD and they will make decisions . I think the ball will get wider quicker on Sunday as Hope will just play off the deck. But that’s not a bad thing as the sharks have huge issues at 3 and 4 man on both sides . But I still just see the middle rolling down field .
The one issue I can see is API is crucial with line speed especially when we have them pinned . That’s where Hope will need to get his energy up . But we haven’t really seen him since last year , and that offseason was bananas , and he was there on day 1 . So his motor might have got the kick in the arse it needed , as that would have only been his second full preseason of nrl .
I’m with you mate. We maintain the rage , and they won’t go with us . They’re just like the cowboys , a bunch of Cadbury chocolates .

Team list will be interesting. Likely no Bula, KPP or Api.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

still think $2.30 tigers is a good price
also like melbourne at $2.35 to beat dolphins, think dolphins might be banged up a bit with travel

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Bula out for 3-4 weeks (DT).

Wests Tigers woes have gone from bad to worse with star fullback Jahream Bula ruled out for 3-4 weeks due to a shoulder injury.

Bula will join Kai Pearce-Paul on the sidelines this week with the star second-rower out due to a failed HIA.

Captain Api Koroisau is also ruled out for the next three weeks following a suspension for his hip drop on Noah Martin.

Ouch. Let's see what we are made of now. Need to win at least 1 out of the next 3 before the bye.

 

[Tom Shines]

Team list will be interesting. Likely no Bula, KPP or Api.

Heard last night that teams can apply for a special dispensation on the 11 day suspension for failed head injury assessment .. can be downgraded to 10 days which would mean KPP could play …

 

[Tom Shines]

any chance they start blooding Haywood off the bench ?

 

[Tom Shines]

Still looks like a strong side .. questions over Hope.. but maybe he has improved like others have

Pretty interesting that Sukkar jumps Seyfarth and Tavana is on bench instead of Skelton.

Who spells Hope? Sione? Jock? Latu?

I like that Sukkar comes straight in for KPP rather than Seyfarth. It leaves our bench as the same which has been working well, the Sione, Hunt & Seyfarth middle trio.

Yes.. particularly good point .. been hearing some good things about Sukkar

Poor old Bunty though … never seems to get a chance !

Poor old Bunty though … never seems to get a chance !

Sukkar has been our best player in NSW Cup this season. Taken his game & physicality to the next level this season. Now gets his chance back in NRL. Bunty just been ok in Cup.

Half your spine out for at least three weeks would test any team. It’s going to be a struggle to get the bacon in all three games

Yes no doubt … but this is the sort of game a really good side finds a way .. bit like the Broncos against us

 

[wstigers11]

Our class in attack was noticeably down when Bula was out last year. Big test for them.
