Rounds 19-26

[smoking_gun]

In the past 2 seasons, including the round just gone. Tigers are 15-2 head to head. No other team has a record that good closing out a season.

Also this weeks game - tigers are 8-1 in the last 9 v the cowboys and 3-1 in the last 4 at dairy farmers.

Let's keep it going

That's comforting to hear. But past records mean nothing unless we step up now.

Getting Ellis back this week will help Robbie around the racks. Tigers to start a huge roll to the grand final. Bring on the cowgirls.

We should beat north queensland, souths will be tough, parramatta we should beat, st george will be tough but we might get away with that one, bulldogs will be tough, i hope we can beat the roosters and the storm we should be able to beat. The tigers have a pretty tough run home.

 

[brk53y]

Dunno why but I'm worried about our games v parra and roosters

Because most teams we should flog end up beating us.

The dogs have a pretty tough run home, if the storm have the minor premiership wrapped up in round 26 they'll rest players, Bellamy has done this before.

I think this Monday's game will be our hardest, then the dogs.

Souffs will be without Luke, the dragons, easts and parra are terrible.

I too thought this but the truth is that he has only done this once last year and it wasn't successful. Didn't even make the GF.

If we remain injury free, and our mindset is right, there is no reason we can't beat everyone in the remaining games of the regular season. Forget what happened this time of the season three years ago it means 3/8's of jack sh*@.

I reckon this weeks game will be the hardest. We come out of this one with a win and we'll be away.

Watch out for the warriors to make a big run home they could screw things up for us if we don't kick clear of them.

Yet easts always beat us and parra put 24 points on us in 13 minutes,so yeh I am worried too.

We used to be terrible in the final rounds. Can remember our record usually being 1 from the last 4 or 5\. We have stormed home the last few years, although we have had some easy runs. Will be a big test this season.

Totally agreed ! Ordinarily, we crumble big time when pressure is placed on us fighting for the last few finals places.

Hate to be cliched, but it's a week-by-week proposition….. begining this week!

We struggled getting over a bottom placed side last week so we need to lift 100% this week against a side entrenched in the 8 .

Exactly. I think the thing that we've done in the last few years, (and '09 to an extent) is just do what it takes to win the game, no matter our opposition. Last yr against Manly and St George we weren't spectacular for 80 minutes, but we did what we had to to win the game. In both games Benji and Robbie stepped up when we needed them to, and I can see that happening again in the big games this year.

 

[happy_tiger]

There's nothing wrong with a tough run home as long as we can survive it

Might as well be playing semi final footy now and being ready than playing bottom sides and getting to the semis and not being ready for the big games

 

[Juro]

I've been playing with the NRL ladder predictor. It is still possible for us to finish anywhere from 1st to 16th. It is also possible for a team to finish on 34 points and miss the top 8, or a team to finish on 23 points and make the top 8.

 

[supercoach]

Not trying to be negative, but what I have seen this year we will be lucky to win 50% of the games that are left to be played. To expect the big Pom to walk into the team and get them firing after such a long lay off is a big call. I recall last year he took some time to get back into stride after a long lay off. I just see too many players who are below form or who are carrying injuries to compare them to previous years
