"Gee" do you really think we would get a fair shake?

I don't expect us to be on the winning side of Gee's decisions. I can't recall the last time that we were. But as long as we're not absolutely pilloried we're good enough to beat this mob.

 

[Eca]

WT - 32
Broncos - 8

This is what i had in mind too

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

I recall there were many a time when we were so called favourites against underperforming and/or under strength teams and we came away with a loss.
So this is a test to see if our DNA in actually changing???

in the past we can never win as favourites. let's see if we have changed

2020
Wests Tigers v Cowboys ..Fave
Wests Tigers v Dogs..fave

yup, agreed but we need to maintain that.

agree, for so many years we lost nearly every game we expected to win!:grimacing: And then won against 'the NRL benchmarks':flushed:

We started Fav against the Titans and lost, based upon scores from the restart i don't think the Broncos have the points in them to beat us tonight but should be an entertaining game.

Predicted score Tigers 22 - 12
Will get nervous if Broncos score more than 20 points.
Team knows its a crunch game and should perform, with Brooks being relegated to the Bench, i think McQueen played earlier in the season and did ok job, more worried about packer and hopefully stays on the field.

Defining game for 2020 considering what teams we play in the 2nd half of the season a loss tonight and we might as well start planning for 2021.

I think we’ll win quite comfortably. The Broncs are shot.

 

[Tcat]

Winning tonight might all hinge on how we fare in the "6 again lottery".
If we get a fair shake I feel confident that we can win the battle in the middle and the game.

That's the real worry. Last night's game didn't fill me with much confidence. I like the speed of the game, but it's too open to interpretation by individual refs and can have a real impact on the game.

1-12 or 13+ fellas? in the mood for a bet

line is only -5.5 tigers

i would think we can cover that easily.

Tigers 20-0 at halftime (4 tries). Then go on to win 30-22 whilst giving us all a massive scare

 

[OzLuke]

18-10.....up 8-0 at half time

 

[trentrunciman]

a little worried about TPJ in their pack though

Just need to take him around the legs (goes down like a bag of ...) - if he offloads, he is out of the equation. If you have 3 or 4 up top, he still gets the ball away. Better to have the other 3 players ready to tackle the offload receiver.

His offload is his main weapon he’s very good at it. Broncos have had good forwards all year but their spine and edges are very very average at the moment.

If we play with intent and energy in defence we should be fine, hopefully we don’t fall asleep like last week. Keen to see Walters play

 

[Fade.To.Black]

If he gets away with a few shoulder charges/attacking the head and takes a couple of our forwards out of the game.
Other than that he's a hack.

 

[Magpieger]

I hope its not close at all. I’d be worried if they get any kind of a sniff that they can win the game as they have a lot of players that can pull out a one-off individual performance to steal a close one. We must start strong and score early and plenty so that they are mentally broken otherwise they will be dangerous after last weeks win.

Im agree. Hope we put them in a hole early, they don't have the mental fortitude to lift when their backs are against the wall.

If we miss the 8 does Madge start to worry about his job don’t know how true this is but have herd there’s a few players aren’t happy with him

Probably the ones he isn't going to keep.

Good, a few should be on notice. Madge has nothing to worry about.
