I’d be punting Garner and bringing back Packer .
Early days though ...

 

[Newtown]

@hobbo1 Have to agree if Packer has learnt that he cannot bludge in first grade.

Bludging aside ...
We also need a knucklehead to take on Hargreaves !

If Roosters, or frankly any team, has posted a more complete starting side than that in the last 10 years, I can't easily recall it. Class and experience across the paddock; threats in all locations. Ikuvalu would be the only "weak link".

We don't win this one unless we defend as a team for full 80 mins, because Roosters can just turn the game with any opportunities.

Still possible though, that's what I like about this Tigers side, I believe any game is winnable if the right Tigers mentality is shown out there.

 

[jirskyr]

Also some very handy footballers in the reserves (not the bench) for both sides.

 

[TheDaBoss]

i think mcqueen took his chance quite well, he wasnt to bad during that game

this game is going to be a big test for all players


im actually feeling preety good about this game, i wont actually be mad if the game turns out like the storms vs roosters game a few rounds ago and we end up losing......

quality football, quality game thats all i ask about this match

Don't mind it, Hobbo.

[old_man_tiger]

Packer looked his best when playing off the bench so I'm hoping @hobbo1 is right

 

[Guest]

Not a bad side but I can't see us troubling the chooks in this one.

 

[newtiger]

@hobbo1

Packer and Hargreaves went at each other in the first clash last year, and I thought Packer got the better of him.

 

[tiger_one]

On paper, we're not in the race.
In actual games, that's exactly when we do our best.

 

[LARDS]

@jirskyr
I think we picked the best week possible to best them.
Roosters are ready for a loss. I don't know if we are good enough to give it to them though.

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah.. Statistically they're due for a loss

 

[LARDS]

@innsaneink
Yeah that and the fact they're dropping off for periods of time during the match lately.
They can't keep this going all year.
I'm not saying saying we'll win though but we got a chance if we play our best.
Who knows what tigers side will show this week.

 

[TheDaBoss]

at least there is no blake ferguson to stop mahe from scoring a try on the 79th minute......

(2nd rorters game last year)

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Rorters only need to fire for 30 - 40 minutes. They will score enough points to win if they do this. Our only chance is if we play out of our skins and Rorters drop heaps of ball and bounce of the ball goes our way
