Wests Tigers Team v St George Illawarra

[happy_tiger]

Am I right in saying the last time we played the Dragons at the SCG was Brooks’ debut? Hope he has another blinder!

You would be wrong. We played them there in 2013 and lost.

Brooksy debuted at the end of 2013, so surely the loss was earlier?

Then it must have been 2014 then. I remember cos i was there with my fiancé, who at the time was still a Dragons supporter. It was the game where Sue and Ava debuted. We lost.

Don't tell me you've converted the poor girl to being a Tigers supporter?

She had no choice. She's a social worker, she's used to hard work.

So now she has to bring work home GNR

I wasn’t wishing injuries on opposition players …but if the games goes into Golden Point and is a brutal smash up derby so be it

i'll be cheering if any sharks get injured. Bad sportsmanship, I know, but they can't hear me. Suspensions, even better.

How do you do it? My Mrs is a Knights fan and barely spoke to me for 2 days.

Gees this game has me nervous. An underperforming opposition that we should put away quite comfortably. It reeks of the Titans game from last year and to an extent the Dogs game this year. We've got everything to play for, but history and 18 years of devastation and trauma at this time of the year leads me to believe we'll show some grit and fight in one game and drop the other. I don't feel good about this game.

 

[hsvjones]

Very Nervous about this game... Dragons have been in the media and getting Pumped.
This will show us how our mental game is as they have a lot of rep players and their forwards are massive.

@GNR4LIFE
But Brook’s debut was 2013 and one of the final couple of rounds of the season?

 

[jirskyr]

There's no need to be especially nervous for this game because it's a very simple equation - win and we live another week, lose and it's all over.

Whether or not we *should* beat Dragons is irrelevant. Their position on the table is irrelevant. It's not as if the players don't know what is on the line. We just have to win.

 

[Needaname]

@TYGA ******We then want a brutal affair at Shark Park with suspensions, injuries and a narrow Sharks win******.

Surely we want the raiders to win

Hmmm.
If the Broncos Lose first I think a Win by the sharks might be more beneficial this round.
They go into the final round guaranteed 7th place.
Think that would be a better position to play them in.
If we lose that and the broncos loss next week we still make the eight.
If both the sharks and broncos lose round 24. And the Broncos lose the next round, we would be playing for 7th or 8th. That would be the best scenario.

This is dependant on us beating the Dragons and the Knights losing to the Panthers....

how about everyone lose, we win


and then rorters get kicked out of the top 8 for salary cap scandals

@Needaname I don't care about a better position to play the sharks. I want the best chance for the tigers to play finals, which would be if the sharks and Broncos lose this round and fingers crossed we beat the dragons

If the Eels win and we win a Sharks win would mean a complete dead rubber for them at Leichhardt Oval.

There’s no guarantees but common sense would prevail for them to rest players for what will be a do or die game for us.

If the Broncos win 100% we want a Sharks loss and a big one.

 

[Needaname]

@TYGA
Agree with that and this was the point I was trying to make.
If both the Sharks and Broncos lose this round we have to hope the Broncos lose again to make it as the sharks have a much better F/a then us!

 

[GNR4LIFE]

@GNR4LIFE but the initial comment was about THE last time we played there.

Yes, and I obviously got that wrong. I thought the game I was talking about was the following year.

Or we could flog STG and the Sharks.

I claimed my missus. She used to be a Panthers (well Ryan Girdler,) fan and I asked her if she followed a team she said she "used" to follow Penrith. I said it sounds like she follows Wests now. The young bloke has been brainwashed too.

We just need to worry about winning and let the dominoes land where they fall.

The onus has to be on our boys to determine their destiny. If they don't win none of it comes into discussion.

Great work CB. I’ve been a total failure in this regard. Misses follows the Bulldogs and my daughter follows Manly. I just hang my head in shame.

No we don't have to hope Donkeys lose two games. They only have to lose one and we win our two and we are in 8th.
