I can understand if my first two tips aren't counted.

 

[Craig]

**** I hate tipping the Warriors, never know which team will turn up. The one that can beat any team on it's day, or the one that plays like they have NFI.

Oh, and the Knights have entered the race to sign Gasnier. But considering Gasnier can't play for another NRL team before 2012, I guess Newcastle will have to prepared to hand over some serious coin to St George.

 

[NUFAN]

Sunday arvo footy at the SCG, can't wait!

 

[Craig]

I hope all 17 West Tigers players reimburse every West Tigers fan that turned up. I don't even know how you could describe that "effort" by the Tigers players

I also wasn't aware how impressive Merritt's and Colin Best's try scoring records were, and Beau Champion has been on fire in the try scoring department.

2 Words..... Farking DISGRACEFUL!!!!!!!


Its time Sheens steps aside IMO, His constant selection of certain players in the side is beyond a joke now. That along with his reluctance to alter his gameplan and constantly carrying a winger/centre on the bench who gets 5 minutes of gametime has finally broken me...

The Bloke is a protected species in the media and had it been a Brian Smith, a Matt Elliott or a Ricky Stuart in his shoes he would have been hammered by someone in the media by now, but no not Sheens, The guy is untouchable...

Cue Blewy to sing Sheens Praises when tigers hit form...including a replacement winger scoring a last gasp try in an elimination final after sprinting 95 metres after the siren

It'd be his 1st touch of the ball no doubt..

Blewboy is right though. Sheens hasn't been able to get the Tiges to the finals since 2005 - in which time they've had a very decent roster. It doesn't take much to get the finals; you only have to win half your games. This follows Coach Sheens' appalling stint at the Cowboys. I was absolutely gobsmacked when the Tigers extended his contract earlier this year.

 

[howardj]

Origin teams named today and tomorrow.

 

[ripper868]

Yeah I do agree with Blewy, just poking a bit of fun

The only reason why he does so is because the Tigs won '05, and everything else doesn't matter apparently. Which is a farce, obv.
