What does everyone think of the Tigers side that was named?
Is what it is - if they had better players available they would name them, just like any other club.
Their bench is bargain basement but they do have a sprinkling of a couple good players (Tuilagi, Tamou, Doueihi, Kepaoa) but overall on balance of team vs team shouldn't be enough to worry us.
Tigers have been having a real crack the last few months and have been good to watch - they have played some good footy.
If they didn't have key outs like Hastings ect they would have given our depleted side a run for its money but knowing us they prob still will
We prob get out to a comfortable lead in first 35 minutes but end up only winning by 8 points or something with the Tigs coming back at us and Sharks making as many errors and penalties as possible to ensure it happens lol - oh this game starts late and will go into night time, yea we gunna make some blues for sure.

Great to see we have stuck with Fitz as our coach in that line up.
He has been doing a fair job and deserves to keep his spot.
Conflict of interest - nepotism at the highest level
Really surprised by the Miller selection over Ikavalu - hope it works out …
Dykes was shakey at times last week so maybe Miller is there to potentially interchange with Dykes @ FB if required. Dunno how Dykes goes on the wing but would think he could manage it.
Cause it seems surprising for Ikavalu to have fallen down the pecking order behind Miller. Ikavalu has played fairly well for us and has alot more experience but Fitz does make some bold surprising selections at times and I know he puts alot of stock into how a player is training / pre-season / attitude ect.
I havn't got much insight to how Ikavalu stacks up against Miller in this regard in terms of training, reggies performances, fitness ect. but if Fitzy has made the call then he thinks its for the best.
