In your head, rent free
The terrible record is down to the Benji Marshall days which are well behind them now. I don't think their record counts for much regarding this match.

This will be a comfortable win. If it isn't then we're screwed.

Since benji left we are 0-2

The record counts for a lot

We are 7-17-2 against them

I can remember a couple of games at home against Tigers where things got ugly.

Benji disemboweled us for ten years. They only have two wins in a Benjiless team. It is not a long enough streak to regard them as having something over us IMO. It is a whole new ball game.

im not worried about past records. Dont believe in what they stand for. Different teams. Different scenarios.

Im most worried about Tedesco in this game. We need to take him out of the game with the boot, whether thats more kicks for touch (come on Robbo) or what i dunno. But even on kick returns he is damaging. We need to shut him down, and limit his time with the ball

I read Tedesco had lost some pace, whether that is true I don't know (we'll find out).

As far as records go it only matters if a current team has the wood on you, e.g. struggling against Melbourne and Manly. Otherwise I think too much emphasis is placed upon them.

yeah i dont buy into records and hoodoos and all that stuff. Obviously, a one sided record like this is hard to go past, but at the same time, this tigers team is a long way from the tigers teams that beat us consistently (not saying worse i just mean in terms of team changes). As are we. It will be an interesting game. They score 18 on us, they win.

West games I have watched this year teddy has been great doesn't look like he has slowed down 2 much, if he has he has made it up in size can break a tackle. High alert when the ball is in his hands, still think the boys will be stinging from Monday's shabby effort, with plenty to play for ..us by 7-12 me thinks.

Last time we played them at home I sledged the **** outta the Tigers supporters on the hill, as we were winning - up until about 10 to go from memory when we fell in a heap...

Yeah Tedesco is the worry. Farah is half injured and Moses/Brooks are *meh*

Tedesco will score.

Even if we win 40-6 it'll be him to score. He's so ****ing good.

The way he completely blitzed koribete who I think is the fastest in the league was unbelievable
