Damn....really thought Canberra was going to win before the game. Bloody Manly... hope the Eels smash them and they never make the 8 again

 

[Simon]

Raiders = diabolical, they will finish 2nd last now, unless Knights beat Saints by 52 then its the wooden spoon for canberra...
Manly were definately more committed tonight than they have been, but them and the sharks will be cannon fodder next week for dragons and eels...

 

[Burpey]

How do you reckon will Panthers and Knights go tomorrow with nothing to play for ? I think they will actually lift

 

[Simon]

Panthers i hope so, id love to see tigers get hammered like last week, knights, dont really care tbh... if they by more than 24 against the dragons and penrith do win brisbane come 2nd, so i guess it all means something...

 

[Mister Wright]

The Knights will beat the Dragons 25-0.

[Simon]

Cling, and straws come to mind...

Tigers getting thrased by Panthers does too...

 

[Blewy]

Just like the Broncos and Parra...

Look no matter what anyone say about this team they MUST be given credit for what they have done.. Before the season started they were favourites for the spoon.. To come out and make the top 4 has shown what i have seen in this side for seasons, they are potentially a great side..

A post on the Tigers forum sums up how im feeling right now...

Enjoy the next week or two. This is a young team with a hard working, undersized, forward pack.

Those type of teams do NOT win comps

Who cares though? We are 4th...we have a home semi...and a tonne of potential for the future.

This finals will be the teams 'teething'. They'll all mature a tonne from it and come back much better next year.

Old stagers like Buckets, Skando and Ben will get the finals experience their careers deserve.

It's all good

Don't raise expectations too much fella's. Don't expect premierships. Not now.

Enjoy the next few weeks and think of it in terms of how much it will contribute to us winning the big one's down the track.

Enjoy it regardless of results. We are not ready yet and that's nothing to be upset about.

The Team achieved their goals for the season and have shown the RL world that they are a force to be reckoned with in the years to come...
There is no doubt in my mind that this competition is a 2 horse race...

 

[Simon]

tigers might want to work out some sort of defence structure before they even consider ever challenging for a premiership...
tigers to go out in straight sets...

 

[Mister Wright]

Kyle v James - Tipping Competition is heating up

Yeah, shame more people didn't enter.

What on earth has happened with Canberra? Are they the NRL version of Charlton Athletic and play well early on and then do nothing from the rest of the season onwards?

Having saw Carl Webb's hit on Ryan Hoffman has shown me that he is a fat hot head no-hoper thug. He mustn't be that great if Brisbane told him to p*ss off.

I won $60 on the pennie panthers today. I went out to the game with a mate and to be honest couldn't resist the 3-1 that the panthers were paying.

It was great.

yeh i backed them, they have been in good form lately and were always gonna have too much class and power for the tigers...

We don't care about AFL in this thread

Came 2nd in the tipping comp at school ... easiest $35 I ever made

So we'll have plenty in common with the Broncos then....

we can defend, we just have a problem scoring points when darren lockyer and justin hodges arent in the side...

 

[Craig]

Then that shows me about the quality of depth in the Brisbane team if they have struggle to have anybody decent to replace those two.

 

[Simon]

Barnes is a good replacement, he was disgracefully taken out of the game by Moi Moi who will deserve every one of the 9 weeks hes gonna get...
Eastwood whos a young centre had a solid debut, iu just dont replace players of that quality though...

Look at St George, if Gasnier gets injured they bring in Albert Torrens, hes ok but no world beater...
