Tigers are a good team this year but they've had some issues with injuries to key players. So we need to take advantage and consolidate our position in the top 4 ahead of several games against top 8 sides in the following weeks.

TBH, it would be a mistake to underestimate any team but I think we can win this one easily and further improve our for and against. Roosters also play Sharks so at least one of those 2 will drop back.

I guess it doesn't really matter. We are nowhere near the point where we have to think about other results. Just need to keep winning and I think we will do just that this Saturday.

Manly play Canterbury. That might be a big win for Manly.
 
Game we should be winning.

As a fan with every win im expecting a loss around the corner.

This is a banana skin game, and they shouldnt be taken lightly. We need to be at it from the start. And if we arw serious this year we should comfortable put the Tigers away.

Dolphins by 32

Fts - Cobbo

Motm - Katoa

You reckon he plays origin players or keeps same team
 
The Tigers game against the titans showed their massive weakness through the middle Kini carved them up for fun. It also showed the fact you cannot assume the game is won until the whistle and they will continue to do the unexpected as long as they have the chance.

You bring up a great point. I'm not sure, would depend on how they backup, and injuries etc.

If Flegler is okay, Id be playing him. Same goes for Plath and Bostock. Hammer you could rest, as Fuller had a great game

I would presume it's on a case by case basis. If Flegler for example is only on for 20 minutes, I presume he will want to play. But if he's on for 60, I think it would be better to rest him. As for Cobbo and Hammer and Bostock if he gets on, I think there are hamstring and soft tissue injuries to worry about. But I'm not a physio or medical professional so just guessing.

On second thought, youre probably right. Go in with a side you think can do the job and rest guys keeping them fresher for finals footy.

I wouldn't rest anyone against this tigers side you don't know what you'll get. Rest players and you are almost treating it as an easy game and they could spoil the day. If they come out with a chip on their shoulder they are a very good side and they will have confidence after last week.

Penrith rest players for fun and they've been the best run and performed club of the V'Landys era.

Pouniu has been pulled out of the QLD U19 side and was training with the NRL team yesterday. Either way he's in the NRL squad for this weekend or plays next day in the QCup.

Seb Su'a played 44mins for Norths Devils on Sunday.

Agreed, thats why my first thought was to play a full side.

Again, im no expert, but I get both sides of the coin.

What is an "open dislocation"? It pierced the skin? Can't be that. I'd imagine that is a few weeks out. The risk of infection is high.

fingers out of place n bone minimally pierces the skin but i belive his was very low level and no infection
