By the way i am a member of parra as thats who my kids go for,so it is easier to buy tickets, balmain tiger fan of the wests tigers merger...tb

Mate, that is your last cheap shot ... any more and the glove are off
NFI why I thought the tig`s this week, prob because of you
Interesting to see how T Smith goes tonight, and if Johns has had any influence ...

 

[tigerboi]

tb ... you left Anthony Topou out of the side matey.


don`t worry ..... the baygon is ready

thats not my nsw team wysiwyg thats the curtain raiser game!!

nsw 3-0
1.kurt gidley
2.jarrad hayne
3.mark gasnier(not a 5/8)
4.matt cooper
5.eric grothe
6.greg bird
7.brett kimmorley(peter wallace the bolter.)
13.paul gallen
12.willie mason
11.nathan hindmarsh(champion,parra without him would be nowhere.)
10.mark o'meley
9.robbie farah
8.luke bailey
14.ryan hoffman
15.anthony tupou(roosters pack connection.)
16.luke o'donnell
17.brent white

no andrew ryan,mason can shift into the front row when needed,bird gives toughness & durability at 5/8,kurt gidley deserves a shot at fullback & can kick goals,the halfback spot is debateable with peter wallace up at the broncos,tonight takes on the qld half thurston,so keen to see who gets over who.

Ithink it looks a good side & of course not all can agree,id like to see chris lawrence get a centre spot over cooper but the selectors will stick with that pairing.also no jamie lyon but with bob fulton a selector he may get the nod at 5/8 with bird at lock.anyway good to see what other teams you guys like...tb

nah mate no cheap shots here its all there to see but take heart parra should win,gloves off!!! as for tim smith & andrew johns influence i dont know if he has been working with tim smith since he was over at wenty for 2 games.

One big thing i know about joey is he watched alot of peter sterling play & he brought that into his game,take the banana kick for example.
sterlo was doing them when joey was in the under 7's,if you hear sterlo on the ch 9 commentary,he is still 2 plays ahead of anyone else.

Sterlo was a real thinking halfback,whereas raudonikis was all bash & barge,personally i think tim smith is still too immature to take on the type of leadership role needed to guide parra.to the top,if he stays off the turps i think he can have a good year,but dont be surprised if finch finishes the year at half back.

The problem hagan has now is hes got finch at 5/8 & i think the best combo this year has mateo at 5/8(his off loads from scrums are game breakers)& finch at halfback.interesting to see tonight if tim smith plays the full 80 mins....tb(hey im taking the piss..!)

Eels got it in the bag this year
beat Knights tonight by 10 I recon

I have a mate close to the club and he`s been fairly involved with him ..training sessions etc ...interested to see if Smith takes on the line a bit ...hell even once would be nice

if you hear sterlo on the ch 9 commentary,he is still 2 plays ahead of anyone else.

Yep Sterlo`s a legend..pity he is not more involved with the club ...bad blood between him and Fitzgerald apparently.

The problem hagan has now is hes got finch at 5/8 & i think the best combo this year has mateo at 5/8(his off loads from scrums are game breakers)& finch at halfback.interesting to see tonight if tim smith plays the full 80 mins....tb

Yep, that combo looked nice although Finch came down to earth with a thud last week!!
Mateo can do that from anywhere .. class act for sure.
I agree about Smith, he`s not quite there yet and makes some poor decisions sometimes and I`ve also got a prob with Eric G`s defence although pound for pound he`s an animal.

hey im taking the piss..!!

Hey.. I deserved it!!

 

[tigerboi]

I have had the same angst with john morris,yuk please take him back he has the worst kicking game of any halfback in the NRL,when he takes the line on with the ball in 2 hands he goes real well but in between he reminds me of ken"i play in a dinner suit" wilson.

Hoping big time when benji comes back he or tim moltzen go to halfback,but i think sheens will use morris at hooker when farah is bashing up QLD 3-0.the big question on the no.7 is what is sheens doing with matt head?

Remember the final last year v storm,my 15 year old daughter reckons grothe is 5hit hot,i said who do you like for 1st try scorer,we where on the way home,jammed on the brakes there is the tab.

she says hayne & grothe
i goes in puts it all on grothe...13/1 thank you,go the blind & guru junior gets me a very good amount(tried to keep it from the missus,frowns on the punt,but we gave it away with all the high 5's...)best go is the lunatics on 2GB continous call team,hadley,blocker,brohman..tb

 

[tigerboi]

Just got the mail that lockyer will not play tonight,that changes the game for sure.broncos still to win....tb

 

[tigerboi]

tim smith what a start...tb

yep good team???why dont webring fat albert out of the pub he owns down south,wouldnt be a saints fan by any chance??

Now there is a bunch of chokers if ive ever seen one,lost the last 5 grand finals(led melb.14-0 in 99).marvellous the sight of trent barrent on his knees crying in 2005 when the mighty tigers led by kapow halatau!! x 2 tries,put them to the sword!!

youngquest,the model in reserve grade!ditto matt head,i like ashton sims good young bloke who used to go out with my daughter.true...
ennis on the bench...

On the nswv qld,does anyone remember the first nsw v qld(not origin)played outside of the scg & lang park???1979 at leichhardt oval with boustead,reddy,rod morris in the blue jersey,meninga was dropped for this 3rd game(yes he did play pre origin)i was lucky enough to have the programme autographed by both sides,i was allowed in the sheds...
only a few years ago i had a good look at it,guess whos autograph i got from the nobody on the qld bench????guess anyone,i will dig it out & put the sides up,it has the typo 1978,instead of 1979...tb

 

[tigerboi]

I did select parra to win but the better side lost,grothes defence was abysmal but got over the line,newcastle as i said will surprise more teams,compare tim smith with mullen,everytime mullen got the ball the knights look real dangerous,also jesse royal is a real talent watch him this year,cayless potting field goals,that'll do me..props kicking drop goals.

tim smith as i pointed out,poor options..back to wenty.

Newcastle to spring a few more upsets...TB

Remember the final last year v storm,my 15 year old daughter reckons grothe is 5hit hot,i said who do you like for 1st try scorer,we where on the way home,jammed on the brakes there is the tab.

she says hayne & grothe
i goes in puts it all on grothe...13/1 thank you,go the blind & guru junior gets me a very good amount

Hayne got the first 2 & grothe the next for parra...my kid is very lucky..

2005 Barrett penalised for not playing ball and running off mark (DIDN'T HEAR HELD CALL ) how harsh was that and at the time the dragon pack were STEAMROLLING the tigers .Tigers score from next set of 6 BULLSH5T %^$#@%%^^$#@:aufreg::swear::cussing:went to the same school as albert(Craig Young) Corrimal High .Whole new culture coming to the Dragqueens next year .Brown-Haddock-McGregor-Young all gone:the team I previous put up were the player the dragons have lost over the years (could have put Millard in the centers as well)

 

[Wysiwyg]

everytime mullen got the ball the knights look real dangerous,also jesse royal is a real talent watch him this year,cayless potting field goals,that'll do me..props kicking drop goals.

Yeah Mullen is coming along well.On a mission to interstate duties and alongside Bird seem the best outfit to counter the Q`s.

 

[tigerboi]

Ah priceless mate go get the dvd just to see it again!!

I waited 32 years to get a premiers shirt & it was so much sweeter beating the saints,who thought they only had to turn up to win...

They got a lesson from the tigers young guns who packed too much ammo,too hungry as well...kapow halatau!out of dummy half he said?out of my way i am scoring, then his 2nd scored out wide...

The saints have all of the illawarra to get their players from but still cant get a start in a GF since '99.

Should look at the tim sheens model over at the tigers,dont forget he put the side together at penrith that made it to the finalsfirst time '86,then built a dynasty at canberra for 3 comps,went to nth.qld (got sacked) but got some good juniors to come through...

St george need a 5 year plan,it looks like that will happen with wayne bennett most likely to coach there next year...tb
