With the inconsistent form he's in right now, who knows if it will?!
Nothing I can see in recent times, TOE.
We have a decent record against Wests Tigers at the venue....hope we can stick it to them.
Thanks, Mitchy.
Yeah, he obviously kicked a few when regular kickers were out of action. Happened a lot during that period as the team had 4/5 capable goal-kickers at some points.
And yes, one of the few teams we have a respectable record over.
No love for the pre-game stats against a team that, surprisingly, we have a decent record against both overall and at ANZ?
I also surprised out of recent players vai totai was highest try scorer with 4. Our record is good against them but with tigers not known for being defensive team strange that semi, Norman and other players who been here few years haven't scored more.
