I really think that this is a game we cannot afford to lose. We cannot afford to underestimate them. In saying that though, looking at our team on paper compared to theirs, we should put a cricket score on them.
In this tight comp there is no guaranteed wins, the Tigers are a different team at ANZ and they will be trying extra hard given the big loss to the Panthers at their spiritual home.
I am sure that BA will have the boys aware that last Sat nights win against the Dragons is now the standard expected every week. As noted, on paper we have the stronger side but we need to back it up with actions on the field.
This is a 4 point game as we have the Bye next, then we meet the Bulldogs at ANZ after that, so a win at ANZ against the Tigers will be 3 in a row which will help build more confidence going into the Bulldogs game. The Bulldogs really touched us up in round two so we need to be toughened up when we do meet them next to show them we can mix it with the best.
I'm with you, Taupau is one player that can turn a game, he also steps up to lead the pack when Woods is away at SOO. He is massive, he is strong, we need to have one of our forwards just target him and try to nullify his go forward, if we can shut him down I think we will win it out wide with Semi running riot. No game in the NRL is a gimme, so let's hope the lads aren't over confident like some of the bloggers here.
"Penis-ini has been a dud forever. The guy runs hard but has hands like feet, is slow and never knows when to pass. He's been given enough chances now to improve that he has to be replaced either by Samrani or a tackle pad. Hopgood shits me with him…"
"True but also remember the stat of no coach has won their first comp after coaching 250+ games? Cleary did that with about 360+
They can be broken. Though it is true doesn't mean it cannot be broken."

Dont know if we will flog em, we could, im tipping a victory for sure.
I hope we win. Its been a great week for us
Pressure is off
What is the motivation this week
Tigers will bounce after last week. But if we can get on top early they may give up. Otherwise it will be a tough game.

When we should win easy we usually lose by a lot
We will see if we have changed
