Game Day Blog - Eels vs Tigers

After the Eels lost vs an injury depleted Manly last week, how will they play?

Media types seem to have mentioned that Manly were missing several players in last week's game, but not much has been made of the fact that the Eels had 7 players out.

Anyway, I'm predicting a high scoring and exciting game with an in form Tigers up for this. The Eels should win the battle in the middle and as long as they keep Marshall and Walters reasonably quiet, as the Tigers seem to have finally found the right halves combination, we should win this.

I'm expecting most of this game to be pretty close with the Eels running away with it by full time.

Fergo, Matto and Moses back is massive for us and I expect them to be refreshed and on fire.

Hoping Matto has a massive game and proves to the Tigers just why he left.

 

So, winners and margin?

MOM?

  • Eels to win by 10.

    MOM Moses.

  • I'm expecting our boys to come out hard and come out fast. Too big too strong for the Tigers.

    Eels by plenty 

    Parra 34 - Tigers 10

    • that sounds about right

  • The tigers strength is their middle. You bash them upfront you negate Grant and provide no time for Marshall . The Eels defence when their line speed is on is brutal, No dice for the Tigers there.

    The Tigers have Lawrence and Mbye in the centres they'll have their hands full if Blake and Jennings get early ball with Marshall and Walters having to deal with lane and Matterson terrorising them.

    We'll pull apart their middles and carve them up outwide. The only way I see them troubling us is if they  play with high risk quick shifts from one side of the feild to the other which isnt Madges go and it doesn't suit Walters game.

    Kick to Nofoaluma to takeaway his dummyhalf runs and the Tigers fall a way fast.

    42-0 MOM Moses and Fergo with a double.

    • Hoping that's the score mate and could well be. I have Tigers supporting mates who genuinely believe the Tigers will win, so to put them away would be extra sweet.

      Cant wait.

  • I'm expecting the Eels to come out fast and strong but unless they pile on some points early, the Tigers will get them towards halftime. 
    Its going to be a cracker game and I reckon it will go down to the wire. 

    • Both teams are at least a 20 point better side than last year. Playing at bankwest I tip eels to win by more than 20.  MOM Clint G.
    • So we win 71 to 26?

      • Lol . I hope we get 71 yes but last years game Tigers were not exactly full strength facing our large vocal away crowd at Easter weekend first  and long waited game for Parra at Bankwest. 

  • The journos on NRL 360 talking up the Tigers big time. Not a nice word to be said for Parra. (I don't know why I watch that show). 
    Tigers main danger is Grant scooting from dummy half. Benji's short kicking game can be very effective too. 
    If we bash them through the middle early we'll win well.
