Tigers are a bunch of rebuild kids and battlers, as MBB said we should take care of them easily and have a big win imo. I don't expect to see us defending for our lives in the last quarter or blown away in one quarter like last week.
Need a good win for confidence and while the media probably won't be impressed with anything we do at least we might get the club off the front and back page of the papers and settle a few people down .

Agree however i thought exactly the same thing when we played them in R1 last year and when we played the roos.

Despite our clear edge in quality if you compare the 2 squads fielding tonight that in itself counts for little and we are far from a certainty to get the 4 points if we are basing it only on that. Tactically we are bottom 4 and evey team that plays us knows that are never out it and if they get a run the flood gates will open. 

We are a fickle club at the best of times and my worry is the players no longer believe in as he has idea what levers to pull (oh except put cripps forward) if the game is not going to plan.

My heart says it will be a 10 goal win but this current list finds new ways to disappoint me so until the game is beyond doubt im far from confident

I doubt the weather is going to be conducive to heavy scoring. Hopefully I'm wrong, but this is how luck like the luck of the weather, can influence a season.

The naysayers will claim I'm making an excuse in advance, I must be Nostradamus.
