Team lists have finally been inserted.

The biggest news to come out of TLT revolves around Melbourne. They've lost both their centres and Nelson Asofa-Solomona ahead of their clash against the Eels with Eliesa Katoa being the only gain. That should bring the Eels back into it somewhat, but without Brown, Sivo, Lane, RCG etc. it'll be tough.

It'll be interesting to see what Lussick provides out of dummy half. Hands has been solid for him, but it's a tall order to play 80 minutes as a rookie dummy half so that could spark them in the middle.

Both Latrell and Brooks return on Friday. Both teams are due for a win and on paper you'd have to give it to the Bunnies, but stranger things have happened. The Tigers weren't far off from beating Souths last time and I'd imagine Brooks will be trying to sign off in style.

DCE's 300th game this week.

First player in history to reach 300 games playing in the one position.

 

[Silvertails.net]

Well here we go again !!

Our Bronco mates will be salivating at the thought of tonight’s game , the Rorters have been pretty average of late.

Ohh you never know
Uncle Nick may have slipped some paper bags to the refs

 

[Brocko]

Ohh you never know
Uncle Nick may have slipped some paper bags to the refs

Atkins goal line defence was top notch

Let’s hope they are REALLY shit tomorrow afternoon because we haven’t beaten these arseholes at home for 20 years !!

Yes TWENTY YEARS!!

Records

[Silvertails.net]

1st game for Brookes tonight since he signed for us

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Did we break Cody Walker?

 

[ZTop]

Surely that's a shoulder charge?

 

[ZTop]

How slow is Tupou

 

[Silvertails.net]

Did we break Cody Walker?

Played well in Origin, but he's been average since.

 

[Silvertails.net]

Whatever tape Souths are using to cover up the NRL logo doesn't seem to like being there. They are flying off left, right and centre.

 

[Brocko]

Trell had his hand over the top holding the Tigers head/neck and still got a 6 again

 

[Foordy]

The Tigers are so bad this will be a cricket score

 

[Sproj]

Koraisau getting praised for a try saver that was exactly the same as what Mam got suspended for.

 

[GCBRONCO]

LOL that has to be one of the worst touch finders I have seen, Brooks lost ground!
