Game Day RD 17 - Tigers V Suns

As we head to Metricon Stadium to play the last roll of the dice Suns, can the tiger juggernaut make it 12 wins on the trot on their home away from home.

Tarrant on Caboult and perhaps Miller on Chol, our backs should be able to contain their forwards, especially with Rankine out.

I reckon our forwards can cause some damage as their backs aren't as talented or experienced as our back 7. Collins on Lynch, tipping Tom to get a hold of him, no love lost between those 2.
The Sun's strength is their midfield, so if we can at least match it with them in the engine room, it will go a long way to winning the match.

Keep up the pressure boys and don't allow the suns' mids to break our tackles like the eagle's mids did last week.

Tiges by 27
If O'Gorman and co start influencing, Tiges by 7 points

Likely wins to Blues and Pies this weekend. Unless we win well it looks like 8th for us. Just have to keep winning.

Have a big win today and we could sneak into 5th place on percentage

By a stroke of luck I happen to be on the Gold Coast at the moment, and so am taking the kids along to watch our beloved Tigers.

Was hoping it would be wet to give us a massive advantage but alas, no rain in sight.

Go Tiges

Yes if Pies lose, Blues lose and Tigers win by 50 or so points, we'll be 5th. Can safely say that combination is very unlikely to happen. 5 wins of last 7 will most likely be safe for a top 8 spot.

This is a bank the win and move on game, particularly with our injury list. The chance for a % boost was last week and we missed it.

Agreed TL. It was really just a possible statistic.
Very unlikely to happen of course.
Throw away post with hope in my heart.

You used to be able to park at Nerang train station and catch a free bus. But not sure if that still happens though

Free parking and shuttle ride from Boowaggan Rd Merrimac.

10-15 min drive from ground

I‘ve also heard of people parking at Royal Pines Resort and getting a free shuttle from there too.

Cant find anything online however so can’t confirm for sure.
