Tigers ground out a 4th straight win,27-8 v St George Illawarra.Score not a true reflection of the contest.Tight for an hour with Tigers class showing to draw away in the last 1/4 hour..
Could have been a far different result had M Head not dropped the ball over the goal line early 2nd half with no defender within 10-15 yards.Would have put the visitors 8 points up.Instead the Tigers went upfield in the next set of tackles & showed how it should be done to reclaim the lead & then shut St George out.

Great win by the Storm last night beating the Doggies 38-14.The best the Storm have played all year with Cronk leading the way scoring a double along with King.I would rate Cronk ahead of Orford already so his departure has been a blessing.Origin squads announced today with Slater surprsingly missing out.

NSW messed up not selecting Robbie Farrah.
No matter .... The Tigers can certainly use him at peak fitness over the next six weeks
One positive is though that they went 'next-gen' in the halves rather than selecting the old hack who runs around for Cronulla ...

Agree,Farrah should have been in the side.NSW selectors obviously have no faith in Kimmorley or Orford after picking Mullen from the Knights.meltiger said:NSW messed up not selecting Robbie Farrah.

Seemed like alot more than 14,000 last night at the Storm game.Great atmosphere.
Happy too, NSW have ignored Farah.Hope Buderus & NSW enjoy good form & fitness throughout the SOO as far prefer Farah to 'do his thing' for the Tigers than sit out games on rep duty.I'll take a premiership v rep honours anytime'particularly after the disappointments of the mid-late 1980s,which no doubt contributed to the later loss of identity...Interesting announcement last week that the Balmain/Ryde

Well... Unofficially, Balmain have been getting WT reserves for several years now, Western Suburbs have been denied these players due to their reluctance to agree to a merger of the two lower grade sides. Balmain were given the better players as reward for their agreeance to the concept
Doesn't matter from next year on anyway, once the new Junior comp starts and Premier League is killed off.

Heading off to Olympic Park shortly for the Storm v Roosters game.Both sides missing players due to origin so expect Storm to win by around 8.My other tips for the round
Titans to beat Dragons (Already wrong)
Storm to beat Roosters
Eels to beat Cowboys
Warriors to beat Tigers
Bulldogs to beat Sharks
Manly to beat Broncos

Great game by the Storm last night beating the Roosters 26-2.First 30 minutes was average with both side's defence's standing firm but Storm got a couple of tries before 1/2 time & never looked like getting beaten in the 2nd half.Great game by Slater & Storm showed they had plenty of depth with 3 1st gamer's.
