[The Original Idiot]

No Rocky Trimiarchi? Why is Lolesi playing forwards and Laffranchi on the bench? And Riddell, and PJ Marsh.

Tigers for me.

[Teegy]

Pig Riddell is suspended this week. but im not sure why PJ isn't playing

[Steelers]

PJ had an ankle problem or something didn't he? He was on croutches at the Eels team meeting.

[Eel 33]

Marsh injured ankle ligaments against the Cowboys 3 weeks ago, won't be back for about another 3 weeks.

No nonsense local derby dogfight. Parra will get off the canvas this week with a good win. 1-12 will be the margin.

[qld power]

thats some mighty beef on the tigers interchange bench for real

[dogsfansince1988]

tigers 4 me

[Kallan]

Not sure who will win this one, I will say Eels, just.

[DeeGan]

No Benji, no Hodgson, no brainer - Parramatta Eels to return to form and get their second win after the bye.

[Steelers]

I think the Eels can turn their season around from here... so I am hoping they win.

[Eel 33]

We better....or it's going to be a very long winter.

[Dakink]

Eels by plenty... though my tipping isnt exactly awe inspiring...

[Eel 33]

Eels by plenty... though my tipping isnt exactly awe inspiring...

Mine aren't either.

[Titanium_BD1103]

I need to regain form in the tipping comp.. well the one I was leading.. and with the side Wests have.. I am going Parra... lets hope they can get some form back because on paper... they have the side to beat the Tigers.. but away from the paper... it maybe a different story.. ;).... lets hope not.. :D :D

[Social Loafer]

No Benji, no Hodgson, no brainer - Parramatta Eels to return to form and get their second win after the bye.

Since I tipped the tigers, I'm hoping the old Deegan "Sure Things" of the week will start again :laugh:

Goals: Delany 6

Tigers: 16
Tries: Collis, Whatuira, McDonnell
Goals: Prince 2


Man of the Match:
Hindmarsh (PAR)

[Luke]

Good win by Parra.

[dan the man]

Great Game - Cayless and John Morris great @ no. 9

Good Game - Hindmarsh (as per norm more running this week); Morrison; Tahu and Delaney..with Jeremey SMITH quiet achiever :hi:

[Dakink]

Good game by Prince AND Peterson.

Prince lead the Tigers well, if Benji\Hodgson had of been there they would have won comfortably. Fitzhenry tried hard but hust doesnt have 6's instincts. One time Prince had created an opportunity out wide but Fitzhenry over read the play and instead of catch, draw and pass he ran back infield wasting a try scoring opportunity.

Eels have a long way to go before I would even consider them top 8 chances.

[Eel 33]

Good win by Parra, plenty to improve on though. Will have to pick up quite a bit this week or will get smashed by the Eagles. Look at what they did to the Dogs.
