Lote Tuquri is the big one there, cant wait to see how he goes at the Tigers. Him and Benji Marshall in the same team could be breathtaking.

Tigers will win this mathcup you'd imagine.

Some ok odds here at Centrebet. Tigers are $1.74 and Sea Eeagles $2.11 so definitely value here with the home side.

There has been plenty of excitement over the off season for the Tigers and tonight is their big night with Tuquri making his debut and a fit and firing Benji Marshall champing at the bit. Robbie Farrah has had a good pre season too and i think the Tigers have too much strength down the lines and the hoem crowd with all the buzz will steer them home.

Take Wests Tigers to Win at $1.74 (Centrebet)

I went for Tigers here too - by 2pts (no justification why - just a hunch)

[GameTipper]

WOW, how fitting... Tuqiri kicks off with a try!

Few mins to go still, Tigers up by 4pts...

Well done to those who picked the Tigers.

But jeez, how disappointing to see a game in Rd 1 so heavily influenced by the referees. Especially Jarrod Maxwell, who had a fair dinkum Barry Crocker!

[GameTipper]

Yeah, saw some commentary of the game and it looked like a shocker... guess who'll be missing week 2->5! hehehe

Was a cracking game actually, thought my bet was gone until near the end. Tigers romped home like a steamtrain.

Terrible umpiring, i agree. What was with all the penalties..?
