2026 WT Rnd 5 V Eels

The team should be well rested and ready to show the Eels what the new and improved Tigers can do!

Eels right side looked pretty dangerous at times. They have a few injuries though, beware!

Eels were lucky Penrith didn’t put 60 on them. 

Eels have given up 38 points a game thus far, and have a few injuries. 

We'll be full of confidence and well rested after a long break.

Historically, yes 100%. Maybe things have changed?

With all the injuries they have, and how they looked the last night they were busted....however as regular as clockwork they will put on a good one with us next week.

Welcome to the forum.

Yep, we've seen this before. Fingers crossed though, that we're a new team.

@joel No Joel, we are still the Wests Tigers , which means we will get wacked next week by the Subphylums (look it up, it means the eel family)

I hope Benji goes for a big bench again, even though Api will have to play 80 again. We should be able to smash their forwards which should offset the halves/backs where the teams are more evenly matched.  

Hoping we get a massive amount of tigers fans to the game. I'm travelling up from Tassie again for the game. Bringing the family for my wife and daughters second ever live game. Just don't ask what the first one was.

Unpopular opinion, but I love CommBank stadium. Should be a blueprint for how league stadiums should be built.

No real surprises. I like the bench.

We've no real indication on Toa's return it seems.
