Call me crazy but I reckon we win this one.

the Canberra forwards will be tough to hold out, was last week out GF ?
CSS is not a happy hunting ground
We are due for a win at the ground, added to that we usually string 2 wins together. Should have some troops back, which is needed as the win against the titans wasn’t strong. You never know with this team, to get our hopes up.the Canberra forwards will be tough to hold out, was last week out GF ?

Their big guys will bust us up a bit and score a few tries from close range, I don't think it will be high scoring game however I also don't know where we find 20 pts to beat them. They are a much more consistent team than the Titans and they are also coming off a loss.

I am not as confident as I was last week
Just had a quick look at the Manly side this week and ours in terms of NRL experience. Manly will field a team with more than 200 NRL games experience than the Tigers, 1095 to 884, but you will hear only how tough Manly is finding it this week.
The Raiders 17 this week have 1692 games between them compared to the Tigers 884.
Was curious to see how many NRL games in total the Roosters team from last week had, 2436 games. In fact Tedesco, Tupou, Manu and Jennings, 1-4, have played almost 100 more NRL games than the Tigers 17 named this week.Just had a quick look at the Manly side this week and ours in terms of NRL experience.

Would have liked to see Heath Mason get another run this week.
I use to swear by this stat when it come to tipping. It’s not freely given anymore. But interesting to see it pop up again. I use to like when we had around 1300 games experience. But Bay roosters team a crazy number 🤷♂️Just had a quick look at the Manly side this week and ours in terms of NRL experience.

And Jordan Miller. Both played well and brought some unpredictability to the team
Jordan will be a weapon next season, needs a few tastes of first grade this year and a big off season to condition himself to become a 30 - 40 min impact player off the bench, bit like how the storm play big nelson. Then if he has the legs transition into a starting frf in 2026.Would have liked to see Heath Mason get another run this week.

Willie Mason spoke about Jordan Miller on the libels podcast.
Said he needs good coaching around him, be clear he needs to lose 10kg and get fit enough to play 40-50 mins.
Said he had great footwork and movement and is obviously big.
But needs to do the work

Add Klemmer, Twal and a decent winger (Tupou or Alaimalo) and thats probably as good as we can do without Bateman & Ice.
All very fair comments and I'm sure the coaching staff and Jordy himself know this. He didn't have a full preseason this year as he was in rehab getting his knee (I think it was a knee) right and for a kid his size that didn't help. Would expect him to go into next year in better condition as long as he doesn't have any issues.Willie Mason spoke about Jordan Miller on the libels podcast.
