This clash at Carrara Stadium on the Gold Coast (26th January) should prove to be a real test for the Tigers.
With Terry Lamb starting new signing Matt Lockyer at 5/8 for the game should prove interesting as he takes on Adam Dykes from the Eels in the opposite number 6 jumper. It will be interesting to see how the Tigers fare against the Eels who have names a pretty solid lineup. The Eels lineup is as follows:
This Eels side looks well balanced. Unfortunately I do not have the Tigers lineup as yet but hopefully will get it very soon. Even without the Eels having Wagon, Lyon, and Vella in their lineup they still look a strong team. The Tigers strengths are their forwards with the likes of Senter, Skandalis, O'Donnell (if he finds that 2000 form he had), O'Neill and new recruit Steve Trindall amongst them. The Eels backline has more pace but ours is definitely more aggressive.
Hard to tell how the Tigers will play without a lineup available at present. If the following players are playing watch for Willie Manu, Lincoln Withers, Matt Lockyer, and Troy Wozniak to make an impression.
An upset is not out of the question!
