Become a Tigers supporter and join us in the mother of all self-hating suicide cults. Revel in our unbridled optimism that gets crushed by our team's spectacular ability to self-destruct or clock-out of games at the drop of a hat. Watch as any player you actually like or that has talent is inexplicably sold and replaced by either a 17 year old or someone who is an insufferable twat who everyone hates.

Just don't be a Broncos fan, or if you do don't flood the place with the pony gif. gently caress that thing's annoying.

Jinx spotted. Now taht you jinxed it, the Sharks will finally win the comp with the Tigers Second XIII.

But whilst on predictions: The Tigers will fail to do anything but cause pain for their supporters and abject hillarity for all others except for Parramatta ones who suicided in round 10, sparking a brief Parra rally which delivers the spoon to Brisbane.

I think I need to pick a team that has the same name as an NFL team so I can keep talking about how the Cowboys-Raiders or Broncos-Panthers game last weekend was awesome and I can't believe he missed that conversion and then I end up with no friends because no one else I know really cares about rugby.

That's not really a prediction, so far as it's just rehashing the clubs history from 2000-2004,2006-present.

And the Sharks being the Tigers Second XIII? Pretty sure they're our First XIII...

PLEASE DON'T POST

Inspired by Kevin Sinfield's extremely prestigious Golden Boot win, Sean Long decides to not allow retirement to get in the way of challenging the Australians in the "being a complete stinkyhole" stakes, which ends about as well as you probably expect.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-21030937

quote:

Former Great Britain rugby league international Sean Long has appeared in court charged with assaulting a woman.

The 36-year-old, who retired in 2011, has previously denied the allegation, which was made by a former tenant of a property he owned.

Mr Long, of Smithy Glen Drive, Billinge, spoke to confirm his name, address and date of birth at St Helens and Knowsley Magistrates Court.

He was granted bail ahead of a trial which is due to begin on 12 June.

The former St Helens scrum-half, who won every domestic honour in the game in a 12-year spell at Saints, is assistant coach at financially-stricken Super League club Salford City Reds.

Mr Long, who also played for Wigan, Widnes and Hull, appeared for both Great Britain and England at international level during his playing career.

I think we can probably shove this one with Gareth Raynor's printer ink scam in the "must try harder" file.

Nothing you could write is as deluded or wrong as that coming from a Tigers fan. And please don't take the banter to heart - I always read the thread as if I am reading Roy Slaven. A thread full of Roy Slavens. A times it is comedy gold, and times it is sheer wrist slitting pain and everything in between. And it only gets better the more people post. So please, contribute to the thread about the greatest game of all.

I have added your obviously terrible, ill-informed and incorrect predictions to the spreadsheet and your abysmal teams to the OP.

ps. welcome back to the thread, sorry if we're a bit caustic but firstly we are all manic-depressives as a result of supporting terrible teams and secondly we tend to just disagree with anyone who supports decent teams on principle. Also, I'm sure your posts weren't too wrong and/or terrible as you didn't say you supported Sydney or Manly so they can't be all bad. Feel free to abuse our teams, everyone else including us will. We will all have group therapy sessions afterwards once Melbourne wins everything again Not sure I can look past the Queensland thing, though...

e: added Big Steveo too, took me a minute to work out what Tigersharks meant. gently caress, I've been at work too long today.

Works hard, tries in defence, ok running game.

Average at best passing game, slow as gently caress distribution and pretty limited with his vision.

Sadly I think the Warriors are in for another disappointing season. New coach and no Maloney will take some adjustment and I'm not sure the replacements are that impressive.
