Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2739450, member: 1899"] I tend to agree (apparently). The Tigers played their worst game of the season against Newcastle. Everybody saw it, there was no hiding from it and now Wests have to front their home crowd in conditions that typically suit their style of play. Outside of that game and the second half against the Titans, the Tigers haven't been that awful this season and for whatever reason they tend to spook Melbourne at the best of times. Apart of it has to do with Robbie Farah who loves going up against Cameron Smith and really makes it a mission to out-play him. The other reason is because Melbourne can't go with a team that doesn't respect their defensive line. If Wests can heap on the points and hold their defensive line they're a real chance. I also don't think Woods is that big a loss. Don't get me wrong, he's a quality player and he'd be a fixture in my representative teams but last year his absence actually brought the best out in others. Players like Seumanufagai and Sue demonstrated they could handle his work-load and it allowed the Tigers to play up-tempo footy. I could be alone on this, but sometimes I think forwards can be too selfish. I'd much rather a forward who can make 12 really good hit ups out of 16 than say one who can make 8 from 22. Call it the Brad Meyers theory. [/QUOTE]
