Confirmed on twitter that Cooper Cronk will have the goal-kicking duties tonight.

Cronk can't kick goals, we saw that in '08 and '10 when he tried. We'd better hope goal kicking isn't a factor!

In this weather, it very well could be important.

Looking at the Tigers line up though, if we don't win it will be pretty embarrassing.

There's Finchy's strength, his passing game. Cronk 1 from 6 for his career now.

Pathetic performance in attack. I expected to lose some direction with Cam out, but we seem to have lost all of it.

How the f*ck did Slater not pass to Chambers!? Horrible decision that resulted in a Tigers try instead of an easy one to us.

Will somebody please tackle Simona? Again, we should have earned ourselves a goal line dropout, THREE of our players fall over and the Tigers go 102 metres again to score.

Killing me.

Billy Slater is having the WORST game i've ever seen from him in purple, this is such a frustrating game to watch.

Embarrassing last 15 mins. Really missing Cam's direction and kicking out of dummy half. Other than his pass to Blair, what has Finch done ? Too much pressure on Cronk to do everything.

If I was Bellamy, I'd be seriously considering hooking Slater.
Not just because he's playing like rubbish, but it would scare the hell out of the rest of the players.

We need to inject Slade Griffin into the game and utilize his running game.
