It's been fifteen seasons since the joint venture played their very first game in round 1, 2000, against the Brisbane Broncos at Campbelltown Sports Stadium. There's no doubt this will be a huge game, will the Tigers hoping for an inspirational victory aided by a vocal home crowd.
The Broncos are a strong team, but have been hit harder with the State of Origin selections and injuries than the Tigers- with key players Sam Thaiday, Corey Parker, Justin Hodges and Matt Gillett out, compared to the Tigers' two influential figureheads, captain Robbie Farah and front row Aaron Woods.
Although there is no doubt the two galliant giants will be missed, the Tigers boast a talented squad with plenty of potential. Already on a two-game winning streak, the boys are sure to come out firing.
Having drawn 24 all in 2001, fingers are crossed for the boys in black and gold to be rewarded with the two points, 15 years on.
