Re: Newcastle vs Tigers
Strikes me as the worst possible time to play Newcastle. They've had effectively a reset and a new preseason under their new regime, home fixture after the internationals, so possibly a rowdy crowd (cheap tickets to the students again, no doubt) and they'll be looking to prove a point.
Still think we'll have too much for them, but it is going to be a different proposition than playing them a month ago would've been.

Re: Newcastle vs Tigers
Yeah, much the same thoughts here Puja. Falcons are a banana skin waiting to happen to someone. If they can get some of their injured players back they'll be a real handful.
Interesting to see then try to combine Searle and Bailey at 10 and 12. Searle has shown himself to be a very hand general in the 10 shirt but his attacking game has limitations, Bailey has looked Flood esque ball in hand at 10 but hasn't shown the same game management and ability off the tee. Harsh on Woodward who's been excellent so far this season (unsurprisingly).
