[punterpupnroy]

It's gonna be a big season for the Tigers and it all kicks off this Saturday Night against the Crows. Coach Terry Wallace is adament that his squad of 23 is fit and ready to play. But the Crows coach Neil Craig thinks otherwise, as speculation surrounds a late change by the Tigers.

We caught up with coach Terry Wallace on Saturday Nights game:

Press: "So Terry firstly how is the squad feeling, Nathan Brown is under scrutiny of a heavy quad strain at training yesterday. How do you fancy his chances?"

TW:"Nathan will play, no doubt. I have no idea where you got that from but Browny has been training hard and we fully expect him to play."

Press: "So the now obviously is the whole squad fit"?

TW:"Yep"

Press:"What type of mindset are the boys in at the moment"?

TW:"What do you think."

Press: "Thats what im asking you".

TW:"To win".

Press:" Now moving on, the weather has been hot in Adelaide recently, how do you expect the players will handle that".

TW: "We have practiced in heat chambers believe it or not during the week. So a number of the boys are quite familiar with the conditions. But we will obviously continue with more conditioning to help in recovery post match.

Press: "Thanks Terry good luck".

TW: "Thank You".

So it is shaping up to be a massive night of football in Adelaide. I dont know about you, but i cant wait.
