Let me grab my brasso, and a cloth. I'll be pollishing the barrol for what should be a huge game!
The tigers will take em down.

I have a tiger in my bag!

I've added a Catfight promo on the forum front door. Send it to everyone you know who would come along.

Absolutely love it Isaac, great work.....maybe we can see some great stuff as the ABA finals rock around :)

YES ISSAC! Nice work. I have passed on the link to many a fan around the league! Now bring on the CATFIGHT... and the basketball ;)

Nice work Isaac! great ad!
Ole'!
I'll bring the Salsa, corn chips, buritos, and Tequila! and my surgical knife!

Off with those bags!

For everyone who keeps hearing the names of Joe Ingles or Paul Pochintesta, or Gerlach or Clarke and wants to see them play.

Or you've heard about Adam Benson, or you've seen Gower play garbage time for the Sixers but never watched him in the ABL.

Or even if they've read about William's sore foot in the paper.

This is the game to come and see.

Last time, at MV, the Sabres led for much of the game before the Tigers made a run at them in the last quarter, coming within a whisker. This weekend, the Sabres are without Jason Williams but playing at home. It's a game that could easily go either way.

Can anyone tell me where the stadium is please? I would love to come along and cheer on the tigers!

It's at Pasadena High School (Formerly Daws Rd High School). On the corner of Daws Rd & Goodwood Rd. See you there Col-Diggity!

I'll be there, and will do my Hot/Not list based on the game. Bring it on!!!

This weeks game of the round pits 2 teams with immense hatred for one another - Sabres v Tigers - in what is being dubbed as the "CatFight". Who will bare their claws and teeth and inflict the most damage on the opposite team's finals aspirations - we will know more come Saturday night at Pasadena. In what can only be desribed as a freak occurrence the 2 teams records have mirrored each other for 12 of the 15 rounds which is where we currently find them locked at 9-6 a piece both clinging to postseason hopes. The Sabres have been around the mark for years and have had the young Tigers measure in there last few encounters albeit by slender margins including an 8 pt victory earlier in the year at "The Cage" Will the young upstarts turn the tables at "El Pasadena" ???

G - The backcourt duel hinges on the availability of Potsy - if the steady and sometimes spectacular veteran is there then his tussle with Clarkey should be worth the price of admission alone - if not he is ably backed up by young Shepherd and the ever reliable TJM. Throw the slippery Snake Gerlach into the mix and it's a tough contest to predict. I give the edge to the Tigers based on the uncertain starters for the Sabres + Snakes ridiculous all court game (he LEADS the league in blocked shots and is Top 5 in steals) being the key here his penetration and aforementioned defense are just too much. EDGE = TIGERS

F - The forwards matchup is also a tight one with housemates B.Hodges & Pochintesta taking on Wilkey and Gower - all 4 can put points on the board and with J-Will out of action we could see Pokey get a bit looser than the last time these 2 sides met. Hodges has been red hot the last couple of games but will find it tough to score against the Sabres solid interior D - I'm predicting plenty of trash talking and double fouls and a wash. EDGE = NONE

C - In the Pivot the Sabres have a clear edge - Oscars sweet stroke, great help D and improving post game could be too much for the Tigers to handle, fortunately D.Bowley brings his hard hat and lunch pail every week and should chip in with his usual 10 & 10, unfortunately O-Man will still probably go for 20 & 15 and just how much damage he causes could go a long way to predicting the outcome of the game. Who is David Bowley? - this week we will find out. EDGE - SABRES

B - Here it gets interesting the Tigers bring Hoban, T-Hodges and local Pasadena Phenom Joe Ingles against Funky, Benson and Hakendorf. This is where the losses of Jason and maybe Paul could stretch the blue boys. The Sherriff was monstrous against the 2headed Pero/Rees monster snaring 10 1st qtr boards and Sturt just don't have anything close to Joe "Franchise" to inject that special something. Finklemeyer is always a rock and provides added rebounding and toughness but I think the edge rests with the boys in black. EDGE - TIGERS

I - Home court advantage is the obvious factor in the intangables department and could really provide the difference in what will be a classic contest. Both coaching departments have battled injuries and lineup changes well and in the heat of battle it's probably hard to go past Ninnis's big game experience. EDGE - SABRES

So there you have it a little taste of what to expect on Sat night - but don't take my word for it get your ass and drag it down to El Pasadena and let the gunslinging begin. My predition is a fierce battle like a spicy hot salsa ending up with the unstoppable Tigers sending the Sabres back to the ice age 96-92. Bring on the Tequila!!

Unfortunately (for Sturt, and to a lesser extent for the sport at this level) this is very true.

The Pasadena home crowd is very quiet.

Dont take it too seriously you w#*kers I play for the bloody Tigers ABL team and are just trying to spice up the action - hence the original post in this thread and the preview I posted.

Thanks Isaac for the great logo/banner for the game some talk of it being blown up and plastered all over M/Vale. GO TIGERS

If you want me to at least re-do the text in a larger version more appropriate for printing, let me know.

We (as a wider group) should try and get this sort of thing happening for every ABL game -- posters, themes (like the Safari Cup and the Catfight). If the clubs/BASA don't have the time to do it, someone should give it a go.

Go Timmy P!

I was extremely suprised at the outcome of tonight's game. Very strong form from Tiger's first quarter, didn't seem to hold them throughout the whole game, Sturt just too strong. Impressive efforts from Oscar Forman (sturt), Paul Bauer (sturt), Matt Clark (tigers), Gurlach also. Supporters were amazing. Good atmosphere.
