Tiger Watch Day 4
The intruders will be at the Sydney Football Stadium tomorrow to use the facilities and Roosters Online is going to get a spot in the stadium now to spy on their closed session.
This will be the first and final time they use the Roosters home ground to train on before Saturday’s match, making everyone at HQ confused as to what all their fuss was about.
The Roosters NRL side had no such dramas today, taking their session offsite as they prepare to beat the merger club for third time this season.
Tune in tomorrow to get all the latest from Tiger watch as they try their best to keep Roosters Online out of the closed training session.

The Saga Continues !!!
SYDNEY Football Stadium security will today be on high alert when rivals Wests Tigers and Sydney Roosters come within metres of one another before tomorrow night's explosive semi-final at the Moore Park arena.
The two teams will train just 200 metres apart this morning - the Tigers at the SFS, the Roosters across the road in Moore Park - as tension between the two combatants escalates.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal that a security guard will be placed on the SFS Members Entrance when Wests Tigers train at 11am to prevent any attempted spying missions.
"There are 150 cameras around the SFS and SCG precinct," said an SFS insider.
"Our central control room will be monitoring all people inside and outside the SFS. "If anyone breaches those security lines, they will be pounced upon.
"These cameras are monitored 24/7.
"Even if someone wanted to gain entry through the Swans offices near the Brewongle Stand, they will be picked up. This applies to both teams." Wests Tigers will host their home final at the SFS, despite it being the Roosters' permanent home ground.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal that today:
* WESTS Tigers coach Tim Sheens will hold a press conference in the SFS forecourt at 9.30am, just 100m from the Roosters' offices.
* The Tigers will hold a closed session at the SFS starting at 10am, just 20m from the Roosters' offices.
* The Roosters will hold a media session at Moore Park at 10.30am and then a full training session.
* Wests Tigers will today lunch at the SFS cafe.
Tigers life member and former board member Benny Elias was certain the Roosters might try and watch the Tigers train.
"It's the most important game of the year, why wouldn't they want to get a look at us training?" Elias said. "If you can get an edge, you do your best.
"We just have to stay one step ahead. That means full security.
"It is our home ground, so they can stay off our territory. It has to be a complete shut-out with no prying eyes."
Roosters chief executive Steve Noyce said his club would not alter its daily - and successful - routine.
"It is an unusual situation," Noyce said.
"It's got to be business as usual for us. We can't be distracted by any stray Wests Tigers players wandering around."
Asked if he had a problem training within 100m of Wests Tigers, Noyce said: "No, they are welcome to come and watch."
Then asked would his coaching staff watch the Tigers train, Noyce said: "It would be nice to catch up with my old mate 'Skando' [John Skandalis]."
The two clubs have been playing mind games with each other since the Tigers announced they would be kicking the Sydney Roosters out of the Sydney Football Stadium for the week leading into the finals series.
i thing a few of the rooster boys should dress in black and wear balaclavas and stalk around the SFS, just to disrupt the tigers with paranoia !!
And benny ellias, what a knob !!!!

The tigpies are being just plain stupid.
I hope the Roosters smash these carnts on Saturday night for all this carry on.
And like Maggie said, I don't particularly dislike the tigpies but this talk of "kicking the Roosters out" and "their home ground" etc is quickly changing my opinion of these idiots."The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."

Day 5 Tigers Watch:
It was D-Day at the Sydney Football Stadium with the Tigers on site for a training session and BBQ lunch.
With security levels not seen since the US President was last in town, the Tigers took to the Stadium for a training session after coach Tim Sheens held a media conference in the forecourt of the Stadium.
With media banned from entering the facility, tensions were high as the media gathered to hear what Sheens had to say, before making their way to the Roosters training session across the road from the SCG.
With the Tri Colours banned from training on the SFS, the players took the change in training venue in their stride.
Before too long, a helicopter was buzzing overhead capturing footage of the Tigers closed session while media witnessed the Roosters session. Reports that Brian Smith were in the chopper were unfounded with the coach turning up at training not long after the chopper arrived.
After the training sessions the players headed to the SFS pool for a recovery session only to bump into the Tigers who has just finished their session.
The air was thick with tension throughout the 5 minute encounter before both groups moved onto their next activity.
A Roosters representative was seen lurking around the cafe while the Tigers ate their lunch, no doubt eaves dropping on conversations for last minute tips.
With the big game on tomorrow, Sydney Roosters Online is sure that the coach will be up all night analysing the vision from the CCTV cameras installed earlier in the week at the Stadium.
Make sure you are at the game tomorrow night to catch the Sydney Roosters playing on OUR home ground, taking on the Wests Tigers.
Kick off is at 6.30pm
