How would you rank this game? Is it one of the greatest wins?

Backs to the wall, 0-5 to start the season, everyone wanting Madge's head and calling for Brooks to be dropped, yet despite the adversity this week against all the odds the Tigers miraculously win. I think the bookies were paying $9 for a tigers win. It surely has to be up there with some of the best wins in Wests Tigers history? I am still in disbelief we won tonight I was giving us absolutely no chance.
 
Yes, considering the side that took the field and the way they have been playing this year...one of our better wins ever for sure.

Can't compare to the finals but in terms of regular games, there was a 2010/11 game at LO against Cowboys with the Watt/Farah fight. This win reminded me of that.

Otherwise a few years back there was a game when Aaron Woods was MoM against Rabbits. We were close to $4 to win that game.

This however to me is in a league of its own. $9 the odds were, almost no team in the history of Westd Tigers had played as bad as we did for first 5 games, we have an awful record at Bankwest, we have a dreadful record against Parra especially at Easter Monday who were 2nd favourite for the Premiership.

Even if we win or we lose every game from now on, this win will have a special place in my heart.
 
Two others standout for me.

Round 1 2018 vs Roosters. Down by 2 points, Corey Thompson try in the corner and Tui Lolohea kicks the goal with 1 minute to go.
Round 2 2018 vs Melbourne Storm. In Melbourne, Billy Slater's 300th game, Storm the reigning premiers, down by 2 again (I think), Matulino offloads to Brooks with 2 minutes to go.

I think this one tops them.

Forgot about the Melbourne one where Brooks scored. Still, I think that this is against Parra, the occasion and the history as you said tops those.

It was so nice to finally win 1 of these games once I knew it was going to come down to the final minutes I thought we have seen this movie before some crappy penalty and mosses kicks a goal to win it but not today I didn’t know watching a bloke drop kick a ball through 2 post could make me so happy hahaha
 
I need to see us back it up against Souths as we still need to get a couple of kills in the player market. Potentially a pivotal moment if we could back it up. Api and Paps much more comfortable this week.
