Best moments

The first 30 minutes of our future fullback James Tedesco Looks the goods

Woods consistancy

NYC premiership

Koroibete

Sheens hopefully not in charge in 2013

Worst Moments

James Tedesco's 31st minute Had an impact in my opinion

Seeing the guys after Sonia's death during the minutes silence Another big impact

Sheens totally wrecking our season by switching and swapping our halves

Hearing the news that Simon Dwyer probably won't be back
 
Best moments:

Woods
NYC
Marika
Farah's State of Origin
Tedesco
Sironen
Moors
Bell
BRET

Worst moments

Farah's mother
Dwyer
Moltzen @ FB or centre
Lawrence @ 5/8
attitude & defence
endless permutation @ 7
WT administration
 
On top of the aforementioned:

**Best**
- Round 1\. Bright blue skies over Leichhardt Oval on a warm autumn Sunday afternoon. It was a great way to welcome back the footy season, despite the injury to Tedesco
- Sheens' departure, what we'd all been waiting for
- Dont know whether it's best or worst, but I loved seeing the huge improvement in Beau. He saved our backsides in plenty of games this year
- Breaking our hoodoo of keeping a team to zero, and managing to do it twice in a matter of weeks
- Seeing Payten do so well with the U20s

**Worst**
- Having to watch Gareth Ellis walk off Leichhardt Oval for the last time after the crap we dished up this year
- The way the club handled the coaching and playing contracts at season's end - not only was it a mess, it was highly unprofessional and made the club look a pack of morons
- The Round 25 loss to the Roosters. Gutless
- Lots of duds this year/people we expected more from: Blair, Lawrence, Tuqiri, Ayshford, Moltzen, Grant
 
Best:

• The seasonal form of young Aaron Woods
• Holding not only the Panthers but also the Raiders scoreless
• Koroibete equally the record of 4 tries scored in one game
• The team and club's first win in Melbourne
• Round 1's atmosphere as old friends like Gibbs, Fifita, Morris and De Gois returned home for a grudge match
• Beau Ryan's form
• Matt Utai when he played his heart out
• The 7 game winning streak which proved that when we click we are unbeatable
• Masada Iosefa's signing proved to be a reasonable one

Worst:

• Farah's mother passing away
• The leakage of 30 points in 13 minutes
• Tedesco's injury
• The five match losing streak at the start of the season
• The round 25 game vs the Roosters
• The closing stages of the round 5 game against the Rabbitohs
• Making players like Tahu and Ben Roberts look like superstars

Just add:

Best
The arrival of Curtis Sironen
The win over St George Rnd 23
Courage and heart shown Rnd 20 v Cowboys when Moltzen, Lawrence, Sironen, Ben MM were all injured.

Worst
Curtis' injury, destroyed our season
Robbed vs Bulldogs
Robbie's broken hand finally killed us off.
 
Worst

Watching us play Canberra the first time this year when Campese kept catching us out on our right side defence. We then go into half time and come out and it happens twice more in the first 5 minutes of the second half. I knew at that momemnt we were doomed in 2012 and so was our coach.

Also a mention when Liam fulton was forced to play 5/8 and did a sterling job we change the team again the next week and move him to hooker when we have a hooker on the bench! "Goodbye Sheensie" was the swan song!

Best

Even though we lost I thought our first half effort against Manly the first time we played them this year was our best football of the year. We looked like the premiership favourites!

Also a mention for Koroibete who was a shining light at the end of a dismal season.
 
Adding to/Agreeing with the best:
Woods, Marika, Tedesco
First times holding teams to zero
NYC premiers
Farah origin

Adding to/Agreeing with the worst:
The handling of the post season to date
Is Benji a 6 or a 7 or a 7 or a 6
Rd24 v Bulldogs…I hate losing golden point, especially when we shouldn't have gone to golden point
Rds 2-6
No consistency
 
Best:
wests-tigers running out onto Leichhardt in round 1 with so much excited anticipation.

Worst:
losing rounds 2 - 6\. be nice to win early on , instead of losing
watching the team not deliver or close out games.
 
Best: Watching the 2nd game against Canberra with my raiders supporting mate, holding them to nil and winning $520 with siro as first try scorer.

Worst: Watching almost every other game where a percentage of the team looked like they didn't care.

Best:

The emergence of Sironen and Koroibete;
The 40-0 drubbing of Canberra in Canberra on a wet and cold night (how many of us saw that result coming?);
Benji leading the comp in try assists and line break assists; and
Aaron Woods showed he is a future superstar.

Worst:

Tedesco out for the season after 30 minutes;
Sirro busting his shoulder;
Moltzen playing at fullback;
Benji playing at halfback
The Tigers late season capitulation when a top 8 spot beckoned;
The general lack of desperation among the team all year;
Still inconsistent;
The end of season mess with coach and players leaving

Oh hell yes. We played against teams playing for nothing, and THEY looked like they were fighting for a spot in the finals, not us - (roosters, eels, to name a couple)
 
The worse moment might not of happened yet..that could be the announcement of the new coach! Stay tuned.

the season started off with two big eff ups.

1\. lui on mad monday
2\. then the way we handled moltz's contract

1 effed up our on field performances, the other gave us a sneak peak of what to expect in the admin department.
 
Worst : Waiting for the team to switch on like in 2010 and 2011 off which they never did..

Totally agree mate, there was literally no real spark or determination, bar a few players. Very disappointing.

If it happens…appointment of Matt Parish as 2013 coach. With it will come AJ lurking in the changerooms. I can't think of anything more alarming.

Oh God! I hadn't even considered that! Sends shivers down your spine. His presence around the team would almost make me not barrack for WT anymore - I feel sick now :blush:
