Best moment of 2010?

Moments:
Benji Marshall against Canberra in semi, unbelievable!!
Lote try against parra off Farah kick, "dreadlocks and all in the air
Lil Lleyton coming out with Farah in the Prelim final and being carted around on Benji's shoulders
Dwyer's bell ringer
Moors knocking "worlds largest man" according to Gus, Idris on his ass

Games:
Even though it definently wasnt a highlight getting beaten by the bunnies at the SCG which ultimately turned our season around
Beating Bogey teams Parra x2 and Penrith
Roosters semi
Manly first game
Prelim final… amazing atmosphere
 
For mine the most memorable plays of the year are as follows:

Lote's try in the corner v Parra when he was airbourne over the sideline and still scored.
Kevin locke's try v Roosters in driving rain when he busted his hip on the goal post.
Darren lockyer's field goal in Origin, then Benji's 50 meter field goal later that week.
Watching Benji play all year.
Moltzen doing his knee in Townsville.
Simon Dwyer's incredible hit v Roosters.
Anasta's field goal v us.

But the winner has to be Benji carrying Lleyton Giles on his shoulders after a win.
 
Luke Burt missing the shot which would have made the score even against parra.
it ensured wests-tigers won the game, made the top 8 for sure, and ended any chance of parra making finals.
that was good.
nothing will top Benji carrying Lleyton on his shoulders. :wahoo:

1 stands out….the return of Liam Fulton..

Yep - the best part of the season … although there are so many great moments and games already listed too.
 
It probably wont get much of a mention but mine was:

Robbie Farah's trysaving tackle on a rampaging Ashton Sims (I think it was him) up at Suncorp.

There was 10 minutes left, they lead by 2 points, it was a loose ball from a wayward kick in front of the goalposts, the Broncos forward steamed onto the ball, looked certain to score and Farah tackled him one on one and held the ball up over the tryline. That one moment saved the match for me and helped build momentum, a loss there and I think we would've spluttered to another finals miss.
 
Knowing we were in the finals just so the constant complaining and carping by some posters here finally stopped.

As for games, even though we lost, the Roosters game for the atmosphere of being amongst so many passionate Tigers fans.
 
Our first half performance against the Roosters in Finals week 1\. While execution was off, I haven't seen us play better football.

Dwyer's hit, obviously
Benji's field goal (the feeling of seeing it bounce on that crossbar…man o man...)
Beating Newcastle, more due to the immense relief
Beau gem against the Raiders to get us home at Lillyfeid Rectangle

Above all though, it wasn't a moment. It was the adversity that we had at the backend of the season, the injuries and the possible suspensions and everything going against us, and we missed out on a Grand Final by a point. That's more than I would have asked for.
 
the best was the guy who cut up his gold membership after the Souths loss…. hahaha

and all the young guys given a go and standing up!

and Mitch brown

prob called the club and said he lost them.. wouldn't they just resend new ones (maybe $20 fee or something?)
 
The warm up to the first semi against the roosters.
I had 'one of those moments' just seeing the Tigers run out to warm up for a semi-final again. the heart started beating faster. i took a couple of deep breaths and enjoyed the moment
 
Benji Marshall making 1200 cry when he accepted the Wests Tigers Community Award at the GF Luncheon…

Benji Marshall you are a superstar ....Never been prouder to be a Wests Tigers supporter...
:sign:
 
Agree r. dog - bought my membership the day Lote stepped off the plane! Masterstroke by S. Humphries, to exploit the "rugby in Europe for off season, return to nrl" scenario!
 
Can't forget "THE COMEBACK" against Raiders, rd 3 or 4… Not a trait we are known for.
Also, Lote' try against Parra, SFS (thanks to SAS like precision from who other, one R. FARAH!) & last but not least, ROBBIE FARAHS WHOLE SEASON! He is as solid as they come, Origin # 9 next year ... He can only grow rom that experience.
Least memorable: SCG V. SOUTHS! Dunno if i can attend this annual match in the future, after two disasters in a row (Merritt field goal in 09'). 😱pen_mouth:

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one with tears running down my face, it was quite a moment!
