Even if it didn't win you could watch it on the NRL website. I've got it on DVD too.
 
I remember that night like it was yesterday. the atmosphere was un real best i have expeirienced to this day. The saits fans outnumbered us as they had access to tickets a week earlier than us ( i had to pay $120 each for a few tickets bloody scalpers ) the tigers supporters were so vocal it was unbeleivable. the joy watching the saints so called army leaving early some with tears in their eyes was priceless ans something i will never forget. after the game at the pub on the corner near the staduim the place was going off with tigers chants echoing all over the place. aaaahhhhhh the memories.

Too true, the noise was unbelievable, the thing I remember the most was the last 20 minutes of the game, never ever had the butterflies in the stomach like I did for those last 20.

Most of the saints supporters around us stayed and wished us good luck for the next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and it took an hour to get out of the carpark, for once I did not mind a bit.

Oh dear, what have I become
 
Thanks Geo. Don't really believe that the ground was mostly Saints supporters - reckon it was closer to 50-50\. I thought I had c–ap seats near the cornerpost - happened to be the one the Tigers played to a lot so got value for money - plus went with St George fans -hahahaha. Matt Cooper spitting chips at Tigers supporters - bad sport! Sat gobsmacked at the end of the game. I'm getting goosebumps in anticipation - might vote again. Only have a copy on video, and no longer have a player - so it will remain forever on IQ2 for me

Nah mate we were well and truly outnumbered probably 3-1.

There seemed to be a lot of us there because of the noise we made all game. I especially recall drowning out an attempted dragons chant :righton:
 
Yeah for me it was as good as the GF win. I remember sitting in my chair at home (qld) tears of pride swelling in my eyes after the game, my 4 year old asking why I was sad. The start of a special bond between us and watching Tigers games together.
If you asked any "expert" we were just a minor speed hump for Saints to roll over on their way to a premiership win. Anyone remember their supporters on their forum? About how their forwards was gonna smash us and how they were going to beat Parra in the GF? Wrong on both counts lol

Thinking about it now, even more satisfying then the GF win….....
 
This game has plenty of votes. More than 56%. Should be the game that is on tomorrow night. Will be good viewing.

Might as well, when our team doesn't make the finals for 4 years straight…let's relive the best WT night of their footy History.

Roll the tape Foxtel
 
Great …....2 of the biggest mocks of all time watch Storm v Broncos come steaming home.....

IQ at the ready (K)
 
I think we got a lot of votes because I think we are supposedly everyone's 2nd favourite team and also everyone just loves watching the Dragons choke so why not watch them choke again for the 3rd time in 9 days! :laughing:
