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

The most unlikely win was in 2003 against the Bulldogs to break a 6 match losing streak. The tigers, led by a halves pairing of Daniel fitzhenry and Lincoln withers, had failed to score more than 8 points in the last 5 games, and they were playing against one of the most dominant teams of the era. I would go so far as to say that it was one of the biggest upsets in the NRL era.

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.

Best win of the 2022 season
Oh wait ........
🤣
 
It's been a long time since I've been engrossed in one of our games for the full 80.
I thought the first Parra raid in our 20 when the ball missed their winger and went into touch, maybe some luck on our side today?
Huge occasion for Parra... Their hall of farmers there, 75rh anniversary.. a packed house influencing the ref who wouldn't give us a six again... To win on the hooter
Man.... That's gonna be a hard act to follow but really happy for the boys and Madge

Everything suggested a 50 point drubbing. Our form, their form, we usually lay down at CumBank on Easter Monday and they are a good side with an occasion to celebrate. Good to see that they showed some ticker and fought it out to the end to spoil things.

Nothing will ever erase the pain of seeing them fold at Leichhardt after Tommy died though.

They also have to back it up which we all know is rarer than hens teeth these days. They have a long way to go before I get excited.

The way the boys jumped all over each other at the end was like they had won the grand final. I hope that moment of raw emotion is thought of at kick off time on Saturday at one of our home grounds. I certainly can't remember when I last saw that, probably 2005 grand final.
 
It was the most unexpected win of WT history for sure.

But the win in 09 against Manly on a Monday night when Orford through it over the sideline was my favorite regular season game.

Even the Fonz lost his cool.
