Fantastic win again against all odds, excellent completion 82% and solid 22 missed tackles (vs 27 NZ). Out forwards won us the game, especially Woods, Sue and Seumanufagai.
Very good defensive effort by Edwards and Taylor (54 tackles only 1 missed tackle WOW, RF who? :slight_smile:
Finally we had some luck with ball bounce, and our worst player scores the last try.
WIthout Tedesco this was heroic win.
Stupid commentators,'lets forget the sheppard rule, lets forget forward pass, lets forget he stepped on the line etc.'
Go Tigers :sign:

Tigers snatch late win over Warriors

A stunning 36-24 come-from-behind victory over the Warriors in Auckland has kept the Wests Tigers' top-eight hopes alive heading into the final round of the season.
Despite trailing 18-12 at half-time, and 24-18 with 10 minutes to go, the Tigers refused to go away and scored three tries in the last nine minutes to simultaneously revive their season and end that of their opponents.
A victory next week against Canberra, coupled with a Gold Coast loss when they take on the Cowboys, will see Jason Taylor's side clinch a spot in the finals.

Gaz said the Warriors got a ruff deal from the refs,
they scored after Marno put his foot into touch from that 20-20 and the ball from Ashford looked to go forward so I don't know what gaz is on about

How about Gasnier's comments before the game, saying the Titans deserved to be in the 8 but the Tigers and Warriors didn't. Forgetting that for the Warriors and Tigers to make it they'd have to win their last two games which would result in the them having 1 more win than the Titans. Goose.
On the game, Woods and Sue were outstanding. I could have strangled Simona, absolute brain dead performance. Moses is Moses. Rankin was solid, his goal kicking a real positive. I was really getting ready to unload on Brooks, but he came to the fore at the right moment with the 40/20\. Still needs to get more involved though.

Overall, I enjoy his commentary. He is open and honest and calls it as he sees it. Personally, I think they were harsh calls but that has been called all year. Woods playing for it I don't like but that has crept into his game a bit particularly when playing the ball. I have little sympathy on the first one as it was clearly forward. I don't believe the no try was a square up but it shouldn't have got there.
Anyway, its always easy for supporters commentators and media to blame the refs. What about Kata dropping it over the line and the miss tackles on JAC and the poor reads on the Sue tries etc.

Yes, he is an exceptional player and always has been. I believe he will be our best shortly and most valuable.

Moses just comes up with big plays all the time. There was one run he did from dummy half that was awesome. He wants to win and will do anything to win at that level.
I reckon he is Tedesco like. Last year he looked likely. This year he has proven he belongs. Brooks needs to step up further but he was I think even better than Moses today.

Brooks looks to be still suffering from that knee injury

yeah but it's not what he WANTS to happen. i expect better of gaz in his commentary, to let his obvious personal preferance show through like that is something i expect from a tallis, or any and all of the channel 9 crew.
