[JD Tiger]

How many weeks will Sims get?
Under or over two weeks?

Over I reckon, that was brutal and I was shocked to see the refs not pay more attention to it.

Put AD anywhere (except for fullback) and he'll do a job for you. He's a much improved player even since joining the club.

1 of our best.

Good Eastwood boy ??

Can we play either the Dragons or the Knights next week please.

Imagine if we play the dragons and knights ten times , we’d make semis lol.

 

[TIGERPOWER]

Won 3 of our last 5 and could've easily beat warriors and titans

We will come back to rue those games. Arghhhhhh

Alex Twal - The Martin Lang of the Tigers.

Not a single pass or offload for the entire game. Stats don't tell you everything.

Twal does his job and does it very well. He is a workman.

Still, our best forward.
⭐??

[upthetigers]

Was good to get the win but our lack of support play does my head in.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

we will roll Penrith next week with no origin players

Depends how many they lose to origin...they'll still have the likes of Burton to play in the halves.

hoping no cleary or luia or to'oo

 

[Tim Sheens]

The St George coach didn't appear excited by De Bellin being available. I don't believe he will be long for that club.

There would no doubt be a split within the group on him remaining at the club, just as there is in the community, with the forum a barometer on that.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Woohoo we won

BankWest yay or nay ?

I was watching a bit of the pre-game stuff and wasn't missing the annoying levels of flashing signage or being there at all for a home game.

Definitely NAY!

The knee to Liddle?

Twal does his job and does it very well. He is a workman.

He's one dimensional.

Could take his game to the next level by developing the OCCASIONAL offload, pass out the back.

He needs support though, most the time he looks and no one is with him. He has alot of speed for a prop as well. I wish Laurie and Lids would hover near him

 

[Tigerdave]

Well, always pleasant waking up to a win

Wests Tigers fullback Daine Laurie revealed his standout performance tonight wasn't without a pre-game hiccup, which saw the young gun left stranded in the Bankwest Stadium toilets as nerves got the better of him.
Laurie was instrumental in his side's 34-18 win over the Dragons, scoring a try, setting up another, making a line-break and registering 196 run metres.
The 21-year-old, who's quickly emerged as one of the game's most exciting young Indigenous stars, admits the NRL's celebration of Indigenous Round this week left him feeling nervous before the game.
Speaking after his sparkling performance, Laurie revealed he "spewed up in the toilets" prior to the match.

"It's unreal to represent my family, culture and to run out in the jersey, it means heaps," Laurie told Nine.
"It's a big week for us Indigenous fellas.
"When I was driving here, I was getting heaps nervous. As soon I got here, I spewed up in the toilets.
"The nerves were coming through, it was awesome. I ran straight to the toilets and spewed."

Daine Laurie, James Roberts spark Wests Tigers' comprehensive Indigenous Round victory

By Zachary Gates

"He obviously managed to score two tries, too, and he loves scoring tries."
Roberts has long drawn adulation for his brilliance with the ball, but Fittler praised the running off the ball of the 28-year-old.
"I watched him from above - the amount of work. As a winger you've got to work pretty hard," Fittler said.
"I watched him chase to get back on side and then once they got the ball he actually went over to (David) Nofoaluma's side and then sprung back to the other side. He never got used, but seeing those sorts of efforts from Jimmy you know he's going to come up with tries in another part of the game because he's just thinking, 'I'm going to get out there and go as hard as I can'."

Laurie iced the most entertaining try of the night, ignited by a searching Luke Brooks run and deft short ball on the left edge 28 minutes into the contest.
Brooks put centre Tommy Talau through a gap and Talau linked with Laurie on his inside, who tore away for a try untouched.

Laurie spoke of his pride for his Aboriginal culture after the match.
"It was awesome, it was unreal (to play in Indigenous Round)," Laurie said.
"Get to represent my family and my culture and to run out in the jersey means heaps.
"Seeing all 16 teams have the designs on their jerseys is awesome and it's a really special week for us Indigenous fellas."
Michael Maguire's men took an 18-0 lead into half-time, and while the Dragons salvaged two second-half tries, through Brayden Wiliame and Ben Hunt, late resistance ensured the Tigers would wrap up victory.
