The Cronulla game when Benji ran riot sticks in my mind ,,and the saints semi where Deno played probably his best ever game of footy
One of our best wins?

I wouldnt say one of the best, it was a great escape to say the least..
Might cop flak but my best memories are when Benji won us games we had no hope of winning..
Not discrediting these lot and yesterdays win was well deserved ..

Reminiscent of being a Balmain fan in the mid-late 90's. The rare upset amongst a multitude of comprehensive losses which is what made following a poor team so special.
Even when things were going wrong and we lost our way, they were trying. That's all I ask.

Well I'm not too proud to admit that I put a post in the "live game" thread yesterday late in the first half about feet for hands, poor defence and being wooden spoon worthy.
It got to me because we have been putting in the good fight for months now and I was witnessing the "old" form again.
Fool me for doubting what Cleary has been building. Great win guys.

Crowd certainly got into the match, better than some of the results at LO of late, some of the disappointing losses.
For LO matches though I don't think you can go past the Storm game, and we've had a few good ones against the Storm, but the one where we were up by 2 and Cronk put a kick in touch, almost came off as a try for the winger. Then Benji put a move on from the scrum and put Lawrence away; I was on the hill actually so I couldn't see if Lawrence initially as he sprinted down the hillside line. Slater come across in cover and the crowd went mental when Slater dived and came up with thin air.
Never heard a Leichhardt crowd go so mad, though yesterday was pretty good from 12K folks, but that night the crowd went truly mental, you can hear it on the tape and I'll never forget what it sounded like live.

To those who were being negative in the game day thread, I wouldn't be apologetic, it's natural to be rather negative when things are going wrong. We're so used to seeing this team capitulate and phone it in so it is second nature to just assume things will get worse.
It will take time for Cleary and the team to erode that mindset from the fans.

agree ink, whilst it isnt important in the scheme of making finals etc i think yesterday was a massive win as far as belief and culture goes for next year.
i also feel that as a supporter base getting a win like that, big come back, top 8 side, traditional home ground was such a big thing
it definetly gives you a lot of hope for next year knowing we have the character to win a game like that. usually we're the team giving up those leads

I think it was our best and most important win this year for several reasons. It was a just reward for several, recent strong efforts (the team are definitely playing for Ivan), it was against a strong, highly favoured Manly side and, it was on the hallowed turf of Leichhardt and, finally, it probably staved off the spoon. I felt proud to be a Tiger fan, watching them fight back!
