Premiership winning teams don't do that!

Premiership winning teams don't let in five tries in 12 minutes! Pathetic I say. We starting on everyone's dial now people would laugh in your face if you thought Tigers could win this year.

At least we got the two premiership points.
 
two premiership points means nothing when you let spastic like parramatta run a muck in the last 14 minutes. Lucky there was no time left on the clock or otherwise we would have had our tails between our legs again after surrender a big lead in the back end of the game. There is no chance in the world we are going to go anywhere near the top eight.
 
Some of the team have to ask themselves, why they are running around for eighty minutes and not look like they care about the result, a lapse in focus is one thing, but, 30 points in 16 minutes is "wrong", isn't it funny, in my work if I don't perform I am in danger of being turfed, as I suspect a lot of other people on this forum could relate to, but some of these players can perform half assed and still turn up next week. This type of attitude would send shivers through the HR departments of many organisations / companies, so if we have people thinking that they just need to show up to get paid, we have real problems, two points is good but not a positive sign. C'mon Wests.
 
The Dragons conceded five tries in 16 minutes to Canberra in their 2010 premiership season. And they didn't win the game.

it's funny how it is only a regular season game and where cranky it;'s all because of F and A it means something

Yeah it was different for the Dragons - it was much worse. They were narrowly winning a game in the second half then absolutely collapsed to concede five tries in 16 minutes. They weren't, as you suggest, "getting flogged" (or not until _after_ they conceded five tries in 16 minutes anyway). Do you really think it's _worse_ to concede five quick tries in a game you cannot lose than to concede five quick tries to go from winning narrowly to being battered?

Oh yeah, and let's not forget the Warriors last season. They coughed up four tries in 15 minutes to lose to us at home in a game they had been much the better team in for well over an hour. Then they end up playing a grand final after turning us over with a late try in the finals. Obviously they should just have packed up after the Mount Smart embarrassment and admitted that since good teams don't do that there wasn't any point in carrying on with the season.

Look, don't get me wrong: the end of the game yesterday was horrible and it certainly isn't something you'd expect to see very often from a good side. But to claim that these kind of things never happen to decent teams is simply untrue - in fact one of the most dominant premiership winning sides of recent memory did exactly the same thing in the last two years with a worse outcome (ie: they lost the game).

You know what? I'll take 31-0 up in the grand final with 15 to go right now. If we get to that position and lose I'll buy each and every forum contributor (minimum 100 posts, say) a shiny new bike.

I guess this game was a bit like the bulldogs round 2 game in 05 leading 36 18 and winning by 1 (at least we didn't ahve to deal with golden point or kick a field goal)

You will find this is the greatest ever comeback of all time even with the loss.

I know that 26-0 is the record and the cowgirls won that game against panthers, but I bet this is the biggest ever margin a team has come back from and closest they have gone.

Note warriors made the grand final last year and played us a team 2 games from the GF when they blew the lead
Note dragons never win in Canberra and didn't the raiders finish top 8 that year? oh yeah they were on fire that time of year we had to knock them out in Canberra!

we just let a 31-0 with 13 to go go to 31-30 by the wooden spooners with the worst 5/8 and halfback in the comp worst attacking team in the comp etc

The most bizarre thing is we didn't concede a point for the previous 147mins.

You know what, that is an interesting point, tiga. It takes a damn good effort to hold any team to nil in a game these days, but to do it for almost 2 games would be both physically and mentally taxing. Perhaps once the first try came, the flood gates opened because the pressure was released - just a thought, but I'm probably just trying to make myself feel better :wink:

And I think he meant a push bike, stryker, but nice try anyway :laughing:
