RIVALRIES.

[Demps]

Within the NRL, there is some known rivalries. For example,
Roosters vs Rabbitohs.
Melbourne vs Manly.

Every opponent is an opponent, but who are our main rival?

As @Tucker said, it's gotta be the Eels.
But I think also NQ Cowboys.
As well as, what could he a new rival in Penrith, with both clubs signing each others players.
Looking forward to the match up and how Luai and Turuva perform.

What's everyone thoughts?

I hate losing to Parra more than any other club. Definitely a huge rivalry. This one hurts!

It definitely needs to be noted and utilised moving forward.

Benji couldn't get the boys up today or they just couldn't get rolling, whatever it may be.... we need to pencil the Parra games in and really fire up for them.

They're out #1 enemy.
Maybe next time.

This game is why lots of us are slow to praise Benji.

Parramatta
and
Souths
I think are the two big rivalries for wests tigers

How could we have a rivalry with anyone????

We lose to everyone at play every day every week every month every year

That couldn't possibly lead to any rivalry in any way

We just get beat up every time we run out

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Parramatta are the worst!

 

[Winston Churchill]

The Tigers.

Doubt we could even beat a clone team they are that useless.

 

[tiger05premier]

Parramatta are the worst!

And believe it or not a team can sink even lower

We are proof that being the worst doesn't mean you are worse than the tigers

What a shit club we are

Bulldogs were always my long-term worst. I actually didn't mind the Eels as a kid because I liked Brett Kenny and Sterlo.

But Parramatta of the last 20 years or so, hate with a passion. I can only imagine if Galvin does go to Eels to partner [This word has been automatically removed] Moses... I think I would have to skip watching those matches to avoid the volcanic fury and death-riding that would spew out of my mouth. It would shame my wife and kids.

It used to be the Saints for me … growing up in the Illawarra they were untouchable. It was always nice to get one over them

Now it’s definitely the eels. I left the stadium with about 5 mins to go when Parra made it 30-22 and I’m still seething to this point haha

I used to hate the Eeels... I now just regard them as enemies.

Around Bankstown it's hard to hate the dogs, but man it's easy to want to punch Ben Hannant in the face.... It's also easy to make threats anonymously online..

Roosters just run to the top of my list. I hate how we, Souths, St George and a bunch of other clubs have had to struggle so hard but they get saved for ages with next to no members. I respect their rebuilds, but they treat their players like crap but get extreme and undeserved loyality. Just hate them.

Storm though are our rivals. There were a few years where we had a 50/50 win lost record against them even though we were getting our arses kicked.

Coming from the Balmain side Souffs will always be my most loathed club and parra are my 2nd,both clubs are beneath contempt.

I might be completely wrong however I think throughout the years it has been different teams. During the late 2000s and 2010s I would have said the Dragons. We beat them in the 2005 finals, they beat us in 2010 (this one hurted) and then we got our revenge in the 2011 semis. I've always disliked Jamie soward back then.

As for the past decade it would probably be the Eels as others have mentioned. We always play them on Easter monday and there have been significant memorable games the past few years against the Eels (on Easter monday). The very first Commbank game they completely demolished us, I remember it as the game where Moses scored the full length field try of the game and did that famous try celebration. I also remember the game with Jackson Hastings kicked the field goal to win us the game. There was also one around a decade ago where we were leading 31-0 and then they put on like 5 tries in 15 mins and the difference was the 1 point field goal Benji kicked before half time. The final score was 31-30. There was also the Benji Vs Hayne superstar rivalry back then.

If I had to say one team, I would say the Eels. We've also got quite a few ex tigers who have jumped ship only to end up wearing the Eels jersey (Mitchell Moses, Ryan Matterson, Josh Add-ocarr) which makes them more dislikable in my eyes
