Round 1, 2019

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Same old , same old , all about the TV NOT the fans. I will be lucky to see 2 games at the ground next year coming from the country. Amazing to see the Tonga experience and what effect it has on the players. To bad we see empty stadiums where all the players hear are echo's.

Wouldn't Saturday evening be good for you? It's a non work day for most either side. I agree there is a bit too much catering to the TV stations but am wondering what time slots the league should run with.

 

[TIGERPOWER]

Am thinkin we be on top of the table after round 1 👍

They might be playing des ball so that should help lol.

My Round Rd 1 side to take on Manly (with the players we currently have):
1\. Mbye 2\. Thompson 3\. Marsters 4\. Momirovski 5\. Nofoaluma 6\. Reynolds 7\. Brooks 8\. Matulino 9\. Farah 10\. Packer 11\. Matterson 12\. Garner 13\. Lawrence 14\. Mikaele 15\. Eisenhuth 16\. Twal 17\. Chee-Kam

That is 3 or 4 forwards on the bench, Chee-Kam to back up as a outside back if needed. I'm interested to see how Thomas Mikaele, Oliver Clark and Dylan Smith go in the trail games pre-season. Pretty sure Mikaele is going to start in the top grade for us this season (2019).

Lets see who is coaching both sides first :laughing:

 

[Geo]

WESTS Tigers 51 Manly Scum 0…

 

[TSupps05]

Manly won't be a push over!!! Typical us will lose but beat the Chooks the next week

 

[newtiger]

The actual release had us playing at either Campbelltown or Leichhardt. Not sure it has been determined yet but happy to be told I’m wrong if I misread it.

That’s what I read on NRL.com.

 

[TheDaBoss]

we surprised everyone last year by winning our first two against roosters and storms, not sure about this year tho, i would like storm to miss out on the top 8 and for manly to get the spoon

 

[innsaneink]

The full draw is released today I think.
My guess is well play Eels, Panthers Dragons and maybe Chooks at WSS

Still arrive home about 3am the next morning spoils the whole experience of the game and a good day out, 3pm kick off arrive home say9pm/10pm OK

[innsaneink]

Hahaha so maybe WE have the FIRST game at WSS

Suck that Parra!

…..The Telegraph also revealed that the holiday weekend will feature the maiden NRL game at the new Western Sydney Stadium on the Monday afternoon between Parramatta Eels and Wests Tigers.
>
Parramatta are at loggerheads with the new stadium's owner VenuesLive, and are refusing to host home games at the new ground.
>
In light of the report, it's expected Wests Tigers - who will host select home games at the new ground - will be the home side for the fixture......
