LIVE GAME Round 3 vs. Sharks

[Demps]

I thought his Dolphins ""contract" had conditions that were not quite finalised? He played like he had a point to prove tonight.

Wishful thinking I'd say

No idea tho

Staines is the only one I would drop.
I see no use for Sullivan.
I called it when we signed Sezer he would be perfect was us - the guy is an established half and can manage a team.

Don’t be surprised if he is kept on with us next year. I would almost not be surprised if he stays at 7, Luai at 6 and Galvin to the centres.

Our two best players are our oldest - Koroisau and Sezer

The SALAD was great I said at the start of the year he is the 7 with a youngr fit and faster 5/8

Great team performance featuring some really classy and committed efforts. Also credit to the coaching staff - I think John Morris enjoyed that win

 

[Kaito]

Been busy with the kids lol glad to be back though miss all my Wests tigers brothers and sisters

Blood in blood out 🫡

 

[Savvy]

Have to give Pole a special mention. He makes a difference and I think will only get better!

One of my favourite players. Love how hard he runs the ball.

What a thumping win honestly couldn’t pick a bad player out, obviously Api was outstanding head and shoulders MOM by a distance. Bula was terrific Galvin had an awesome game the pack were dominant Fainu really rolled up his sleeves for a young bloke. Early season win Benji’s first the boys should be on cloud nine and we’re in the 8…

Easy to forget he is only what, 21?

Absolute beast.

 

[Kaito]

Wait until Latu shows up on the scene...smh

Benji had a big test tonight and he passed with flying colours. He needed a performance early on to instill confidence into what he’s selling and he got it.

Yep.... It's exactly what we needed... He touched on last week's poor start in an interview before the game... That he wanted them to start well like the rest of us.
Finally they responded, all on the same page it seems this week... Let's hope it continues, effort and attitude regardless of results, play like tonite often and the results will be positive

There is 6/7 really good young players at the Tiger's who are much better than average

 

[innsaneink]

There is winning but tonight was how we did it & the team we did it against.

We played tough quality team footy for 80mins something we have all been crying for.

We bashed the Sharks off the park.

We gave up the lead but didn’t let it shake us.

We should all enjoy tonight that was brilliant.

That was very un wests tigers like but I hope that becomes what we get use to.

Well said MT

 

[BZN]

Just takes one BS penalty that leads to a try and causes a capitulation

It has in the past with the old WT's.
But we now have the new and improved gold plated Benji Edition 🏆
Yeh!!! Go WESTS Tigers 🎆🧨🎇🧨

View from behind the posts. It's not the strategic view point but really good to see physicality:

Pole went all game non stop and looked comfortable. He is special.

Papalii was absolutely gassed after 4 minutes in the second half. Hopeless getting back and crouched over a lot. He needs to get in shape.

Fainu is an absolute athlete. Speed, size, skill. He is a fantastic fantastic signing. You could play him at prop, 2nd row, lock and probably centre as well. I don't think we've had a forward like him before.

Bateman really eager in the tackle and when tackled. He just seems unrelenting.

Sezer looked in control. Kicking never looked threatening but always was awkwardly placed. He was controlling everything. I haven't seen a halfback performance like that from one of ours for a long time. You can see the way the team felt confident because of him.

API just incredible. You watch the way he jinks and darts and the whole defensive line gets turned inside out.

Bula took a huge amount of kicks under pressure. Most were contested in the second half. It was incredible to watch. He glides.

The ref seemed to be very tolerant of sharks slowing the play the ball.

Sharks had success against us with centres cutting back inside. It looked like they'd open us up a number of times.

 

[Tito Santana]

Thought Fainu was a gun tonight.

This could be a great season.

I’d bring in Latu Fainu to replace Sullivan and will be watching Lobb closely tomorrow to replace Staines.

Atmosphere was fantastic!

Jealous Suzi. Back up in the Northern Rivers & loving it. Leichhardt oval the only thing I miss about Sydney.

I think his brother could end up the buy of the season

 

[Moh]

Sullivan will become excess very quick. Panic signing.

Backup fullback at best.

6’4 and 115kg’s. Would have hated to see his parents grocery bill as he was growing up.
