LIVE GAME Round 8 v Raiders

[TV Ted Ellery]

3 games with early guilt plea 🤬

There must be loading for his prior offences because on the face of it, it deserved 2 games max.

But the fact that Api's hipdrop and SuA's horrific shoulder charge to the head last week attract the same suspension are a damning indictment on the NRL judiciary system.

At the start of the year we’d have said that about Twal, Hunt, KPP, and probably a couple of others. To’a’s first game last night. Given how many players have gone to new levels this year, I would wait and see what he brings over the next few weeks before dismissing him. He’s always shown glimpses.

Can not believe now Twal was extended at 400K a year what a bargain who would have guessed

Royce not only ran at him, he stepped him.

Funniest thing I've seen in a long time.

Im enjoying all this anti Tigers stuff.

I always knew I was a bad loser but didn't realise I'm also a bad winner until we started winning.

He was good last night man . What are you talking about . His footwork at the ad line was causing them problems . I Think that’s harsh

What's gone unnoticed is his defensive improvement as well. His tackle efficiency has risen from around 87% to 93%.

 

[Betterdays22]

You are much too kind, it's more like 1 good game in 4 seasons.

Just cannot fathom what Benji sees in him.

When we were good last year, To'a was a central part of that. Then he picked up some niggles and his form dropped.

People have very short memories

 

[Betterdays22]

They are just a completely different team… they haven’t given up more than 22 pts in a game … I have never seen a Wests Tigers team defend like this

In attack… they are out gaining the opposition in metres gained per set each week which again is pretty uncharted territory…

Thats despite teams conceding way more points on average this year. Its even more impressive than it looks

I wasn't a bad loser..but have been an absolute pest at work today. Sledged about 5 people (they deserve it for past behaviour). I was also very ungracious (to extended family) after the win over Parra. Anyway enjoy the ride unapologetically.

Thats such an over reaction...3 games for nothing

Whose cocky? Seeing a lot of this on Twitter from opposition supporters that just because we’ve got something to cheer about for the first time in well over a decade that we are being cocky. Might as well just not show any emotion at all.

whatever floats your boat. If you can’t see how those actions can be perceived by others then I can’t help you. Not saying it’s right or wrong.

My non tigers mates are all riding the wave with me atm so I’m certainly lapping it up.

What a joke

 

[Betterdays22]

Cronulla fans have done it in winning a final at Canberra Stadium.

Fans of a perennially losing team that's suddenly winning, and mocking it at home after a rare win against them is what is obnoxious.

Let opposition teams do what they want. These things bring a vibe to the game, no matter where they 'borrow' it from. Seriously, the amount of focus on other teams and supporters by Wests Tigers fans is cringe.

How about we focus on the good things our club is doing. I like how GNR 'Welcome to the Jungle' is now bedded in as the run-out track. And it's great that Gala's 'Freed from Desire' is taking off as the try-scoring celebration. Supporters have begun to realise it. But it's not original - the Broncos do The Fratelli's 'Chelsea Dagger', and they ripped off a try/goal/touch down celebration song off hundreds of sports teams before them.

Welcome the Jungle is so much better than Eye of the Tiger

Rewatching the game.

Played really well with moments of silly.

Great attitude
Strong defense

Plenty of improvement yet.

 

[Spartan117]

Faster play the ball and a bit more composure

There are two failed off loads early in sets

I was on the hill and thought the clap mocking was fair game, but the "f#$@ Canberra" chant was really really poor.

Our fans looked like a bunch of wankers for doing that. Poor form and lack of class 7 games into the season and bunch of wooden spoons to our name...a bit of humility would be better.

Biggest problem is that Api is becoming a serial offender. 🙁

Yep I was there, it was really poor. But pouring out of the pubs it's probably the most pissed hill in the comp, no families etc.

So seriously silly to be getting upset about pissed idiots (who have no experience with winning).

I think so

Yes, went off for cat 2 HIA and failed test.
Looked fine on the bench. Was laughing and joking + jumping with the boys.
With 10 day turn around if no symptoms in next 24hrs he could be right for game against Sharks.

Yep, not worried about the head knock - but what the Medical heck is that growth on KPP's right shoulder? Is it an implant?
