Tigers looking to square ledger
By Josh Massoud and James Phelps From: The Daily Telegraph March 17, 2010 12:00AM

AN ANGRY group of Tigers are already penning the round 20 rematch against the Sea Eagles into their diaries, along with promises of a get-square with George Rose.

Word from Concord is a couple of players are absolutely filthy with Rose and Anthony Watmough after the big forward's high shot and the war of words that ensued.

Tigers forwards Bryce Gibbs and Liam Fulton - who just happened to be concussed at the time - fired verbal missiles at the pair following the high shot on Daniel Fitzhenry.

We can't repeat what was said but Gibbs and Fulton will be leading the charge after the incident was discussed at length at a Tigers video review session yesterday.

The Brookvale encounter shapes as a throwback to the classic Silvertail-Fibros dust-ups of yesteryear, a prospect that yesterday had former Wests hardman Tommy Raudonikis salivating.

"Bring it on," he cried. "I think it's good s. .t - players chasing each other up the tunnel. Who's it ever hurt? There's nothing wrong with a square-up, but I'll believe it when I see it."

What a crap article.

Well considering the next game against Manly is going to be played at BlueTongue this year…...great research again by Josh Massoud and James Phelps.... :brick:

 

[BRET]

I am looking forward to that game all the more now

What a crap article.

What more do you expect from the Telegraph?

Inspiring and award winning journalism, quoting Tommy Raudonikis. :blush:

An article with no direct quotes just stirring the pot. A bit suprising, even for the Telegraph, but than I saw that it was written, or co-written, by Josh 'the intellectual midget, Massoud and my suprise wained completely.

That guy is lucky to have the mental power to wipe his own arse most mornings

Ok…...Im a little torn on this one.

On the down side.....last time we mouthed off Gibbs got knocked out and our pack got owned.

On the upside.....I thought it was bloody great the way the boys came in swinging to protect one of our own who got cheapied.....I just love that,and I know there were issues after the fracas with Rose and Watmough.

Sooooooooo......The boys have manned up,and now they have to walk the walk when we play them again.

I have to agree with Tommy......cant wait till we play them again..........tigesterone nearing max!!!!!!

George Rose was certainly very vocal after the event. I could hear one Tigers player say to him "Look at the replay big boy" or something like that. It was a very cheap shot and he just looked like a thug. He may have been falling but seriously, he had a clenched fist, a swinging arm and plenty of time to see where he was going to make contact.

Didn't Gibbs get Rose on the chin with a decent right hook in the brawl? That is what I saw…

 

[matty_tiepie]

i think gibbs did just get him but not enough to worry the big thug

Josh Massoud article with an insightful input by Tommy Ridiculous.

When Farah got square on Watts last year I didn't mind it, hell, Gibbs coming in to defend Fitzy I had no problem with, either. But I'd like to think we've moved on from being a club full of idiots who plan a blue before the game.

 

[crouching_tiger]

That's what it's all about!! FOREVER BROTHERS!!
Fulton and Gibbs both sticking up for their fellow teammates!!
I either hope Fulton repeats what he did on O'Donnell, or Gibbs snaps Rosey's ankle!!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

if they knew that the game would be at gosford they wouldn't of needed the tommy raudonikis quote - tommy raudonikis is synonomous in a way to Brookvale Oval - he has spilt blood there numerous times. Long live Tommy Raudonikis!

 

[innsaneink]

The balls now in their court…..hopefully it will be on _their_ minds come the next meeting.
I'd say there is the purpose behind it.

 

[Knuckles]

I thought it was vintage Manly ….. I was wondering how long it would be before we fought back. If Dallas and Tommy were still playing, it wouldn't have taken to the 80th minute.

A similiar thing happened when Tommy was coach of the Maggies in 1998 and Penrith put on the same tactics. In the return match at Cambo on a Friday night it was on for young and old !!!

Make sure you're at Gosford for the return match :smiling_imp:

 

[westTAHger]

just gives that bit more motivation to smash the silvertails.
would not be suprised if that incident is shown over and over, in pre game warm up, to " fire" the team up even more, next time they play silvertails.

 

[fainty]

I could be wrong but when the ref was trying to break up the boys I thought I heard someone say "the fat guy squashed him"

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

i think gibbs did just get him but not enough to worry the big thug

oh so close … would have been great to see gibbs lay out Rose on the bell!
