I for one am pretty stoked that we played pretty average, but held our D and still got the points. About time we won a game that we shouldn't have. Lost count how many times we were the better team and lost. Just take it and concentrate on next week.
Home games coming up. Fire Up. We are third for a reason, and if the broncos deserved to win, then they should have. But they didn't. Which means they weren't good enough. It wasn't going well and we didn't panic, kept turning up and scored when it mattered. That's all that counts in the end and I think is actually a pretty good positive. We played till the end, no matter how ugly it seemed.
Cheers

wests-tigers won, it was not pretty.
the team got the two points and that's what they compete for.
if wests-tigers lost last night, we all would have been really peed off.
the game was there for the taking, and guess what, wests-tigers took it and won.
now its time to prepare and get it right for game against Titans.

Burgandy. We're sitting in third, now until we start losing, can you please shut up?
I don't care how we win. A couple of years ago the Tigers used to have this status as a 'razzle dazzle' team who would play great when we won or crap when we lost. Not to mention the inconsistent form patches we'd have. We're now on the way of working off the 'most unpredictable team in the NRL' tag.
At least this year we are grinding out wins and just getting the points. Remember you don't get extra points for winning by bigger margins, or playing razzle dazzle footy, you go and play for the two competition points and if by the end of the night you have the points, it's been a successful day.
As long as we're winning, you should be happy.

I am stoked we won…..but we played like Sh%t! We should have been pumped, ready to smash a Broncos side that was very much under-strength! But we had no intensity, no drive, no will power.
We won off one persons skill, not a team playing well. I'll take the two - but I am still pi$$ed we let T'eo get first try!!!

how many times have we been in the Broncos shoes over the years? I'm happy to take the 2 points, plenty of room for improvement, but still winning

Sorry, but do you see the first 50% of the club name? It is "Wests" and since 1908 we have consistently lost from impregnable positions. Pessimism is our culture.
In saying that, Friday night's performance was the greatest I have seen from our club since the Dragons semi of 2005\. Wests never win games such as that on Friday night.

It seems a lot of people are forgetting we don't really have a halfback - Friday nights result was crucial and I reckon we will get back to a more cohessive and professional attacking game when Lui is back.

It wasn't a pretty performance, but it was one we would've lost easily in years past.
Oh well, we've had games where the attack has been fluid, defense solid and we've still been pipped. Our attack was solid enough to score 3 tries, our defense was good enough to keep them to 2 tries and with every call going against us, was a good effort in the end.

For the most part on Friday night they were black & white witches hats, BUT they got away with it… As said in previous post it doesn't have to be pretty but atleast thier winning. Hopefully they start stringing some consistency / form when it counts, finals. Which we will be a part of if we continue to win. In previous years we would have lost the game against the Broncos. The side needs to stop going through the motions & just doing enough to win. They need to start putting the other side to the sword which may be the difference when it comes to our position in the final 8, seeing how close the comp is....Go West

Hmmmmm….....actually, I begin to question how much you understand Wests.
Friday night:
- Wet
- No halfback
- Supposed weakened opposition (ie: expected to win) - Brisbane are NEVER weak.
- Brisbane away from home
- Numerous other injuries
- Practically no ball in the second half
We would have rolled over and been belted in any of the past 5 years under these conditions. We defended brilliantly in the second half and were still in the game despite having poor territory and ball. Won the game in the final couple of minutes with neat little play. Best performance since 2005.

we already have had our run of losses where were you 5 weeks ago.
Personally the draw has favoured us but injuries havnt so i believe it has equalled itself out, as things get back to normal no more rep duties for other squads and us almost back to full strength i believe our rich vein of football will get us into the finals and unlike last year play great and play into spetember, and hopefully celebrate a victory in October
