Wests Tigers and the finals

[Kul]

The number of competition points needed to make the top 8 this year has changed since Melbourne was booted.
Regardless of this, 30 competition points would assure the Wests Tigers of making the finals.

The table below will be updated weekly.

**Round 13 Bulldogs (a):** 16pts [5th] –- 12pts required. WT must win 6 from 12 remaining
**Round 14 BYE:** 18pts [3rd] –- 12pts required. WT must win 6 from 12 games remaining
**Round 15 Raiders (h-LO):** 20pts [3rd] –- 10pts required. WT must win 5 from 11 games remaining

All interesting games.

I would hope we would get over The Bye, Canberra, Titans away & Cows as a start

 

[Bazzinator]

For mine, I'm more interested in the Dragons, Titans, Bunnies and Pamfers games to see how we stack up against the top teams. It's all well and good we make the finals, but we may as well miss out again if we get beat by those four sides. I think if we can knock off the Dragons and Penriff that may install us as genuine contenders as they seem to be the benchmark with the Storm not in the race this year.

I like how you've got them down to win all their games at Leichhardt Kul :wink:

it's a given

Our away form is actually better than our home form, we have won 8 of our last 12 away games, at home it is 6 of the last 12

I think it will be much less than 30pts to ensure a semis spot given the 8th place team will really be 9th with Melb getting no ponits despite probably winning a fair few games thus depriving others of comp points….28pts , 26 and even 24 points is what 9th have finished with in recent years...say 50% of your games which as I stated before is no massive achievment

I see us with 7 or 8 more wins minimum

 

[T-REXX]

Yeah im with u Ink.. im thinking this year the cut off will be around 26… the last 4 weeks for me is the hardest...

[Kul]

as the rounds go on we'll get more of an understand of how many points are required. It's still possible that 30 points is what is definitely required, but 28 points should do it. You are right though Ink, it could be less depending on other results.

Should we go with 28 points then? I'll edit the first post if so. It's up to you all

 

[innsaneink]

No need, its just one point of discussion in a thread that will have many twists & turns before sept.

[matty_tiepie]

being wests tigers supporters we should know that we can never take any game as i given. we are to inconsitent but if we keep going out with the same attitude that we have the last 3 weeks we can beat anyone. i am hoping that this year we will keep the right attitude and give the comp a real shake.
carn the tigersssss

 

[steven_tiger]

We have a VERY tough run into the finals. Those last 5 weeks are going to be huge. Hopefully we continue our good form from now so we don't have to win 80% of those games to just make the semis.

 

[wt4lyf]

i hate saying anything about the tigers and the finals….
few rounds we look like we could really be premiership contenders, but then we just seem to stop the steamtrain...
hopefully thats not the case his year, we have a very strong chance :slight_smile:

CMON BOYSS! YOU CAN DO IT..
GO THE TIGERSSSS!!!!

[KingOvKingz09]

Iam confident we can make it…

 

[Guest]

If the Tigers aim up each week they should be able to do it. There are some good players due to return from injury and the Tigers while in solid form, can definitely play better, and will need to against some of these sides, such as the Dragons, Broncos, Souths and Penrith. It should provide for some very exciting matches too.

 

[diedpretty]

I think after the bye they need to win 2 of next 3 games to give them the confidence to go on with the job - although i think to stamp their authority on the comp they need to win all 3 including away against the dragons and the broncs - a big ask but if achieved they will be considered as genuine contenders.
