Funny I've watched this game twice in the last week off that "essentials" DVD 😱pen_mouth:

60 sleeps…
 
Round 16 2013 v Storm at Leichhardt 22/4
Simona's 90m try Ashford's big slide to score Benji also sliding over to score.
Any win over the salary cheats is great.

What a game, went to all the semi's and missed the big dance - the GF. The good wife had booked a family trip away gf weekend. It was tigers or the family - still not sure if I made the right call :smiley:

But the first final against the Cowboys and this one against the dragons were outstanding, I carried my then 5 year old from the car park to our seats on my shoulders and on the way back he wouldn't sit still fidgeting and wanting to high five other fans, it was a great night.

Bugger you missed the big one, but sounds like you've got plenty of good memories from the semis! Heres hoping the next ones aren't too far away

Would have liked to have seen the round 20 2003 game v the knights where benji made his debut or given last years results one of the games where we carved up the sharks.

The Sharks game was one of the few games I have seen the other team cheering and clapping our play. It was attacking football at its very best with Prince and Benji have one hell of a day out and it has to be noted the Sharks at home is a never easy

I was there that night also. Very little expectations, but wanted to be there for our first semi, so flew down.

My mate was absolutely giving it to Rauhihi that night. He looked around a couple of times, like, "Gee, that bloke really doesn't like me."

I was only 1 at the time :bawling
I have lived my whole life without really seeing a tigers premiership

Thought theyd have the Warriors game where we scored a tonne of points in the second half to steal it.

With Gaz Ellis' inside flick pass to Benji? That was an unreal game.

Surprised the Cowboys game from last year isn't there either.

Actually CB , makes you think why Fox don't give us a list of games we can vote on to watch

Would create some interest for desperate fans wanting to get a fix of footy from their clubs

Probably told this story before but I was going to go to this game but was waiting for my AM to organize relief for me

He organized the relief and then forgot to ring me :bash

I had the last laugh , he is a massive Cowboys fan (and Easts Tiger junior ) :smiley:

At least you were alive, old wests supporters like myself never seen their team win a comp as the last one was 1952, so I was 39 when Weststigers won.
Balmain supporters were not much luckier,1969 for them, so in away you are not to bad, hopefully mate things will change in the next few years

I have watched my team play in 6 grand finals winning 2 (1969 and 2005).The agony of seeing your team lose one is something i would not wish on any genuine supporter especially if you dont make the gf very often.
Lets hope for good memories from here on in
 
I watched the 2005 grand final at wests leagues Campbelltown, where apparently the local constabulary had told them if they served full strength beer all day, they would be shut down at the first sign of any trouble.
I got to drink "Tigers gold" which was XXXX gold on tap with a tigers emblem stuck over the top. Worst beer I have ever tasted, but it was worth it to watch the victory.

Lol, I made that Video when I was about 17\. Typos everywhere.
 
The atmosphere was something I'd never experienced… Still get chills watching that.
The songs a tad too slow and morose tho.... Suitable I guess for the dragons fan who I picture watching that with tears streaming down their face
 
5:30pm Wests Tigers: 2000 Rnd 21, Eels v Wests Tigers

I think this is the game Michael Gillet scores a double including a charge down try. Parra score on the siren and miss the conversion from the sideline to draw the game.
