WESTS TIGERS

Ladder position/win record/points differential: 11th, 5-8, -54

Pre-season prediction: 14th

Mark: C

Three wins from their last five starts to round out the first half of the season will give Tigers fans some hope going into the back half, but it's been another year of mixed results for Michael Maguire's side.

Defensively the Tigers have shown their usual frailties throughout the year, with an average of 25.7 points conceded making them the NRL's 12th ranked defensive side, but their attack has started to come good slowly as the year has worn on.

The role new recruit Daine Laurie has played at fullback in putting more points on the board has been noticeable, while Luke Brooks and Adam Doueihi are really starting to play with more confidence.

Forwards Alex Twal and Luciano Leilua continue their development in Maguire's system, while even Joe Ofahenguae has found some after his switch from the Broncos.

Overall there have been areas of promise, but not enough to suggest the Tigers will be able to rid themselves of the 'perenially 9th' tag that has plagued them for years.

Thoughts on this?

Can't argue with it... As basic as it is

Does he know anything about Rugba Leeg - doesn't seem like it.

My highlight mid season .. 🐅

we've shown signs in every match, and that includes the Manly game. the games against the Gold Coast and Warriors were flat out embarrassing, as we really should've won both of them. our start of the season was to be expected, but I think we've found our best 17 after a couple of months treading water. if we had beaten Souths and one of the Gold Coast or the Warriors then we'd be looking very good before this run home.

if we can jag at least one of our next 3 I think we'll go close to making the 8. a few tricky games against the Warriors, Sharks and Cowboys on the run home that will indicate where this team is at. we win those, its more likely than unlikely we make finals.

Everything he said is pretty bang on the money tbf.
