Groat was again very good. Woring really hard and leading from the front.
Played the first 40 in one stint, played first 15 of the second, had about 8 - 10 off and finished the game in his last stint. Obviously wanting to improve his fitness.
Inno might be in trouble for a lifting tackle, Masada for a high shot and Luani for fighting. Which will leave no recognised hookers at all if both cop a week. That said I liked the aggro, they didn't start anything but they finished it.
Miller was excellent last night and Jack Madden is a bit of an unsung hero. He gets the job done and improves every week. Same can be said for Bullock.
Hitchcox has been recovering from his ankle issues and also has been hard pressed getting into the team considering the depth of talent. He came on and made that immediate difference though.
One more big game to go. Can't help but notice that somehow the NSWRL favourite sons the Newtown Jets were allowed to move their mid week game to the full comp Bye weekend where no other team was granted such a request.
What it means for Wests Tigers is that rather then play a team in the same position of having a mid week game this Sunday the Knights didn't have to play that game and are fresher and better prepared. It is utter BS

Judging by the stints Groat has been getting over the past 3-4 games, and by performance levels, his return to the nrl is imminent now. Would have to be a chance of getting a run v Souths next week i'd think. Certainly his levels are increasing game by game. Is next week too soon? Time will tell but either way, he's not far off now.

Collection of my photos from last night
"Matt Groat had a solid performance in the forward row tonight, made some great metres and got Wests Tigers moving forward."
"Matt Groat a stand out tonight, showed great ball skills by keeping it alive with this last second offload"
"I thought Inno Inosesio had a massive impact on the game tonight. Ran with heart and took the defence on without fear "
"Wests Tigers head coach, Mick Potter and CEO Stephen Humphreys watching at Leichhardt"
"Sean Meaney great on goal line defence, top effort to get under the ball and stop this Cutters try"
"Taqele Naiyaravoro diving over in the corner for his hat trick for Wests Tigers"

Hitchcox is not the biggest player going around. But he would be the quickest in State Cup team and only Koribete in the NRL team would be faster. He is very dangerous in attack.sound defense, great step and gives it a red hot go. One of those players who could score from anywhere on the field.
His form last year had me thinking he would have been a better bet in the NRL team then players like Reddy, Utai , Ainscough. I Will be interesting to see how he goes now that he is back.

The team photo has a framed half City half Country jersey in front of them, what was the relevance?.

@barra said:So… Miller is involved in all the scoring.
And we've shown him the door.
Wasn't it Miller's choice to leave for Hull FC as he felt that he wouldn't be able to re-gain his NRL position with the coming threat of Brooks & Moses?, disappointed that he decided to leave as the more pressure for the vacant half back position the better.

The game firstly was a re-scheduled fixtures from the City v Country round. That is also why they were wearing blue and gold socks. Each winning team in the City v Country Round was given the jersey, to help promote the game

It will be a monstorous effort if they can somehow get up today. 3 games against big, physical opposition of quality over 7 days is a huge task
