What's going to happen round 1

[rustycage]

All I know is we won't get done by 40 again

If everyone brings there member scarfs you can sruff them into thr Viking horn at start of match to silence it

Any left over can be used ro tie hands behind backs to silence the clap

 

[GNR4LIFE]

If only other clubs supporters could read the OP. They’d get a good laugh out of someone putting us on par with a top 4 side

 

[turkeytiger03]

Really not sure what’s going happen in this one. Hopefully we’re on par with rd1 and 2 of 2018 when we silenced the chooks and the cheetahs.
We do have a better squad now, but would love to be full strength for once. I’d take a close loss because it’s a long season but no hammering please.

You do realise that the horn makes no sound right?

 

[Masterton]

I’m confident we’ll roll Canberra in round 1

Considering our unacknowledged pack improvement and our usual round 1 form, I reckon you'll get overs if you're brave enough to bet on us.

Yes lol

Was just a dumb humour attempt

After a fairly even 1st half, the gruelling off-season pays dividends when the Raiders forwards start to show signs of fatigue and our boys start to gain the upper hand.
Repeat sets through Brooksy's boot, dummy half scoots and Laurie's fleet-footed forays as he pushes up around the ruck sends the pressure gauge up to maximum.
With the home side up by 2, the Tigers work the ball into the attacking zone and score out wide through a brilliant off-load by Lucky Luc to put us ahead on the scoreboard.
Sticky's men do their best to rally.
Papa goes beast-mode, Wighton strikes at the line like an Eastern Brown, the Englishmen throw themselves into the fray in a valiant effort to ensure victory on the hallowed turf of Bruce Stadium.
But alas, it's to no avail.
For, these magnificent men in Black, White and Gold desperately repel the attackers, raid after raid and grow in stature with every small victory.
By now, the signs are telling, and errors creep into the home sides game.
The pressure mounts.
Risks are being taken through sheer desperation.
Then it happens... a sloppy ball goes to ground from a disjointed Canberra attack and is scooped up by none other than Jimmy The Jet....
And away he goes, the earth scorched in his wake. None come close, neither defenders nor support players, as he breaks the sound barrier on his way to his first Wests Tigers four-pointer under the black dot.
The whole on-field team swamps him while the bench and fans spread far and wide erupt in celebration for a man who has faced such adversity and deserves to be back on top.
He's the man of the moment, but by no means the only hero in a Wests guernsey.
From here on in it's all one way traffic as the Mighty Tigers take the game by the scruff of the neck, continue their dominance until the full-time siren sounds and take their first step in silencing the doubters, the knockers, the disbelievers... and hand them the recipe for humble pie.


Anyway, thats what me and Johnny Walker reckon...

Post of the year!

I thought that you needed penicillin to control the clap.

Sportsbet have us at $3.60 and $1.88 with 10.5 pts at the line. That is overs in my opinion.

Article the day after the game..

“Canberra Raiders no chance against a new look Wests Tigers”

Honestly I believe that we’ll win big, instead of the previous years when we vs the Raiders losing 50 > some amount.

For the try’s I’ll go

Nofa
BJ
Liddle
Brooks

Brooks/Douie 4/4

 

[BZN]

Raiders have a powerful forward pack and a gun hooker. Tigers have an equally powerful forward pack with two gun hookers. Raiders have a talented but unreliable half, Tigers same. Raiders have a big, fast, talented 5/8. So do Tigers but he's suspended. Raiders have a popular goal kicking centre who is slow as a wet week paired with a drunk who may or may not perform on game day. Tigers have a beastly former centre of the year and the fastest man in the world, both of whom may or may not perform on game day.
Tigers have a nearly top try scoring winger on one side and another winger on the other. Raiders have two wingers. Raiders have Charnze, we most likely have Daine.

5 minutes to go, Liddle takes off from dummy half against a tiring Raiders pack, drops it back inside to a supporting Simpkin who draws Charnze and put Laurie over under the posts. Who care who's kicking goals because we're 12 in front anyway and if we miss from right in front, doesn't matter.

Good post @tigerballs...You're an entertaining story teller.

You got my vote! Everyone loves a fairytale haa! But wouldn't be amazing... the players would rightly go off!

 

[Spartan117]

The First 4 games are hard on paper but totally win-able if we are **disciplined** and play a **composed** style of footy even if we fall behind.

 

[TrueTiger]

Wests Tigers will beat the Raiders with an astonishing amount of speed,discipline and courage...not seen in years at the club...the sporting world will be left in awe...
