Since this post he lost another one.
Must have backed the Titans.

It’s tragically amazing how many top tier players have played for the Wests Tigers in the last 10 years.
You could almost have a hybrid team of SOO/ Kiwi reps.
Had some useful coaches too, Cleary, Maguire, Sheens, Potter.

Is it just me or does Luai kind of suck now? Did playing with Cleary hide some of his deficiencies as an attacking half?

It’s funny as many of his supporters claimed he was the one carrying Cleary and the reason for Penriths early season issues

I think at the start of the year when Penrith were struggling and we were doing well and Tigers were doing ok, the argument was that Luai and JFH were the key to the Penrith 4peat success. Maybe Luai didn't have the best attacking stats as a half just like JFH didn't have the best run meters. But like JFH he'd be instrumental in building a strong team culture that would lead to long term success at the Tigers. I think the longer that this season has gone on, JFH was really more influential in the culture stuff.

Not going to lie. Might be a spoon bowl game, but it is quite entertaining. Tits know how to attack when they aren't busy being poo.

I liked Jack Bird a lot at Cronulla.
Injuries have wrecked him yet he still manages to pick up contracts due to his supposed versatility.
But he is underwhelming now wherever he slots in.

needs to retire. He is just not up to it anymore.

So how did we concede three tries to this mob last week? They are struggling to crack the worst defense in the NRL atm lol.

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Des gone now. Officially out of finals contention and clause activated.

 

[Beastmode]

Great win Tigers!

Hopefully that wrecks the Titans next Friday

Tits snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

Jezuz christ - were they trying to fuck that up ?!... move it to the edges when they should've been going straight up teh middle for teh fg

Luai was epic in the last 15 minutes.
Even earlier he was everywhere defensively and covering.

I’m happy for the ball to be moved around rather than the lame hit ups leading to the standard drop goal attempt.

 

[Tookey 2.0]

Wow what an ending. Tigers did their best to lose that. The set up for the drop goal was atrocious

Tits snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

We used to be guilty of that. No more.

 

[tajhay]
