Team List Wests Tigers v NZ Warriors - [Round 4, 2026]

100% Boyd has been a lot better. Don't get me wrong if he keeps going I am all in. I am just surprised how quick people are to jump. Boyd has shown to be quite shakey when things are tight. We haven't seen that tested yet. I also worry that we are in a situation where things might have to go really south before we change back to what was working.

Mate, my suggestion is ride the good vibes.

The question marks over him got him a contract extension and good enough form to crab his way to the top of the dally m table albeit cut short by injury. Just let him get back and answer all the questions this week.
I said it used to annoy me until Webby fixed the problem and he became a daly M player. The same is happening with Boyd. His choking used to annoy me now look at him ⭐
 
The Tigers beat the Rabbitohs in most stats in their loss to the bunnies. They had 54% possession, 45 tackles in Rabbitoh's 20m zone while Rabbitoh's only had 16 inside Tigers 20m and they lost. Tigers are a team that's building but they're still a fair way off and not consistent enough week to week. I just can't see them competing with us at home if we play anything close to the level we have the last 3 weeks.

Biggest change from last year for me was Webster mentioning that all the boys came back fit from break which allowed us to focus more on ball playing and strategy which is really showing in the way we play in the middle and our go forward and our momentum doesn't stop when our starters come off. Also the boys seem to be really zoned in wanting to give Barney a good send off at the end of year. Just hope we can maintain it all year.

TBH Rabbitohs almost lost that game by themselves. The 8 pt try, giving away the penalty straight off the kick off to surrender the lead at 16-14 and giving away a penalty in the final set of the game to give the Tigers one last crack. Souths also had like 4 players pull out the day before the game which is why MGT got a start. Everything went their way for that game so they only have themselves to blame. We won't give them anywhere near those amount of opportunities.
 
lol - when Kai Piece Paul is a starter your pack is not top tier... May has been stodgy this year, i rate Pole and Fainu though .. Koroisau is their man, but how many years has he got on him now?
Compare the forward pack they have named for tomorrow against the one we bashed last year at MSS. They are almost identical except KPP for Sukkarr. I don't get the hype around their forward pack.

Stacey on Sports Nation this afternoon said Metcalf was ready to go at round 1 but they held him back. He's had 3 weeks full contact since and is right to go.
Have to do some research but if that was the case and he did return in round 1. Would that be the fastest acl return in NRL history?

Curious to know what was working during the back end of 25?
 
Won't laugh at them, wasn't that long ago where I'm sure we came across like that too.

I try to give them benefit of doubt but I don’t think we were that crazy if we are playing say if dolphins put 50 on storm the week before lol
