NRL Wests Tigers your second team

[Wrighty]

There is a West Tigers NRL thread already so I will understand if the mods merge this. However I believe a West Tigers supporters (2nd team) thread would have a unique group of posters and posting theme so should be stand alone.

Reasons to support this team
Benji is the coach
Starford plays for them as does Bunty
Down on its luck side now jump on board now before it is fashionable to do so.

Post in this thread if you are "in" and on board the Tigers train for 2026.

I used to live close to Leichhardt Oval
When I moved further west I supported them right through till 95
By 1990 I moved back to Nz for 17 years so being an Aucklander by birth the Warriors are my team now
Titans are second living on Gc
And tigers are sentimental third that even more defined by long time Warrior Bunty moving there for 26

Love: Warriors
Like: Tigers, Titans, Dolphins
Utterly despise: Bulldogs
Despise: Sharks, Storm, Broncos
Dislike: the rest

Wests Tigers have always been a team I wanted to do well.
Can never shake the little brother underdog status.
In the last 10 years they have released/lost some amazing players who played for them first.
Andrew Fifita
Matt Lodge
Mitch Moses
James Tedesco
Luke Brooks
Josh Ado Carr
Ryan Papanhuizen
Just to name a few

After all the "We owe the Warriors" Covid wankfest, Tigers actually did something and brought one of their home games here in '23. Soft spot for them since.

Gotta like Benji

05 Tigers were fucking beautiful.

Last of the real free flowing footy teams before Bellamys salary corp rorters turned the game into a defensive wrestle fest.

**Could be remembering it with rose tinted glasses.

They weren’t a particularly big pack and had two halves who couldn’t tackle.
You may be right.

Very mobile pack too back then.
Don’t mind the tigers- they’d be in my top 5

Wahs
Titans
Bears
Panthers
Tigpies

Lived in Campbelltown in the late 80’s early 90’s so the Magpies were my local team, we were pretty much shit every year until Warren Ryan turned up and I got to watch them in a seminar the old SFS

Already had a soft spot for them before bunty, him going there has cemented them as my second team.
Would love to see benji have success as a coach.
And the whole lachlan galvin fiasco.... Nothing against the young fellow but everytime the Tigers do well is like a big F u to his manager Isaac Moses who I do think is a cancer to the game.
