Official Wests Tigers 2021 Rise of the 9th thread

Where's Winny?

Everytime I bet against them they win, If I bet on them they lose. I need to see the Tigers win another premiership more than my kid needs braces.

Glad you enjoyed yourself WT, and even better that we won for you despite it not looking good for the first 15min.

Thanks man

I was glad Titans took the shot at 12-0. I would've taken it, but my mate was saying go for the try. Probably would've scored the way things were going.

The saying "do what your opponent doesn't want you to do" could've applied there.

I said the refs will get us back in it, they won't let us get screwed here. Think we got the next 3 or 4 penalties. The Peachy one to Titans was clearly some bullshit even from the other end though.

EDIT: We got the next 5 penalties after that goal. Great reffing imo, not sure what all the complaints were about besides Peachy's

Sad you mentioned that, as up until 5:30pm yesterday I thought we were a genuine chance at knocking off the Storm and Roosters.

The Roosters are vulnerable this week, they only have a 50% win record at home this year and at 5-0 in the last 5 games are due. We beat them last year and we'll do it again.

Smith, Sutton and Thurston's testimonial games has opened up a can of worms at the Tigers as double standards have denied 2 Tiger legends a testimonial match.

What a crock of shit.

I heard this rumoured last week but it wasn't confirmed that it was because they weren't 1 clubbers. Does anyone know what the actual criteria is ?

Whatever they feel like at the time. The one club thing didn't seem to bother anyone with Thurston.

yeah wow what absolute horse shit.

Benji has brought as many kids through the gates as much as anyone in the history of the sport. The blokes have won GFs and have been some of the most popular players in the recent history (benji obviously a bit more than farah).

If the criteria is "have to play for 1 club" then wtf why did thurston get one??? horse shit. This is something that the fans need to hound the NRL about, why do they get to set the criteria as to who deserves a testamonial send off match? The fans are the one that pays the NRL's bills, the fans should be the ones who dictate it. I dont think anyone would have an issue with benji getting a good send off (and farah to a lesser extent)

Yeah the club officially (fans unofficially) should be the ones who decide who our "club legends" are.

I despise the Dragons and dislike the Rabbits almost as much, but still cheered on Benji when he was there and Farah for the 5 minutes he spent on the field for Rabbits.

Whoever the gumby that made that decision is, is fkn clueless.

I couldn't have said it any better myself Pieman, your spot on.

Michael Chee Kam found guilty of assaulting an Ola driver in late 2018 and fined $2K and put on a 12 month bond.

Since he had his career game against the Broncos including the match winner on full-time, and likely should have been suspended from that game by the NRL, it seems like the fairest thing to do would be to award the Broncos the 2 points for that game.

Explains why no one on the Broncos could tackle him, since he wasn't actually there.

Good call Dip but it really only partly rectifies MCK's transgressions against the poor, blighted Broncos and their mental state since that loss.

Probably fair to also award draws against the Raiders and Bunnies while they are at it.

In all seriousness though.


Slap a cabbie
MCK - 2 week ban & $2K & 12m Good behaviour

Touch a thigh
Scott Bolton - 5 weeks & chat with players & 12m Good behaviour

So games are worth about $700 and the chat thing was a bad idea ??

Always a bit tricky when you start comparing apples with oranges.

I did think this was a good, proactive approach by the NRL ahead of magic round though:

Apples & oranges ? Both were common assault charges.

I just wonder if it's like the election and you can pre poll. If your a blonde female under 24 you can register your complaint early to avoid any delay on the night.
