The Tigers opening batters need to get the Tigers off to a good start in their innings - Looks a tricky wicket so can't afford to lose early wickets in their run chase of the Raiders 0-42
is it really a rule to post on non roosters, but nrl related material ?
the thread is a fair appraisal , the tigers suck. hairy. balls .
Yeah the Tigpies suck but I've got nothing against them as a team right now (partly because they suck).
Happy to sledge Souffs or the Drizz but sledging the Tigpies in their current position seems a bit mean spirited to me. Will gladly buy any Tigpies fans a beer... the devoted fans who turned up to see them get smashed every weekend deserve a MASSIVE Mad Monday party.
(Actually I have two mates who NEED a beer catch-up! Will call them up tomorrow. Both are solid blokes who always helped me when I was down. Both can have a beer or two on me).
geez the Roosters were a basket case for most of the 80s and 90s so im not going to kick any team while they are down.....but fked if i know how the Tigers struggle with such a vast junior base at their disposal.
Sydney Water crews are responding to reports of a significant leak at Leichhardt Oval. According to witnesses: extensive, irreparable cracks have appeared in Wests Tigers’ defence. This should be restored by March 2023. Maybe. Maybe not.

They had a fair Jersey Flegg Team that made the finals this year (beat the Roosters both times) - lost 26-22 in the elimination final and their Harold Matthews cup team (Western Suburbs Magpies) won that comp this year - so there is players on the way as they say.
They will certainly need to overhaul their roster though and land some decent players who will put in week in week out. They could be bigger than Penrith if they invested more in the Macarthur Group 6 area as those junior numbers will surpass Penrith's in the not too distant future.
My old Junior Club East Campbelltown Eagles for instance has over 1000 juniors from under 6's to First grade including under 14's//16's/18's/Reserve Grade and First Grade Women's sides. The Mens First Grade are in the Macarthur Group 6 Grand Final vs Camden Rams.
Too much Balmain focus as whenever there is a story about Wests Tigers it's always old Balmain players who are sought for comment - Elias/Roach/Jack etc- none of them played for Wests Tigers though
Wests Ashfield own 90% of the JV and are focused on Lidcombe to Ashfield as they say that is where the die hard Magpie supporters are and the reason they moved the home games for NSW Cup and Ron Massey Cup who play as Western Suburbs Magpies to Lidcombe Oval.
Maybe in the 1970's/80's/90's they lived in those areas but that is not the case nowadays.
Will Teflon Tim Sheens turn it around or Benji Marshall and Robbie Farrah when they take over - mmm time will tell
I never attack another club going through difficulties. Every team goes through ups and downs. This golden run for the Roosters will end one day and they'll be like the Tigpies now.
