Are you insinuating that the Wests Tigers are a better team than the Roosters? If you honestly believe that then you are the delusional one.

If I were a Roosters supporter last night's game would be worrying the hell out of me.

1. Tigers don't and haven't played well in the wet offensively for many years. Last night was no exception. The effort was great but the execution was not. Normal for the Tigers in the wet.

2. The Roosters pack never got on top, despite the Tigers having no props on the bench.

3. Take Tupou out and you lose.

4. Your first try had two forward passes in it.

And that doesn't take into account the Ryan try because I thought you had one that should have been BOD too.

If it were a dry track, we'd have beaten you last night.

Tigers played terribly and lost.

Roosters played terribly and won.

I don't know why Roosters supporters ought to be concerned? They're the ones coming first and not us...

BTW if rain is forecast for this sat night I might drop a bit on the baby Cowboys. The Tigers would struggle to be Minto 5th Grade in inclement weather.

 

[sretsoor]

You have massive problems.

The rain helped your team, not ours.

How did the rain help us? It's not like we have a good record, after all in our recent history a bit of rain lost us two GF's.

This is not meant to start an arguement but I actually thought we would struggle more in the rain with our bigger forward pack. The two games where we were well beaten this year (ie Newc and Dragons) were both played on heavy pitches. I thought the Tigers with their smaller more mobile pack would have hurt us. But you guys tried to play wide where it was up the middle that the game was to be won

Well, you won last night?

I can recall only one wet-track win by us in 4 years.

The point is we coughed up a lot more ball than your guys, at critical times and we do that every time in the wet. I thought we gave as good as we got and with even a small amount of luck we'd have gotten you.

Tupou was the difference in the end, to me anyway.

Well him and the fact we have a Manu Vatuvei at his worst clone on the wing...

Seriously, we just don't play well in the wet, ever.

Talk to any Tigers fan and as soon as we know it's a wet track, put some dough on the opposition.

We couldn't play up the middle against the Roosters with our best 17, we don't get even close to your pack size-wise. We didn't even have a prop on the bench.

I've only been following Rugby League for 40 years.

Let me guess, you've been following the Roosters since what, 2001?

1966 actually.

Act your ****ing age then you silly old ****. You want to have a reasonable discussion, fine, you want an insult contest, we can go there too.

Maybe you can forward them a video of one of the several abject performances in the rain?

Wests v Auckland in 2005 was one of the worst although anybody with a decent archive could find a more contemporary example. Our wet-weather football is comparable with the average state cup side.

BTW I'm not in any way trying to undermine or detract from the Roosters victory.

Easts will be in the GF, mark my words!!

On another point, how could Easts let Tupou go to the Sharks? He has NEVER played a bad game v the Tigers, but now he is off to a club that hasn't won against us since 2003. Something's goin' 2 give!!

Just like if you took out Farah you would have got blown out of the park by 20+ last night.

Man that game in NZ was a shocker. Our worst performance ever.

Letting Tupou go is a huge mistake, that bloke can play some serious footy.

Sure, but Farah was a starter. I guess the argument on that could go on forever.

Farah had a great game but Tupou killed us.

 

[Geohood]

Lets just say that we were both **** but the Tigers were just shitter... onward to next week.

It looks like someone's upset. Roosters won old son, deal with it.

never a truer word spoken

 

[adamkungl]

Ugly win but a win nonetheless, and still in first

good luck against the cowgirls next week tigpies

Considering he is getting up to $450k a year at the Sharks he is a luxury we cannot afford.. He is not replaceable but in Sa and Cherrington we have 2 massively talented backrow prospects..

You wish you dopey old skirt.
