Best defence in the comp

Even after only 2 rounds I can not remember being able to say this.

Enjoy it lads.

It’s incredible & after defeating 2 premiership heavyweights.

In IC we trust !

 

[Clifferd]

Only 2 rounds in but you have to brag about the defense seriously

1 try each conceded against the so called called premiership favourites

Not to mention they were both conceded in the back end of the 2nd half and way out wide whilst we were down to 12 men on each occasion.

And getting flogged by the refs in the Storm game.

I still can't get my head around how most are saying Melbourne haven't clicked yet. They looked good to me when they played Leeds and Canterbury...

I don't like being a downer but it's only 2 rounds. It is however the best 2 rounds I've seen from us in years.

That's the point of this thread. Even after only 2 rounds I can't ever remember being able to say we have the best defence in the league. Let's lap it up and enjoy it while we can!

It is freaken awesome. I just saw a mate from work who is a Tigers supporter and he is pumped as well. It has also come out of the blue.

i thought the roosters were off but to me the storm played pretty well. they definetly score 3/4 tries against most teams. we had a lot of great 1on1 try savers that in years gone past we miss every time.

Our great win is being understated coz we r not rated & how dare a humble team devoid of superstars( Marsters is on verge of becoming one) beat the cheating premiers on their home turf & rain on the parade of the dickhead Slater.

I havent forgotten many yrs ago at Leichhardt when the coward Slater lashed out with his foot @ Skando when he was lying on the ground.I didn’t notice the cameras on fox pointing to the box where slaters family were situated after Brooks scored the winning try like they did when melb hit the front & the halfwits were prematurely celebrating an imaginary win.

agreed, the storm were pretty slick in the first half and we just kept repelling them. Then they started to get frustrated and that is when they got a bit loose and started making errors but instead of giving the Tigers credit some are just looking for excuses for the storm.

Fact is we completely outplayed them based on our defence.

Cleary has what only a few teams have, a 1-17 who are ready to fight to the death for him and one another.

In the Storm press conference, both Bellamy & Smith praised the WT's game and offered no excuses.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Benji said they are not the same team without Cronk...............who cares, they talk about the new Cronk and still have the 2 saints in waiting in Smith & Slater. Tigers have shown others how the Storm can be beaten.

yeah fair credit to them.

I was referring to the 'so called' experts on fox and the papers trying to save face after they all probably tipped us for the spoon.

The storm were good against us. Our forwards really laid the platform though, with defence and suffocated their attack. It bought a smile to my face to see our forwards smash the opposition instead of being bumped off or pretend to slip over.

I was on the hill at Leichhardt that afternoon and it happened right in front of me. I've had a huge dislike for the grub ever since that day.

Canterbury - 15th
Parramatta - 16th

Just kind of shows how much influence our so called better players really did and do have

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

if you said to me in February that the tigers would only score 1 try a game and those both in the last 5 minutes.......against those opponents.......I would have said floggings. I don't think even the most optimistic of us would have said much different.

To have this defence and team spirit is out of this world. Especially their ethic against adversity.

To walk into work with everyone talking about the tigers in a positive way. It's very unusual but very welcome.

 

[Clifferd]

Taumalolo came out and said our defense is the benchmark of the comp

Big wrap coming from the best forward in the game
