Manly put 40 on the dogs, so I expect them to do the same to us

 

[Tigerm]

I no longer care what happens in this game. I just want it to end.

[Fordy20]

Great to see Feledy getting a run.

 

[Perth Tiger]

couple of debuts, the only thing worth watching for

 

[WA Tiger]

I can’t remember the last time the team selections rang true. At last Someone has the knowledge, attention to detail, is able to think laterally and just gets it done..

Benji wants the boys to have the memory of a win when they’re running up and down the hills over summer. Even with limited options. That’s how he’s always rolled. And what better team than manly

 

[WA Tiger]

No vacancies at 1/2 back anyway. So no point

 

[Nutz]

Well I got my wish with the centre pairing.
One things for sure, these two won't die wondering. I hope they do well.

Two teens to make NRL debut

Friday night will see two teens realise a childhood dream, when Kit Laulilii and Josh Feledy make their NRL debuts.

www.weststigers.com.au

Both 18-year-olds have played in Wests Tigers representative teams this season, progressing from SG Ball to Jersey Flegg, and more recently playing in the NSW Cup competition.

Laulilii is 100% 'home grown' having come through Wests Tigers pathways as a junior, beginning the journey as a 5-year-old with Liverpool Catholic Club Raiders.

Feledy is a northern beaches junior who also started out as a 5-year-old.

His journey to Concord started at Harbord, and quickly gathered pace this year.

“It hasn’t fully hit me yet, it’s a dream come true, and I am just so excited,” he said.


Play strong and go well lads, you are our future.

 

[Perth Tiger]

Both kids seem like they were leaders coming up through the grades so hopefully they can both bring those skills to first grade because we have been desperately missing leaders for the last 10 years

 

[Maxxn99]

I no longer care what happens in this game. I just want it to end.

Just the season or the whole kit and kaboodle??

 

[Tigerm]

Just the season or the whole kit and kaboodle??

No, I'll be back again in the off season, it's just been a long slog this year, for me and the footy.

 

[Nutz]

I hate the off season as much as WT losing. Double edged sword in my side.

 

[TroyJax]

No, I'll be back again in the off season, it's just been a long slog this year, for me and the footy.

You should be used to it by now.

 

[Das Hassler]

"Come 6pm on Friday there will be seven Wests Tigers players who have made their NRL debuts this year."

 

[Tigerm]

You should be used to it by now.

I am.

 

[Fordy20]

No, I'll be back again in the off season, it's just been a long slog this year, for me and the footy.

I feel you bro. This season has been pretty draining.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

It's been like the first half of the movie Major League. Before they came good. The only difference is nothing about our season has been funny. Except for them giving Brooks a BBQ as a f**k off gift.
