Pathetic referees

[the wounded magpie]

Once again we have been denied a victory by poor officialisim.

The ref and touchies failure to pick up Utai's knock on is just not on, and as it turned out cost us at least a chance of playing out a golden point.

Then to rub salt in the wound Archer the idiot fails to play any advantage, although fortunately Lafranchi crossed soon later.

This would be what the third game I can easily think of whereby the official has cost us any chance of victory. Instead of looking forward to this years finals, it looks because of these imbociles we now have to wait until 2005.

Pity the focus will be on this rather then our gallant effort against one of the favorites for the comp.

Mighty Wests Tigers... "That's My Team"

I am shattered that we lost, but...

Didn't our boys play well!!!

Imagine if we had O'Neil, Senter, Marshall etc!!!

Things are looking bloody good for us.

The Roosters and Dragons games are a distant, very distant memory. Did they even happen.

I wish I had all the Mighty Wests Tigers players e-mail address so I could write to them personally.

I am so proud of the guys, I clapped them off the field. My wife thought I had finally lost it. I was sitting there in front of the heater, watching a team that had lost and I was as happy as a "sand boy".

Bring on the next victims!

Magnificent crowd at Campbelltown too.

I don't support the Tigers nor the Bulldogs but watching tonights game I felt sorry for the Tigers. To put in that effort against one of the best teams in the comp and to loose because of the officials would really hurt. They weren't 50/ 50 calls either, they were blatant decisions that went the wrong way. Great game, bad officiating, wrong result.

 

[Davester]

do we still have finals chance??

 

[brooksy19]

yes we have a bye up or sleeves whilst newcastle & cowboys dont..so we are basically on 20 points..we need to win vs parra & souths and comfortably

 

[Davester]

oh phew!

 

[JOELCORE]

4 out of our last 5 with good score lines may see of scrape in.So even if we lose to brisbane we can make it.

 

[Beavis]

Yeah, but if we continue to play the way we played last night, we'll knock the Bronco's over.

 

[innsaneink]

Yeah, but if we continue to play the way we played last night, we'll knock the Bronco's over.

We should have playerd like that in the last month.

 

[Beavis]

Indeed

 

[brooksy19]

We're funny 2 weeks ago we were the worst team in the comp, now i reckon we're one of the top form teams, lol. we need to back this performance up with a drubbing of parramatta on their turf.

 

[the wounded magpie]

The issue however is that we are now in the position where our final 8 chances are at best slim. A victory say last note aginst the dags, the early season losses against Souths (Golden Point farce) and Broncos (14 players) we would be well embedded in the 8.
Instead of these if and buts we are talking about now, we would be speculating on who we would play in the semis

 

[Tigerpete]

Yeah sad but true, the officials have really hurt us this season, that now the 5th or 6th game this season where poor officiating has directly influenced the game, all of them to our disadvantage.

 

[brooksy19]

my what if at the dragon site.
1 Roosters 44
2 Bulldogs 42
3 Broncos 40
4 Dragons 34
5 Panthers 34
6 Storm 30
7 Wests Tigers 28
8 Raiders 24
9 Sharks 24
10 Knights 24
11 Cowboys 23
12 Eels 20
13 Sea Eagles 18
14 Warriors 18
15 Rabbitohs 17

I Had us beat parra, cowboys, souths & Newcastle.loss to brissy and a bye. we can afford to drop 1 game to max depends on other results..im confident after last night we can do it..we gotta support em though..lets get out to as many games as we can..

 

[brooksy19]

the bye really puts a spanner in the works.

 

[Tigerpete]

The raiders and knights are both 4 points off us there, does that tell us we can afford to drop more than one, still if we beat the knights we might be well placed.

we wouldnt have won that game against the broncos, they were running away with it, they got there points back for it, so there was nothing in it, but if you look back to poor decisions, like the knockon in the panthers game, or shayne haynes, 13-3 penalty count against us. :roll: f**kING REFS

 

[brooksy19]

yes it does, i think cronulla are shot ducks as are the raiders..geez i hope the kiwis smash canberrra tonight.

i think if we win 4/5 we are assured 3/5 + bye and we have to rely on results to go our way..

the challenge is in front of the boys now lets see if they can do it.

Benji would of been handy last night, adds that little spark..

 

[tigerstu]

How about 5 from 5?? Is it that much out of the question? If they turn up to play over the next 2 weeks and put on performances like the one on Friday night, we should win... then anything can happen against the broncos and knights. I have been thinking about it for a while and I think it will all come down to the last game against the knights.... whoever wins that will slip into 8th spot. I think I am going to try and get tickets for that game ASAP.... if we get a good bunch of supporters out there, we might just see them make history!!

Wishful thinking I know.... but I can't beleve our season is over. Just yet!!!

Bring it home Tigers!!!!
