Rounds 22-25 Draw. Round 25 Announced today

[Marshall_magic]

It gets three games a year and one of them - that one, is always Sunday afternoon. You all knew that.

They should all be, I've been to Leichhardt for night games and I have been there for game days, I will tell you, along with anyone who has been to both night and day games there, the atmosphere at the day games is just so much better, at night it is almost lifeless, but during the day it is packed with a huge vocal tigers crowd.

Translation: I'm whinging because the Warriors didn't get the Chn 9 game.

One would imagine a game between two possible top 4 teams will be better than a game between one team in the eight and another team thats missed out.

 

[Timmah]

Teams 8 and 9 at the moment actually.

I wouldn't be getting too excited over the Warriors just yet. The only thing separating Souths and the Warriors is that game at Telstra this year. 4 minutes is the difference between 6th, and 9th!

Oh and Dodge, you are correct that it should always be on a Sunday arvo and that has been the case in all years since the Wests Tigers existed EXCEPT in 2003, when we played them on a Saturday night. and won. From 16-0 down.


shame it was our 3rd win of the year...and last.

I went to that game. I sat at the end Souths ran to in the first half, and the Tigers ran to in the second half. Needless to say, it was the wrong end to sit at.

And a video referee


TBH i was half laying out bait and half being serious - to be fair i have the Warriors finishing an optimistic 6th

 

[SSFC Hitman]

When does Round 25 come out? Is there Monday night footy? Because I have a feeling if there is they might put Souths VS Roosters on and as I am confident of souths making the finals....then it wouldn't be fair to back up after a monday for a semi (albiet against Storm on a Sunday most likely). I think any team in contention for the finals probably shouldn't play on the monday.

So to me Sharks VS Cnaberra may have to be the game at this stage...but that could change.

I think the Manly v Warriors game is a top 4 clash though. I can see both points on this.

So can I BUT like it or not Channel 9 are Sydney centric...Tigers VS Souths at Leicardt is a tradition of sorts and a rivalry which doesn't take much thought for promotion.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

I believe that the ground record at Leichhardt has been broken every year since 2002 (with 2003 the exception) when Souths have played their on a Sunday arvo. If we are still in contention (we will be) I don't know how they will fit everyone in honestly. Last year there were people sitting on the roofs and ledge of the scoreboard.

 

[JW]

WT vs Souths

2006 - 18,440
2005 - 22,877
2004 - 19,402

Not sure what timeslot these were played in, but the 2005 crowd is the current ground record. The other two are right up there as well, but there was a few Balmain games which drew over 20K in the 80s.

 

[Timmah]

IIRC there were safety concerns after the 2005 match which meant they capped the capacity, no?

Wouldn't be surprised.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

I don't believe they did, but I can't be certain. And what does IIRC mean? I've seen it around but can't work it out.

 

[Jobdog]

When does Round 25 come out? Is there Monday night footy?

Either next Tuesday or the Tuesday after.

Never fear NP is here! :lol: It means If I remember correctly.;-)

I will fear no more! Thanks mate, I never would of worked that out. FMD there are acronym's for everything.

 

[Timmah]
