I watched this game last night and damn it was a scrappy game. I can't believe how much better NRL is now compared to 2000, but the tigers were throwing the ball around and making breaks like they do now days. they even butchered a few tries like they do now days.

caine was such a terrible player, and the those players were so unlikable.
they were the french foreign legion of cast off footballers.
and Tezza was king.

I gotta disagree. I understand it was Feb but it was a night time game so the heat shouldn't have been a massive factor, plus they had 7 on the bench and a water break half way through each half. also they had unlimited interchange.

If the NRL was better during the late 90s/early 2000 I hope that game was just a bad one. the passing was very sloppy and slow plus I think half the tigers had butter fingers because they couldn't catch the or hold the ball.

despite all my whinging about the quality of the game it was still enjoyable seeing how the tigers started and some of the names brought back good memories. did you see Mark Tookey? he was such a beast.

Caine was a genius. Used to take 10 minutes to pick the f**king ball up before he got pinned in goal or taken into touch
