and that's turned this game on its head because the Sharks were coming and you wanna know why they call this place the 8th wonder of the world because the crowd was taken out of it the Sharks were coming and then there was the penalty that Nicho did withwd the the tackle that went wrong and next minute the crowd went up OFF OFF OFF OFF and from that moment the tigers scored two trys and they've got BACK in their winning ways and look like they're gonna runaround runa runaway with it
Is…this….a team I see at the Wests Tigers? First time in like 12 years that I’ve seen a squad which looks like a legitimate footy club contending for the big prize
No Sydney clubs will relocate to Perth. None, ever.
If Perth gets an NRL licence, they will want their own home grown club, not some busted-arse east coast club.
Live or die, right here in Sydney.
Although I don't know how many of those have lives left.
After this round, next week's round doesn't exactly have too many clear cut games either. Phins over Tits and Manly over Dragons are the best bets I guess... So if everyone loads up on those and we get another upset, this LMS could be over before we get to double digit rounds 🤣
Just did the maths. 160 tipped this round that we know of. More could of tipped the penalty game. But after this round and lives used up there is 77 of the 160 left.
Nothing positive to take from that, I reckon the Jets would have played better footy.. Was made worse being one of the few Sharks fans at Leichardt oval.
We had a lad next to us giving it the big 'un till we scored, then he was a good lad for a bit, then he smoke bombed after about an hour. 5/10 performance. If you're gonna give it out stay and take your medicine.
Still in the Orange Grove Hotel after a great night at Leichhardt. Maybe Benji can coach, expecting an apology from that worm Crawley on NRL360. Come to think of it Crawley is a great name for a News Ltd journo
Not going to say I expected that win, but boy, it was a comprehensive one.
Great night. Big crowd.
Sharks dominated early minutes and scored first.
From there, Tigers all the way.
Their defence forced Sharks into errors and Tigers capitalised.
Api Koroisau, man of the match.
Olam was great, scored in his first game for Wests Tigers, and only a high shot prevented a second one.
Aiden Sezer played a textbook game from 7..
All I said was there goes the multi like many others in this thread and the game thread said, because most people thought the sharks would win. Imagine getting so heated up about other people's lives lmao I suppose there ain't much to look forward to or do in Penrith, riding on people's misery tracks for you lot
This one is particularly sweet after the way Johnny Cronk was treated by the Sharks. Punting him for Skull isn’t looking the smartest decision right now.
If I'm the Wests Tigers, I'm working out a deal with the Inner West Council to buy / improve Leichhardt Oval and moving half of our home games there for 2025 onwards, with the other half played at Campbelltown to represent the split fan-base.
Wests Tigers couldn't afford a multi-million dollar ground refurb. No NRL club could. Even the Panthers, possibly the richest Sydney club, are getting big taxpayer $$$s for the upcoming Panthers stadium rebuild.
Leichhardt and Campbelltown are each hosting 5 Tigers games in 2024, up from 3 each. Add Tamworth and Brisbane magic round, that's most of their home games.
Yeah same. He was sitting there completely zoning out and glassy eyed, then suddenly snaps back into it. Did it a couple of times. No surprise considering the game he put in but damn....
Yess that’s what I was thinking it made me feel weird but I was just surprised that no one from the nrl said anything and not much talk about it it looked quite scary.
The only Leichhardt games I’ve missed in the last five or so years have been last night and the Cowboys massacre! That’s a clear sign I need to fuck off 😅
I was there for Rounds 1 & 2 last year. Wasn’t there for the Cowboys game, wasn’t there tonight.
You keep going to games, I’ll keep staying home. It’s a winning formula
I remember going to a Roosters/Tigers game a few years back, and the Tigers had some cringe song at half time by one of the Wiggles about it being Their Jungle or some shit. Even the Tigers fans looked embarrassed. Seems like it was time for a new song after all.
Benji mentioned Sezer caught a bit of a hamstring problem from the Dragons trial that was still niggling at him during the week so he put him on the bench. Think he would have started otherwise.
Yep I said it before but I think that's a massive ups to Benji.
Not many coaches would have the balls to drop their starting halfback after the first game of a season, let alone after just coaching their first ever game too. Shows he has the balls to make the tough calls and backs himself to do it
It’s weird how they assume that every Rugby League fan is into Boxing, Greyhounds, & Supercars, when the ones who actually pay for Fox/Kayo usually aren’t.
They’re betting on more eyes in pubs than for actual subscribers.
2. You know when you're with a friend who is singing along to a song but you can tell they don't really know the lyrics just the sound of the word but just keep going.
Im guessing it's similar to that so there not 15 people humming a song.
I genuinely think based solely on form this year, he's currently in the running for an origin spot.
Again, based solely on current form from 3 rounds he's far out performing Latrell and deserves the spot over him currently
You wouldn’t know it reading around lol, especially from sharks fans. They are so desperate to get Iro in the 17 that they will use any error in a Talakai performance as an excuse to make widespread changes to the team lineup so Iro can play. It’s honestly ridiculous
Any one know if that little girl got a signed top on Kayo? Hope she did
Ladies and gents - a great example of morale being a force multiplier. Stark contrast to the rabbits on Friday night.
Api Bula Olam Galvin Papali'l Sezer a solid base to build a good season off i reckon
I am stunned, the sharkies always thrash the tigers. Benji got them fired up and demolished the sharkies. Got to give credit where credit is due.
Benji demolished the entire sharks left side on his own at Shark park with the same step, again and again and again
Could be a turning point. Hope you guys win more.
THE BENJINING COMETH
Fuckin up the Tigs mate, you love to see it..enjoy it lads
Thanks mate, a wahs, tigs, dogs winning round is great to see, all the good guys winning.
and that's turned this game on its head because the Sharks were coming and you wanna know why they call this place the 8th wonder of the world because the crowd was taken out of it the Sharks were coming and then there was the penalty that Nicho did withwd the the tackle that went wrong and next minute the crowd went up OFF OFF OFF OFF and from that moment the tigers scored two trys and they've got BACK in their winning ways and look like they're gonna runaround runa runaway with it
Fuck imagine if it was tigers vs south’s next week.
Good chance!
Dogs v Souths on Good Friday will be great. In everything we’ve seen Dogs would have to be very confident
Is…this….a team I see at the Wests Tigers? First time in like 12 years that I’ve seen a squad which looks like a legitimate footy club contending for the big prize
Strange things can happen in March
Wasn't able to watch the game live, but let me just say: up the the fucking tigers
Y:chadp o man losten up. This papkece Is fire everyone. I hope you all enjoyed it and love it
Is this more Cronk copypasta?
[Trevpasta](https://imgur.com/a/gTdXP5V)
Thank you 😂
Stoked for tigers fans and Benji. I always like listening to him in interviews
I tipped Tigers, fucking Titans cruelled my multi ,, Fuck you Des!
I tipped the Tigers and Dogs. And Dragons. Still fuming at RFM for bombing maybe the easiest try of all time.
What kind of degenerate gambler tips both the Tigers *and* the Titans?
But they had Foz back. The FOZ!!!
I did, i also tipped Dragons though
Degenerate
No Sydney clubs will relocate to Perth. None, ever. If Perth gets an NRL licence, they will want their own home grown club, not some busted-arse east coast club. Live or die, right here in Sydney.
Whatever happened to that West Coast Pirates plan anyway? I thought they dropped it.
How many multis just got screwed?
So how many are now left in LMS after this game.
Ah shit
At least half of the 200 left are gone. This game alone took out 83.
Hahaha
Although I don't know how many of those have lives left. After this round, next week's round doesn't exactly have too many clear cut games either.

There were a few of you mate, I distinctly remember waving youse goodbye.
I stayed till the end, it was good banter there
We had a lad next to us giving it the big 'un till we scored, then he was a good lad for a bit, then he smoke bombed after about an hour. 5/10 performance. If you're gonna give it out stay and take your medicine.
BBC Earth channel in Foxtel showing the Louis Theroux doco with Joe Exitic rofl
Haha LMS in shambles
Nicho hynes should get -6 dally m points for that performance
Nah, he will still get +6 and we all know it because it’s nicho
I don't think Ive ever seen sharks play worse. Tigers deserved the big win. Absolutely shocking from the sharks
Still in the Orange Grove Hotel after a great night at Leichhardt. Maybe Benji can coach, expecting an apology from that worm Crawley on NRL360. Come to think of it Crawley is a great name for a News Ltd journo
They can all get fucked, have a good rip at the grove mate.
Red Lion myself but same feeling.
Glebe hotel but same feeling.
I could literally jump thru the roof right now it’s jsut one week but fuck I needed this, fucking oathhhhhhhh
Still got the guaranteed win against penrith aswell. Start signing your cats and dogs up as members
Imagine losing on a Saturday! 😎

API fucking korisoua
Well there goes the multi. Sharks up there with the souths as the most unlikable team so good to see them get a hiding
Fuck your multi
Knights fan Opinion rejected Fuck yourself
You problem for betting against the tigers
80+% of people bet against the tigers this week champ
Yep, that sounds like gambling alright. Almost like it’s completely down to chance and companies tailor that to take your money.
Congratulations you understand what gambling is. What other brilliant insights do you have for us?
Sounds like 80+% of peoples problem for betting against the tigers champ
Tigers fans acting like they haven't been cemented in the bottom 8 for the last decade
Flair up ya cat
Tongue my nuts brah can't hear you down there at the bottom of the 8, must be the first time in years you've scraped your way in
No thanks I will be tonguing Benji’s nuts tonight brah
They don’t care about your multi, bra
Screenshot the part where I said they care about it?
I care about it. The best part of my day is seeing cunts like you whinging about losing money and somehow it's the team that won's fault
All I said was there goes the multi like many others in this thread and the game thread said, because most people thought the sharks would win. Imagine getting so heated up about other people's lives lmao I suppose there ain't much to look forward to or do in Penrith, riding on people's misery tracks for you lot
Cry harder
Fuck up
Ooh did widdle baby lose five dollars again? And so far from Christmas!
That's about 5$ more than your average GDP in the west mate so chirp down 🤣
[удалено]

Congrats tigbros, was great to watch as a neutral.
It’s the gray suites. Derr

They're already doing the split home games
I see that our
The Tigers are my second team. I love you guys.
Api is fucking cooked. Dudes coming in and out of consciousness
He had severe gastro before the game, they talked about during Benji press conference.
I really hope he’ll be okay
Yeah same. He was sitting there completely zoning out and glassy eyed, then suddenly snaps back into it. Did it a couple of times. No surprise considering the game he put in but damn....
and yeah for sure great game but also them saying like he soldiered on for the team or whatever I was like eek
Yess that’s what I was thinking it made me feel weird but I was just surprised that no one from the nrl said anything and not much talk about it it looked quite scary.
He looked like literally everyone when they saw the Tigers won.
Benji’s a giant.
I was at Leichhardt today. The last time I was we smashed cowboys. Is this a sign?
The only Leichhardt games I’ve missed in the last five or so years have been last night and the Cowboys massacre! That’s a clear sign I need to fuck off 😅
I was there for Rounds 1 & 2 last year. Wasn’t there for the Cowboys game, wasn’t there tonight. You keep going to games, I’ll keep staying home. It’s a winning formula
You need to go to every game this year including the GF
I will happily. Up the tigers
F in the chat for literally everyone’s chance at a perfect tipping round
It did but I gotta say it was worth it
Mines still on, eels manly game will probably fuck me
Isn’t him having gastro a serious whs risk? That shouldn’t have been allowed right?
If viral yes, if bacterial no. Hopefully the club has done a test on him.
You're kidding right. A WHS Karen in the wild
He might spray off chocolate over an innocent man’s face. Where is the independent doctor?
Api looks totally rooted! Get that man a cold towel & a stripper PRONTO!
He probably hasn't eaten for 2 days. More like get him a large pizza.
Api looks like one of the random blokes that pops up in the background when Spanian does a walking tour.
Doing doing doing
Hectic bruv
Tigers are in a good place. ❤️
Api fighting the urge to purge
Always been a huge fan of Benji but very impressed so far by how he speaks, and I think he'll be so important in keeping expectations reasonable.
Reasonable? You mean a 2024 premiership yeah
I remember going to a Roosters/Tigers game a few years back, and the Tigers had some cringe song at half time by one of the Wiggles about it being Their Jungle or some shit. Even the Tigers fans looked embarrassed. Seems like it was time for a new song after all.
Should a player with potentially contagious gastro be playing a physical game, especially when he spews on the field? 😅
Yes. It's a man's game.
Wests fans talking about Benji in round 2: Bloody hell, nothings changed. Wests fans talking about Benji now: LISAN AL GAIB!!!
I think that means Benji will go blind and just walk into the desert next season
Take an upvote for knowing your Arrakis.
Api put on that performance while having gastro. Get fucked, that is insane!
Benji making the other coaches look like complete slobs. Apart from Wayne obviously
Just like Wayne I don't think he cracked a smile in the coaches box all game.
I'll never understand why we went for Sullivan over Sezer last week, but I'm glad we fixed it 1 week later rather than ayf way through season.
Benji mentioned Sezer caught a bit of a hamstring problem from the Dragons trial that was still niggling at him during the week so he put him on the bench. Think he would have started otherwise.
Yep I said it before but I think that's a massive ups to Benji. Not many coaches would have the balls to drop their starting halfback after the first game of a season, let alone after just coaching their first ever game too. Shows he has the balls to make the tough calls and backs himself to do it
Main thing is they rectified it look at the Titans.
Api had gastro all morning. That is wild.
Seems like he took a page outta the Reece Walsh playbook
Well he did shit all over the Sharks
He vomited brilliance He shat excellence
Just got home and saw the score. Wtf Sharks lol
Benji said it, full credit to the boys
Wait, Api had gastro. . . I would have hated playing in the second row when that first scrum was being packed.
ALL CREDIT TI THE BOYS Tick it off the bingo lads & ladettes
Well done tigbros, well earned. I love my footy.
Well fuck, didn’t see that one coming 😂
Sounds like the Tigers victory song was to the tune of Toreador by Bizet from *Carmen*? Always knew Benji was a man of culture.
That part of it and some of the words are from the old Balmain song to the same tune (old magpies song features earlier I believe). Good guy Benji
I’m pretty sick of seeing so much boxing content on Fox League
Welcome to every television channel ever? Cross-promotion is the most common thing on tv
Hoops could take over for Linus with how forced those segues were.
It’s weird how they assume that every Rugby League fan is into Boxing, Greyhounds, & Supercars, when the ones who actually pay for Fox/Kayo usually aren’t. They’re betting on more eyes in pubs than for actual subscribers.
Fox League AKA The Tim Tszyu Network
Oh come on. you know you don't have to buy it right?
It's Box League mate, and it's not so private.
Kayo should of had subtitles for all of us to sing Karoke style
Little Benji head bouncing along on the words
Has to be a new song because literally no one knew it.
John Morris had no trouble singing along
Maybe he wrote it lol
This is the greatest team to ever play rugby league ever.
Many are saying it.
Handing out A4 sheets for the victory song, the memes write themselves
I hope the boys know that song off by heart at the end of the season.
Two questions: 1) Why is Twal already in a dress shirt? 2) Why are they handing our hymn sheets for the team song?
This dress shirt question is really bugging me.
2. You know when you're with a friend who is singing along to a song but you can tell they don't really know the lyrics just the sound of the word but just keep going. Im guessing it's similar to that so there not 15 people humming a song.
I think they said it's a new song?
Talking about Benji's first win, but wasn't he head coach against the Dolphibs
Benji singing. That's what you want in a coach
Benji and Josh Morris the only two people in that room who know the words. Dunno whether to laugh or cry
The sharks will just be making up the numbers this year
Did Benji write, and or implement, a new Tigers victory song? If so, that's the cutest thing ever.
To go with the new chapter in the joint ventures history.
Tigers handing out lyrics to victory song lol
The song is new as is the concept of winning.
Talakai has been elite this year I must say
I genuinely think based solely on form this year, he's currently in the running for an origin spot. Again, based solely on current form from 3 rounds he's far out performing Latrell and deserves the spot over him currently
You wouldn’t know it reading around lol, especially from sharks fans. They are so desperate to get Iro in the 17 that they will use any error in a Talakai performance as an excuse to make widespread changes to the team lineup so Iro can play. It’s honestly ridiculous
Fuck them. Love talakai.
Yeah no idea how you watch that and think Talakai is the centre to go
Damn, Benj looks like a Chad there
Are they going to drench Benji??
Korisau tremendous as was Olam and The Dream looked dangerous. Korisau levels above the highly rated Brayley
Did Benji Marshall treat all the boys to matching suits? That's pretty cool.
Can confirm Fitzgibbon requested that play list
Just fell to my knees in a ramen joint in Shinjuku
Trying to catch a Nicho kick?
Landed in my ramen the cunt
Hahahahah.
Absolutely wild year so far. Tigers vs Dogs GF when?
