I’m torn between being excited about building some momentum and the chance that it’ll come crashing down around me once I get excited! Canberra in Canberra this weekend will answer some questions about consistency and how focussed the Tigers are. I’m betting they’ll come through, but you no doubt expected that from me hehe….

Winning only on their home ground is not a good excuse, they should work hard though I like watching this game, it was pretty intense.

great game and great hitting by robbie!
as a tigers fan we can only imagine what could have been with those 3 close losses earlier in the season by less than 4 points.

Yes, the Rabbitohs game in 2007 comes to mind bigtime. But it is no secret that the Tigers players would prefer to play there on a constant basis. Although they would not be certainties everytime, the Tigers chances of winning more games would be increased substantially if they were to play games at Campbelltown and Leichardt Oval, instead of sharing games at ANZ and the SFS.

We have lost PLENTY of big games at Leichardt Oval over the last few seasons…
Don’t get sucked into the myth.

Great atmosphere, but the Tigers are not unbeatable while playing there.
Same as campbelltown.

Indeed those two scrums were the key factors in the Tigers victory, more so because they were playing at home. But it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the fight broke out at Townsville. Maybe the Cowboys would have stormed home. When the Tigers have momentum though, they really are a joy to watch, not to mention playing on a sunday afternoon.

Alan, can you recall the last time a scrum erupted like that in a club game?? No doubt the Tiggers looked good, and might be geting themselves back on track, but I think after those two scrums, the rest of the game didn’t matter so much…
