NBWT

WT hit a point every season where they fall off dramatically physically, resulting in eye-watering scores against, an increase in mental fatigue errors, sin bins and penalties. Hope I’m wrong but yesterday was the red flashing light we see at the same stage every single year

@TigersFaithful I’m keen for him to play, maybe after Canberra though. I’ve got a 2016 feeling about that game

@NBWT__ He probably would go okay but I am not sure I would bother. Just pick him in the halves. He is the best half at the club right now.

Javon Andrews 4 try assists. Doubles to Saukuru, Mason, Tupou and a try to Tavana. Magpies 36 Bulldogs 30. Pick them all.

@Brodhist73 To be fair if the backs got flipped, it’d be how it is now. NRL team is just disorganised and no one knows what is coming next in a bad system, with or without the ball. Cup actually move the ball too

@NBWT__ I’d back the magpies backs to destroy the tigers backs,,, Javon puts them in space and solo and faingaa attempt to beat the defence ,, none if the nrl team can do that and they refuse to run onto a pass

4 mins in but some actual energy and intent from the Magpies to start the game. First sign of it from any men’s team in 3 weeks. Famous last words

@CastTiger It’d wrap things up nicely when it comes to him and the last 18 months. Good old fashion beat down of a team has unlocked him again. Always a Heath guy, so much there to work with

@NBWT__ It would be very tigers to not offer him a new deal now

Very very few positives from club in last couple of months but Heath Mason finding his confidence again has been wonderful to see. Haven’t seen him this confident in his ability and decision making since probably his NRL debut.

If this was about his ability, it would have mentioned his ability. This is re players being fitter/faster/stronger before/after WT

@Tiger_T96 Hope not. Leave him out the carnage of Canberra. That’s left scars on kids before at WT haha

@NBWT__ Javon debut next week 👀

Wests did their best to ‘WT’ it but they hold on to beat the Bulldogs 36-30 Junior Tupou: 2 tries, 2 try assists Solo Saukuru: 2 tries Heath Mason: 2 tries Tino Tavana: 1 try Javon Andrews: 4 try assists Wests finish the round in 6th, 1 point off a top 5 finals spot. #NSWCup

@BecharaRob Missing the point

@NBWT__ He’s hopeless. No loss there

Another example of players in/out of WT program - Josh Feledy has got some speed this year

@CastTiger And evidently no one on one coaching to fix obvious issues

@NBWT__ I always felt he’d be a first grader. Issue again was by the time he turned 20 he’d already been in our top 30 for 2 years and ‘hasn’t shown enough.’ Which 90% of 20 year olds wouldn’t have

@CastTiger Nope just drifted over for that play

@NBWT__ Is he playing on the right today?

Come for the Javon pass, stay for the #AirTino finish Javon (19yo) with his #NSWCup leading 22nd try assist in his first season in open age.

@CastTiger Faster and not as closed off defensively. 2/4 ain’t bad in one offseason haha

@NBWT__ Sin binned and dropped the ball over the line Still plenty of Tiger in him

The hands from Junior Tupou. His 4th try involvement of the day (2 tries, 2 try assists) and Javon’s 4th try assist.

@adrian_Skii11 Yeah, no idea last changes. Don’t think we’ve looked fit for an nrl season since Ivan’s one full year. Started great this year physically but that wore off pretty quickly

@NBWT__ When was the last time we made major changes to our performance and fitness staff? Assuming this is what you’re alluding to?

Anyone that doesn’t believe WT’s issues relate to their prep should be forced to watch their top 4 Flegg team who have fallen off in every aspect just like the NRL team. Deadset mirror image of what was on show last night. Look like they played a game before kick off.

@_BillPosters Solo obviously off Benji’s radar early but can’t believe he hasn’t even got a look in as a reserve. Not NRL level defensively as an outside back but join the club. Perfect 2RF/back cover for current predicament

@NBWT__ Another good performance from Saukuru and Andrews so far.

After a week off, the free-flowing Magpies are back. 5 first half tries against the Bulldogs this afternoon. Heath Mason 2 tries Solo Saukuru 2 tries Junior Tupou 1 try, 2 try assists Javon Andrews 2 try assists #NSWCup

25 mins in 2 tries to Solo Saukuru 2 try assists to Vonny Andrews 1 try, 1 try assist to Junior Tupou Tristan Hope and Jack Underhill in the sin bin after drawing inspiration from heavy weight champion Alex Twal

@CastTiger Every right to be chirpy. Always a good feeling when you break your losing streak against the NRL’s finest

Tigers fans gave dogs plenty over the last 2 wins, no issues copping it back, to the spoils go the winners. Rivalry between big clubs is good Seen a few saying ‘why aren’t tigers fans chirping now’ check their account and have barely posted in 2 months lolz. Either way congrats
