The Tigs finish 4th and win their semi. Beating the reigning premiers.
The Warriors finsh 6th and lose their semi.
Yet... the Tigs found themselves in exactly the same situation as the warriors. In sudden elimination.
And are now gone.
Who is this MacIntyre Clown and what does he know about footy?
I was thinking the same but it's hyperthetical as the Warriors took the chance of being eliminated in the first round had results not gone their way.
But the chance of 2 teams higher than them losing in the 1st week was slim. I still don't like how come second round the Tigers and Warriors were treated pretty much as equals despite the Tigers getting the "home ground" in Sydney and had won the week before.
It's a flawed system with good and bad.
In any case I was glad to see the NRL darlings, the Tigers get their just desserts. The refs gave them the rub of the green for weeks on end, even in the Warriors game they got a better deal than the Warriors.
On the other hand it is a shame to lose an exciting attacking team from the playoffs.
I sense Snowman lurking and about to impose his "lose and your out" sensibilties on this thread.
