Following their first-round victory, the side lost five games straight. A mid-season revival followed, though, which saw them notch seven straight victories to move into the top four. This run included a 40–0 win over the Canberra Raiders. A string of poor performances in the back end of the season followed, though, including a 44–22 loss to the Roosters and a 26–6 loss to the Melbourne Storm in the last two rounds, which saw them lose eight out of their last 11 games and put them out of finals contention.http://footyforecaster.com/NRL/MatchResults/Wests_Tigers NRL Match Results: Wests Tigers Footy Forecaster 19 October 2012 With 11 wins and 13 losses, the Tigers' season came to an end with them in 10th place out in the 16-team competition.http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/tigers-report-card-2012/story-fnfoi2di-1226478070437 Tigers Report Card 2012 The Daily Telegraph 19 October 2012 Despite the result, the Tigers performed well in small areas of the game, which showed in terms of the team's overall statistics at the end of the season. The error count was one area where they performed well, being ranked second in the league. They also performed strongly in terms of tries, scoring 89; only six teams scored more. They lacked penetration, however, ranking close to the bottom in the league in terms of line breaks, tackle busts, off loads and metres gained. Defence was also a problem, with the Tigers conceding 45 points more than they scored. The failure of the club's new signings to perform as expected hurt the Tigers, while injuries to several key players, including Robbie Farah and Lote Tuqiri, compounded their situation.
