**Live game thread* WT vs Eels

[Demps]

We lost by 8 and Parramatta scored 16 pts while we had 12
Hate the way Moses non stop in ref's ear
Thought best game from pack especially Musgrove and Stephano and surprisingly Kelma

How's you can hear him complaining the entire game...

"😭😭😭 he shoulder charged me sir "

Biggest cat in the game.

 

[Stevec]

Brooks kicking game is a problem fix it

 

[BAGNF05]

I can't give Kelma a wrap but Garner's defence was superb.

A couple of well timed hits isn’t enough from a second rower. He’s a one trick pony.

Good idea we got nothing to lose
The seasons already gone there’s no harm experimenting with different combos until the end of the year
You never know we might strike gold & avoid the spoon whilst also getting ready for next season 🤣

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He was bad tonight, his confidence is way way down but I can’t knock his effort. The second rowers on the other hand..

What were those two trys in the final 10, chopped liver? Where was the halfback, why isn’t he copping it?

 

[Moh]

Benji reckons they should try

7 Brooks
6 AD
13 Hastings

Not sure if he's got an inside word...

 

[RonDingo]

Brooks has zero football IQ, he needs to be released at any cost.
Douhei is not the answer.

 

[Lauren]

Great game, great effort. When needed all our tries came down the left.

Was honestly a better result than I expected. Glad I watched it tbh, as I loved what I saw from all the young lads. Joffa solid again and Musgrove started out on fire. Must say I'm very impressed by Pole especially.
Was it you and Willow who always spoke highly of him? I do know there's a few of you that have often kept us updated on the form of our junior players.

Know we struggle with regaining and controlling momentum but I thought the refereeing was terrible.

Tigers need to offload Ad,Laurie,Brooks, Hastings and Toa

You want to get rid of 4 spine players?
GTFOH.

 

[hugh1954]

Yep. Brooks is a terrier. I don't care what anyone says the kid plays with more heart than 99% of the players out there.

He did good things as well. He was our best kicker. His defense is great.

It's a shame at critical times he makes mistakes.

Agree with this post he is a good player but as you said he is a professional at making those game changing mistakes at vital times ,he has been doing it for years.Its a question of has the balance finally tipped and we can no longer afford those mistakes with some great young players comming on

Kelma has more shin sooks then Duggan

He should be the coach with suggestions like that..


... why has no one else ever suggested this ?

Thanks Benji

Parra was $1.18 for a win before the game. Very proud of the effort the team put in. Improvement and confidence clear today especially in forwards. Backs also looking much sharper. With Doehi getting involved at centre or five eight the team will gradually improve more. Congratulations on the very improved effort tonight Tigers.

 

[jadtiger]

I believe if AD had the touches Brooks had we may have scored double the amount of tries.

AD was very poor tonight.I will give him the benefit of the doubt tonight but at times he looked like a 3 year old who didn't get what he wanted

 

[Magpie_Magic]

That soft try by Moses early in SH cost us big.

Really poor read by To'a.

He executed a simple two on one twice, not that great mate. All up he was ordinary but as I said he tries his heart out. Overall that wasn’t a bad effort from them but I’m sick of the two fairies in the second row. Get rid of them. Hastings set up a try for Laurie and was otherwise pretty solid I thought.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Yeah, he was sulking for sure.
Every time he was on screen he looked like he'd been crying.

Come on mate, if that was Brooks who played like AD tonight, you would be in meltdown mode saying he was a tanker and would probably organise ralllies and online petitions to make sure he never plays first grade for the club again.

 

[GCfan]

He can't keep keeping his spot.

Kapoa to replace him from next week please.

I’d almost try Tupou. He looks more threatening

He won a game for our U20s at Corrimal against Illawarra. He turned the momentum of the game through his power running and defence. He hits hard in defence and runs hard with the ball.

Call a spade a spade.

What more is there to say ?
