Where is our team at at the moment?

[hank37w]

They didn’t pull their pants down. They couldn’t score a point until Raiders lost a defender.
13 on 13 = Raiders 20 nil.
13 on 12 = Tigers 19 nil.

First 67 minutes = couldn’t score.
Last 3 minutes = couldn’t score.
That’s why they looked demoralised.

. . . . . . . and you thought I was pedantic.🤣🤣🤣

I really don't give a rat's a**e they lost rather more proud about how they've turned it around

years gone by, with 10 left on the clock & down to nil they would have been thinking not long before we're in the sheds with a coldie in hand

but lately we've been seeing them fighting HARD right up to the final whistle

And that alone makes me proud as punch - like I said...no more easybeats

Not easy beats, but still regularly beaten.
9 losses from 12 starts is pathetic.

It’s a fact.
As soon as their bloke came back on, our attack looked ridiculously poor.
Complete shit when facing 13.
Looked like superstars against 12.
Complete shit again when they returned to 13.
Hence, lost the game.

Mate you've gone on and on since the loss about how we couldn't score when the Raiders had 13. If you stopped posting for one moment and just gave a bit of reflection and thought into why that was the case you'd find that maybe while it was 13v13 the Raiders felt they were free to slow down the ruck as much as they could which in turn stopped our attack from being able to flow. When the Raiders copped the sin binning, we didn't pile on the points due to them being a man down but more due to the fact that the Raiders weren't able to slow down the ruck as much as before. We've played teams who were down to 12 before and still struggled to score points. Look at the Newcastle game we played earlier this season. Newcastle were down to 12 twice and we didn't score a point and managed to actually concede. We piled on the points because Canberra lost their game plan and weren't able to lay all over us anymore. The Raiders should've had more than one sin binning with all the illegal ruck play, and it should've happened way earlier than the 67th minute. Really frustrating reading your posts about how we couldn't score when it was 13v13 when you know for a fact why that was the case... Our play the ball speed was a whole second slower than the Raiders and our usual average

We only had one or two sets when their bloke came back on? How can you determine our attack was ridiculously poor when the bloke came on with a minute or two to go? Your posts are a joke

still 15 or so games to go so positive signs looking ahead...no point looking back
tiges are playing positive footy, trying hard, don't get dispirited when they don't get immediate results...just keep trying for 80
this is a different attitude

How could I forget that the refs were against us?
My mistake the boys were excellent the other night. What a great loss.

one thing i've learnt in life hank37w...persistence pays...& the the tiges are showing plenty of persistance!

Because I watched the game.
Something you should try other than bawling your eyes out over the refs. Loser.

Mate I wouldn't expect you to understand. You're the same bloke who instead of celebrating when Brooks kicked the field goal the other night, was posting in the live game thread about how we failed to score a point when Canberra had 13 on the field. Find it hard to believe that's how a fan would react in that situation. You've held on to your point about how we couldn't score when there was 13 on the field and haven't stopped posting about it since. Getting frustrating to read, because you know exactly why that was the case. If you're going to nitpick one team's source of points, why not nitpick how flukey each of the Raider's trys were? They didn't manage a single linebreak, all their tries were off last tackle kicks bouncing off the post and dropped balls. Our attack was so bad according to you, yet we managed 7 line breaks. My word, I can imagine how many posts you'd be making about how terrible the Tigers attack was if they scored the same tries Canberra scored that night

I don't know if anyone remembers the old Frosty Boy ice cream motto,
"Often Licked, Never Beaten."

Currently we are the opposite in that we are, "Often Beaten, Never Licked."

That is an incorrect lie.
My comment was how Luke showed great leadership and thinking to pot that field goal and get us ahead.
As for the Raiders attack, I also made many comments that their attack was very poor and they weren’t throwing much at us at all.
I also made a few comments when we were still 0 score that completing the half chances we were making would win the game.

It’s funny you missed all that stuff and have focused on me not getting excited about us punishing them when a man down, only to shit the bed and still lose. Cool narrative though 👍🏼

I agree, they are playing for close to 80 which is a huge step forward.
Only 12 games left though and it would seem we have to win 10 of them to play finals. Still possible, but dropping Friday night hurt.

This post was immediately after Brooks kicked the field goal. Not sure what the purpose of any of your posts are at this point. We know they had 12 on the field when we scored. Maybe Canberra should aim to keep all their players on the field for future reference?

Yeah I said that, I said the others as well.
I even responded to one of your sooking tirades that Canberra should have had multiple binnings.
Man up you flaccid turd.

 

[Tucker]

The fact is Al, you were one of the most vocal screaming for another sinbin so we could win.
That doesn’t show much confidence in your team.
Now youre coming on here talking about how great we were,
👍🏼 Cool story bro.

Tucker...as a tigers supporter you along with the rest of us have for YEARS been putting up with a lot of crap...from our team, other team supporters, the media, the board, coaches
so it's been easy to feel negative but now the tiges are showing positivity that hasn't been seen for a very very long time that's a massive welcome change
Now our team is showing heart fight and pride
ok they lost but they didn't give up we've good reason to look positive on the back of their performances of late
so let's encourage them and get behind them and show how much we appreciate what they are doing
wins will come ...

I get what you are saying but am far less easily impressed these days.
When I see the team fumble and bumble for more than 3/4 of the game, only to mount an exhilarating comeback yet ultimately lose as they couldn’t get their act together at the death, I don’t feel the need to shower them with praise.
We’ve had squads who played with heart and fight before, but footy smarts and IQ has always been our weakness. We havent had it since Scott Prince and sadly this side is lacking it as well. That game on Friday was setup to go to extra time. We tried to score a try. It was dumb footy. A good side would have slotted the FG and then continued on with their momentum to win it in OT.
We’ve been unlucky at times this year for sure. We have also been pretty terrible at times.
