LIVE GAME Trial 2 vs. Dragons

[tigertuff]

Putrid performance so far. I wish they would run with some intent to hurt the defence. Same old rubbish.

 

[Kaito]

Man what a horrorshow.

Looking at our stats, run meters time in possession is Okay. But defensively:
Dragons 5 line breaks to 0
32 Tackle breaks in 27 minutes, we have only had 11. BENJI MASHALL CMON we need to train on tacking!

Effective tackle 84% dragons, vs 78% WT
20-32 missed tackkes

Were talking about the dragons. You can stack the team lists together and our side is better in most positions particularly the front row...It shows we are still making meters...

I am watching one Mikaele Ravalawa, a dragons winger - Barge through Papalii and Seyfarth!

Were Buttersoft and were not even made in New Zealand anymore.

Marshall hasn't trained in defense and tacking and this is the result. Soft tries being scored all over the park by the dragons.

Team has had so many positional changes and chops
replacements in that first 40. Benji . treating it like
a hit-out, just regular trial and Flanagan is treating
it like a Rd.1 clash lol. They bullied Sullivan down
that left side, Flanagan is a strategist. Think they
even hooked bud. Not indicator on how.well do this
year, the same as if we whooped them by 50 points

Bud is just another brooks/wakeham type…atleast brooks was fast and could defend

 

[SeanT]

And Papali'i is a middle, not an edge player.

Not sure why Papali'i plants his legs in defence. Move up and hit them. Frustrating.

Looks like it’s going to take some time to find the right halves pairing, but at least we have options.

Bateman back in team should help, but it’s been very poor defensively.

 

[Tucker]

The second worst team for the past 2 years is putting a clinic on the worst.
Should have put this game on in Vegas.

 

[SeanT]

Yeah Sullivan wont be in the side surely. Offers nothing at the moment.

 

[Lestronge]

Unless we can sign some more strike weapons we need to find more ways to get Bula the ball when we attack their line. Our inability to score when we have opportunities kills our energy. Just like 23’

We just arnt finding the edges . We don’t have enough shape . The play is dying with our halves/ back rowers . We need to use them more as decoys . The defence knows our edge forwards are the primary targets .

 

[innsaneink]

Seyfarth run over like a speed hump again.

Looked like he'd been on the piss

 

[BAGNF05]

Was waiting for some Brooks hate 😂

 

[SeanT]

Galvin for 5/8

Why not. Sullivan is a liability in defence and hasmt offered much in attack.

 

[jadtiger]

Putrid performance so far. I wish they would run with some intent to hurt the defence. Same old rubbish.

Not enough effort on either side of the ball,we need to attack with our defence and our club has never learned that

 

[weststigers]

Wasn't buying the Galvin hype one bit but gotta admit, he has looked like pure class every time he has touched the ball. Not too many touches just yet, but they've all been good.

Yes, I too bow down the child Prince of Concord. I am a believer. I'm sorry I ever doubted him.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

No go forward, our forwards were overpowered, we do not try to create overlaps, just one-up. We were too slow and created only one chance. Except for Bula, no one showed anything.

 

[WestsTigers4VR]

Calling it now, we come back and win. The completion rate is pretty good at 92%, have high completion offer more opportunities we just have to ice it. We are playing system footy in term of error rate just need to keep the defence up and point will come eventually

 

[BAGNF05]

We just arnt finding the edges . We don’t have enough shape . The play is dying with our halves/ back rowers . We need to use them more as decoys . The defence knows our edge forwards are the primary targets .

We found Lobb in space and he stopped

 

[finnzo]

I carnt believe we have signed Sullivan for 4 years

 

[weststigers]

Not enough effort on either side of the ball,we need to attack with our defence and our club has never learned that

Seyfarth getting tangled up in the ruck multiple times allowing Liddle to scoot.

Plays one good game, then follows up with rookie performances.

 

[happy_tiger]

People can say it is just a trial ....but our defensive mindset and attitude stinks ....nothing changes no matter what happens on or off the field

 

[Lestronge]

We found Lobb in space and he stopped

Yea , I guess he didn’t trust he could beat lomax to the line . But the point is we found him in space ie. the opportunities are there .
