LIVE GAME *SPOILERS* Round 2 vs Raiders

[Yossarian]

Dude it’s not referees, you have to be able to defend

Dude, when did I say it's not?

 

[Fraze23]

Watching the Cronulla wingers last night fight for every inch of territory, then see Staines and Toa fight to not get hurt.


How fit are Elford and Whatuira???

Staines is that small he has to fight the grass before the defence even gets to him.

 

[Demps]

Bula x Galvin x Fainu
Great combination.

Sullivan x Bateman x the backs
Disgrace

 

[SeanT]

Faatape has been solid . He made a rookie error coming in and not trust Galvin for that try but other than that he’s held Tomoko reasonably well .
But Sullivan and Toa can’t keep this up . They won’t play first grade this year . Sullivan has to get hooked . He’s literally a passenger out there . And not a good one . Like an old man who can’t walk who was a sucking chest wound , and 2 broken legs . Yuck !

Did you notice Every Toa tackle he grabs with arms first or gpes around the ankles so clumsily ihe looks like an under 12.

My god. If he plays again in this team we deserve the spoon.

 

[weststigerman]

Thoughts on Bateman?
Seems to be a bit ordinary to me.

Apart from giving away stupid penalties he’s probably about the 11th worst player on the field for us.

To’a, Faatape, Seyfarth, Sullivan, Klemmer, Stef all worse.

 

[Speed2burn]

Their inability to tackle is causing way more problems than the ref.

Fair … do you think we’re having a fair go with the officials though?

 

[1908]

That was pathetic. Why do we always look smaller and softer than every other team we ever play? To be this consistently pathetic is actually admirable in a way. It cv any be easy to maintain such low standards

 

[Tucker]

Score line actually not that bad considering how bad we are in defense.

Theyve had 62% possession as well.
Things could be a lot worse.

 

[BalmainJnr]

They haven't had enough possession to

Yeah and we only have ourselves to blame (as usual).

 

[barnsta]

2 tries that shouldn't of been for the raiders, but at least it appears the boys can finally score some points.
Hoping we finally get more possession of the ball and some luck from the ref and maybe we cause the upset of the round

 

[SeanT]

Staines is that small he has to fight the grass before the defence even gets to him.

The grass wins TKO second round. 🤣

You need to be more positive mate

I told my colleague last week that I didn't think Tigers would get the spoon again. I said they would finish in front of at least 2 teams. I have now changed my mind. This defence is really woeful and clearly not up to NRL standard. Raiders have 40 pts in them here.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Klemmer and Uto had to tackle a lot, so I won't hammer them too much.
Seyfarth disgusting
fonua good bar 1 bad miss which is my fault for wrapping him
all centres and wingers can be summerd up as ineffective or worse
sullivan
We can't wait 8 weeks for Twal to run hard like every other year.
Bateman needs a new brain and a new body, great otherwise.
Fainu, Galvin, Api and Bula look good . Paps also looking better with better ball players around him.
I'd be putting sezer on for the other muppet.

 

[liltiger]

That’s the problem 😒

No, but it doesn't help.

 

[Yossarian]

Bleached his hair and wants everyone to call him “Bud”. Red flags everywhere. I’m not surprised he’s crap.

I think he'll be wearing the Magpies jumper soon enough...

 

[krissy]

Both commentators have called us embarrassing at different points.

I agree with them

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Olam will come in at the expense of Toa. Having Olam today would make a huge difference.

 

[gallagher]

It's a tough watch.

 

[Leck]

Benj's rebuttal in the Tele on his work ethic was I'm in at 5:45am everyday.

It's obviously not working. He should probably read Fabio's book,...actually the whole team should.
