LIVE GAME *SPOILERS* Round 2 vs Raiders

[Tucker]

WT beat themselves again.

I thought the guys in green who outplayed them were the reason we lost.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

This is the moment Stef enacts his get out clause.

Darn

 

[Stevec]

Last year Canberra beat us by 1 point and 4 points
This year Canberra beat us by 20 points
We are really making progress LOL what a joke

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Hahahahaha, might land on his chest if he was 9 feet tall.

Or if he put himself in a good position to receive the ball

 

[Milky]

Low expectations? ...

No, obviously disappointed but to keep it within 20 points against the Raiders, who I think will be a top 4 team this year, isn’t extremely poor especially in circumstances where they already had their first run out last week and had that momentum coming into the game.

 

[Twodogs]

Just a thought....

I believe Sezar is a Muslim.
With ramadam at the moment, perhaps his limited game time is due to this?

If Ramadan is a thing here, every WT is Muslim except Sezer and Galvin. They're all playing like they haven't eaten all day.

 

[Fraze23]

Intensity gone up the final 20
Need to be on from the start though

Think there's some good signs we can build on.
Few players I'd like to see depart immediately though.

Definitely a few positives there. That first 15 minutes without the ball zapped us.

Good signs from the bench forwards, Pole, Fainu and Twal were all solid.

Galvin was incredible. It's embarrassing that he's running the ball to the line and getting smashed because there are no running options.

For me Sullivan, Seyfarth, Staines and Toa are not up to it.

Scary thing is watching reserve grade before this game, the cupboard is bare when it comes to depth...

 

[Speed2burn]

Canberra are a tough footy side. Last week showed that, we’ve still got a long way to go to reach their level

They’ll be there abouts in the 8 100%

 

[WestsTigers4VR]

how so?

Let the game play, stop blowing useless penalties. He missed a clear lost ball twice, one he called a strip which resulted in the penalty the other one went completely unnoticed.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Trying to be positive but we have 4 maybe 5 decent players...we're stuffed

Been that way for years…

 

[Tucker]

That loss is on Benji.
His inexperience is on display.
Poor team selected and prepared.

 

[Tito Santana]

Effort wasn’t bad in the end.

Get rid of Klemmer.

Olam back next week. Staines is shit. I would shift Toa to the wing or just cut him.

Sullivan - never to be seen again.

 

[hilly1981]

Seriously hate the foxleague commentators.. always looking at ways of finding something to smash the Tigers with. VOSSY the most annoying flog with his drama queen commentary.

Canberra last year were the arsiest team to make the top 8 since Brisbane in 07. This season, they're the real deal. Don't let our sh*those efforts take away from what was a very clinical performance by Canberra.

Top 4 the raiders will be lucky to sneak into the 8

 

[SeanT]

This is the moment Stef enacts his get out clause.

Mate il pack his bags. He wont get anywhere if he doesnt brong any kind of aggression.

Hes so skinny. Rubbish

So you are blaming the ref are you?
Thats embarrassing....

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Galvin is tired but made a good run. Give the guy a break he is 18 and it's his 1st grade debut.

Anyone bagging him on anything he did today is nothing but a troll.. anyone hanging around this forum telling other posters that the referees did a good job or that Galvin did anything but look like an absolute superstar in the making is half a wit short of a full one.

 

[jadtiger]

We certainly didn't deserve to win but considering the refereeing being so lopsided it could have been far worse.Our main problem is our defense has improved on last year but still needs far more work(aggression wise)
Galvin had a good debut and looks a good FG player and a starter ,on the other hand Sullivan looked poor

Sullivan. It has only taken one game to see he is a dud.
