LIVE GAME Round 15 vs. Titans

[upthetigers]

I forget which try it was but the whole team was in a huddle, this game felt different. They all had self belief instead of dropping their heads when something didn't go their way.

It was good seeing Richo on the ground celebrating with the players

Albo was watching..... had no choice...

Wish we played at Leichhardt every week

Surreal atmosphere never goes unnoticed

Wouldn't be fair to the other teams....

Today is our day and one for the Barnes family , Tigers upset of the round we win by 8

You said it!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Upset of the round??? Really??? I thought Souths beating Brisbane was an upset also... how do you judge these things....

 

[rugbygoated]

He is not a "skill" prop who combines brute force with soft hands and vision like Beetson, O'Reilly, Roach etc

He is an elite physical specimen who relatively rarely pumps his legs at full throttle and makes the most of his natural power and athleticism (unlike Pole who maximises his impact through consistent high effort and energy)...

The club is not the reason why Stefano missed Origin selection - that was always on him!

I agree

 

[StarswithStripes]

I got to high five Stefano after the game. Felt like a big kid again but he played awesome.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Did you check your feet? Any dollar bills be on the ground???? I high fived Raudonikis, Brown, and Boyd... I never checked my feet....

 

[StarswithStripes]

Gee Benji speaks well…presser

Yeah not short and defensive like recently. Winners are grinners.

Loved watching Mason go. He's got that strong low to the ground speedy play that will be brilliant when we get some quick play the balls and go forward. Perfect number 14 but really helped us just finally someone running straight.

I bag Stefano all the time. He played immense in that second stint. Had some dominant 1 on 1 tackles too.

Porter and Fainu on edges looked good. Would you put papalii and Bateman back in?

Seyfarth seemed to enjoy his role as a senior player, he not only tackled well but was full of talk to the team.

Miller handled it well. He got twisted onto his back most tackles but he also looked to get hands free for offload opportunity on most runs. So long as we keep being competitive I'd be giving him game time. Also loved seeing him pancake people in defense. Finally someone big enough to slow down the opposition when they tackle. Although he was obviously puffing and struggled a bit getting to those tackles.

Very composed by TDS. Nothing flash. But there was a tackle he made on the fullback in the 2nd half 1 on 1 which was strong chest high tackle and dominant tackle which shows he's improved a lot physically since last time.

Pole runs so well, but he often struggles to get back and push up in defense and he's still falling off tackles and we rarely seem to get clean square markers when he's involved. Got to get stronger tackling!!

Olam loves Leichhardt and lifted the crowd throughout the game with big hits. Leichhardt loves that more than anything.

It might just be because I'm bitter but I love that Galvin was watching miller, TDS and mason win from the sideline rather than on the pitch.

Great effort by the club to win with that line-up. I don't care how ugly it looked and who the opposition was, that was terrific considering the number of senior players out.

Do we win if it's not at Leichhardt? Think about it Richo.

Only thing at my feet were all the “I love Leichardt Oval” cards they handed out before the game 🤣

Loved that guy sliding through the mud... half naked....

Got to say Im proud the boys rose to the occassion and honoured Barnes in spirit. New regime and new spirit, compare today with the insipid debacle of supposedly honouring Raudonikas. This year- proud, previous- no spirit, pride or toughness. Well done everyone.

I saw that too. It was as Api was kicking for goal to make it 12-10.

For this week. Baby steps..

For this week. Baby steps..

Too true, but enjoying the win and not feeling like hiding in a hole when discussing the weekends footy with your mates at work will be magnificent- at least for this week coming. Hopefully a few more to come.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Its not you... never forget.

 

[Droppy05]

Yeah he was a real leader out there today. TDS linked up brilliantly with him and kept the Titans on the back foot

Average first half, but was embarrassed by the youngsters and then turned it on in second half.
