LIVE GAME Round 18 vs. Storm

[BalmainBoy67]

Something to be positive about.

Tonight the tigers scored 28 points against the team coming first..

Agree.

I also think if we can get on top of our errors, the outcome may have been different. We actually played some good footy tonight.

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah people are overreacting man we played well

next week we will get them

Well we lost again , but there was moments of really good play , our attack at times was good , but still not straighten the play up enough.
What killed us was we just don’t get are line sorted quick enough, when it’s a change over . On our line we turned are backs , that’s kids stuff .
But I thought it was a really good team effort , no shame getting beat by the storm machine.
And we scored the must points against the storm this year .

 

[Vicious]

We played with two passengers in Olam and Faatape and only a couple of our forwards played with any starch.

how did Bateman and Klemmer go?

 

[Halbrowne61]

I think this is right. We lack depth and class. It’s a good sign that the team has put in most weeks for most of the game. I haven’t been able to say that for years.

Most number of points Storm have conceded all year.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Unfortunately, given our roster we have to play at 90% to win whereas the storm can put in a 60% performance and win

sounds like a win for us 👍

 

[Tim Sheens]

I almost can't wrap my head around how he is playing. You would think because it is contract time he would be playing his guts out. Somehow he is tanking the value of his future contract by the week.

Played like he had already signed elsewhere.

Agree.

This has been a problem for ages, this year in particular its killing us, time for the experienced players to taste reserve grade.

 

[Stevec]

Steph doesn't want the $4mill deal ! Good he's not worth it ! Last week half hearted this week not much better
Take it off the table
Also too many soft tries
We have 2 quality forwards Pole and Sam Fainu .Maybe Sione
No defensive structure .2nd Faalaago try Melb win scrum -go left - only 2 defenders on that side Mason who was stranded with no other Tiger within 10 m of him
Is that how the coaching sets our defensive line?

 

[Winston Churchill]

When I was a teenager playing second row we were coming up against a team who had the current Australian Schoolboy centre.
My coach moved me to centre to mark him.
I told him he was way too fast for me.
His answer?
Make him run slower.

Coach would be up for some retraining and in front of a DEI board if he spoke that harsh to the Prima Donnas of todays game.

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Played like he had already signed elsewhere.

I've heard it's more likely he tries to take up his option with us for next year to give the top teams time to clear out cap space.

Won't need to clear up much space with the way he is playing atm though.

how did Bateman and Klemmer go?

Where we watching the same game , u got to give credit were it’s due , not perfect but a good effort for a team at the bottom

 

[851]

Only thing good thing stef did tonight was win a referee challenge.

We should pull our offer for that pillow, Pole is a far better player at half the price

 

[Spartan117]

how did Bateman and Klemmer go?

Both played as expected.

TBH we have more exciting coming through.

 

[Telltails]

how did Bateman and Klemmer go?

Depends on who you ask?

I said the exact same thing last week, he seems to not understand the worse he plays the less he gets. Tigers should pull the current offer, change it to 600k a year 3 years and offer Pole a bigger longer deal he's my main concern we keep.

This is right. They had no Munster and Grant (half the QLD origin spine), lost 2 players in the first half to go to 15 men, were playing away, didn’t really get out of second gear and still beat us by 12.
