LIVE GAME Round 1 vs Knights

[Tiger-ferret]

I am happy to be leading 8 nil but there are a few disconcerting signs out there.

Very tired looking. Kicking game poo

 

[Tom Shines]

We have no pace unfortunately

 

[Lestronge]

Also thier markers are shooting out big time on the 5th tackle and really running the gauntlet with ruck control on that 5th tackle . If I was Romeu I’d be in the refs ear pouting that out , as much as possible .

Rusty first game, but looking good.

Remember we are without Api who is so pivotal in getting our forwards going.

Api and Bula.

We will be stronger yet

That was fun, but I hope Hunt doesn't make a habbit of being that stupid.

Newcastle player was holding his arm in the scrum trying to hold him in .....should been a penalty

 

[Odessa]

Have you ever seen a West Tigers team with Mongrel


I like it

 

[Stevec]

Thanks to knights error count weve actually kept a team to zero at half time
On the other hand our errors Twal and Seyfarth cold drops
Also Bird no foot on ball while playing it and De Silva getting involved while out of play .
Got to fix this up .We seem slow to pack and feed scrums hope that doesn't bite us in 2nd half

 

[Lestronge]

We have no pace unfortunately

How do I downvote this negative bullshit

 

[Wiz]

I love that Skelton has ran so much but at the end he might be gassed in 2nd half. Really need our centres to have a few more runs.

Agree. He was gassed at the end. 5 runs in the first ten minutes for him!

 

[hodgo]

I'm still stuck on the boys making mistakes and holding on

 

[Spartan117]

Great energy from us.
We have some defensive issues on our right (no surprise).
Galvin looks slow.
I’m loving the tigers being back.

We need to stop them finding they're front so easily.

We're not winning the ruck.

 

[Raybannedman]

We seem fitter. Didn't let one in before HT

 

[Wiz]

Douhie trucking it up a fair bit

He is but not that hard?

 

[tig_prmz]

We are having a lot of luck go our way.
Hopefully it sticks around for the next 40.

Romey has been inspiring.

Yeh loads of luck.

NRL definitely doesn't want a team winning 4 spoons in a row.

Plenty of positives but crap loads of negatives too

Even the Roosters who got flogged by Broncos by 50 would have put 50 on the way Knights have played

 

[Halbrowne61]

Regarding my comments re TDS in the last trial, I withdraw them. Is playing a good game, best for a long time.
Tigers going ok but self destructing at times ( as per usual) but we are getting the bounce of the ball.
A quick try after half time may see off the Knights. JL looks a bit stuffed on his first outing in 25. May not see out the 80 mins.
Also 18 missed tackles by us not a good stat.

 

[FootyEnjoyer]

Positive signs, but that completion rate needs to come up. I reckon a few less dropped balls and that would have been a much better half. Thought Twal was very impressive

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

1st time keeping a team scoreless at halftime for 3yrs.

Lucky Knights are off but give credit to our defensive scramble and coming off the line

May 119mtrs & Skelton 128mtrs in 40mins is massive we would struggle to have anyone hit 100mtrs a game last season.

Twal also doing the offload for the try and punching up the middle holds us well.

Positive start we must hold the ball in the 2nd half.

 

[happy_tiger]

We gotta defend better despite keeping them to zero .......18 missed tackles ...twice as many as the Knights

 

[Tim Sheens]

We have no pace unfortunately

Not out wide, though Mason has got a bit of toe, particularly over 30m or so.

Newcastle win this by 18 if they hold the ball
