LIVE GAME Round 5 v Broncos

[GNR4LIFE]

I've had a few beers but did the game really change after Latu went off?

No. They already gained the ascendancy.

15% plus metres than ours, so a fairly dominant stat for mine.

0.8 meters per run more - bugger all for mine

Does FOX league intend to cover the Wests Tigers at all? The love fest and Vonny giushing over them is bloody atrocious.. 2 teams were out there tonight FFS!

Sorry,but Im not seeing that out of today at all
What I did get out of today is the criticality of Galvin to our attack,and disappointment with Latu tbh..
And what a great finisher Tureva is..as good as any in the NRL...and Bulas athletism
Got beaten by 20+...always plenty of excuses,but I certainly woukldnt be extending Benjis contract atm

he’s under contract for a few more years. My point being the team is playing good footy. Overmatched in terms of personnel today however away from home with two 19 year old halves, that’s a great effort. Bro you sound like you hate Santa Claus.

I am concerned about our long kicking. 3 halves had a go tonight, it is also Luais weakest area. That's 4 halves who's best option is a bomb landing on the fullbacks chest 25 metres out.

Depth also a massive issue. Who's next after Luke L and Sukkar?

Not much else that seems irreparable.

Bula looked a lot like the Hammer when he set up Tito’s try. One of those guys who goes a million miles an hour, but looks like he’s gliding.

The media are probably jumping for joy they get to post a negative tigers article tomorrow

 

[davey_farrell]

Can only go as well as the rest of the team.

fair call

Was just thinking this

0.8 meters per run more - bugger all for mine

And that is your prerogative, but still probably the most telling stat in the match along with tries and conversions.

 

[davey_farrell]

And here it comes the Galvin bandwagon knockers!!

What do.you expect we had no ball in the second half!!

Im not a knocker but can you honestly say he had a good second half? i thought Adam when he went to half back did a good job.. Even before the game i honeslty dont believe he is worth a milllion a year

 

[davey_farrell]

Pretty disappointed in API tonight .. very predictable service and missed a few tackles.. looked like his heart was not in it

wow that is a big call, i thought he tried his heart out, but i love Tallen when he came on and should have had more game time

Nah...I look at the outcomes..and the underlying reasons
Benji prizes having 4 x 19 yos in the team.but truth is the seasoned hard heads whom we cld have really used upfront tonite wont play for him and left during the off season
The younger players arent getting any better
..and the 4th ranked half we lent to Souths is instantly improved under Bennett
Much improved roster,but Just not seeing any reindeers atm ...!

 

[davey_farrell]

Was the first try the broncos got an actual try or a gimme for favouritism ?

even the wingers face gave it away it was no try,

It's hard to to do a 'good' job when the team is under the pump. Doesn't help also when the calls are against you.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Given the amount of heart he’s shown the previous two years, we know that’s absolute BS.

FFS are you just a troll? Seriously i am not bagging him, not sayin to drop him, not questioning his courage, ability or talent, I am saying that IMO tonight he did not play to the high standard i have come to expect from him… that a player of his experience and skill was rather predictable and sluggish compared to to his average game.. that i expect more from our captain.. cool?? 🤷‍♂️

 

[davey_farrell]

My take from today. Benji will make it as a coach.

yea i thinks so too, i wasnt sure for a while there

 

[Tucker]

It something to do with brown and love.

What does this mean?

 

[davey_farrell]

Positives:

We kept them to under 50 - no team who has won the GF has ever lost by 50 in the regular season so we are still a hope.

We are still in the black for for and against

We looked the better team in the 1st half for 39.5 minutes

I didn't drink all my beer.

Negatives:

We can't defend against Gridiron forward passes.

well said Leichardt tiger

 

[innsaneink]

What’s with the Walsh love fest? He was very poor tonight

He did fa....we kept Haas quiet too
