LIVE GAME Round 14 v Panthers

Live Game Discussion
Our effort is better but we are still shit.

If we were half decent we beat Souths, Cowboys and Panthers. The games were there to be won.

We are not half decent though.

Bring on another battle for the spoon.

I have to believe with all of our available $$ we have some better players on the way.
 
Correct about what ? Kit has played NRL before ..so I can’t buy hat you are saying …
I am saying we were close to winning without him, a matter of an inch or two with the tackle on Bula. If Marshall doesn't want him on, that's fine and I'm sure he has spoken to him. I don't understand the upset, it is the NRL.

They lost ! Don’t give me this close loss rubbish every week …. Who’s to say that another fresh player couldn’t have made the difference ?
 
Because NRL go into full protection mode and won't entertain complaints.
Screw the N.R.L they're game they've allowed to become the have and have nots. Other thing that's missing me off is the commentary. Tigers in a hole after 4 game losses in a row, funny how they never mention 3 weeks ago if the Rat king doesn't knock the ball on over the line we beat Souths and if the referees actually did they're jobs and disallowed the try where Turuva got taken out last week we beat the Cowboys aswell. But no the Tigers are in crisis. Bloody joke.
 
Strange on Kit I thought too but tbh, often its better to have May at 80% than others at 100% such is the gap in quality.

Good on Murray for making it but although he made his tackles, he looked like a reserve grader to me. Tidy in his defensive work but not up to it physically and looked gassed pretty quick with the speed of the game.

As we all know, we're seriously short depth. Cost us the past few weeks.
 
Surely your joking? Mason constantly steps inside. He and AD stifled so many attacking raids. I like Heath but I was watching from behind in the second half and so much space on the right he stepped back in and AD man can he not only hog the ball but its also a sluggish play the ball. Romey had his best game for us IMO. I like Benji but our middles looked gassed at times in the second half and he didn’t use Kit. Latu has to start at 6 and Heath in 14.
I don't think we're playing finals this year so I'd like Benji to bring Latu back gradually. Progressively increase his minutes. Let his body adapt & get his endurance where it should be. He'll still get plenty of time with Luai to work on their partnership. Still want to win games, but feel we need to be absolutely ready to go next year.
 
Marshall may have had Kit on the bench for him to train with the NRL team and to experience from the bench what it requires to get to NRL level. He may be doing the young man a favour so he can go back to NSW Cup and improve his game especially his impact with the ball.
This is another failure by Benji not to play a fresh bench player when the forwards were fkd late in the 2nd half. Why did he play Murray who? Had no impact on the game at all. Kit would have added necessary forward punch.
 
Attacking wise probably the best we have looked. Latu is a gun. We need another centre, Luai created plenty for Doueihi but just didn’t have the pace to take advantage.

We look so much better as a team.
This x 1000

How much space did Luai give Doueihi? Any NRL Centre would be frothign at what Luai gave Doueihi today. Half of them probably make two line breaks and if we had a genuine quality centre like Taylan May he puts on a clinic.
 
Luai on the left and Fainu on the right as halves makes sense. Need to see what Latu's kicking game is like, would be nice having an option on both sides of the ruck.

Mason could be dangerous in a roving lock role for the last 20-25 of the game. He's got a good step and the acceleration to cause trouble around the ruck with tiring forwards. Don't think his game is there yet for a full-time half however.
Yeah, I reckon Mason would be a threat in the middle against tired forwards.
