LIVE GAME Round 16 v Raiders

[batboy]

Imagine what we could have done with a full 17 players!!
That poor bench we weren’t allowed to knock earlier in the week - with a utility, half and a hooker

 

[tiger_one]

This game is another example of our season - we're much better than our results.

 

[weststigerman]

Twal, Seyfarth, Mason, Bird are all not first grade quality players.

If 4 out of the 17 aren’t up to it it brings down the rest of the team.

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Seyfarth, Douehi, Twal, Bird do NOT start at any other club and barely make the bench. Until we create an incredibly strong top 17 we will be shit kickers. So sick of seeing Douehi and Seyfarth especially. [This word has been automatically removed]s have to be the most useless ‘first graders’ in the comp

lol didnt they all start it all i thought when bird came on he and seyfarth were all playing better and bula went bad
AD as well went good

 

[Garrry]

And gus on 9 having a good look at Latu now talking Latu up, a bulldog signing in 12 months

Man bird was great and so was AD . Seyfarth , well yea . If we get KPP he’s going to struggle to get into the 17 I think .

AD was rocks and diamonds as per usual, imo douehi and seyfarth have overstayed their welcome.

 

[Tucker]

Ok, ready for the presser . I’m really proud of the effort and we will go away and work on a few things.
Please add we’ve lost 5 in a row, we play like a rabble for large parts of the game,and struggle to put teams away..
And we dont win !!!!!!!!

…and we have Manly next week at 4 Pines who will have had 2 weeks off to prepare for a home game to jumpstart their flailing season.

 

[stephen]

I agree he was, though it was only in the last week that I said " I thought they checked the whole play on a captains challenge" but they didnt in origin so I stood corrected. until Canberra's challenge tonight so idk

Yeah, not much in it.

No chance, we have the bros and he is the clubs future 10 year half whether it’s 7 or
6 it won’t matter, the kid is a generational player and will be up there with Katoa. Tonga are a scary scary side nowadays

Not gonna happen mate. We got the brothers.

 

[Wiz]

But it's not good enough. We almost win every week. Morale will soon drop and we''ll fall away badly in the back end of the season.

I worry about this as well. In prior years our season is over by May as soon as we lose touch with the 8. We are now mid June and still putting in effort for the full 80 and only just losing. I suppose it’s an improvement.

 

[SeanT]

Jeez the backline is so slow and have no depth. Also sorry Jerome but for 1.2 mill you need to finish games off. Not run sideways.

Lots of issues at manly rn, rift between the plauers and coach, we should win that but.. it’s the tigers so we will probably shit the bed

 

[liltiger]

In Masons defence the kid is just that, a kid. Seyfarth has no fkn excuses he’s played first grade (somehow, only at the tigers ofc) for years now. The [This word has been automatically removed] never changes and the idiots at the club thought ‘Yes! let’s sign him for another 4 years!!’. Boils my blood, give me KPP immediate swap now

I get you and ur right it's not his fault it's the bloody coaches. He can see he's struggling but does bugger all to fix it.
We have players on the bench that he never uses, why have them and not an extra forward to help the pack. Marshall's bench rotation is deadset diabolical.

 

[TSP]

Got to admit Skelton has been pretty underwhelming since coming back.

Yeah He’s not the same.

Reminds me of the movie Pet Sematary when the cat died, went to the other side, and then was resurrected by Indian spirits

He wasn’t the same cat when he came back.

That’s Skels, he’s missing his soul.

 

[Tito Santana]

Bula was horrendous tonight.

 

[rihannafan1]

Proud of the effort yet it counts for little. A coaching change is needed for our red zone attack. It is unacceptable to lose this many close games.

TDS no minutes same as last game Kit had no minutes. Benji is just handicapping himself and relying on Terrell and Api far too much

 

[SeanT]

Still losing the same way. Can't put points on when needed. Need more depth, more direction and more speed in the backline.

 

[Lestronge]

Benji bench selections costing us.

Nah TDS was there as Luai cover . My guess is Api to 7, was the plan if Romey couldn’t get through the 80.
We seriously lost because of 20 mins where our 19 year old Aus schoolboy half forgot how to defend and was the root cause for 3 tries .
It’s the same issue I had with AD . You can’t start a game where there’s a defender who puts you 16 points behind . He needs to work on his technique through 80 mins . He’s got good intent and uses his shoulders but , he clocks off too much . And every single nrl player is an ex Aus/nsw/qld/NZ/UK schoolboy . So they will burn you .
