LIVE GAME Round 21 versus Panthers

[BAGNF05]

Leave Makasini to develop for another 8 months with a pre-season. He is a kid and this side is going nowhere anyway.

I couldn’t be bothered watching To’a play half arsed anymore. Give someone else a shot.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

In saying that he was still better than half of the piss ants we had on the field

Duey looked the most likely to create anything.

 

[Droppy05]

if benji goes Luai goes

Would anyone really care at this point the guy isn’t worth 1.2m

I am happy for both to leave tonight. Both are up themselves though.

Wooden Spoon - WE ARE RIGHT IN THIS NOW...

Spot on HSV, with our draw we could be last in 3 weeks time.

One of our issues is very noticeable - the Panthers use their kicks from Cleary to attack and do it effectively. Our kicks appear to be defensive to get into position to set the defensive line. Our left winger is tall and yet has not contested one of our kicks.

Thread 'Kicking game'

Aug 16, 2024

This is something we need to focus on in the offseason. It's so important to the attack, and it's not just the halves that should be competent, you want a kicking threat across the park. Look at the top team's attack, everything revolves around a kicking game.

Coz we’ve got Madden coming ! And we wonder why Galvin left !

Mate, just piss off with the loser take of "the refs are robbing us" gripe every 2 mins. The team is just shit, and coached just as badly.

Two things can be true at once. We are shit and the referees are shit

 

[BirchgroveTiger]

Our kicking game has been atrocious, straight down the throat of Dylan Edwards all night!! We made this bloke look better than he altrady is!! Surely we practice 5th tackle kicking during the week

 

[weststigers]

They look relentless because of the opposition. When you have sdhit defence you can do what you like.

Oh right. Sorry coach. I guess the last 6 teams they beat must also have shit defence. Nothing to do with Penriths quality. I'm guessing Penrith were lucky to play such poor opposition the last 4 years to win those grand finals.

We need to punt Marshall, the experiment has failed, brin in des hasler,he'll either improve the joint or totally [This word has been automatically removed] it, at the end of the day I don't care anymore

Unfortunately Benji is an ex player, not a coach, our club needs a coach

 

[Twodogs]

At this stage May is fantasising just how bad/good 3 years in Long Bay would be over a 3 year Tigers contract.

Harsh, but fair.

 

[Tcat]

What does Benji say to this team back in the sheds? There's nothing good to talk about.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Show them the door, this week preferably.

 

[Tucker]

When May or esp Twal take the hit up before the kick it slows everything down and stifles our last attacking play. Why we play Twal at prop iv no idea, surely there has to be someone else instead, he's just so slow and cumbersome. Absolutly no punch or go forward.

That has to be coaching. It’s happened for years.

 

[hilly1981]

Any footy brain can see what’s wrong with the structures and movement in our team-not sure how the coaching staff can’t seem to fix the issues. Think a few of us could get off the couch and give the team a few pointers on how to suck less.

Wrong people for the job. End of season review "should" show them the door.

I’m out at dinner with the family.
Thank god I made the right choice.

Welcome JOCK

Hope his game has lifted working with Reynolds !

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Panthers are a well coached side with excellent players. I think they may win the comp again
Luai is a class act but the gap in ability is obvious at WTs.
Our best player is Bula.
Our team has competed for most of the year but the gap in class was too great.
Turuva great game.

Also we are missing Sam Fainu. He is a very good player.

 

[Droppy05]

Benji outcoached

Latu/Luai outplayed

Not out coached if you are not a coach.

 

[boonboon]

Just outclassed by a better team and a team at full strength. No disgrace in that.
