LIVE GAME Round 3 versus Souths

[Winston Churchill]

Games like that ARE the reason we will continue to miss the 8. Every fan should be mega pissed that was lost tonight, none of this 'time to gel' bullshit or 'its only early'. When there is 5 rounds left and we need to win 5 and be lucky results go our way to scrape into the 8, these are the games that mattered early on. If the Tigers are to ever become a force lol they need to put these games to bed early in the year. If the Tigers are not 3-3 by round 7, write the year off.

Its like we worked on defence all week, maybe we did. That was a positive

 

[TigerBurnsy]

it shows how shiiiiiiiite cowboys are

Cows fans would be absolutely [This word has been automatically removed]ing dreading this coming season after watching that

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Mate,, they were looking to do miracle passes Instead of running,,, Douhei was in space and then throwing the ball out the back to players behind the defence.. it’s insane when the halves refuse to take on the line

Was a strange game from us.
We totally changed how we played from last week all tactics were different.

 

[clontarfkid]

Benji just called that a high quality game lol….idiot.

It was a mediocre quality at best..there for the taking for anyone who wanted it
Benji remains deluded
Missed a few critical tackles,but cldnt do anything with the ball in their 20
Big issue..still

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Agreed. Wasted 2 points against a team around us on the ladder which end up being the difference in a tight com

apparently we dominated the stats too so its 100% on our attack
benji style is worrying

so did the commentators they also said it

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Is Api slow out of dummy half or am I being too critical, the slowness seems to start from there.

It’s because he keeps talking a step or 2 before passing instead of passing off the ground. It impacted our attack in the red zone badly.

Good lord, reading some of these comments proves to me why I didn’t bother for so long. Plenty of ppl on here have never played and it shows… good luck to you all… I wish you all the best. To those heroes that think they know it all, keep believing… maybe one day you will understand that the game isn’t played with comments from your 90yr old mums basement. Yes we weren’t great, but if you think there wasn’t a big difference in defence with the players available you have rocks on your head. Thank you and goodnight.

Injuries are more important than lamenting a loss we should have lost.

 

[Tom Shines]

Yep, always next year hey fella. Bet this hippy has been saying the same kumbaya thing since 2012.

Lot of people always want to tell ya how much better things will be next season and about all the young kids coming through… it would be nice to one year have a current season to enjoy and even have Top 8 dreams … like other teams fans get to do at least every coupla years

Gosh people here are fickle. One week Doueihi will play origin and Skelton is an underrated gun, next week both should be dropped... Neither had a good game, but we lost by 4 so let's not get too doom and gloom.

Forwards did a great job to give us field position, so that's a positive. Though South's errors helped too.

Im long over brave defeats these days… 2 competition points or nothing …the Benji Marshall I have seen so far this season would say the same

 

[Betterdays22]

totally out muscled them too.

Having our two starting centres out hurts but they should win that every day of the week regardless. Back to the frustrating, flat footed, directionless attack we saq last year

 

[Tim Sheens]

May as well. Twal has thrown more passes this year than Doueihi

Hahahahaha.

 

[LiamFulton]

the forwards did well tonight. I'm a big Bula fan but jeez he looks like his head is somewhere else atm, he's not going badly but we need him at his best

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

The game came down to a lazy fullback and the usual zero attack from the halves. Its that simple. Centres were average. Forwards were adequate tonight for a win, they should be pissed at the backs for not doing their job tonight.

How a 5foot fullback outlept a 6foot 2 fullback is beyond me... Bula idk looks disinterested ... has he checked out????

lol what sook.
It wasn’t the fans fault champ.
You have clearly never played this game judging by your in-depth comments

That's not what I said though. I'm just pointing out that people here will spend a week calling a player the next immortal, then the next week calling for their head after we inevitably lose. Happens like clockwork

Bravo.

I have zero patience for the 15 years of the 'next year' hippies.

I really don't understand our capitulation in the opposition's 20. To my mind it has been our biggest issue for the past few years at least. I'd like to see us execute some set plays, rather than do hot potato every set. Seems like a coaching failure to me to be honest, because we have the attacking threat on the roster. And we have been through a million halves parnterships with this as a pervasive issue.

Totally agree !!
I keep thinking of Chris Lawrence running angles at speed close to the try line and scoring, not having a hand laid on him in the latter part of his great career. Skelton running straight at Gray just wasn’t going to work even with weight difference! Coaching can sort this I reckon . Let’s hope so, Warriors were impressive earlier today.

You can blame all the podcasters for that.
