LIVE GAME Round 5 versus Eels

[AusTigers]

I think douiie can take right centre spot madden is playing just too well

1.bula
2. Makasini
3.may
4. Douiie
5. Tavana / Turuva
6. Laui
7. Madden

Or is the Turuva / tavana combo can't be changed ?

 

[Garrry]

So proud of our team, their fitness is a big plus, 2nd on the ladder yeeeeehaaaaa

 

[happy_tiger]

It was a win .......not a great win ......one of those wins where you don't have draw a masterpiece to describe it
But we got the two points and move on to our 2nd v 3rd match up v the Knights

AD was a ball stop today . Needs to give it .

If he had passed to turuva no need for golden point. He is a solid player but he has to learn to pass

 

[Dino]

I thought Madden's kicking game was pretty poor today. His organising, ball running and goal kicking was great. His defence decent, but thought he kicked poor.

Maddens long kicking game is really hit or miss, when he has space its good but he isnt good under pressure which he was under all night since the eels knew douhei wasnt going to be kicking.

His short kicking game was great tonight and it seems like hes good at it even under pressure tho part if that is tavana competing on every kick

Blow up, ha, what about the sin bit of LL? Refs changed the rules for that one. Thought the onfield ref did a good job but there was a conspiracy in the bunker.

Let me see. Who was in the box? Oh yes, it was a Mr Klown with his short whistle. Enough said.

 

[innsaneink]

Was at game didn't see the penalty to let Madden tie the game was it high? Eels fans here blowing up.

Softer than Moses love tap from samuela...ledger square

 

[Moh]

We don't win these games.

Something is brewing.

I like the look of that, But Id play Tavana on the wing instead of Maka. And I think Star will struggle to make the side again tbh

 

[stevied]

But way worse. Smith was a manipulator but Princess Mitch is a whinging cry baby. Should be cited for touching of the ref. Sick of the inconsistencies of the officiating.
But, anyway, we won. All that counts.

It was almost like watching the Storm telling the ref what to do in the days of Cameron Smith..Smith was a manipulator with chat but not a whinging cry baby like Princess Mitch.

I really hope luai doesn't come back early next week. Chance of reinjury is very high and not worth bringing him back if we're humming like we are. AD and Madden 2 from 2 and it creates an unnecessary forced change. If we did though, It's gotta be Luai 6 Madden 7 with AD at centre, Makasini wing and Luke Lauli'i first trip to perth. Twal is too good at lock to move right now

 

[bythebeardofzeus]

Our fitness got us home. Very important to win games like this not just for the points but for the belief. Need to be more clinical in attack and start better moving forward.

Up to 2nd on the table Tigers fam, how good is that!!

🐯💪

 

[innsaneink]

OK - I've been in the sheds and the vibe is that we played crap and won. Next week we play the Nuked Knights with Brown, Ponga & Best out, so no time to think we are any bloody good yet.

As.long as theyre thinking they played poor....it doesnt matter what we think here...glad theyre seeingnit for what it is

 

[Siberian Kitten]

That was a haaaard game. Very hard, very fast. Both teams were gassed at the end. I'd like to see better organised attack in the red zone but the effort and smarts have improved tons.

 

[hammertime]

2 points is 2 points but we still need to improve, 2025 tigers for about 30 minutes today

Makasini needs to move back to the wing

Yep. Toa back, Mak on the wing and Luke L left right out

 

[gregjm87]

But was a legit penalty though

Not really.

 

[Yossarian]

Parra were horribly offside for both field goals. If they went any earlier they’d be in last week’s game.

 

[weststigers]

It's interesting. Parra falling like flies all game and we had no injuries.

We must be a tough team to play.

Royce Hunt had a good cameo today.

 

[stevied]

Moses has soft looking hands, no wonder the the ref likes him touching him.. 🤣

Didn't have the awareness or guts to do anything about it.
