LIVE GAME Round 7 versus Brisbane

[69tiger]

What positional changes would you make when Luai come on? Into the halves?

I think the positional change should be Luai at six and Madden at seven where to fit a AD is a interesting one —but in the press conference last night Benji said I put Jock on to try and ice the game isn’t that telling us something? ?Should’ve put him in sooner, I think.(benji obviously had no confidence in us winning without madden at that stage of the gamevery strange.)

Haven't we already worn our orange jersey at Leichhardt? It's only been at Campbelltown we've worn the white jerseys as our home because it's Magpies home apparently even though they only started playing there in 1987 after ditching their real heartland. Only like 20 years max I suppose until they all die out. Maybe then we can finally just be displayed as the Tigers on the matchups and television instead of the Wests Tigers, just like every other team is just displayed as their mascot name. So annoying seeing it displayed like that, just looks aesthetically unpleasing.

Must be the reason we lost last night

Masi droppd
May wing
Adam D centres
Jock 7

I agree with almost all of this.

Why not Turuva and Tavana as wings? Or bring a Skelton in out of the closet?
May + AD as centers is probably a good pairing.

One of the things I dislike about Benji's coaching style is he doesn't respect combinations. Players need to feel comfortable playing around the same players.
We are chopping and changing our backline and we need people to feel comfortable with who they are playing with.

Jock + AD formed a good combination. We need to keep our backline similar throughout the season so that wingers trust their centers and people don't move in on defense. Sadly we keep changing now and TayTay May returning has added talent while breaking working combinations.

We changed too much this game. We still did well, Brisbane is a top side but we need to do better, just stop changing so much Benji.

Did you miss all the 6 agains we received in their 20m zone?
Worry about how we can improve rather than sulking about ref decisions

While people are having a sulk they could also argue that maybe those 6 agains were given for a reason, just a shame we didn't do much with them.

You could also ask why then with so many 6 agains in the red zone why weren't the Broncos even issued a warning about repeated infringements.

HBG decision maybe, don't like orange.

Definitely need a bigger Magpie. 🤣

Haven't commented till now been busy
However Benji
give the kid Makasini a break in Nsw Cup for a couple of weeks to regain some confidence which must be shot to bits at the moment
His 6 errors must be some kind of record
You have Toa or Skelton on the sideline .If either were in his place I dare say we might have won over Broncos ( i know Skelton had a brain snap vs Knights last week but with Makasini its a pattern week after week )

Did our on field leaders approach the ref and state this case?
If this was Parra, Moses would have made sure someone got 10 in the bin.

Other comment Andrew Voss is so biased against tigers
Questioned Warriors sin bin vs Tigers like he doesn't know the rules
Constantly deriding tigers with so many years since won 4 in a row which he mentioned 10 times I counted on replay .
He constantly talked up poor struggling Broncos and Tigers excessive fan base making it a "cauldron " for poor Bronx
Looks for reason why Tigers trys might be disallowed with no such scrutiny on other team .
He tries to sound impartial but in Tigers games he fails at this .
He annoys the sh* t out of me !

 

[Stevec]

I thought Douehi ,Api .Bula and Samuela were fantastic as usual
But Jerome Luai I thought had an "ordinary " game almost like he's not fully recovered from his knee injury and if so he should not have played

Moses has quietened down in that area in the last 2 weeks but couldn't help but notice that he is still pretty close with the adjudicating officials, only too happy to share a drink with the referee during a stoppage in the game.

I saw Adam Reynolds complain to the ref about all the 6 agains. Todd smith said he will take them into account. Never gave anither 6 again after that. Even with bronx still being all over us. Yet when we were on them for even half the time they were on us they were awarded them.
