LIVE GAME Round 8 v Raiders

[SeanT]

How good is Adam Douehi
This guy gets better every week
Luai better 2nd game back
Note Raiders did not score a point while we had 13 on the field
Luke L a good game
Our pack great and what about big Royce at the end
Weve lost 2 games by 4 pts and 1 pt
2nd best defensive side in the NRL and a pretty good attack
This WT 26 have zero relationship to past years
WELL DONE BENJI

Yeah that kick from Douehi to the corner was all class. Setting up for a field goal though is still all over the shop.

We got very little reward for our dominance as far as six agains. They were trying to slow us down all game and Klein didn’t even blink. The game the NRL has invented is now basically won and lost by six agains and sin bins. Our yardage game today for 70 minutes was unbelievable and we should have put 50 on them at least

 

[Jolls]

It wasn’t panic it was anger.
We would have put 50 through these guys tonight if not for that.
Our experienced guys need to stand up and lead rather than let their mates down.

there was some of that and a lot of BS. The system is working and it broke down with 12 men. Not great but it wasn't like Api was off for the duration. There were some lapses but nothing to panic about.

 

[Funnel Webb]

Overall not a bad game, I think our attack was still a little clunky and wasn't up to the scratch it had been before last week. Turuva was a beast and Doueihi's running game was A+ as usual, his kicking game was decent also. Still disappointed with Luai but it's a lost cause to even complain about him. Looks like we'll be missing Koroisau next week as he'll probably be suspended and there's a cloud over Bula.

 

[magpies forever]

is it just me or does anyone else think Samuela Fainu becoming our most dangerous forward close to the line

Can't disagree at this stage.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Tbh honest apart from API would there be one player from our squad in the kox for state of origin? Hope not. Rather then stay with the club haha. Selfish but oh well

Doubt it. Daley isn’t a fan of the May’s, and I think Sam is about a year away before his name starts getting thrown around. Another guy who has a logjam in front of him.

 

[SeanT]

Most likely loose api for 2 weeks. Carrigen tackle was similar.

Annoying but it's been a tough 7 weeks where he hasn't had much of a break. Could help the season. If we can get at least one win in the next 2 games

We need to up our offer. It was reported a 5 year extension at $600k. I would pushing up to $750k

My god this team still requires the use of blood pressure tablets.

I have been on blood pressure tablets for 40 years (i am 73),i put it down to supporting the Tigers since the mid 1960's

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

Why? From about the 50 minute mark, once we got back in front, it was never in doubt.

Yep, never been more relaxed for a tigers win when down

That 2nd half was actually the most relaxed ive felt watching a tigers game in a very long time

 

[Jolls]

Even with 10
Day turnaround. ?

11 day protocol.

 

[Betterdays22]

If Makasini is looking for lessons on how to bounce back he only has to have a chat with Luke Laulili

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The transformation we’re seeing from Twal is only seen by players who go to new club’s, in new environments. Not the same club for 7 or 8 years and was a punchline to his own fans. This kind of transformation needs to be studied. That’s how rare it is.

 

[SeanT]

That ball play to Royce at the end was a pearler

Jonathon Thurston like.

 

[dacoots_tiger]

The Big Rolls Royce steamed over, what a great way to finish a dominate second half. I cant ever remember smiling this much in round 8!!

Well Lock and centre were the positions that were most troubling. Lock is now sorted. He owns that spot

 

[Betterdays22]

He is also just about the biggest backrow threat in the air in the league

I’m thinking you should get used to it.

Maybe Benji deserves a little bit of credit for the improvements in many of the individuals?
