LIVE GAME Magic Round v Sea Eagles

[Tiger Stripes]

Will Makasini be back for game after the bye?
Benji is the future of the club and will come good. His working with what his got and i belive if we have any chance of turning this club into a powerhouse it will be thru benji but he got it wrong today. Luai ain't the worst we just paid overs for him. Hopefully after bye we have Api, Bula, Makasini

Latu seemed to go MIA after 15 min. at hooker.
I still haven't seen anything to get excited about. Love his brother but hope Latu is only paid what he has shown------------not that POTENTIAL?
That word haunts me.

 

[Tiger in boots 🐅]

I agree. Couple poor mistakes, but physically hes handled it well and looks like he can offload. I reckon he will hold that left edge until Sam gets back then move to the middle, hopefully forcing Pole out of the 17

Needs a few more years developing his skills in cup.

"Inconclusive" - Ashley Klein.

The teams that will be there at the end this year will be the ones who don't have a massive injury list.
The game is getting beyond players - season too long and game too fast and demanding on the body.

Quite often the eventual premiers use the least players thru the year

Skelton finally gets 20 mins
Scores a try and regains possession from a short kick off
Lailiilii on the other hand is totally clueless in defence
Take note Benji stop being so Stubborn

 

[Lukic]

Some 50-50 calls went against the team but please. If we had the run of calls we would of lost 38-26.

I think the forward pack has been dominated completely the last 3 weeks. The backline isn't up to it and then reacts to the domination..

Go up with linespeed and actually hit hard.

Of course there's no excuses for our performance, but we can improve that, especially when we get troops back. What's the solution if the refs just keep screwing us over? Unless we bring attention to it, it will just keep happening.

 

[hodgo]

post contact meters is scary to look at for us

 

[innsaneink]

I didnt ask you for life advice.

I asked you questions in relation to a statement you mate.

If its someone coming out of their own 10 metre line and they stick their hand out, is that a sin bin?

If a decoy runner goes through a gap and a player puts a hand on him, by your definition thats 10 in the bin too?

Its not just this decision, its compounded by multiple blatantly incorrect decisions throughout the game.

You can only blame the players and coach so much... today they had their issues, but even the most one eyed manly fan would concede how biased today's game was in that first half.

It was a soft soft binning...touch n go.. but the ref did say...and it was the main.point...there was no one between mason and the tryline

How does one bring attention to the refs in the modern day without looking like a sook? Many of us can see the SIGNIFICANT impact this is having on the team early on in the match, which is always going to be hard to bounce back from. But we just get labelled sooks and sore losers, even if we acknowledge the crap parts of our game.

I get it if Skelton is signing elsewhere.

 

[stevied]

I just think Skelton would have been a better matchup vs Saab, and better positioning in defence. I take your points though stevied.

I agree with you fully Birch. Skelton on wing v Saab with Luke at fullback.

 

[chinstrap]

I look at the side, it's terrible, full of midgets, can't tackle, Jerome, Tyrell can't run hard. I can keep on going. He needs to bite the bullet whilst we've got so many injuries. Put on some of our good youngters he played in the trails, move turuva to fullback.

than hes back doing something stupid again next week

That word haunts me.

To be fair he isn't a hooker, he's a half. Lots of potential but so many injuries. It's a worry because him being a utility isn't developing him in his best position. He and Andrews were very good in a well beaten cup team a few weeks back. Not sure what to do with him. He didn't look confident today.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Regardless of our inept performance, that is one of the most one sided refereeing displays I have ever seen

Yup. Another of those where we were never going to get a call go our way.
Ashley Klein in the bunker or on field against the tigers ? You have a better chance of winning the lottery
I’m exhausted seeing us bullied most time.

 

[RonDingo]

Is it just me or is TDM stifling the attack this season much like Gallen used to do, his job should be run hard first and offload when the opportunity arises.
I feel he gets in the way far too often.

Translates to "I must protect my fellow clown with the whistle"

So who are your wingers?
And please reply with something not stoopid and justify it with en example at least.

 

[Flippedy]

Fairly simple - lots of injuries = losses for every team in the comp.

Effort was good but nsw cup players are nsw cup players fof a reason especially when missing 6 or 7 of your best players

Losses yes, but 3 straight annihilations, not so much. Most other depleted teams give it a bit of a crack at least.
