LIVE GAME Round 13 v Bulldogs

[TigerSkins05]

How does Tupouniua stay on the field for his shoulder charge that puts Makasini in the HIA for 15mins .. ?? and we didn’t even get a penalty for it .. the NRL is ..and no 6 again the whole game for us is ..7 restarts for the Dogs .. absolute bulldust .. !!

Some of that goal.line defense right at the end was immense

Should be mate,
after giving up a very decent lead to those blokes.
Take the win, less heartache would be apprecited.
Something they can build on at least.

It wpuld help if the game would protect hom from illegal play. It seems hitting Heamasi Makasini high is perfectly legal for all teams to do over and over again.

He is 100% getting targeted and game has given him zero protection like they are meant to.

Dogs have been put to sleep for the year I think

Hey Gus say goodbye to 2026 ya flog

Hasn't got a deal for 2027
Not sure we will be offering one.

I think he's a hitter
Watched him closely @ the dogs... a lot of dumb stuff.

Only played 8 games in a few years over there yeah?
If we offered a deal, I doubt he’d take it…
Will go somewhere for a buck, if he can’t make a fist of hit here and be higher up the picking list - he isn’t doing it anywhere else of note

Yep TS05, it’s a deadset joke!! V’Landys is only worried about income/ tv rights, players come last;

The pressure on Ciraldo and Gould must be intense. I can't wait for the fallout.

 

[Tim Sheens]

I noticed in the game tonight our players never stayed down if hit dirty.

Makasini needs to be instructed to stay down when he is targeted, else HIAs will eventually take him out of the game. Plus, Benji needs to call it out in the presser tonight to protect him.

 

[stephen]

Benji doesn't seem to be a fan either.

Remember when he put the hit on Strange and got knocked out?

There's a player in there.
Just isn't perfect.

Shame about the dropped ball at the end & he's got a brain fade in him, but he knows how to finish and takes so many hard carries.

 

[Betterdays22]

Ill be tuning into both pressers tonight...

Torally agree...we need to ditch that brain fart memtality we saw creep in when we get a bit of a lead

 

[barnsta]

I watched almost every game every week and the stuff we don't get penalties for is about 90% penalised in other games.
There is so much BS reffing when the Tigers play

 

[TheGreenWookie]

Solid performance against 14. Not one 6 again is insane.

The boys should be proud of the effort. We've definitely got our fight back. It's crazy how important Api is for our momentum.

3 Twal
2 Madden
1 Luai

We never make winning easy.

Yep - we just increase cardiologist bank accounts.. ;-)

On both sides of the ball, all over the park Api is critical

 

[Tucker]

Thank god the boys blocked out the tough calls and held on. That shows great resilience, mental toughness and desire. Proud of them.

Also….thank Jesus, Mary and Joseph that they did do that as the sooking on here may have broken the internet if we lost.

To'a came up with a career best/first tackle tonight to keep them out. He didn't do much else. But didn't do alot wrong like the other week either. Maka hopefully isn't out long.

Seyfarth was poor tonight. Not only the bad missed tackles like on Kiraz try but he nearly cost us the game giving the needless 6 again away on tackle 4 after Luai had made that great legs tackle.

Everyone else had a decent dig tonight. Skelton needs to stop the bad offloads though

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

toa played well defensively when he was on

 

[ezybro]

Just goes to show how important Api is to this team, Bula a big difference as well but night and day when Api isn’t on the field. Bit disappointed with Latu’s effort at times tonight although I can consider he is playing a tough position his fitness is questionable which hurts to say as I’m a big fan of his.
