LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

[Wezt]

May's lateral movement gets exposed by the better packs

 

[Tim Sheens]

you spoke too soon

Skelton should have nailed that tackle to stop the try too. Terrible effort.

 

[Hazard_10]

Geyer sucks

 

[Tucker]

I noticed penrirth havent had any 17 tackle sets.. im sure thats helped.

2 set restarts. In the whole first half. Exaggeration is fun.

I think given our depth we have over achieved this year to this point . In all honesty I think Luai leaving is a godsend as even without the PNG news he hasn’t been the saviour or mentor the team needed. Although all I can see is we are one step forward and two steps back.

Should someone be held accountable for the poor depth ?

FOR FFS give Latu are go at half, Madden gives us nothing

Madden is pathetic, we get a free kick he makes 5 meters and hid long kicks are pathetic as well , for god sake benji put Latu in at 1/2 back
Benji u have had two weeks to but this side together and they also are pathetic, for gid sake fine players who can tackle

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

terrible defence

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Jock madden got to go

What? Some were calling him to be Luai’s replacement.

I'm out, first time I've left a game early in 40 years and we have had some terrible losses over that period.......

Im arguing the influence that first 20 minutes has now had on the rest of the game. That wasnt our fault. That is rigged. It happened against the storm too. It happened last week with the one way set restarts that the dogs copped. Its not the first time this is happening to the wests tigers.

I am somewhat making exceptions for the team because no team is not conceding 24 points from penrith with 20% of the ball in the first 20 minutes.

So i bring it back to why penrith had 6 restarts and penalties in that first 20 (all on 3rd and 4th tackles) and the tigers had just one.

Why is it that the nrl in general is having LOTS of games like this.?

Its a directive from the referees bosses as to how they adjudicate the game... but it isnt consistent.. it changes each week depending on who is playing. Because its a directive from the referees bosses.

I love the game of rugby league.. but what we have seen this is year veering too far from the grest game we know..

Thanks to the refs for starting to give us to start evening up the penalty stats now we are down by 36 - doesnt look as bad come review time that way.. but the damage has been done.

Any chance the ref gave them the 2 set restarts in the opening 20 minutes because our players committed a ruck infringement?

I do however agree the rules of the game itself has gone to far one way with possession influencing games to much.

 

[Tucker]

Have you noticed how good our halves are and the opportunities they are producing 😂, in all fairness i would like someone to out one on the chin of the chin

Yes I’ve noticed.
I’d love to have neither in first grade.

The NRL wanted to intro the kick off to team who scores for a reason. St George won 11 premierships in a row from dominating unlimited posession - hence why the 4 tackle set was introduced.

Ive got broncos fans messaging me about api in ghe first half catching markers offside and being obstructed but nothing being blown... mates who love watching me suffer as a tigers fan.

They haven’t given KPP the turnover when he knocked the ball free from Yeo, these pricks are useless, didn’t give brown 1 last week aswell..

Consistent stuff here

Probably your friends trying to make you feel better…. Looks like the consensus on X is a bit more pointing blame at the players

 

[Hazard_10]

They'll get 70 minimum

 

[Wezt]

Jenkins is schooling Tavana

 

[weststigers]

Have you noticed so far this half we have completed at 100% and guess what? Penrith aren’t scoring and we are competing.
Funny that eh?

Meanwhile...Penrith cross 50

 

[Tucker]

Any chance the ref gave them the 2 set restarts in the opening 20 minutes because our players committed a ruck infringement?

I can remember one of them…May lay all over the man he tackled for far, far too long on the 4 th tackle on our line.

 

[krissy]

Ok can someone just take the white jersey off and wave it and put us all out of our misery?

At 48 zip, this is when you dig deep.
