LIVE GAME Round 17 versus Knights

[BlackWhiteGold]

Makasini is a liability. His defence will cost us this game. Hope I'm wrong.

Nope

 

[upthetigers]

He looks crippled. Needs to sit out for the rest of the season and recover, maybe. Surely he’s carrying an injury

Gets tackled and always gets up clutching at something

 

[DrewPeacock]

St George will have a win next week.

I'll be very surprised if the TIgers get another win this season tbh

 

[lathami]

Look we worked hard on that game. Some poor ref calls again, makasini break, they delay the play after a huge break. E get six ti go on zero tackle u pelican, that’s a sin bi every day of the week. Has been since 1908, that decision changes the game. Seriously ponga should be playing inter World Cup, how pathetic is his diving at every chance!!
Turuva should if stayed down after that high shot, again poor Carlo from the pelicans!

 

[Yossarian]

Injury curse strikes again. May stays on we probably win. There’s just no depth in that position. We’ll probably see Junior Tupou there soon. I’ve never seen anything like it. Hopefully he gets it sorted now and he’s back next year.

 

[Tucker]

So I'm guessing no one rates Newcastle

How do you think they played?

 

[bigsiro]

I thought he started well… what happened ? You think it was the rain ?

Sorry I thought he was crap. Did nothing except some good touchfinders from penalties.
Good player on his day. But he’s not a halfback. Never has been.

 

[Tom Shines]

Newcastle played awful and still we couldn’t win

There’s no structure in attack at all

It was awful

No one in this team has any pace !

Thank God your man Averillo is coming next year !

 

[Jimmy]

Ugly watch. Thought the Turuva HIA was poor and same with the 6 again on the long range break. Thought they were always sin bins.

Mak has to learn to tackle this offseason and tackle Seyfarth with him. These guys need to use their shoulders.

 

[batboy]

Makasini's lack of speed is alarming. He also came on late so he wouldve been the freshest back. Totally unacceptable.

We have 1 bloke in our entire back line with some pace - can’t beat speed and we won’t beat shit until we consider it.

Along with some decent sized backs!!

No speed in our team , Macca shocked me how slow he was , Newcastle players caught him easy , he was also horrible in defence and has no impact with his runs .
API and Turuva brain snaps cost us .
6 minutes to go and we go up he middle and need a field goal , AD goes and does a bomb , we didn’t look like we new how to get into position for a field goal or kick one , AD should be able to shoot one from 40 mtr out easy , bench was crap , Benji needs to re think how he goes about it as his latest decisions were poor

It was as the rain apparently ..: we know how to find an excuse 😂

 

[Wezt]

We probably have about 3 more wins this season if we have a proper attack coach

If Benji doesn’t at least appoint new assistants he will cop a sack

 

[TYGA]

Good effort ran hard tackled hard. May injury massive. We are undermanned season is over unfortunately

 

[W.Boland_c]

Ridiculous

So Ponga is pathetic for diving, but you state that our bloke should have done this himself….
👍🏼 gotcha…

 

[simonsatiger]

On the upside thats it season over i can concentrate on the punt and the commonwealth games.

 

[oxycon]

Game plan was always to shift to AD in the red zone that’s on Benji considering Romey has the best short kicking game in the comp and AD is average it doe's my head in.Our last tackle options were terrible.

 

[TheEnz]

Looked to me like ponga didnt go for the ball on that last try, he just tackled Bula in the air, didnt we get a player sent off against parra for that.

 

[Mighty Mouse]

Makasini’s 3 clear misses on Dom Young, 2 5th tackle penalties by Geyer & Sione and terrible 5th tackle options in the red zone stand out to me.

Evident Makasini still troubled by his shoulder/AC.

Geyer’s last game in our colours surely.

On the positive, how good was Starford To’a. His jams on Gagai were awesome, almost wss a try assist for Mak.
