In addition, Skelton and Tupou when hitting the ball up ran generated good pace combined with power. Saukuru hit ups were pedestrian, he looks three yards too slow for the centres.

Saukuru has relied on his 115kg to run over KOE players. Has no sidestep and no real pace. And can't defend.
We have a problen!
Tupou has played centre and I think has more of what Saukuru hasn't. Maybe a look at in the off season?

We can all blame the refs..and other teams do ocassionally get away with same issues sometimes..
.BUT WE NEED TO LEARN THE RULES!!
Api of all ppl knows u dont get away with knocking the ball out of the dummy half's hans...there are other ways to do it
And the decoy rules,whislt at times unfair,are tranparent and consistent.We all undrstand what they are
.So we needed to run in at a tighter angle rather than target the defenders outside shoulder
Its not that difficult
Cld have won that game too,,but it showcased some of the dumb mistakes that have been plagiuing us all season

Sorry mate but you need to learn the rules.
You can’t knock it out of the dummy half’s hand if he’s clearing the ruck… once he’s started to run it’s perfectly legal.

A lot of kids come through looking like stars because they physically may develop earlier or are just naturally stronger so can just run over players and dominate them in the lower grades. Its a curse cause it stops tgem from developing tge rest of their game, tgey rely on running over people. But once they make the step up, they cant just rely on the physicality anymore and thats when all the defficiencies in their game show.

Agree with your points. Just mak has been the prodigy because he had the physical gifts but also showed skill, and talents that stood our,, he has had a baptism of fire but I believe he will have learnt a lot from the experience and be back with a vengeance next year

Yeah some of the calls were poor but more importantly was the very good performance, there is some hope for next year.

That's one game where the performance was more valuable than the result.

Couple of better centres next year should make things better

Other thing i hate is why attacking teams are never penalised when there mates being tackled and they decide to help push him 5 metres up field while the defenders are holding him and the refs calling held.

Bula actually got called for one of these last night, I think the ref called it "a driver". There's a fine line between the permitted action (lending weight to stop your team-mate being driven backwards) and a rugby-style maul.

They should call up 100% of cases of "driver" and send them back to the mark, where the action started. It doesn't need to be a penalty but it will always then disadvantage the attack.

Very common on kickoff returns.
 
I also wanted to say last night, slipped my mind, that we had oodles of ball in the Cowboys territory and didn't convert. It's a long-established problem for us that we need to fix, because despite the reffing we still could have got on top with the mistakes we forced from Cowboys.

Could easily have been 24-10 to Tigers with some better execution and luck of ref calls.

Couple of better centres should make things better, more stike
 
There is a technical issue with the Luai no try.

So technically the call was "mikaele didn't clear the ruck" because if he had cleared the ruck, it's fair game.

But isn't the Bunker not allowed to rule on Ruck infringements?

Yeah well.said chunk....we played pretty well for an hour until we got worn down, you could see the players getting frustrated with the officiating too....we made them ...all 14 of them...work hard for that win

Rules and ‘interpretations’ change anywhere on the field if it’s the tigers
