I have a feeling that Benji used an emotional rev up last week. Probably leaned on things like "no one rates you lot, everyone thinks we're going to lose by 80. Do you just accept we're that sorry of a bunch?" That stuff only works like a hit of caffeine, you can only go up once. Will be...
Api is honestly such an inspiration. No matter how bad his team has played, how hard things have gotten, how many others have left, he has stood here strong both on and off the field. He has played very few bad games for us. He has never once dogged it on the field or taken a week off.
I hope...
So basically he's just Luke Brooks v2. A good role player who is overpaid, and thus to justify his pay cheque we try to make him do more than he is capable of. Brooks was looking pretty good for Manly until he did his ACL. I imagine Luai will do just fine at Parra so long as Moses is controlling...
Is he really tanking? Albeit I only saw parts of the game last night, but I saw him make some good defensive reads, and he set up the Samuela offload to Bula. Ok maybe his head is not completely in the game but he's not awful.
Please no complainers that was an amazing win full of grit and determination. Holding one of the best attacks out for 3 sets in a row is un Tigers like.
How good is it to relive our glory days of 2 years ago where the hope is not that we win, but that we don't lose but too much. If we concede less than 40 that's a moral victory for us.
Because we are already losing this game by 50. Put those rookies in there, we lose by 80 and then those guys will have 0 confidence in themselves going forward.
They both deserve recognition. Pole has really turned it up lately when his team mates look like they can't be arsed.
Rugby league has been around for well over 100 years, yet no matter how complicated coaches make the game, the simple game plan of "run hard, tackle hard" never goes out of style.
Doueihi did that a couple of times. We had the numbers on the left, Luai was looking for him out the back and he was MIA. Reminds me of when Mitchell Moses had "mental health issues" in the weeks before his release.
