First Grade Live Game Thread vs Cowboys *Contains Spoilers*

[Tbone]

Hitup - When your boss asks you why you arent at work on Monday, tell him a bloke called Tbone on the WTs forum said I could have a spell, for illness sustained in the act of showing courage and loyalty.

Keep Blair at prop, at least he was there tonight.

disagree, he should go to lock. was a scratch better than his first few weeks this season. Problem is anasta is also brilliant at lock… dunno how he would go at 11 or 12....

We've just got so many good props in sue, buchanan, woods, groat and ava that i dont wanna add blair to them too cause it limits our prop depth.

Anasta to me is a straight out no go anywhere in the pack. He's like a less hard working version of Fulton or conversely an older, slower, and less powerful version of Siro. I can live with him at 7 with a straight swap for Siro. Having said that, Siro was far better than Marshal in the halves again tonight.

@ tbone.

I thought the same thing. Anyone that made the game tonight are the lifeblood of the team. I just hope the boys walked the whole field as a big up to the fans. I thought I'd done some wet games in Melbourne but that rain seemed like solid sheets and there were still bodies on the hill. Good on ya!

Blair has to stay at prop. He can't shirk his duties in that position.

If Blair didn't try to throw a couple of hail mary's it would have been his best game for us. He has to stay at prop. His front on defence made a difference in the middle.

I've done a 360, keep blair at prop. Just realised that sue has decent experience in the back row and we need that grunt in the back row which we've been lacking. So, Woods, Blair, Groat, Ava and Buchanan. 5 prop rotation isn't too bad especially with the injuries we're bound to have.

Didnt tip them but had them in a multi. Tigers 1-12 into bulldogs 1-12.

the fact he wasnt the only one who continued to force the pass, I'd say this was apart of the game plan.

He played better tight!

Lol will do mate. 4 point game with the bye next week :smiley:

Anasta and Marshall are both superfluous to requirements.

 

[tigersrule4life]

Woooooo finally a win now time to realx with a bye and Robbie Farah gets ready for nsw.

 

[Meevinman]

Watching the delayed telecast, all these mistakes being made have indicated to me that we are (were) going to lose, gonna be interesting to see the 50 minutes of gameplay cause so far it does not seem like a team that could pull off a win.

 

[old_man_tiger]

For those wondering the players did come around and thank the fans, was a really special atmosphere, and as I said in another thread, these small intense crowds are amazing.

 

[happy_tiger]

Just rewatched Sims second try Thought I saw it first time and am absolutely sure now

Its actually a no try

Watch again ,when he's juggling the ball over the line it touches Nofoaluma boot

Knock on , no try Can someone else confirm what i saw please

 

[Black_n_White]

Saw the same…. Im also not so sure about the grounding as well.

Who cares, we got our fair share of love as well.

 

[Stripes96]

Proud of the boys tonight. Especially Teddy. The kid got smashed so many times, but he got up and did his job. He's a keeper for sure. Same with Nofo. Looked the goods in attack tonight.

I can go to bed happy now

Disagree, Anasta was great tonight. And was good at half - Just shouldn't play 2nd row.

 

[mike]

Holy crap, we won…

The comment of the thread. Summed up the game beautifully.

Thanks to everyone who was posting the updates!

It was probably better than listening on the radio and had me on the edge of my seat, the other game was waaaay in the background.
