At least we’re back in familiar territory. That top four stuff was freaking me out.

Exactly!!! I feel much more at ease now knowing i dont need to take this team seriously anymore.

I put that one on Cleary.

It's been coming. He's the one insisting on Taylor at 9\. It all starts from there.

MM started at 9\. Taylor went to 9 when MM got injured.

We don't have an 80min no 9.

I did watch the game. It turned once Taylor came on. As it has every time he has gone to 9.

The confidence is down and the rot is setting in.

I felt the game changed when Hodgson came on for the Raiders. He is a superstar

MM injured? I thought he was hooked after that pitiful attempt on Papalli who wasn’t charging at 100mph but turned his back and dawdled over the goal line.

Disgraceful. Maybe he feigned injury just to get off.

I’ll have ET, Reynolds, Godinet and anyone else after that pitiful effort.

If MM got hooked then basically half our team deserved to get hooked for their same pathetic attempts at tackling yesterday

Was terrible today - even in the first half we have looked like taking control of that game. A lot needs to happen until we can become a consistently good football team.

Thats true - we had the chance to finish them off in the first half - we could have quite easily led by 20 points at half time - instead we go in leading by 2 and them with all the momentum - good teams would have put Canberra to the sword in the first half.

If he was hooked for that then Rochow should have gone with him.
 
Rochow missed Papalli. It is astounding that he is in the first grade squad as his missed tackles is extremely high for a forward and his effort and executionfor a player his size is poor

Wasn't Huth garbage yesterday. How many tackles did he miss?

Certainly his worst for us. It may be just the attitude in the team at the moment.
Even saw Thompson miss a few and loose interest. I guess intensity is goid but you don't want to be the only one putting in.
Maybe too having been conditioned to be in every match after the injuries and once the score got to 32 they all just lost heart.
We haven't had much luck lately. Can't get Reynolds on the field sin bins at crucial times playing opponents getting key players back and a few calls.
Losing Mcllirick and especially Rowdy who has been exceptional and then Fanoua down the left side with the attended reshuffle created 3 or 4 tries for them.
Gamble looked good but Brooks misses Benji i feel.
 
That performance is up there with worst this club has ever produced. We are damn lucky The Raiders didn’t put 70 plus on us. If not for some help from the refs they score 3 or 4 more tries.
 
Knew we were in for a bad day as soon as Brooks started to bobble and drops balls early, even John's orgasms over his kicks didn't help
 
Even when we were leading that game well into the first half, the Raiders were pouring up the middle. It was never going to end well. When MM went off injured, it just accelerated what was already inevitable.
That was a shocker and the forwards (Lawrence excepted) need to take a long hard look at themselves.
I have been extremely disappointed in the front rowers the past month.
Very average.
When they were going strong in the early part of the season, the entire team looked pretty good.
But they have fallen away badly.
Need to push the re-set button.

He didn't miss him. He just raced up out of the line passed him. Surprised he was in the side in the first place.

Made 54 including 1 TRY save… missed 4..

Total miss tackle WT 61

That is crap. McIlwrick missed Papali, he was the one marking him. If he had made a decent attempt maybe Rochow would have had enough time to come and help, but he didn't. Don't blame Rochow he was marking the next guy.

Mind you - what hooker in the NRL would have stopped Papali 3-4 metres from the line on his own?
 
Outside the Tigers camp and the tigers supporters, 99% of the NRL world had us penciled in for the spoon based on the players we had at our disposal. Okay we will dodge the spoon, but we are in for a hard ride home, really cant see any more than two wins max.

From now on we have to focus or recruitment on either real class or real young up and comers..no more plodders

.

That close to the ruck and that close to the line you do not mark up one on one. Particularly when you have Josh Papalli running at our hooker. Rochow should have pushed in. On replay it was such an obvious move. Rochow screwed up.
 
I really liked the team set up for last week. Corey at the back and a few minor tweaks.

Im so glad i missed this game in retrospect. (Went riding on my new motor bike)

The Tigers Wheels fell of it seems. (Pun intended)

Im getting the "Tigers Fluked the early Games" from my mates which it seems is irrefutable based on recent results.

We have a decent run to the end of the season.

9th/ 10th is now my best expectation.
