LIVE GAME Live Game Discussion, vs Titans - Rd 1 *Spoilers*

[Tucker]

Bula can’t play before round 10 yeah?

 

[Bigscreentv]

Gold Coast will be real contenders this year. We didn't lose to a pack of bums, that was a red hot performance from a very good team. We'll be back.

I agree, they were good, and a couple of dropped balls cost us.

 

[Bigscreentv]

How did Bula play in reserves?

 

[Demps]

Correct

 

[tigerballs]

Man, I could see what you meant about bula today.

What an athlete! And he's so calm and focussed. I'd play him 5/8, he just knows how to play.

 

[Tom Shines]

Reasons, not excuses.

Nerves is a reason?

 

[tigerballs]

How did Bula play in reserves?

Both he and Toupou killed them. Stars in the making.

 

[Pascoes_barber]

Surely you can do better than that or CAN YOU.
After all you seem to be on this site everyday of your life.
What else goes on in your life ........ANYTHING.......Just curious.

You been on the glass BBQ?

Chill out.

 

[Tucker]

I felt that our style of attack tonight, whilst somewhat more exciting than 2022, was as if we were cutting corners.

Yeah all those grubbers. Just trying to be too cute.
Our strength in this game was running the ball. They struggled to contain us on the edges. Silly kicks, silly passes and too much dropped ball undid our running game all day.

I want Tupou in first grade.
I don’t care who misses out to let him in.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Naden is a tough one...he is our best center by a mile.

But he has been massively error prone his whole career.

Five errors today.

Problem is he will give you those 5 again next week...and most weeks...

It is why other clubs released him.

Problem is he is our best center...so, we are stuck.

Smells like masters

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Loving the attacking footy and all those points we racked up today.

Razzle Dazzle footy

 

[tigerballs]

Correct

I wouldn't play him until next season. He's big enough but don't break him. Tuopou on the other hand, put him in outside AJ and piss TT and Nofo off.

 

[tiger elle]

Very disappointing

 

[Tucker]

What an athlete! And he's so calm and focussed. I'd play him 5/8, he just knows how to play.

Interesting. How is his ballplaying?

 

[upthetigers]

Same losers on here pointing out
losers calling out players and
coaches as always

Lol you funny bastard you structured your sentence like Kaito 🤣

I was in a great seat for the second half to see Douehei taking on the line.....twice! Two tries. The rest of the time you just wonder what's going through his head. Just take on the line and draw a man....it's worked before, why not try it again? It appears to me he's not too fond of the contact.

 

[tigerballs]

Best part of his game. I hope I'm not putting the mock on this kid but he's a natural footballer, draws a man, holds it up....
When the trainer ran onto the field with the drink bottles in the bag thing, he's there handing them to the other players and talking and gesturing.
Blokes 19....

A few changes are required:
- Stains to the right wing, Nofoaluma out
It looks like Maumalo and Talau will be out for some time; in the meantime :
- Kepaoa to the left wing;
- To'a/Feledy to the right centre.

If Blore is out
- Bateman/Matamua -> 11
- Twal out

I suppose after all the disappointment of the game today as least we didn't give up.. Yes, we didn't earn the right to pass it and we made a lot of errors, but we didn't give up like past and get 40+ put on us.
If AD kicks that goal and we are down 6 I think we could have had a good chance to even it.
