**live game feed** vs the Raiders

[hodgo]

Ok boys got the scrap over and done with.

Ref gave us nothing all game. Raiders will be premiership contenders this year, cold and wet round 1 game.

AD in to 6, Mybe 14. Talau to wing.

Execution destroyed us, so many bad passes that didn't hit their man. If they all stuck it would have been a different game. Reset and we will still be competitive this year.

agree but garner has to go and joey needs to know hes on his last legs

Same ?
Different year

Disappointed that I thought we were a much better team this year. We’re not. Somethings wrong.

Nah , we just lost key moments , like that 5 min period just after half time . I know it’s disappointing, but I think we are definitely better . We lack penetration on the right . AD is lay down mesere to start at 6. I can’t believe anyone was questioning that .

I thought we looked completely disorganised. Our forwards were pretty good but Brooks was awful and Liddles service wasn’t good enough. Bring AD back and give Simpkin a run and we’ll look a bit better.

Garner and BJ are useless.

The crisp fast service that Harry apparently couldn’t supply last year would be fixed by Liddle. Bollocks I call

The crisp service Harry couldn’t supply last year was apparently going to be fixed by Liddle. What a crock, Liddle’s service was crap, Brooks was useless, bring in Simpkin, get some good service to our halves. I would not be adverse to dropping Brooks as well

You are the light of hope.

Could be abit off but from nrl.com

Luke Brooks
16 runs

I liked Joffa. Looked determined.

Yeah, took care of Papalii, who was very quiet after a big hit from Joffa.

 

[carltonleach]

We got too excited about our win against manlys reserve grade side gunna be a long year I see Brooksy form hasn’t improved from last year the guy is an imposter I’d give Laurie a go at half

What about trying Brooks and Laurie as halves? Doehi to the centre replacing JMJ who replaces Kepoa on the wing? Need a competent fullback very quickly. All he needs to do is catch the ball and run it back.

I thought laurie did well today was pretty safe in the back and was trying to be involved in everything?

 

[Cairnstigers]

I hope madge smashes them this week
We won't win against the Roosters anyway

Drop Garner and Liddle
Douehi to partner Brooks in the halves
Simpkin 9
Mbye to 14
Stefano or Simpkins15
Musgrove 16
Mikaele 17

Packer did nothing
Bloody nothing

Go hard for Smith from Melbourne
At least he will give everything
Liddle can go to Bulldogs next year
I know it could be a confidence thing but he really should have showed more today
Simpkin is harder to defend against as he is more unpredictable

 

[Snake]

The team sheet on Tuesday will reflect if there has been a culture change at the club .
There needs to be accountability early as there were a few that need the punt .

I'd be surprised if there's many changes. I know there has to be accountability but you can't be too harsh after one game against premiership favourites. Definitely need a flogging at training for the stupid errors

Flogging at training does not cure stupidity ,there's a few that need to be dropped and if there not the rot sets in !

 

[tigger19]

Don't know where to start,same refereeing giving all the penalties and set restarts to Canberra until the Tigers are too far behind to catch up.Brooks ordinary,Mbye not much better,Liddle well he tried but I'm having my doubts now whether he will ever go from standard to a decent dummy half. Joey better in attack but still the dumb mistakes, Jtj good but stop trying to pass and just run,Noff and AJ a little quiet.Luciano our best,Garner has to go,the worst on the field and is an embarrassment. Tamou,Ofengauhe,Mikaele good. Will get beat easily again next week, and no doubt roosters will get most of the calls from the referee, hard to be a tigers fan and I feel sorry for madge

 

[hodgo]

y did papali get sent at the end i missed it

 

[Telltails]

Liddle can't play 80.

 

[hodgo]

also i thought mbye did great defensively against whighton

 

[gallagher]

Does Laurie retain his spot or mbye the full back?

That a serious question?

James try wasn’t pretty

Allowing our fullback to be isolated wasnt pretty. Mbye wouldn't t have done better. Laurie won't be dropped for anyone let one Mbye.

I have never come across anyone who has blinkers on more than you.it’s ok to be positive and optimistic but I think you are blind to the reality as far as this team is concerned. It’s just ground hog day

Mybe is unfairly criticised he was the least of our problems todaym

Yep . I agree . Brooks looked erratic , and anxious , and the team played off that . Liddle looked like he’d been told “perform or out” , which is fine , but he didn’t elevate to the level required .
I will say , that the rushing defence put a lot of pressure on the ball players . The referee allowed it to happen . Even DL had zero room to move . Sutton always referees one team . We literally had to challenge his crap call , and the bunker to override him , to get anything like the rub of the green. Not ref bashing , our errors put us in those positions , but it doesn’t help .

Garner is a ball stopper . So many times the ball needed to hit the edges , and it died with him . I’m fine with guys getting a reprieve next week , but if one guy has to go , it’s him .

 

[mike]

Liddle can't play 80.

Yes he can. He’ll be better for the run as well.

 

[JC99]

I thought our middle forwards competed well for most of the game. Defensive issues mostly came on the edges and discipline let us down a lot.

Second chances are important too. Dropping players after one game, especially round 1 leads to unrest. Man management is important in the modern game
