Golden point has to go, it becomes a farce how the refs pocket the whistle and teams just lie offside for 10 mins. It's scrappy, ugly football.

You don't normally get two shots at winning a game, Brooks had all the time in the world with an open set of uprights 73rd min, that was our moment and we didn't take it. My biased memory tells me Tigers are one of the worst teams at grabbing the vital chance.

Also gotta say Farah really mucked up the last few sets, once we got within a few to go, despite the Graham (or Tolman) offside, he should have just got rid of it for a kick, not fooled around trying to milk the penalty. He milks so hard now, refs just ignore him. He went the wrong way two other sets, we were having hit-ups out wide on tackle 4, how is a bloke supposed to take a decent shot if we don't cart it up the middle?

I reckon we left the fg too late in the set that Taupau knocks on

It looked perfect after Ava's hit up and we got too close to the tryline after Taupau's hit up

God, that knock on from Keith was bad. Just when you need some veteran leadership, he drops it cold.

I thought he was good until it was crunch time. He did lose it then though.

Farah has an excellent track records of screwing up when the pressure is on

It was terrible. Taupau had a poor carry at the wrong time again as well.

Seriously for such a young side. I'm seeing huge positives in our future. We're holding strong with the good sides and I actually think we helped Parra win tonight from the effort last week. Disappointing result, but good signs for the future.

Also great to see the spine starting to click in attack. Our defence has also been a massive difference this year. Closing out games needs work though, but that's a work in progress.

Two negatives I have is the refs failure to consistently fail to blow a penalty (especially in golden point) when the game is on the line. They look scared to call the game if it's on the line. Moses being taken out comes to mind here.

The other was the Tigers fans tonight…ridiculously quiet. All I could here was Bulldogs over and over. I know they're nutbags but a few people pointed it out.

Tigers fans could take some lessons from the burrow, and dogs fans and make a bit more noise to bring the boys home.

Our fans were very quiet tonight… Didn't hear the Tigers chant at all.... Dogs fans were definitely louder than us

Have to agree with such a young inexperienced team Farah needs to take control,trying to milk penalties and poorly I might add doesn't cut it and taking poor options in general when the heat is on.
It's a game we should win 99% of the time being up by 18 with 20 or so to go but the kids will learn from that hopefully.

Agree with this. Golden point is an absolute farce. Its not exciting its horrible, boring, predictable football. I'd prefer a draw.

We panicked and were lost on a few occasions when setting up for shot. Farah looked like he was still looking around for Patty 😛

I don't say this as a Tigers fan because they are terrible at golden point, but I could never understand what was wrong with games finishing in a draw and taking one point each.

 

[Knuckles]

Geez it hurts when we lose like that … You'd think a bloke would get used to it but no, not the case. Anyway, just have to saddle up again next week and hope the boys can get over the line. All part of being a Wests Tigers supporter I spose :unamused:

Most of you on here should piss off back into fairweather territory.

Fairweather GFed, Pies supporter since '74 FFS. Nobody and I mean nobody gets done after leading by 18.

2009 Newcastle led WESTS Tigers 24 - 6 16mins to go …Final result Wests Tigers 26 Knights 24

Well there was nothing wrong with it for 90 odd years, but some genius decided to fix what wasn't broken and change it just to p–- everybody off, clubs and supporters alike!

Yep there's been so many big come backs now in the modern game

 

[innsaneink]

Nothing wrong with a draw.

There used to be usually one team lucky, and relieved to be grabbing one point….while the other would often be rueing the fact they didnt grab both
