[hodgo]

This one actually hurts

 

[tw33k]

I missed the first 20 minutes, what happened to Lawrence?

failed HIA

 

[sheer64]

well just a reminder of past times

 

[hodgo]

we played with 16 men all game after Lawrence hia and then with 12 for 20 mins no body wins this to gassed

 

[hobbo]

benji, nofo. gone.

We can only hope !

 

[Spud_Murphy]

The fact is that we just dont have the cattle…cleary had the money and opportunity to give us a some quality players and he failed....this all falls back on to cleary

Is that you JT? :laughing:

 

[4jtigers]

We have not had one good 5th tackle option and that falls on Brooks …. 2017 revisited

Really? Benji is the one taking over mate not Brooks… go watch the game again, geez. The forwards have not laid the foundation either, go figure.

Its supposed to be Luke's team and he has not stepped up today … he should have taken charge of the 5th tackle options.

You haven't got a clue… We've been smashed in the forwards and played 20 minutes with 12.. 66%completions and you want the halfback to step up?

Thank you ink, that saved me from explaining it to him.

 

[Russell]

We never had a chance. Been sent down to 12 men twice now. These refs have caused 3/4 of our losses and never give us a break. The NRL is a joke honestly

I guess that they want us to "Go West"

Don't start that crap again!!!

 

[Harvey]

Fonua was ordinary tonight.

Jeez we need to find some players to up the squad to 30.

Thanks

 

[Coasttiger]

Benji has shown tonight why he is not the half to lead us when needed. Back to Benchi please.

Last week hurt more ….
We were never going to be in it ...

 

[tigerap]

Okay Ivan time to make some serious changes:
Drop - Marshall, Rochow, Godinet, nofoluma
MCK to replace Rochow
Reynolds/Gamble to replace Marshall
MM or Liddle to replace Godinet.
Move Thompson to wing replacing nofo
Promote Lolohea to FB…

Geez, we've had our first really poor game of the season and it's already back to the old ways. The blame game has reignited. All the poor parts of the game can be easily fixed, completion rate, kicking and fifth tackle options.
Let's knuckle down and get ready for yet another short turn around for the Thursday game against the Cows

 

[tigerap]

Sadly the first 4 weeks the Tigers once again gave their fans false hope…..

You may be right but what I saw today (aside from the Refs) was that there appeared to be no plan. Our play on their line was woeful and not one forced play. There was one incident where we were on their line … it was the 5th ... the ball went to Brooks (no kick) then Benji (no kick) then to Marsters who kicked only to give a seventh tackle option. The other thing was that Benji as Captain ignored the bench to take kicks for goal. That was not good. Benji was a disruptor.

Spot on.

All the sookie lah lahs on here are hilarious.

We just got belted by a side that was bang on and we had about 38% possession and the refs were killing us, we had two blokes injured and a 2 man bench…AND we had a player off for 20 mins thanks to the bin.

We should have lost by 50.

The sky is not falling in.

"You want the halfback to step up?" … the answer is yes I do have a clue. When in attack on the try line I expect Brooks to at least get a repeat set. We did not have one today and I put that on Brooks.

IC has plan, it was stated our early form appeared much earlier than even he thought. We’re missing some key personnel and 9 rounds in it is our first really bad game and in reality despite never getting the rub of the green and being down to 12 twice, it only got away close to the end.
Every team puts in a shocker, we can bounce back once we have a full lineup - unfortunately everybody got carried away with the first 5 weeks and expected us to be GF bound, never likely in 2018.
We will build and let’s be honest, this game being the exception, we are in every game this year unlike the last few years.
Time to be a tad more realistic - everyone believed the hype; fans, media and BM especially
