[Guest]

Benji scores off a Farah grubber.

 

[Tigerdave]

wow, that was kinda quick, great little grubber from Robbie and Benji scores

 

[alex]

Benji is kicking a little too much for me - would like to see Miller take a bit more control

 

[Tbone]

Farah's short kicking game has been good tonight as usual.

 

[Guest]

10-6 after 35 minutes.

Roosters lose the ball inside their own half close to halftime.

 

[Tigerdave]

good chance now to get some more points before half time

 

[alex]

Tigers getting some good repeat sets

 

[Tigerdave]

well another goal line drop out, running out of time though

 

[Guest]

Tigers force another line drop out.

Why is benji doing all the kicking still.

Matt bell leave his sense of urgency at home or something? And is it me or does Adam Blair look a lot more active so far?

Is Naiyaravaro on the bench?

Halftime, 10-6 to the chooks.

Tigers have played very disciplined in attack, no silly passes and they've looked very structured. I think they've done well to grind their way back into the match after the Roosters enjoyed the majority of ball in the first 20 minutes with 5 straight penalties.

Could go either way in the second half, but I just hope their are no injuries and the Tigers stick to their structure.

few things i noted from the first half

a lot better kicking game and the chase to follow that up as well.
buchanan getting through a lot of work.
bodene was at fault for the first try was to close to blair in defence which forced marshall to come in on the runner which left the gap.
farah kicking a lot more in general dont remember a miller kick.
eddy runs very hard
great handling only 2 errors all half in these conditions
only used 3 players (fulton, bell and eddy) off the bench so far so playing it like a real match

Not too sure what I think about that first half…......we gave a hell of a lot of field position with silly penalties and errors. Only 4 points down though, so could be worse. Looks like we're still in 2nd gear.

 

[Golden]

clearly only in 2nd gear, Roosters look like a top 8 team this year

main thing is halftime no injuries! and yes Ive said it about Utai for 3 years now, just isn't worth the liability

 

[innsaneink]

I think were doing OK, on top if anything even tho behind on the board…...2 tries to them on the back of 4 consecutive penaltys...we can work on that...look a bit lost at times, too many chiefs sometimes then no one organizing....its OK

Cameron who? Robbie is god.
