**Live game thread** Us vs the Dragons

[TYGA]

We will win by 30\. Halatau is rising to the challenge in this game you have to respect his leadership.
That said the Dragons are an absolute disgrace.

Great half Tiges! Love the battle between Brooksy and Benj. Old bull young bull, Benj throws Brookes out, Brookes steals the ball off Benj. Love it!

 

[Yossarian]

That was classic Benji. Ran sideways, Brooks just waited, Benji throws a miracle ball which is relatively easily intercepted. It's mostly rocks from him today.

Sloppy first half ..Dragons are a rabble , we should lap them in the second half .

 

[Tigerdave]

yeah if we can cut out the mistakes, we'll win by a heap

 

[stevetiger]

Kev is so close to a world-class centre at times.

Attack is brilliant, tackles very well… just reads terribly. Can be fixed though.

I reckon he is a great centre. It's not just him that is the issue defensively. That was Nofo.

Yah the defensive issue is definitely a collective thing. I'm a big fan of Kev's, and surprised/disappointed to hear he's supposedly been told to look elsewhere.

I'm a fan as well. I think anyone who isn't a fan has no idea. Great player.

I just wish we would reduce the low percentage plays…Simona should have taken the tackle a couple of times...

16/22
if we improve that completion rate we go on to win, play smart, play down their end.

 

[larrycorowa]

Brooks looking confident and dominant….coincidence?

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Very good attack, Simona, Naiqama and Tedesco are dangerous whenever they have the ball. Good game by Woods, Aloiai, Lawrence and Seumanufagai.
If we reduce errors we can win this. Go Tigers :sign:

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

Halatua having a blinder. All 3 tries from his crisp service.

 

[Glen_McWilliams]

We are blessed to have Tedesco. Class above and he brings his team mates along for the ride.

 

[Masterton]

Some great hard running from Aloiai.

Rankin woeful.

 

[hobbo]

Brooks looking confident and dominant….coincidence?

He usually has a blinder every 1/5 games .

Dragons are a rabble !

 

[stevetiger]

Halatau has been good. He is a good player. I still think we'd be better with Robbie there.

How good a team do we have though. Our backline is full of weapons excluding Rankin.

 

[jadtiger]

That last 8 minutes was poor football lots of high risk stuff.Hopefully they settle down at ht and dont try to score off every set and Mary dosent target our woeful RH defence.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Some great hard running from Aloiai.

Rankin woeful.

Reserve Grade????…....Nah. Not likely

 

[TYGA]

If only we had a better winger than Rankin and a right edge backrower that could cover for Naiqama/Nofo/Moses. We are not far away roster wise.

FIRE UP TIGERS

"Yah the defensive issue is definitely a collective thing."
(Sorry dont know to quote yet.)
Absolutely its the 3 of them! Moses has been out of position racing out the line as many times as Noufuloma has seen the ball float over his head.

 

[NJLM78]

Teddy and Nofo doing a great job under the high ball so far.
