**live game thread** us vs the Eels

[Madge]

@ElleryHanley just goes through the motions is the best way to put it. Agree.

 

[boonboon]

@Madge well when the starting prop for the tigers make 17 meters in 40 minutes cant blame anyone but urselves id say

 

[TIGER]

@TIGER Where did he knock it on? He lost control for a brief second and regathered. In not one instance did it make contact with the ground or another player. Not sure how that can be a knock on?

It made contact with the Parra player

 

[TieDye]

@hodgo Hahahaha you are beyond stupid using the feego excuse... it was Takairangi who dropped it two plays earlier and clearly knocked it on that was missed. If I don’t have any idea of footy and vossy says you cannot possibly crucify the touchy for that, then you must be the brains of operation Bunkerfart and greenburg’s Trust in stuffing up all of our big games. I get you’re enraged about how it happened with Manu just one week ago but Robbie shouldn’t have been offloading, yes it wasn’t a knock-on, but as I said he made the wrong decision. Corey also should’ve held the ball

The refs aren’t on our side every week. Stop being a hero and come off the high horse flog

 

[Madge]

@boonboon yep Twal hasn’t been involved at all this game.

 

[AL The Tiger]

@Jay Corey Thompson did knock on. But the Eels didn't score off that knock on. We got possession back and then Farah offloaded the ball which was played at by an Eels player and was incorrectly called a knock on. Eels got the ball from there, Fergo put his foot into touch and then they scored. So no, Thompson's knock on didn't lead to it.

 

[AL The Tiger]

@TIGER Watching the replay it didn't look like it did. Vossy and Walters both said the same, so not too sure mate.

 

[ElleryHanley]

@ElleryHanley just goes through the motions is the best way to put it. Agree.

Can anyone recall ONE moment all season where Mbye has made an extra effort, or led the way?

Even ONE?

Seriously.

@TheDaBoss
Dont worry they will come back but no goal kicker is why we lose

 

[BalmainJnr]

We make a lot of dumb mistakes, don’t kick well from set pieces or when going long from general play and are so passive in defence that we routinely play of the back foot. We basically invite teams to take control. Time to stand tall and aim up!

 

[TheDaBoss]

@TheDaBoss
Dont worry they will come back but no goal kicker is why we lose

Esan steps up in 2nd half and nails every single one of the 10 Tries we score

 

[TieDye]

@TigersBusDriver it hit his own fore arm mate. I suggest you take a closer look... I was absolutely seeing red as well mate

 

[hobbo1]

It all comes back to defence
Our tackles are softer than a hug from nana

Brooks failure to wrap up the Takarangi Try was disgusting

 

[Bula]

Unfortunately 12 points is a 3 try deficit the way Squinty kicks.

 

[Newtown]

@hugh1954 No home ground advanatage is really why we losw. Imagaine what the result would be if this game was played on our Leichhardt Oval. No Thanks ro Wests Tigers management!

 

[TieDye]

@avocadoontoast thank you AVO, some people are fair dinkum unintelligent and then proceed to tell others that they don’t understand FOOTBALL. What a joke mate, just like the players

 

[hobbo1]

Brooks 3 pts

People say his defence has improved lol
What a disaster

Money well spent lol

[TIGER]

Benji has been our best, the rest look like they're going through the motions.

 

[bigsiro]

Wait and see. Our own fans WILL give him points.
They will also laud Eisenhuth.
Go figure.

 

[weststigerman]

@boonboon probably because he was busy making 32 tackles.

Not his fault we keep dropping the ball
