These 50/50s may be payback from last week

Ref sent it up try, yes it touched the corner post, but they are not in play, and ball is not flat, so try
 
Without trying to sound like I'm toeing into MM and Pita, but Liddle has done more in attack in 20 mins of footy than they have all year.
 
Games go for 80mins

I have been assured the Eels are desperate..need to keep the foot on the throat..

Liddle clearly makes a difference…
 
Good work boys, first 10 looked all Eels - they started very strong, good line speed and plenty of muscle in their rucks. We weren’t necessarily doing anything wrong, I think Parra just started very strong. But of course they couldn’t keep that momentum and eventually then they ran out of gas & gave Tigers a sniff. We turned on the attack & pushed the ball through Benji and Brooks who have moth been very good, especially benji with his kicks, passing & change of direction play. Liddle came on & made an instant difference, getting a line break and almost a couple more. Tui has been perfect from the tee this afternoon & barring one missed catch in the first 5 minutes he has been good making a few runs & sprinting into the defensive line.
If we can keep up this intensity in the next 40, we should run this out with a few more tries.

Exactly, was a good call by Badger to pre award the try as it was the right decision IMO.
 
another good defence effort, the opponents did not have a single chance to score :sign:
The best Thompson, Rochow, Marshall, Brooks, Twal, Liddle. Liddle looks likely to break the line with his speed every tiime.
Unbelievable conversions from side lines by Lolohea, is he our 80% +goal kicker?
 
I'm not watching it. It sounds like penalties are gifting us field position? Is this the case or are they playing well?

How was moses what a peanut. Our penalties are the only reason thre getting out of their half

Must be the penalties. Can't possibly be their woeful defence around the ruck that let Liddle run 40 meters….

Parra tried to beat us at our own game, except they gassed themselves out in 15 minutes and can't defend on their own line.

Agree totally

Yep missing the Kevvy try tackle had nuffink to do wiff it.

Sorry the comments reloaded too quickly - my post was in respect to Dog Moses saying they were being beaten thanks to penalties

Liddle is adding a whole new dimension in attack

Defensively though a bit iffy

His defensive technique is excellent. IMO he is one of the better pound for pound tacklers in the game. However, he is a small bloke and bigger bodies are always going to worry him. The middle forwards need to support and prevent him from getting isolated by managing the ruck speed.
