We are not a finals football team. Its a waste to make the 8.

:roll

You think we will last first week of finals?
Not a chance. We're scraping by at best right now.

Couple of observations,
Packer has done nothing since his knee injury
Matulino has done nothing
Tui is scared of contact at the line
Nofo should play the world game, he has no idea of NRL
They should clone Fonua’s heart and inject the other players, he makes the odd mistake, but only because he is up there trying his butt off
Thompson is the best fullback at the club
ET is not a dummy half

An accurate assertion of what's going on out there…. :sign:

The refs were horrid Perenara is an absolute muppet hate it when he does our games.

 

[Snake]

There is definitely improvement but realistically if they stumble into the finals and I say that with not that much confidence they will be making up the numbers ..just do not have the cattle plain and simple

 

[earl]

Mahe man of the Match … he is a beast

Brooks got it.

So he should have. Stellar in defence and never stopped trying in attack. The team let him down tonight, especially the forwards.

How good was he. He is playing great this season.

Packer had a great game, especially in defence. His effort to make the tackle was noticeable. Brooks saved Fonua on a number of occasions when he was beaton one on one, especially once near the try line.

Unfortunately Ink, you are right, we have a stack of areas to work on, our attack is still bottom 3 or so, our ball control is terrible, we give away a stack of penalties, we won today, but we need to make changes.

x2 that .. he goes out of his way looking to penalise us .. but doesn't against opposition .. has a sTigers supporter or player run over his cat or kicked his dog .. crikey he's shocker .. !!!

They nearly beat Cronulla last week and how good were Cronulla today. This years comp seems to be a week to week basis.

Had we not been robbed against the Broncos and not fluffed the Knights and Parra games we'd be on top of the table

And if we lost against Melbourne twice and Easts we'd be on 8 comp points and six points outside the 8…

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Happy with the 2 points nearly had a heart attack.

Taylor didn't look happy coming off for Reynolds. I hope the team harmony is strong.

Don't think its means anything apart from he's a competitor and want to be on the field

I hope so Reynolds is one of the blokes that would do anything for a team mate.

He’s one step better than Mother Theresa

Well if we scrape in, andget creamed first game , then we might at least get to watch 80 minutes of semifinal football with us in it, which will be a rarity for most of us.
You never know , the opposition may forfeit
