THIS game reminded me of the 2010 final against the roosters, how it ended and the drop ball in the dying minutes also the same player actually Hargreaves. Devastating

Gee the refs were keen to penalise ya in the second half. The inconsistency in their decisions cost us the game. Penalise us for being offside to take them out 8 and then no penalty for the same offence…...

No _we_ cost us the game, pure and simple. This team had ample opportunity to win it, but they are mistake-riddled and amateurish in attack. We won the penalty count 10-9 by the way.

Yep.
This is why in not fuming at the refs, yeah we had a couple of dubious calls late in the game, but we had plenty of chances in the first 40 we just failed to capitalise on

refs again decided the game, no penalty for for WT, and nonexsisting penalty for them to get 14 points lead :bash
We are lucky that we don't have some of are fans from this forum in the team, they would gave up billion times in this game , even at the half time :crazy
WT again played to the last minute, and that is what we want - to be competitive every game.
We greatly missed Noofoaluma, as we don't have anyone who can run his 150 m + per game.
We desperately need some go forward from our forwards, our starting props and 2nd rowers are MIA
Too many passengers in attack: Matulino, Packer, Chee-Kam, Aloiai, Marshall, Lolohea, Marsters, Taylor :deadhorse:
Our best: Brooks, Thompson, Raynolds, Lawrence, Twal, Eisenhuth, Grant.
**<big>We will need Halatau to replace Nofoaluma</big>** as we need another strong running wing.
Go Tigers :sign:

Are you serious!!!!!

 

[Russell]

.. cannot lose a game with Lolohea, oh wait :brick:

Keep pushing the agenda.

 

[Russell]

A penalty is awarded for the first offence.

Markers not square - first offence

Ferguson knocking on - second offence

Correct ruling.

We didn't deserve to win but probably should have. We certainly deserved a penalty in the final couple of minutes but we also should have scored a try. We also had Thompson tackled out and Eiso over the line. We had our chances.

That eiso near try was crazy. All he had to do was get down low but he stood upright and blew it.

7-2 up on penalties, the second half even-up will be a worry

Good premonition.

At the end off the day …we dont have the killer punch in these close games....our halves are basically clueless we dont have a hooker lolohea is our worst buy since darren clark....we had them on the ropes in the last 2 minutes but we were like headless chooks

Roosters Rd 1, 2 x Melbourne games, Dogs game. When we win we normally win small and late. When we lose, we normally lose small and late. That's 2018 Wests Tigers.

The guy is almost 6'5" and was tackled pretty much straight away, how quickly do you expect him to "get down low"?
