that's it, half time

well, again we've played fairly well in the first half. Here's hoping we can play a full 80

Why talk to Moses. He is useless. Talk to someone with heart

Strong first half from the bous. Hope fully we can put in an 80mim effort this week and continue on in the second half.

Brooks had a strong half, chee Kam and Nofa looked strong (apart from defensive lapse) and Lawrence tackling everything.

Solid first half. Woods played the entire first 40 and we have Aloiai and Grant both fresh on the bench. Impressed with Nofo, Brooks has been busy but one or two signs of rustiness. Teddy is dangerous around the ruck and Suli's carries have once again been strong.

Again we haven't let the opposition score just before half time. Pretty happy with that.

cleary is just as bad as coach as taylor why take the 2 there ????

Because it was the smart option.

Can anyone explain how that isnt a penalty try

Well considering it was Reynolds who ultimately stopped the try, it was a penalty try.

As was replacing Taylor with Cleary

Penalty try…how was that not one?

 

[TIGER]

We have no problem playing 40 mins. Any chance the NRL will reduce games to 40 and play twice a week?

Because it just doesnt constitute a penalty try, if you want to know what does. Google it dude.

Pretty happy with that first half. Composed, no trick shots. Played the percentages.

Woods looked shattered. I don't think he expected the blowback he has got. Played his usual performance. Soft carries with strong leg drive and slow play the balls. One good offload and one poor one.

Teddy was up and down. Looked less affected by it all. Good catch and pass for the try but a silly mistake from a kick.

Brooks has been very good apart from that mistake and a couple of kicks with too much sauce. Good to seem him back as our primary kicker. His low, driving kicks are great and always have been. I have never understood why Moses has taken over kicking in the last 2 years.

Am happy with an 80 minute game; but only points, televised and people watching at the ground can only be for the first 20.

All got cheered off at HT..

Woods out there for the full 40\. Work him till he drops Cleary.

to go 2 to 4 points is a smart option??????
our defense isnt good enough to hold onto a 4 point lead

As they should have. It's been an Ok 40\. The guys are professional and should be playing accordingly.

 

[Trisdar]

They are going well. Now for next 40
