Not a bad comeback from those Western Tigers.

Forwards started to aim up a bit. Our backs have seen very little ball, Seve has touched the ball twice. Don't know why we try to barge through a much bigger team when we're getting close to the warriors line. Our backs are skillful.

Funaki has shows some very good passes which is great to see, one try assist and threw the 2nd last pass for the 2nd try. Our only forward who's made some good metres. Players like Woods, Cassel, Gavet, Graham could all add another 7-10 kgs. Still young, but they definitely need more size.

One the other hand Liolevave looks to have added a lot of size since high school. Too much really. He's 6 foot and 115kg. Was a very skillful backrower at Keebra but now he just looks like a prop and nothing more. Havent seen any angled runs, offloads or short passes from his so far this season

Funaki (11) has very good hands for a big man.
Also runs hard - great run about 10 minutes ago straight through their forwards.

Future first grader IMO. Solidly built and hits the line hard. Still eligible for NYC next year I think, but I'd be inclined to throw him into NSW after another offseason under his belt.

Yep, definitely worth developing against older men.

Also - in reference to these moronic nz commentators :

For all those asking, we don’t have control over commentators calling our team the wrong name. You’ll have to ask the @NZWarriors!

Good defence from the Tigers to catch the Warriors with the ball on the last and a great run from Liovave to put us right on the attack.

Cherrington in.

 

[softlaw]

& Cherrington in with a nice little dart from dummy half.
Follows a great run from Cassel(?)
edit - Liolevave with the run was it Willow. ta

18-16 after 45 minutes.

 

[Milky]

That was a really good run by Lamar to get us on the front foot.

Tigers take the lead 18-16

Cherrington has been rocks and diamonds.

Matthew Woods will be quite handy when he fills out more in the next couple of year, he's tall and moves well, just a bit light at the moment.

Great kick into the corner from Moses after points were scored.

I was using VipBox and it is sucking….It keeps starting and pausing.

Are most of our forward pack still eligible for 20s next year? They certainly look a year smaller.

 

[Guest]

Warriors caught on the last tackle again. Our defence is improving.

 

[Guest]

Penalty to the Tigers should put us into the Warriors half.

 

[pHyR3]

fuinaki needs to play some more NSW Cup i feel, i saw him at that dragons game and he looked good but his leg speed was average against the big boppers rather than the skinny backs.

 

[Guest]

Warriors challenging the penalty.

 

[Guest]

Penalty reversed, scrum to the Warriors.

 

[Guest]

Good scramble from the Tigers after the Warriors got their way over the line but were held up.

Great goalline defence!
