OFFICIAL Luke Garner [Discussion]

[rihannafan1]

He and Musgrove are on report so we may not have to worry about their selection next week.

Well I think we will worry because we need them both on deck next week

Nothing in either tackle
IMO

but it’s us so who knows

Garner's was nothing so I'd be surprised about that. Musgrove will get suspended imo. That big potato loves a good head slap and the NRL have already given him a few suspensions for it.

I’d have to watch the Musgrove one again ... forgot what it was but my faded memory remembers him making a heavy collision

Was it a shoulder charge or high?

High

Garner and Musgrove will be fine to play. Garner played well again yesterday and has made noticeable improvements in his defence.

As much as I like Blore, he's going to have to come back through the grades. He hasn't even played a trial and has zero match fitness. I'd be giving him a month in Knock On Cup to find his feet and get some fitness and then bring him off the bench in FG.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I’ve been critical of him, but he’s been good the last few weeks. Knows how to find the line.

 

[Telltails]

I've been happy with his form one of the few players who can make a dominate tackle. Makes an impact off the bench.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Very effective coming off the bench. If he keeps it up he should start with Offa to lock and Twal in the prop rotation.

 

[earl]

He was poor at the start of the season but then he started defending well and now he is adding some great runs to his game. He is going great.

 

[JC99]

Doueihi and Garner starting to work together a lot better now.

 

[WT2K]

Starting to get consistency in his game. I don't mind him coming off the bench... But not a fan of ofa at edge if I'm being honest.

Both good to play, both got fines not suspension.

Needs consistency before I'm sold... and gave away that late crucial penalty, I wish our guys would cut these dumb individual plays out.

It was a dumb penalty, but if the other players dropped off the tackle he would have won us the game.

I agree mate but the flip side of that which I'm tired of is the individual trying to make the glory match-winning play and it back-firing.
If that trio just concentrate instead on working together and getting that player to the ground in the corner and it's backed up by a good defensive set that can win us the game too.
The individual plays are awesome when they come off but always seem to cost us when they don't.

No one has said too much on Garner at all recently, only when he’s had a few bad games!

50 games only! He’s coming along nicely!

Agree, he had a real good game last night.

 

[Speed2burn]

He was my pick for tigers POTY before a ball was kicked..may not get there but he’s probably our most improved considering where he was at in the first couple rounds

He has such a good defensive technique that he rattles the opposition ball carriers from time to time

If he lines you up front on you're getting put on your ass, love seeing him dump people every week

 

[Snake]

I am one that does not mind wiping egg off my face ..early form warranted a big spray but of late a huge improvement hoping this is the norm moving forward.

 

[Tigerwould]

When Blore was injured in the pre season i was really worried about our 2nd row options. Garner has stepped up big time.
New new rules really suits his game. His defence has been fantastic and he lines he runs in attack are always a threat.
Is he signed up for next year?

 

[Telltails]

Never understood the spray Garner copped on here a few weeks back because imo at the time he was the only forward who was making dominant aggressive tackles. I think his form all year has been pretty good and currently he is almost first forward picked. Great to see him playing well.

 

[Geo]

3 games in a row Garner has defended exceptionally well..keep it up..

Brooks/Garner in attack is also a threat..
