Luke Garner

[Russell]

I think he’s been strong in defence! Every now and then he bends someone in defence, just needs to do it more. I also agree he’s not the type to do dirty hit ups out of trouble. But I think we can use him more in attacking. Use him like a kikau is close to the line! He can break a tackle. Hopefully this comes the more our combinations play together, I feel like we don’t use our edges as well either.

Comparing Garner and Kikau ?

We can compare Garner to Kikau now after last night. I know who I'm preferring.

One hot day don’t make a summer. Panthers won 27 in a row, we’ve won 2.

27 in a row? There wasn’t a GF in amongst them?

Lol it’s unfair to count finals games when comparing with WT

It may be unfair but none the less true. They haven’t won 27 games in a row. They failed miserably in the one game that counted the most.

Maybe true but let’s be real, they’re a lot closer than us at getting back to that dance. I know this is a Tigers forum and I’m a Tigers diehard but some commentary on here after scraping home against their B’s is a tad embarrassing.

Notice you keep trying to downgrade our win in a number of ways.

They had a B grade team, they had 7-8 missing, Kikau had an off night etc.etc.

* As far as I am concerned you can only play what is in front of you.

*They didn't have any players missing - they had 17 players, didn't they?

*They also had the biased Referee pulling penalties and 6 agains from everywhere to give them a leg up.

They were not good enough - that is the result.

As for Kikau - world class my backside. He is just a bludger with a sheeps haircut Lol. Stands out the side and gets a cold, hardly ever takes the hard hitups but is very big at running at the smallest players in the other team and not much else. Plus he likes a bit of the dirt - his effort on Klokstad was an example (got away with it) and how many weeks is Klokstad going to be out? - rest of the season after surgery.

Meh, 9 of the 17 players that trotted out for Penrith on Friday night are still regulars in a team that were undefeated until that game, they were used to winning and we stopped them dead in their tracks

The wonder boy Burton was average and I was a bit surprised, Kikau and Leinu were quiet, chrichton who wouldn’t look out of place in the origin team .... we didn’t give him any space and frustrated him all game.
The only Penrith players who made me nervous were JFH and Edwards really.



On our game I thought we still could have played a lot better actually, still so many silly errors but the best thing was we actually defended them

Yes. But half an origin team did not play. Think about that for a while.

For where we are at it’s a brilliant result. Think about that for awhile

A brilliant result for us will be beating someone other than a depleted Knights, Dragons, or Penrith B’s.

Have you ever got anything good to say about us?

fantastic post!!! the guy is a grub and a bludger. Makes a career out of running at halfbacks and cheap shots

Nice colours?

In all seriousness, yes I do, a few players and the coach I really like. But more often than not, they just leave me disappointed as a fan. A win this weekend against Parra would probably be worth a compliment.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I really enjoy Garner's style in the second row. It's great to have a genuine running second row forward who can hit a gap hard. His combination with Brooks should never have been broken up. Let's hope we re-sign himas I'm sure he will be in demand.

a brilliant result is two points against anyone

For a mediocre organisation

Well if you get more doom and gloom supporting them than not I'm sure there could be much better ways to pass your time.....

100% watching us beat a top side with all there players would be a good start

so would winning a grand final, but we are where we are and finding negatives with a positive result for mine seems pointless. just my opinion

Fair enough. I just don’t see how we can take that much out of a win against a side missing two origin halves, an origin winger and three origin forwards. It’s like putting 50 on manly in a trial without DCE and the Turbos. It’s a false dawn. Just being the guy who calls what he sees.

Mate we don't have a side that is going to play finals footy this year, in years like that there becomes a point where you have to take enjoyment from the wins you do get. Nothing wrong with doing that.

After 10 years in a row mate it becomes old, like jam sandwiches

Well the alternative is to let it get you down and become completely negative. Am I happy we are going to miss the finals again? no, but can I see signs of positivity for the future? yes. Will I let another poor year make me completely negative? no because what is the point in that.

I will take enjoyment from the positives the current team gives us and beating Penrith regardless of the circumstances is something I will enjoy rather than looking for the negatives and be as down and negative as I would be if we lost the game.

If you read some of my other posts like the ones on the sheens thread and the signing of Gildart, you’d see I’m not being completely negative. I love what Doueihi and Twal and Laurie are doing. I’m happy with Brooks form. I’ll give praise where it’s due, just not rating that win verse Penrith B’s.

And that is fine but you have been giving people a bit of a hard time for enjoying a win. We aren't a good team and the Penrith team was still much better than us on paper so there is nothing wrong with enjoying it.

Disagree
We’re a good team and on paper we had a better team than Pamfers on Friday nite

Hardly scraped home, I thought Ivan looked good scraping his pride off the floor before needing safe passage out !

It was 12-6 with 17 mins to go and they were attacking our line and Kikau dropped the ball. Nothing to write home about.

Maybe so, though our WT were getting caned in the ruck comparatively and sure, we also gave them some easy ball, but were defending their butts off on the back of Penrith starting the second half with some two thirds of possession. Then with even ball, our forwards run by Liddle and the play controlled by Brooks regained the ascendency.

Most importantly though, as it's a Garner thread I must point out that you are absolutely wrong with your Kikau mention above. Not only wrong about any dropped ball, as Luke had to moved right centre when Mbye went off and it was stolen by him about 10 metres from the line.

Also on Garner, had Doueihi not tapped it back for Lucy to score his try soon after, instead the ball would have dropped into Luke’s bread basket for him to pass Kikau in the air on his way to the try line. It was a great leap.

Disagree 100%..this squad could make finals this year..if they don't ..it's on them...

After the disappointment of the Warriors game, I reduced my expectations for this year. The last 2 games are a good start to getting me back to believing in the finals but the Warriors game hurt me.

We've beaten 3 teams, knights twice who are average, dragons twice who are average and a depleted Penrith. We've been playing good lately but the real test is beating a few of the higher up teams.

Eels next week should be a cracker game but finals will still be difficult however with how average the comp is this year it's definitely
Possibly if we give it a real go

Not sure if this is the Luke Garner thread,
But on this conversation, I wanted to add:

Our 5 wins have been against top 4 teams (at the time of playing) , plus we technically drew with south's.

Imagine if we had of wom our games against the bottom 8 teams, particularly Gold Coast .

After rather next few tough games we have the bye then have some winnable games with 2 games against bulldogs, 1 game against broncos, sharks, warriors and cowboys.

It may be unfair but none the less true. They haven’t won 27 games in a row. They failed miserably in the one game that counted the most.

Maybe true but let’s be real, they’re a lot closer than us at getting back to that dance. I know this is a Tigers forum and I’m a Tigers diehard but some commentary on here after scraping home against their B’s is a tad embarrassing.

Meh, 9 of the 17 players that trotted out for Penrith on Friday night are still regulars in a team that were undefeated until that game, they were used to winning and we stopped them dead in their tracks

The wonder boy Burton was average and I was a bit surprised, Kikau and Leinu were quiet, chrichton who wouldn’t look out of place in the origin team .... we didn’t give him any space and frustrated him all game.
The only Penrith players who made me nervous were JFH and Edwards really.



On our game I thought we still could have played a lot better actually, still so many silly errors but the best thing was we actually defended them

Yes. But half an origin team did not play. Think about that for a while.

For where we are at it’s a brilliant result. Think about that for awhile

A brilliant result for us will be beating someone other than a depleted Knights, Dragons, or Penrith B’s.

a brilliant result is two points against anyone

For a mediocre organisation

Well if you get more doom and gloom supporting them than not I'm sure there could be much better ways to pass your time.....

100% watching us beat a top side with all there players would be a good start

so would winning a grand final, but we are where we are and finding negatives with a positive result for mine seems pointless. just my opinion

Fair enough. I just don’t see how we can take that much out of a win against a side missing two origin halves, an origin winger and three origin forwards. It’s like putting 50 on manly in a trial without DCE and the Turbos. It’s a false dawn. Just being the guy who calls what he sees.

Mate we don't have a side that is going to play finals footy this year, in years like that there becomes a point where you have to take enjoyment from the wins you do get. Nothing wrong with doing that.

After 10 years in a row mate it becomes old, like jam sandwiches

Well the alternative is to let it get you down and become completely negative. Am I happy we are going to miss the finals again? no, but can I see signs of positivity for the future? yes. Will I let another poor year make me completely negative? no because what is the point in that.

I will take enjoyment from the positives the current team gives us and beating Penrith regardless of the circumstances is something I will enjoy rather than looking for the negatives and be as down and negative as I would be if we lost the game.

If you read some of my other posts like the ones on the sheens thread and the signing of Gildart, you’d see I’m not being completely negative. I love what Doueihi and Twal and Laurie are doing. I’m happy with Brooks form. I’ll give praise where it’s due, just not rating that win verse Penrith B’s.

And that is fine but you have been giving people a bit of a hard time for enjoying a win. We aren't a good team and the Penrith team was still much better than us on paper so there is nothing wrong with enjoying it.

We’re a good team and on paper we had a better team than Pamfers on Friday nite

I think he’s been strong in defence! Every now and then he bends someone in defence, just needs to do it more. I also agree he’s not the type to do dirty hit ups out of trouble. But I think we can use him more in attacking. Use him like a kikau is close to the line! He can break a tackle. Hopefully this comes the more our combinations play together, I feel like we don’t use our edges as well either.

Comparing Garner and Kikau ?

We can compare Garner to Kikau now after last night. I know who I'm preferring.

One hot day don’t make a summer. Panthers won 27 in a row, we’ve won 2.

Notice you keep trying to downgrade our win in a number of ways.

They had a B grade team, they had 7-8 missing, Kikau had an off night etc.etc.

* As far as I am concerned you can only play what is in front of you.

*They didn't have any players missing - they had 17 players, didn't they?

*They also had the biased Referee pulling penalties and 6 agains from everywhere to give them a leg up.

They were not good enough - that is the result.

As for Kikau - world class my backside. He is just a bludger with a sheeps haircut Lol. Stands out the side and gets a cold, hardly ever takes the hard hitups but is very big at running at the smallest players in the other team and not much else. Plus he likes a bit of the dirt - his effort on Klokstad was an example (got away with it) and how many weeks is Klokstad going to be out? - rest of the season after surgery.

fantastic post!!! the guy is a grub and a bludger. Makes a career out of running at halfbacks and cheap shots

He's a good footballer I won't deny that, but he certainly is dirty. Luckily for him he has a permanently stupid look on his face, always comes up from some dog shot with that same stupid look on his face, as if he has no idea what's just happened.
