Luke Garner

[BAGNF05]

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.

Didn't realise the GF was 27 games ago

27 competition games, regardless comparing Kikau and Garner is still ridiculous

27 in a row?

Each time I've watched Kikau this season, he's been a good player in a good team. I'm kind of thinking he's a bit of a myth. He certainly is imposing, but there's plenty of games that he's far from a stand out. Garner has been very solid for some time now and I'm hoping still on an upward trajectory.

Man there’s some delirium on here. He’s a key part of a side who won 27 Comp games in a row. We beat them but they had 7 or 8 players missing. So their streak is effectively still going when they get those guys back. We’ve just had back to back wins for the first time since the ice age and now our average back rower compares with their world class one?????? Please.

Not after Friday’s game, Kikau was ordinary imo and the team showed how to handle him.

27 regular rounds wins in a row, something we could only dream about

 

[GCfan]

i wasnt a garner fan. he always had skills but seemed disinterested in defence. The last month and a bit i honestly think you could argue that he has been everybit as good as luch and luch has been real good.

100% agree

Everyone is allowed an off night, he’s had plenty of the opposite. Let’s be real.

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.

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.

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
