Next weeks team

[Danos]

Can only hope this next game will be a bit like the Broncos game at Suncorp in 06 when we went up there without a bunch of our topline players and a few debutants fired and we turned it on.

 

[softlaw]

Just looking at all the teams and players available, we really are screwed.

Yes, yes we are.
But it will give us another excuse for not making the 8.

Please Mullaney ..no offence makes Lui look like a tackling machine give me a break talk about desperate.

mullaney is a fullback he only needs to make a couple of tackles a game

hes a good attacking player that reminds me a lot like lawrence was when he first started out
also hes scored 6 tries in hes last 2 games and is the leading point scorer in toyota cup

 

[Danos]

Hope he does we need players with the experience playing!

 

[tomcat]

Need players that want to turn up and give 100% No experience needed…there's guys in the state cup that are up for it,

 

[izotope]

Please cut out the Sack Gibbs and Sheens sh*t.

Gibbs was one of the Tigers best against the Eels. The penalty he gave away on the 4th where he was in the play-the-ball area was milked. Have a look at the dummy half coming from the open side of the field and going to the short side to trip over Bryce. Who's fault? The refs for falling for it.

The other penalty after the Hayne break was a well though out penalty. He gave his team time to get a rest, especially after he feigned injury. If he doesnt do that, the Eels score and game over much earlier.

His defence was outstanding and so were his hit ups. Made yards all night.

As for Sheens, can you blame the caoch for creating a team that looks like it can challenge for the title, is on a roll and firming as the dark horses and then fate has is that injuries cruel any chance of a win?

Losing both wingers within 5min early in the game would kill any team. You use up replacements and lose venim on the edges.

Wake up to yourselves and support and applaud the courage of the team to fight to the end even though everything was stacked against them including the refs calls and bounce of the ball.

This is one of the best Tigers team we have seen since 2005 and they have been competitive in almost every match this year.

And the knees on Burt?

The bloke is an idiot.

Hybrid,

If you are a 108kg frontrow trying in desperation to make a tackle when the opposition players dives in for a try do you and your 108kg frame, that is on the brink of exhaustion, try and jump over the top of the oposition player or fall in a heap to the ground?

Have a good think about what Gibbs should have done in that situation instead.

Clumsy - yes.

An 8point try - no.

Even Coach Anderson said that the use of knees was not deliberate but reckless.

Gibbs was one of our best on Friday night. The tackle on Haynes was a gem.

He is a grub and has had that crap in his game forever. He deliberately lead in with the knees, soft yes, but a penalty nonetheless.

:exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation: **<big>NO BRYCE GIBBS!!!</big>** :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation:

Are you kidding he is one of our best defenders that covering tackle on Hayne was great then backed it up with another on Inu then got penalised because he was injured… & seriously where did everyone expect the big fella to go when he was one of the only ones chasing back Burt for that penalty try, it looked to me as he was trying to stop before he got to Burt... but he is a big bloke & carries a fair bit of momentum...

I thought he was one of our best...
