NYC Team Announcement: Finals, Week 1

[fergiefurr]

Mapesone should have wrapped it up. Tigers by 8 with 5 to go

 

[MacDougall]

Mapesone is pretty well built and looks like he has some filling out to do. Looks more like a rangy winger/centre build than a half.

BIg tick to Kimmorly for hooking Alofi and replacing him with Mapesone!!

Masterstroke!

 

[Tigerdave]

that should be it 24-16

only 4 1/2 minutes to go

 

[Sabre]

Mapesone is pretty well built and looks like he has some filling out to do. Looks more like a rangy winger/centre build than a half.

Pretty underrated player.

 

[fergiefurr]

Canberra short kick off but tigers get it. Complete this set and we should win

 

[fergiefurr]

Lol Canberra go the length and held up after we miss about 37 tackles. We'll hold on but really don't deserve the win imo

 

[fergiefurr]

What a joke. Not playing at the ball. If you're holding it in 1 hand it's the ball carriers fault.

 

[happy_tiger]

This is a try

 

[Tigerdave]

so, not a loose carry?

we got about 30 seconds of nail biting

24-22

 

[fergiefurr]

Canberra will get 1 play from the kick off to win

 

[Tigerdave]

well, doesn't matter, we win

 

[MacDougall]

Have to tip my hat to the kids there, the defensive effort was pretty remarkable.

 

[ghost]

Wooohooooo!!

MOM Marshall joooonyarrr

 

[fergiefurr]

Poor performance and lucky win.

4 individual tries and 1 off a spilt bomb.

Played dumb and play makers didn't take control. Will be very lucky to go any further. Disappointing as they have the talent but not the smarts.

 

[NJLM78]

Well done Tigers. Just held on there in the end.

 

[MacDougall]

Agreed, but they will rise for next week. They play better against better teams.

Good win, Kimmorly finally took off 'I catch bombs like Moltzen' Alofi, his best move today. Great game by Marshall-KIng, Woods, Stone, Sokobalavau and Falise in 2nd half.
If only Cassall and Seve could catch the ball to fall over the line, our win would be convincing.
Refrs again, that knock on only against WT :frowning:

 

[ghost]

I thought it was a top effort.

The Raiders had 70% of the ball for the first 70 mins yet we went in at half time at 8-8.

Held up in goal 3 times, and bombed a few more.

We can play better…..well done Kimmorly re hook!

 

[MacDougall]

What's the rule around finals qualification for players in lower grades? If I were Kimmorley I'd be putting Papenhuyzen at fullback next week. He's about a thousand times the player Alofi is.
