We were leading and should have won.

Nofoaluma, a player of his experience, having the ball stripped. Huge moment.

Talau and Doueihi allowing Latrine out of the in-goal , Huge moment

But they didn’t, he put his heel on the line in the in-goal. Should have been a line drop out. Epic fail by all officials.

Didn’t touch the chalk mate

Tamou needs to be punted ..monumental arm grab that led to Gagai scoring .

Brooks still a headless chook on there line ...4 repeat sets and nothing

Roberts is a myth

Cody Walker needs a smack in the mouth

And finally are we really that I’ll disciplined that we’re on a 7 to 2 repeat set flogging ..I don’t think so .

?

Six again against Wests Tigers Sutton strikes again.I would like to know our win loss ratio with this guy officiating.

W15 L21

Penalties 104-122
Statistically only Roosters do worse under him

We've only won one of the last 11 with him. That's worrying.

Par for the course really, as apart from the close win over the Knights, WT only other win in the last dozen games and more during which we have conceded a ridiculous number of points, was by a conversion against Manly.

For the previous half dozen matches prior to that, our only win was through a Brooks field goal against the dogs to come back and win by a point.

Sure, the boys put up a fight in the last three halves of footy, but even as a long suffering Tigers fan for half a century now, I struggle to recall a stretch worse than our current one.

This has to be our worst run ever

It was extremely disheartening looking at the ladder to see that apart from beating the Dragons who were shocking last year in the first round, we have only beaten (and lost to some as well) teams currently tenth spot (Newcastle) and below since.

Maguire may well turn out to be the messiah and take us along to glory, but two and a good bit years in and he's looking more like the naughty boy.

Yeah he did, right on the edge of his heel. Maybe I should send you to Spec savers as well

Already been
Maybe you need to go back

Talau had the chance to trap him in goal before your spec saver moment..
Not good enough..
Thats why we continue to suck
It’s all the little things we fail at that snowball

That don’t show shit lol
Thought you were an avid optics buff ?

It clearly shows his heel touching the white chalk.

No it doesn’t ..
And you seem to be the only one on here that’s mentioned it or has been blowing up about it ?

Fact is they need to play every play and every moment just like Brooks did with his 100m no try

 

[Tim Sheens]

It was a close call and I have no great opinion 9n whether it was out or not. Either way it was terrible play from us not to at least put some pressure on Mitchell and try to keep him in goal.

People like to put crap on Nofoaluma, but there is no way he doesn't at least try to nail that important play.

I agree with your second point however it should have been a line drop out. There is no green between his heel and the white chalk, because he is touching the white chalk.

I’ve watched it half a dozen times
My tv is brilliant
I’ve been to spec savers
The reverse angle shows he didn’t touch the line
The touchies thought it was good
The bunker thought it was good
Let it go .

That’s not a great photo and I thought last night from what I saw that he stayed in.

However from further footage I’ve seen today it’s pretty clear his heel does catch the line.

It’s just blown up from the TV coverage. The thing to note is there are no green pixels behind his heel. That means he is touching the chalk.

From the reverse angle


 

[voice_of_reason]

Images aren't conclusive one way or another.

What would have been is if Talau had smashed him. Opportunity lost to legally bury him in the in-goal.

 

[DGilly]

I think Twal should start at prop. Stefano had much less of an impact when starting.

Potentially unpopular opinion but I think Liddle should start at lock. He can get through 50 tackles in a game so won't be a liability in that aspect and will be a great link player before Mbye comes on to fill a similar role.

Roberts is a weapon whenever he gets the ball. People need to lay off his minimal impact. He gets in space when the players inside him do their job. If they do poorly he gets no good ball.

 

[BAGNF05]

Having enjoyed our defensive effort yesterday I believe our red zone attack is still an issue. The 4th tackle soft hit up (Twal mostly) which leads to a slow play the ball and a kick under pressure is the one that gets to me the most. Twal couldn’t score at a trance festival, we should be involving one of our elusive players in the hope they either break free and score or get a faster play the ball to give our kickers a chance.

To be fair Talau is a whisker from slapping that ball back for a try.

Low percentage play
Should’ve just tackled him
They are learning the hard way
