TDS still has too much Tiger in him. Horrible game today

 

[Moh]

Tallyn Da Silva had a bad moment where he knocked the ball on then in a fit of rage booted the ball dead. This caused a 20m restart instead of a scrum.

Yah but why?

 

[tig_prmz]

DID YOU SEE GRANT???? DID ANYONE SEE WHAT GRANT DIDD

 

[tig_prmz]

He didn't come from the middle of the field, he came from the other side of the field. That is crazy, this guy impresses me so much

Lomax will NEVER be a winner!

He's got more basic flaws than talent!

 

[tig_prmz]

Why is it a penalty to eels? why not just play on??

Spoilt kid syndrome...

Hopefully we can tease out that innate petulance from his boy Galvin on Sunday!

Yah strange rule

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Geez TDS very ordinary last few games at the Eels can see him playing reggies soon.

I wanna see the long shot of Harry making that tackle on Lomax. I swear he was in the ruck on the other side of the field.

Ummmm - basic refereeing error by Sutton to manufacture a grandstand finish....

Like every week with Gerard - Gee etc...

He was less than 15m from the opposite touch line. Guy is a beast.

 

[innsaneink]

I think that Moretti staying down on the 5th of parras last set was deliberate...stoppage in play can see teams switch of momentarily in defense (well for us it does often)

The only referee who is worse than Sutton is Klein because both try to get the result they want and don't judge teams fairly.

There's a part of me that wishes we still had the Stefano we saw tonight unfortunately we had the WT version

Look at Sattler on Byrne in the 2003 GF first.

Sattler even took a short step to ensure he met his target & didn't over-commit... It's not about pace as much as it is geometry!

For outright pace from one wing to the other tracking diagonally over distance in cover-defence try some of Eric Grothe Senior's highlights!

WE NEVER had that Stefano!

And the Moses drop ball would have seen him correctly penalised for offside if he was in Tigers colours!

A fair weather footballer who is wasting his physical gifts due to his low effort mentality!

He is not worth 650k and believe the club made the right decision letting him go.
Haywood will turn out better IMO but TDS will be good but not great.

 

[orange&black]

Eels looking strong and full of effort in both A and D. Good line speed and kick chase, and Moses long boot helps heaps with field position.
Too many mistakes tonight though and probably a bit lucky Storm were off their game.

Because a few years back (I think 2019 from memory) the people in charge of the game basically had enough of dummy halves just throwing the ball at offside players that they changed the rules.

Dummy Half Passing Ball into Defending Player at Ruck
Where a dummy half deliberately passes the ball into a defending player caught in and around
the ruck who is not actively taking part in the play, such an act will be deemed to be contrary
to the true spirit of the game and constitute misconduct under section 15(1)(i) of the Laws of
the Game, and a penalty will be awarded against the attacking team. Section 15 (1) notes
This does not in any way absolve a defender of his responsibilities to clear the ruck and the
defending team will still be penalised if it is deemed that they are interfering with play.
