Well, that's it after Cronk's 2nd try, the Samoan's really lost the plot in the 1st half, just giving away dumb penalties.

Robbie dumped for Ben Hunt too.

 

[Tigger8]

Good games from all Tigers involved.

Jesse Sue throwing Greg Bird 5 metres in the last few minutes! That was gold.

I enjoyed Simona making Cammy look like a goose

Roos had to much class in the end…

 

[Pierre_M7]

Samoa played very well in all 3 games, did better then many expected

 

[magpiecol]

Sue was very, very good. Simona the same.

Sue was very, very good. Simona the same.

Yep great to see our boys do well. Also thought Woods had a great first half. Didn't seem to get many mins in the 2nd half though.

I hope Taylor realises that Simona is a winger. Swapping Simona and Nofoaluma is the best move. Simona has more agility and is dangerous returning the ball, Nofoaluma is a great hole runner and super strong. Swap em!

I think I agree with this. I remember one time Nofo being turned inside off a scrum and the way hit the hole I thought "gee we need to get him in more situations like that"…and the centre's is exactly where he will get those opportunities.

He's a superb finisher though and we would miss that.

Woods is close to the best prop in Australia at the moment, even at full strength he'd have a spot. He's been superb this whole series.

They would've won the first two games if they had chosen a goal kicker in the side! Perhaps Parish isn't as bad a coach as we all seem to think he is.

 

[MacDougall]

I don't think the issue was his ability as a coach. It's the fact that he's a huge douchebag that most were worried about.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Every pic i've seen of the guy, he looks unstable.

his defence was poor today, in two of their three tries…he gets lazy here

Simona's try was entirely Smith's fault but agreed on Roberts' try

Entirely?

So I must have imagined Woods switching off for that split second which meant Simona could slip under him

Maybe he didn't want to hurt his Tigers team mate - Lord knows we have had enough pre-season injuries :mrgreen:
