LIVE GAME Round 1 vs Knights

[hodgo]

Newcastle win this by 18 if they hold the ball

What about if we hold the ball or don't make poor choices do we get points too lol.

 

[Tom Shines]

Not out wide, though Mason has got a bit of toe, particularly over 30m or so.

who had pace otherwise ?

 

[old_man_tiger]

Great attitude, average execution, acceptable first half, next 40 more important

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Great to see us competitive. Does feel like we’re only just holding on but no doubt improvements of what we’ve seen the past few years.

Api and Bula are big outs too so still more improvement in us.

Promising, but lots still to work on

 

[Tom Shines]

How do I downvote this negative bullshit

it’s reality …

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Rusty first game, but looking good.

Remember we are without Api who is so pivotal in getting our forwards going.

Tristan was OK but threw a few dodgy line ball passes that would have been penalised last year.

 

[StarswithStripes]

We seem fitter. Didn't let one in before HT

After that camp, you couldn’t walk away with being fitter that’s for sure.

Thought that I already covered that.

I agree looked gassed when he went off. Was slow to the play a bit but defended like a demon

 

[innsaneink]

I dont give a shit about the technicalities or anything. its round 1
Just want the 2 points

 

[Tom Shines]

Thought that I already covered that.

he looks mid to me

 

[hodgo]

15 runs by we had games last year where that was our entire backline.

Also douheis leg drive is crazy underrated

 

[SeanT]

I get so annoyed when commentators say the Tigers have missed 18 tackles but there scramble has been good.

If I was the coach I would rather tackle them before you get in the position to scramble.

We have been lucky. But new players in the team it will take time. Hookers been decent but can't wait until API comes back.

 

[bigsiro]

I really hate them going for the 2 … they never got the ball in their half again after that

Hindsight is opposite for me. Showed exactly why we should have taken the 2.

Poor selection of Twal near the line too, but he did his job otherwise and protected Tallyn from the opening salvo needed in defence.

 

[Demps]

Jack Bird, on report for pulling Phoenix Crosslands hair

 

[bigsiro]

Poor selection of Twal near the line too, but he did his job otherwise and protected Tallyn from the opening salvo needed in defence.

Never been a big fan of Twal, but his offload was the reason we scored the try.

 

[old_man_tiger]

People criticising the team need to think about how it feels to be scoreless at half time against 3 time spooners.

 

[Strider]

Suck it gagai

 

[Tim Sheens]

Pressure!
