LIVE GAME Round 11 vs. Rabbitohs

[SeanT]

Funny I thought that was a good game of footy. There was not much in it and yet they are the form team of the comp. Hard to be dirty about the result and actually don't think it was a true reflection of difference between the two teams.

Huge difference. They were in 3rd gear.

We have improved alot for sure but they needed to play some football straight after the break. They waited until the 70th minute. Fair dinkum.

Our backs run too much sideways, we need to straighten the attack, our backs don't draw anyone. Then again what would I know, I'm only a supporter.

 

[SeanT]

Is Benji the attack coach? Fair dinkum. Might have to be sacked haha

 

[Stevec]

For 74 mins the premiership favourites score just 1 try
For 80 minutes Tigers score just 0 tries .That's a problem
However 20-0 is not a fair reflection of the game 12 pts in last 6 mins when fatigue is affecting many . Kepoa again he's the fresh one on the field and his tackle for their 2nd try in effective as allows offload and try .their last try no forward marking up fatigue ?
We are good at 2things Ball handling & Tackling but we are dreadful attacking in opposition 20m zone

 

[Tiger-ferret]

We risked it when we were behind 8-0 with 9 minutes to go.

Would you like instead to do 4 hitups with a bomb to the corner? 🤔

Off loading to the oppositions chest with a tackle in hand is not what we wanted.

 

[SeanT]

The team was great. They didn't deserve to lose by 20. Still a work in progress but I have hope for the first time in years. I actually enjoy watching them play.

Having players at the back who can catch makes a huge difference. Just need better finishing. Api should do more of the short kicking IMO. Luke's a good runner but he has never had a good short kicking game.

The lesson of this game is - DO NOT KICK OR RUN AT CAMPBELL GRAHAM!

They are better. But I didn't enjoy that game at all. Boring as.

Kickathon and hit ups.

Rubbish.

There was no way they were in third gear. They were gassed because we matched them. It was only a bit of class from their best that got them over the line

 

[Wiz]

It always hurts to lose but realistically this is just where we are as a team at present. On a dry track against the best teams we just can’t score enough points.

How many teams have been in 5th against us apart from the Broncos? I think you're selling us a bit short, our 1-5 and 8-17 are good and make it tough for teams.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Well done. You've just taken the award for dumbest comment of all time.

Go away , you troll .. week in week out , tired of your BS

 

[earl]

Big effort. We hung set for set with the best team on the planet.

The scoreline sucks because we were better than that.

 

[earl]

Go away , you troll .. week in week out , tired of your BS

From the brainiac who just stated that Twal was our best half. That is trolling.

 

[SeanT]

Huge effort can't not be proud of our team today against the top team in the Comp at their home ground and just a bit of luck not going our way. Obviously we need more points but effort was huge

Yeah the effort was great.

We are missing a great deal in attack though. If Wakeham isn't going to play direct to the defence then he should be dropped.

He does nothing in attack.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Rubbish.

This is perfect footy for a team who doesn’t have the skill set for expansive play.

 

[earl]

He does nothing in attack.

No one really did though. We need better but he stays for mine.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Wet weather all good but dry track get rid of it. Need to score minimum 20 points a game. Start training for it.

Yeah, I don't mind it when we have been leading, which is possibly rare as a result, but not when behind. No point being in the "washing machine" without bringing some type of surfactant to break it down.

 

[BalmainJnr]

The scoreline well and truly flattered the Grubbitohs today.
I would imagine they are in the sheds feeling like they had to earn that one against tough opposition.
Can’t say that has been the case many times in recent years.

 

[liltiger]

I keep saying… what to people expect with this backline ? Other than the fullback… they aren’t up to nrl standard …

The back line are fine we need halves, we have a finals squad atm bar a 6 and 7. That's what's costing us they are both fine backup players but togeather aren't up to running a team

 

[GCfan]

Gutsy effort but Souths too good for us. I think that's about where we are at right now.

Agree with this. We compete and stay in the fight but just can’t attack. It’s gotta be dealt with surely.

Exactly .. they do not even support the ball carrier , and do nothing to draw the defence .. does not even look like they organise an attacking play .. it is obvious to anybody that understands the game .. it needs to be addressed for the team to ever pose a consistent attacking threat
