LIVE GAME Round 13 v Cowboys

[pawsandclaws1]

Sukkar's hit on Neame when he picked him up and drove him backwards demonstrated intent. He has plenty of fight in him as does Mason. That is what we need at our club.

 

[Tucker]

Poor T'oa.
He's been great, always looks like he's getting shotted though.
Cops a few whacks.

Losing Twal hurt us.
Royce starting is hurting us.
Missing Pole is hurting us.
And although Staines has grown on me, I think Skelton and Lualilii are better options.

Missing those starters obvs makes things harder for us but at least we look like we tried tonight.

Yep that’s all played a part. That’s why we need a much better balanced roster. We need these new signing ASAP..

 

[Tom Shines]

They need to start winning some football games.

It's as simple as that.

This self-sabotage, disjointed bullshit needs to be erased.

The entire club needs a kick up the ass.

It's not good enough to perform at 58% every week. This side needs to start hitting in defence, executing on chances and start actually turning up with some intensity.

If Richardson can’t turn this team around then I don’t know who is going to come here and do it …still a long way to go with this current team

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

I think we would've won if it wasn't for those two sin binnings.

Both quite soft.
Bateman is a massive goof.

imo we wouldnt have played like that in the last 20 if we were in it so we probley would of lost anyways
ill be dissapointed though if next week we went back to our normal stle and got smashed but again came back when we started throwing the ball around

What??!!! Demanding a commitment to improvement & excellence, with focus & effort for 80mins? Get outta here!

 

[mtd#2]

Yeah true but if Richo and Benji don't bring some high quality players to the club, we will continue to be ordinary.

Its clear as day we need about four quality footballers to improve

Yeah I agree mate, but they couldn't sign 10 new players in one off season...

We have to understand that proper rebuild takes time...

 

[hugh1954]

I'm impressed with the fight in the team. Having 2 in the bin, to only lose 32-28, I've got some real optimism in the direction this team is going after the Galvin debacle. Now they can just concentrate on the season.

Being 1 player short for 20 mins, to where the Cowboys scored the majority of their points, and for them to have a desire to win, i can't complain. Though the Doueihi sin bin, I thought was a bit tough.

Definitely looking for 3 six again calls = sin bin in future

Toa injured, where is Naden

T

Toa injured, where is Naden

Toa annoyed me tonight. Limped around in defence and let them walk in a try. Then has no issue running in attack

 

[Tucker]

Really?

AD shits the bed with his goal-kicking when the pressure is on - and his previous bomb didn't even allow for any chasers to compete!

The strategy of "just kick it high" is schoolboy shit!! @Tucker

They were shot. That little trick play chip over the top was very welcomed. Easily cleaned up.

 

[Camel2281]

Hunt just can't be a starter either

 

[Demps]

Yep that’s all played a part. That’s why we need a much better balanced roster. We need these new signing ASAP..

Was just thinking,
- After this Galvin nonsense
- We lost another game

Surely some good news to follow this coming week. We need some positivity.
Signing announcements would be nice.

Our top 30 has been cooked for years, having players there that never even play. Guys like Tumeth. Many more before them.

A balance roster is so important.
Look at the good clubs like Storm and Broncos.
Their depth is outstanding.

We've got Matamua and Feledy.

I'm not convinced Nanis try wasn't Taruva taken off the ball.

 

[bbobb]

This team is different from the ones of recent past. Realistically we should have beaten the Bunnies (thanks Voldemort) and without the sin bins and injuries, we get the win tonight. The never say die attitude is refreshing to what we had in the past.

 

[Tom Shines]

Toa annoyed me tonight. Limped around in defence and let them walk in a try. Then has no issue running in attack

He has played levels above what we have seen from him previous 3 years … but he also looks to have turned in to another plasticine man …injured or about to be .. There is always something with this team

 

[stephen]

When in the last 10 years have we had the character we have now? A playing group as tight as we are now?

We were a bees dick from one of the greatest comebacks in the NRL after playing a quarter of the game a man down... Three quarters of the game with 3 on the bench

Fk the negative ppl on here

I believe!!!!!!! Praise lord Richo and Benji!!!

Not negative, realistic. No trophies for coming within a bee's dick of a comeback win.
Definitely some cause for optimism, but still a million miles from where we need to be.

 

[tigerfan59]

Not happy with a loss but proud of the lads.
Like us to keep putting the work in and I expect us to be dramatically improved next year.

Big fan of Luai.
Took it to Bateman.
Be nice if we coulda humbled that joker.

We won't be making the 8 but hopefully we continue turning up and showing some heart and improvement.

This year I will be happy anywhere on the ladder apart from last.
No wooden spoon for us is a step up from the last 3 years.Next year top 8

Doueihi's sin bin was a joke.

Tactic definitely look to ball then turn your back into Bula's legs as he jumped, maybe we should practice it

 

[Chunk]

What does it mean or say about the team, if two of your most experienced players are sent of for dumb plays?

Tigers fans assume their usually position of looking forward to next year…
