LIVE GAME Round 14 v Panthers

[Speed2burn]

Agree. But it was a big moment and a really bad call. No reward for the effort to get to the kicker and put pressure on. The ball hadn’t even left his boot when he hit him.

Penrith got a penalty goal and a try in that 5 minute period following. Nobody would have complained if it was play on

 

[Tom Shines]

The refereeing is awful every week. Some time it favours us but usually we're on the receiving end. Unfortunately, the only way to take pathetic officiating out of the equation is to get better.

I’m pretty sure that they are still permitted to defend the next set…even when it’s a call that doesn’t go there way …

They had their opportunities today …probably could have put more points on the board …and the usual try on half time was critical … I don’t know what the hell is going on with that

Worst thing is that people here use the refs call to excuse other issues with the team… that’s all we’ll be hearing about it the next 48 hours

Need Latu to start at 6 and Mason to the bench.

No, no, no , no !!!
Latu 7 Mason 6, Luai 13 ( ball playing lock), starting to seem obvious to me.

 

[Tiger_claws]

No on field warm-up. Strange.

Mason a standout for me. Luai to 13 ??

Surely your joking? Mason constantly steps inside. He and AD stifled so many attacking raids. I like Heath but I was watching from behind in the second half and so much space on the right he stepped back in and AD man can he not only hog the ball but its also a sluggish play the ball. Romey had his best game for us IMO. I like Benji but our middles looked gassed at times in the second half and he didn’t use Kit. Latu has to start at 6 and Heath in 14.

 

[Tigerdave]

Another loss by under 6 points. Is that our fourth for the year?

4 games lost by 4 points or less

Why carry Kit L on the bench to not play him? Stupid decisions AGAIN

Especially in the NRL you shouldn't be picking players to just sit on the pine.

 

[Fraze23]

Marshall may have had Kit on the bench for him to train with the NRL team and to experience from the bench what it requires to get to NRL level. He may be doing the young man a favour so he can go back to NSW Cup and improve his game especially his impact with the ball.

By that logic it's bizarre that he debuted Murray then.

 

[SwervinMervin]

Very disappointing last weeks attack not there this week
Although Bula being tackled a foot short of the line unlucky
Last 3 games vs Souths probably would have won if Galvin didn't drop the ball over the line
Vs Cowboys lost by 4 pts 6 tries to 5 and 4 of theirs were against 12 men
Vs Penrith lost by 4 pts again 3 tries each
Not a lot of luck last 3 matches but we have to improve attack so games are not tight .If its tight we lose !!!!

The last gasp desperation efforts by Penrith in the last 10 minutes. Not much wrong with Tigers attack this arvo.

I'm sorry but I don't understand that. He can train with the top squad as much as he likes

 

[Tooff-less Cat]

Doueihi can't be considered a first grade center, need to upgrade that position next year.
Charlie Murray no good, where was kit?

Had Bula as man of the match closely followed by luai.

We should have won that game, weren't far off!!

He already trains with the NRL team. Why even name a 17 if you're not going to play them?

 

[hilly1981]

4 games lost by 4 points or less

Hopefully these are the games we turn into W's in 2026.

I read comments on this forum that the other prop in NSW Cup, the Balmain junior brought back from the Knights, had been playing excellent footy so it was a surprise Kit was selected.

Attn: Shane Richardson
Please use the profit from playing at Parramatta to let Benji get a fine at the press conference. It’s the only way we can stop the refs gambling on Tigers and Titans matches.

Attn Shane Richardson, get us Bellamy

No I’m not joking, AD I agree but I thought. Mason with a little more direction can make it.

 

[Lukic]

Luai on the left and Fainu on the right as halves makes sense. Need to see what Latu's kicking game is like, would be nice having an option on both sides of the ruck.

Mason could be dangerous in a roving lock role for the last 20-25 of the game. He's got a good step and the acceleration to cause trouble around the ruck with tiring forwards. Don't think his game is there yet for a full-time half however.

Can’t agree …it’s not the first time this has happened .,if he isn’t ready to play then pick someone else because you need 17 to win these days

Agree, he is so slow. He was given so much space and time on a few occasions and it looked like he was running in quick sand

Give T’oa the same opportunities and I think there is 1-2 tries there

 

[old_man_tiger]

Share kayo subscription with a mate. Gonna stop paying. Sick of watching Dicks like Ennis and Co glaze Galvinesque characters and see our club continuously be the butt of every joke in the NRL (much of the ridicule is deserved) I can't bring myself to watch 80 minutes anyway.

It’s not logic mate
- is his usual arse licking…
A bloke who’s already debuted - needs experience sitting on the bench?
Yeah right!!
