LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

[barnsta]

Just need to hold onto the ball, get some momentum and fingers crossed score some tries.
Also need to keep panthers scoreless second half.
Maybe cleary will be given a spell for the second half 🤞

Fatigue is a major factor against superior teams and limits capacity to compete. You can't deny that - a superior team with an advantage spells disaster for the opposition.

You have a better chance if you hang onto the ball.

I used facts earlier but you may have missed them through your torrent of tears.
The very minimum we needed today was 100% completion rate.
We’ve done it a few times this year.
This is pathetic. Hold the bloody ball and you are half a chance.

You are right about our completion level it is disgraceful and shows a total lack of discipline when in possession.

 

[Tom Shines]

This team can't stand up with key injuries, the result is there for all to see.

They got 3 out but plenty of good ones still playing …

Sure … the team is not at the opposition level … but 36-0 at half time ?

You are right, you really showed me and addressed the issues I raised:

Dude !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
this is on the players making mistakes and failing to defend those errors.

We will just pretend the refereeing this season has had no impact on the competition despite top players and coaches calling out. Tucker from nth qld knows better than everyone else. Keep up the great work 👍

I haven't read any of the previous comments. I'm sure none of them are positive and neither should they be. I turned off at 36 nil. In the space of one week, we have returned back to the bad old days of complete ineptness. There's no way, even with the various outs, that we should be capitulating like this. What a gutless, lazy and absolutely pathetic first half effort. Penrith are very good but not 36 nil good. We handed them the game on a platter. I feel embarrassed to be a Wests Tigers supporter. 5 out of 7 to start the season - what a false dawn that was.

 

[gallagher]

Keary calling out Luia, rightly so.

 

[Fish88]

The gulf between penrith and the rest of the comp is enormous. All we l had to do was start well and Pole and Murray drop absolute sitters (Pole’s slightly harder but he caught it then lost it again 🤦🏻‍♂️) seriously, how hard is it to just complete some sets at the start of a game and not give away six agains, at least for 10 mins at the start of a game.

If we had beater depth Maka wouldn’t be out there or at least on the wing. The guys confidence is shot.

The handling has been below reserve grade.

Gold to see Keary give Luai a serve. He’s taking soft options. He isn’t stepping up, take some kicks ffs

The replacements are the issue

Geyer, Murray and Seyfarth would be playing Ron Massey at any other club

 

[BirchgroveTiger]

54 tackles in first 7 mins, that will fatigue any team, and we haven’t recovered!! Sure Penrith are very good , but 6 against are ruining the season for everyone imo. Seriously 6 against should only be where there would be penalies!! Our ball security is woeful , Luai needs to take control in 2nd half for once!!

 

[bigsiro]

Also a b grade line up?

We are without 3 players.

Are the remaining players all b grade?

Tavana, Makasini, Geyer, Murray, Seyfarth are not first grade standard.
That’s 5 out of 17.

We put ourselves under that early pressure. Through our own mistakes. Gave them territory, dropped balls, shocking offloads, missed tackles.

But you said it wasn’t our fault.
You said it was rigged.

Which I disagreed with.
Surprised you’re still arguing that when it’s 36-0 at halftime.

 

[clokan]

Makasini is a turd.

what a crap thing to say

Tavana has been very good . Don’t know why he gets a mention .

 

[shiftysheens]

Madden is so prdictable....he had 20m in front of him that last kick...couldve taken it to the line and put em in two minds...but he just recieves and.kicks straight away...doesnt look at whats happening in front of him

Yep

 

[weststigers]

I dont care what the haters here want to tell me

17 tackles in a row
6 set restarts in 20 mins
Shoulder charge on makasini that goes uncalled

These are breaks in the game that shift momentum.

Ever wondered why there is a momentum tracker.

This is exactly whst haplened against the storm.. The tigers copped the wrong end of the decisions because the ref decided the first 20 mins was going to be one way touch football.

The referees can determine the outcome of a game in the first 20 minutes... and we have seen exhibit a here today.

Only need to look at manly vs souths and the decisions in those games. Its blatantly obvious to anyone willing to look close enoufh.

You forgot the escort from Alamoti and the missed six again a few plays before that.

 

[Tucker]

I expect nothing less from you.
Instead of responding with facts you try take the mickey out of someone- its literally waht you do in 90% of convos here. Keep it up mate

It’s hard to respond to you when you lie all the time.
6 set restarts you claimed…NRL.com says Penrith have only had 2! all game….
Give it a rest you pathetic whinge, you are embarrassing yourself once again.

 

[Gazman]

I think given our depth we have over achieved this year to this point . In all honesty I think Luai leaving is a godsend as even without the PNG news he hasn’t been the saviour or mentor the team needed. Although all I can see is we are one step forward and two steps back.

 

[Stevec]

Makasini is just pain useless
Cant tackle Cant catch Cant run
Benji stop putting kids on the front line
Charlie Murray also not a 1st grader
What is Maddens tactic ? Always kicks long so we can't contest any kicks
Luai poor with 1 try assist to his mates at Penrith
Just plain EMBARRASSING !
NO DOUEHI = NO HOPE .
Pointless whinging at 36-0 but ref ensures game begins with 18 tackles straight to Penrith yet Allomoti takes out Makasini who then cant tackle Too and is not a penalty ?
Also Penrith are able to make every play the ball by us Slow with the 3rd guy in the tackle .This is one of the secrets of their success and apparently is all ok with the refs .Other teams in contention ( not us ) take note !!

what a crap thing to say

I am starting to wonder if maka is as good as we all thought he was

 

[bigsiro]

Tavana has been very good . Don’t know why he gets a mention .

He has been good today. I was just comparing to established wingers, like Penrith’s. He is nowhere near that level. And let’s be honest, we were all crapping ourselves that he would be exposed today.

He has been safe today though. So far.
