LIVE GAME Round 16 v Dolphins

[GNR4LIFE]

The "upgrades" to both are a bit of a joke imo..pigs and lippy an all that

Absolutely. But it’s at least locking us in long term. We aren’t abandoning a ground simply because our record there sucks. That’s on the team to do better.

Please punt the MC. So full of himself. At our last game at Commbank, he actually sang a song. We don't need him or the noise between plays.

You couldn’t pay me to be an MC. Imagine the team getting rinsed, down by 40 and it’s your job to pump up the crowd. The last thing you wanna hear, sitting in the stands watching a thumping is the MC trying to get you to chant.

100% the no penalty on Gilbert cost us big time. Being able to make a free interchange and use the 5th player would've helped a lot.

Not sure but I think Gilbert also hit Luai late on 2 occasions

 

[tigertragic]

Agree with you 100% but not sure how that will pan out if Herbert is out

Also not sure if Herbert has a contract of any sort beyond this year. May impact him even further

You guys aren’t blaming the MC for poor attendance are you? No excuses. Cheap tickets, beautiful day. The Knights game earlier in the year is the perfect example. Both teams were in good form & still couldn’t sell out. I have grave concerns for us next year, both on the field & off it if we play majority of games there. I really hope Campbelltown doesn’t get 8 games next year. They don’t deserve it. Before I get shot down as a Balmain v Wests thing, I grew up a Wests fan. I never walk into Campbelltown feeling like its home. Whenever I walk into Leichardt I not only feel it’s home but I have genuine belief we can beat whoever we play there. I have heard people say “the club has never embraced the area”. The club has invested more in the last 3 years into that area than they ever have into the inner west. What a shame we can’t give the funds for Campbelltowns upgrade to Leichardt. I always thought if the club focused the ticket pricing towards families they would sell it out. Well the club did & they still didn’t come.

This is spot on, there is absolutely zero excuse for that not selling out especially with the kids go free tickets, that is a promo which is pretty telling of the situation though, it was obviously made because there is no demand to go and would never occur at Leichhardt cus there is enough demand to go to the games, the club has embraced the area the last few years and the fans don’t turn up

We win that if Madden hadn't been taken out of the match, and we got absolutely nothing from the clearly high and possibly late contact either.

A player has blood pissing from a head wound, yet crickets from all officialdom.

There was enough in it to say came out of the line slightly reckless - penalty all year. Suddenly the injury not even considered. It's enough to assume the refs to an extend were on the Phins. This is how the NRL is now.

Fact is fans aren't stupid they can smell a losing day out at the footy, they had no problem selling out Cambo before the injuries struck and we were flogging teams that's the reality of this sports ground.

Maybe we still loose if we didn't lose Maddon and Herbert, but i think we would been more competitive.
Also probably the wrong week to not have Latu on the bench.
We still almost got there, the commentators were raving on about the dolphin players missing what about us. We are missing so many crucial players... and then lost more during the game.

The after game interviews didn't even include tigers players. Foxtel is FKD
