LIVE GAME Round 16 v Raiders

[weststigers]

Getting close, but fast losing confidence. There are only so many games you can be the better team and still lose by a whisker before your confidence becomes shot. It’s demoralising and this team has to face this situation more than most others. Expect a blow out score line to come soon.

The Dogs had this issue in their first season full of new recruits. Imagine going to work with 15 new employees out of 30 and expecting it to fall into place in 3-4 months. Wouldn't happen. I'm sure you've played footy before. Getting a feel for timing, expected behaviour of certain players at different moments etc. takes time.

I'll say this though. Your confidence and hunger is likely to remain if you are only 4 points away rather than 40...that's the gap we have closed this year.

Try?... Gee said he was short and to play the ball... should've gone upstairs?

True much better than the floggings for sure. However, we’ve been at this for more seasons than the Dogs, they took much less time to rebuild, barely 18 months!

Bula looked like he did his hammy on the very last play of the game when Jarome put the grubber through.

Yes. As frustrating as it is to drop up to 5 games that a more well oiled machine would win, the fact that there are so many opportunities shows that with the new recruits and mindset change, the squad is more competitive.

Where would someone gets the individual players stats from last night's game

NRL.com. Click on our game and then halfway down the page youll see a bar with player stats written on it amongst other options. Click that, scroll down and there they are.

Where would someone gets the individual players stats from last night's game

Or go to player profiles

Hopefully Tiny helps with that, imagine he played tonight with match fitness we probably win

We definitely win, no question.

He would have had ample opportunities with all the overlaps and options we missed.

And some starch in d.

He would have wasted Ricky’s kid, run over him.

We need him now.

That’s a try for every other team but not us and disgraceful that he didn’t go to the bunker to have a look at it

Badger in the box would have probably ruled it as a double movement judging by the way she treats our club.

It would have been a penalty. Clear double movement. Bula showed great footy IQ in not claiming a try so we could play on and potentially score later in that set.

saw that too im not sure what everyone else saw
100% was never a try

 

[upthetigers]

I sometimes think Wests Tigers supporters are bad people and following this team is a form of punishment

Tucker we go back to the point you can play well and still lose.

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

i think if we spent our whole cap we would be better arent we like 2 mill under the cap right now though ???

If Bula steps inside instead of trying to beat him on the outside does he score Tuck, I reckon there was a good chance he does.

 

[Squater]

No but he is very close to being ready to be a 40-50 minute starting player and Api is very close to being ready to becoming a 30-40min number 14.

Agreed we can manage minutes for them both a lot better.But you can have another 19yr old kid run the show.Api is to good right now to play under study.

 

[hodgo]

I actually can't disagree any more woth people having shots at our wingers.

For the first time in years we have wingers that make yardage. We have struggled so badly in that are for so long.
