LIVE GAME Round 17 versus Knights

[tigertragic]

Whenever Geyer is selected you know the Tigers depth is shot
At least 2 penalties , 2 dropped balls, 2 missed tackles (plus those he didn’t get to )

But he had a lot of friends that looked half hearted

 

[tonza]

We are just way to slow and way too dumb. For gods sake our 18 year old centre had a 30 metre headstart and gets run down

You have to ask where was his support.

 

[Carefactor]

This one’s on Benji.

Should never have kept Geyer on for so long. A tired Seyfarth is soooo much better.

But if Seyfarth makes a mistake half the forum will tell you how shit he is.
But yeah i agree Geyer is shit and shouldn't even get 1 minute

 

[bigsiro]

bula is dead set -- a wet blanket.

$1M for him

lol

what does he do besides catch the bombs?

Nothing.
We got a bog average fullback for years now. Well played Gould.

 

[simonsatiger]

How do you think they played?

ill bite.

The knights were woeful and still won.

Thats how bad we were.

 

[Telltails]

How do you think they played?

Not great today.

 

[Stevec]

Makasini run down despite 20m head start he also had more missed tackles than tackles .Please Benji ?

 

[king_sirro]

It’s almost like no one told him the knights won the spoon last year - and have basically added just a half…

Speaking of which, any chance we could get one ourselves at some point?
Seems our best middle thinks he might be one?
That attack for a wet track was putrid.

We play sideways and that is even worse when its wet. If ever you need to play straight its in the wet. We turned Sione in on the inside a few times but Luai was way to far away feom the defence and Sione was even further to far away from Luai when catching the ball and Newcastle ate it up. Really simple stuff that we get so wrong.

Sorry I thought he was crap. Did nothing except some good touchfinders from penalties.
Good player on his day. But he’s not a halfback. Never has been.

Bludged for the back end of the game.
Rushing out on Ponga so he didn’t have to tackle anyone like the old Doueihi…

Short of a run, but that game was there to be won - and he was clueless, as were the rest of them.
The only bloke that knew how to play today was Bunty!!

 

[W.Boland_c]

I'll be very surprised if the TIgers get another win this season tbh

Ridiculous

Nothing.
We got a bog average fullback for years now. Well played Gould.

Ridiculous

No footy iq - still!!

 

[Chunk]

Our attack was pathetic, our defence didnt cost us the game.

What about a little grubber or two for starters and our back rowers hitting the line with some power and a few inside drop offs, it not rocket science

 

[stephen]

can someone please come and fork my eyes out, that was an horrendous game and VINTAGE tiges; great to have them well and truly back! The less said about that the better

Gouge your own eyes out, MM. I'm busy gouging mine out!!

 

[simonsatiger]

Bunty showed TMay how to run hard and straight

 

[magpies forever]

Newcastle played awful and still we couldn’t win

There’s no structure in attack at all

It was awful

Alas, that is classic WT lack of attacking structure We've been not doing it for yonks.

 

[Tom Shines]

Makasini’s 3 clear misses on Dom Young,

Didn’t we extend him for like $700 a year? Only for 2 years though

 

[orange&black]

In what was an absolute shocker of a football game our mistakes cost us along with our inability to capitalise on field position or opportunities. We should have been up by 18 in the first half and had our chances in the second half.
Our depth without KPP Twal Samuela or Tiny, is just not there- we are having to play guys like Geyer and Makasini etc. and they are just not up for it.
One annoying aspect of the Tigers for years now - I find that I’m screaming at the TV because we seem to have a collection of the most unintelligent football players in the comp.
Very frustrating to watch!!!

 

[supercoach]

After a weekend of watching some really good skill full football played in wet conditions we get served up today’s offering. It cast my mind back to watching some very average Balmain sides in the 90s. It’s been a long time since I have seen such a bog average team run around. Sure they tried hard but their skill level and football awareness is bottom of the pile. St George will win in a canter next week

Ugly watch. Thought the Turuva HIA was poor and same with the 6 again on the long range break. Thought they were always sin bins.

Mak has to learn to tackle this offseason and tackle Seyfarth with him. These guys need to use their shoulders.

Turuva was told to go off because he over acted ti get the penalty he did a little stumble to get a result and it backfired on him. Really poor play from Turuva and he got what he deserved. Benji also got what he deserved by playing Geyer and persisting with Makasini when he should be playing Flegg.

 

[batboy]

No speed in our team , Macca shocked me how slow he was , Newcastle players caught him easy , he was also horrible in defence and has no impact with his runs .
API and Turuva brain snaps cost us .
6 minutes to go and we go up he middle and need a field goal , AD goes and does a bomb , we didn’t look like we new how to get into position for a field goal or kick one , AD should be able to shoot one from 40 mtr out easy , bench was crap , Benji needs to re think how he goes about it as his latest decisions were poor

Dunno anyone can be shocked…
Of anyone in this team makes and break and Bula isn’t there - outside May, no one is there - most of the time.

So many tries we leave out there because no one follows the ball.
