LIVE GAME Round 2 versus Eels

Live Game Discussion
I can't believe I'm saying this but I watched 9 today and it was much more enjoyable. Voss is one of the games biggest pieces of crap, he is a condescending bully who will jump right on the bandwagon if we kick on. Lowlife Imo.

Cronk sold his soul as a player and has been an embarrassment as a commentator.
I should have switched to 9. Fox commentators were sh!thouse
 
The guys did an amazing job of believing in their system on the goal line in defence . As soon as the eels got a play the ball that looked like it was going to lead to retreating defence the boys held on , gave away the 6 again , and just went to work . It’s cynical , but it’s the tactic that the top clubs have been using since the 6 again came in , because of belief in the defence .
I thought Toa did a really good job of trusting his inside man to affect the ball carrier / block shape fullback , and stay out on his opposite in sliding defence .
Down the other edge , they were quiet , but AD also did a great job , whilst he slid off a few tackles , he stopped the roll on and allowed the cover defence to complete the tackle . I thought the middles worked hard all game as well .
Even the try at the end , if lachie just stays out on his man I don’t think they score that .
 
Bula a massive difference to our squad. Shows you what he can do when he has something to play behind.
Yes
After today’s performance I have changed my opinion on Bula,
I wanted to see him in the centre’s believing he lacked a bit of speed of the mark for a attacking threat,
With the half’s doing a good job inside him he showed me today what others have been talking about for the last year.
Looks promising seeing it was is first game for this year and first with Luai.
 
Where the Bula haters at? He was phenomenal today. Engaged the line every time he ran it.
Also - Terrell May played 65 minutes in that heat, clocking in with 176 meters, 3 offloads and 43 tackles. In 2 games he’s shown more heart in the black and gold than utoikamanu ever did. Good riddance.

highlight of the game was in the second half when we held them out for 6 sets on our line. Grant atkins did all he could to get them over the line and back into the game but the boys showed incredible resilience in the heat. Sensational effort by the lads today. Super proud of them all.

Finally, shoutout Starford toa. Dropped the ball early but was flawless for the rest of the game with some courages, tough tackles and some super nice runs up the touch line.

UP THE TIGS
 
Was watching the F1 so just finished watching the recorded game. 50 mins of great footy and a rare but very satisfying win against the slippery slimers. Shame about the late try but a terrific effort in defence. Made up for the missed tackles from last week. Happy Tiger fan this week.
