Yea . I think someone else was down in back play too . Just a lesson on making sure you don’t clock off . It was garbage time though . You wouldn’t think Ryles would even acknowledge that last 2 minutes .

This was play of the game for me, game won, trying to keep them on 0 and our biggest guy on the park chases down one of their backs to stop the pass.

Some REALLY good signs, some good things come out of that game.
They aren't there yet but are well on there way.
Sure Parra weren't on their game but I thought that was the best 2nd half I've seen from the WT in quite a while.
It was funny to be down to 12 men yet that not being due to a sin bin 😂🤣
If they get that interchange of passing like in the 2nd half going to perfection, there will be plenty of points on offer out wide. There was a lot more resolve in their goal line defence this week, near perfect.
I still have concerns over Doueihi's defence, but for now he deserves his shot at centre with his agile attacking & goal kicking outweighing his defence - so far.
If his defence doesn't fall off or in fact it improves I'm sure we are looking at a season with more success than most predicted.

I don't think there is anything about the game that won't have been disected by now.
Couple of interesting things I found-
Skelton made 0 tackles last week, and 1 this week. Doueihi is inside him. Are the opposition not getting the ball past Doueihi in attack?
With our 2 wingers getting 170m+ each, we now see our forwards contributing Panthers-like numbers- fewer and fewer run metres required. Twal, Fainu x 2, Seyfarth, Bird all under 100m. Only Hunt, Pole & obviously May topping 100m
Bula completely changes the way the Tigers attack. Put to bed the idea he isn't our #1 fullback. Rock solid in defence too.
I think I saw something foreign to the club. Belief. They believed they were going to win.
I think it looks great watching Hunt run off the back fence on kick returns. I'd like to see the team run the tank dry when he's on the field though. He's a decoy runner too often. Particularly close to the line. Run him to empty- particularly if he's only playing 20-30 minutes.
If To'a can play at that level, and Doueihi continues as he is- we don't need centres.

Great to see Luai and Galvin linking up a lot more this week. Made a big difference to the attack
TDS coming on and attacking tired defences is really handy. Made a lot of big runs targeting lazy markers
Royce Hunt another great impact player off the bench, love the kickoff runs!

People forgot what an attacking weapon To'a is - has a mistake in him, but he's very quick and strong. Was a constant threat today

Do you think Bula has grown because of Hodgson on the coaching staff?

So good watching our team song without it being led by Nofa.

I thought his player time management worked really well as well with the bench players. He is learning.
And of cause they new players now on board and joined the crocodile role.
I've had bowel movements with more personality than him.

When Wests Tigers win:
Careful … one good game , gotta back it up consistently . Dint be positive , Tucker will put you into the jerk circle and keyboard bully you .
I love him! 😍🥰
He played with a lot of intent today. Seemed to put it all together.
Who gives a shit about Cronk. The bloke never struck a blow in his NRL career. Went from 1 cap cheating team to another. He never brought a team out of the gutter and made them something. The NRL version of an entitled rich kid with a rich daddy and now thinks he can talk shit about whoever he wants.

I wasn’t watching intently for this but did all the balls not intentionally just go past him?
