Adam wears his heart on his sleeve, but at 7, not only does he not direct the team around, but instead of creating space for his outside players, he takes it off them. As soon as Latu came on tonight we were smoother. Javon needs to be outside him. Adam and Luai should cover the missing centres spots.

One shining light is Maka. His defence is improving every week. Unfortunately a 18 year old kid is being used as a battering ram. He gets no space at all and thats zapping his confidence in attack to just hit ups. We need Latu and Javon there to give him time and some space. I still believe he's the real deal, at least as good as Chris Lawrence at the same age.

I think the ref called more incorrect forward passes than Adam had regular passes in the first half.

There were some suspiciously baffling forward pass calls just as the Tigers started to look like they were coming back into the game.

Weirdly, there were some equally suspicious 'not forward pass' calls for the Bulldogs just after half time as the game was becoming more of a contest.

But I digress.

I am beyond filthy about the absolute garbage that was dished out to fans tonight but I am not going to just blame the Luai drama, this goes way beyond any of that. Tonight we were presented with a team that lacked the ability to carry out even the basics of rugby league. This was a team that had slow play the balls, were unable to make even simple tackles & had zero attacking skills.
We had players who literally looked at the ball on the ground, as if they were confused as to how it got there, rather than dive on the ball. They totally lacked any kind of structure in their game & sorry I don’t care how well Benji said they trained, they looked like they haven’t even had a training session in weeks. I get that we have had injuries but guess what, so has every other team in the competition. This has to come back to the coach & coaching staff because obviously this is the standard they continue to accept or this is the limit of their coaching abilities. I am so tired of tiger fans being expected to accept mediocre, or worse, efforts & being told that it is improving & we are building on it. We are not building on anything but working towards the biggest spoon collection & waiting for the next brain explosion from the club. There are absolutely no excuses for that game & the club needs to stop expecting the fans to give them a pass.
Ok I will shut up now, I am just so tired of being disappointed although I should be used to it by now. Supporting this club is traumatic.

Totally agree your comments. Dock their pay. Change the name from Tigers to pussies

Simply wrapping his arms fixes the problem of him rightly being penalised and binned. Else it is not much different than tripping, just using his shoulder instead.

it’s nothing like tripping. That would be like saying an ankle tap is like tripping but using your hands. I could understand if you said shoulder charge but his arm is out from his body. It’s a legs tackle.

It’s pretty obvious that if you’re playing poorly in the NRL the refs aren’t giving you any sympathy. There’s a solution and it’s on us.
 
Geez, I think we will get the spoon again this years folks. Brave showing up each week we have to, but shite is in the camp and it’s all over. Benj must be sitting at training watching - he knows we are done , what’s he do. Toa and Skelton , seyfa… they are done. Fir such a big dude Skelton gets dominated so easy , there’s no steel fight or bite to him.

Good post.

AD to centre,
Push Averillo to wing?

1. Jahream Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Adam Doueihi
4. Taylan May
5. Jake Averillo

$700k winger . He will go in the centre avo, Latu 6/7, AD stays, Andrews will get a bench role.

It's an awkward & probably ill advised & uncontrolled tackling technique. He needs to work on that.

That said- what they are penalising him for is wrong. The runner was in an awkward position because of his own momentum.

Referee's are dumbly calling the penalty on Fainu because they can see it's unusual. But there isn't anything theoretically outside of the rules in the technique.

He doesn’t wrap his arms. At the last minute he turns away from the tackle and it turns ugly. He knew himself he stuffed up.
 
The Chad said:
But he also doesn't lead with his shoulder, lift, or hit anyone high.

What is he actually guilty of? Getting in the way?

Placing an attacker in a dangerous position I imagine. If they don’t end up on their head, probably for a shoulder charge.

On the plus side, we looked a bit more likely in attack with him on the ball.

I won’t hear any more complaints.

I went out to the ground to support the team tonight with four children.

I was re thinking my choice after about 2 minutes. The only excitement the kids received were the hot chips. Could have left the flags at home

Sorry about that I hope they didn't over charge for the chips

No spoon but bottom 4

Something has happened since the Luai PNG announcement the group is split mostly likely internal bit(hing and blaming

Honestly they are so privileged to wear the Tigers jersey and paid great money

But act so unprofessional


They are amateurish and have no metal no gumption no fighting qualities it's all about me and my emotions

It's ingrained into the walls
 
They need to drop Laui, Jeral Skelton, turuva all three need to be dropped back to KOE cup
and Terrell mays to start from the bench.

Something has happened. They extended and now they are professionally comfortable being out of finals contention.
