LIVE GAME Round 22 vs. Cowboys

[lathami]

Performance and attitude of Sam Fainu should be applauded. Maybe an over reaction but he’s the most compete player in our squad at his position outside of Api.

Don’t know about complete his defence needs work. But that will come with time

 

[Tom Shines]

I know dude

Im just saying we should offer big number now.

Whatever it is.

lol.

You think I don’t know he wants to be in a winning team?

I know he does.

But a long offer for big coin is the only thing that might work… if he think luai will turn us around. Lol

yeah .. I got it 👍…

but unfortunately he isn’t going to take the money now ..

 

[TheGreenWookie]

If the Olam high shot is going to set a precedent, we should expect to see 1 or 2 more send offs this round

 

[Dr_Ice]

Don't worry about Galvin or pin point his errors. He is a superstar in the making. He is playing in a losing team that is surrounded by negative media and in house issues.. He has immense ball skills and reads the game well. Not his fault at this stage (and his age) that he overplays his hand at times. Watch him develop next year playing alongside Luai

He would be unstoppable if he had an extra yard of pace.

 

[Tucker]

I'm still stuck on the send off. If it's that much force to the head how is he not hia d instantly

He did go off. I’m not sure if it was HIA or not though.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Next we’ll probably see Sezer & Sione Fainu come back in. Latu Fainu I think automatically misses a week with cat 1 HIA & Twal probably misses with injury. No doubt Olam will get suspended so Doeuihi slots back in also. Doubt Pole will be back just yet so Tim Johannsen may get another game.

Like..every game

 

[batboy]

Money talks tho … managers want commission. Moses loves money.

An $8m offer for a 19yr old is that ludicrous it just might work

We need to keep vultures away next year

Also keeps Moses paid for that time….
Nothing saying he doesn’t get a new manager in a couple years when his deal expires….

Moses makes a long term deal now, he gets paid for those years too

 

[innsaneink]

Stef didn't seem to cop much from the crowd

 

[Twodogs]

What does the salary cap have to do with our discipline?

Olam did worse on Sam Walker and he was not only not sent off, he didn't get penalized and was lauded by the media. Olam didn't turn bad when he came here. He is exactly the same.

I think everyone's over it and no one cares.

I was more excited to see latu in the halves with Galvin. Shame he came off early.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Didnt watch the game, just watched the NRL highlight package, Was the Olam send off justified? Looked like just a hard tackle in the clip. I guess any hard tackles are send offs now the game has gone softer than netball.

Definitely a send off because it was A Tigers player .. any other team, good hit mate, play on

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Seriously, are the Tigers the only team in the NRL who gain no advantage with playing at home? They lose 50/50 calls, the penalty count, get players binned, sent off. I've watched, and loved, this game for 50 years but I believe now, more than ever, that there is something sinister and corrupt with the officiating. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but something isn't right. But what I do know is that the Tigers always cop the disgusting calls.

The fact that they gave us the exact same clown show as the Disgusting Townsville game where we robbed after the bell … they have to be TROLLING us

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Don’t know about complete his defence needs work. But that will come with time

Just his positioning really, his technique and commitment to each tackle can’t really be questioned,, also tries to sting with each tackle

 

[weststigerman]

I don’t think Latu touched the ball apart from a couple of kicks before the HIA. Needs to overcall Galvin sometimes.

 

[Westie]

I am still so angry about the ref's performance last night. It really killed the game the fact that the boys kept fighting was a credit to them.
But something needs to be done about the ref and the bunker.
This ref has a history of ripping us off, he can't still be in this job.
How do we make an issue of this, start a petition into corruption in the sport?
He was criminal last night, we need to investigate possible betting links , I don't know just not acceptable.
I wish Benji and Api went ballistic in the post game interview.
😤😤😤

 

[Tucker]

Olam did worse on Sam Walker and he was not only not sent off, he didn't get penalized and was lauded by the media. Olam didn't turn bad when he came here. He is exactly the same.

Yeah, what’s that got to do with the salary cap though?

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Tucker I know you are a passionate supporter of the referees and you are correct that we bring some of the decisions on ourselves and also we have a lot of work to do to win games that the referees have nothing to do with.. but, we do receive calls and decisions on a weekly basis that are pathetic and often seemed to be referreed to a standard that other teams are not.. it stands out like dogs balls and even other team supporters notice it and comment on what a rough treatment we receive..

All teams get stiff calls.
The difference is how you react to them.
Our teams do not handle adversity well and compound a poor decision with atrocious defence or more infringements.
I am not a passionate supporter of the refs…most are pencil necked wankers. I just can not stand fans taking the easy route out and blaming them because our team cannot catch, pass, tackle, hold a line, score a try, defuse a bomb etc….

We simply need to start cheating like the Dogs have done this year. Get off our line early every single tackle. Ref's won't penalise everytime for fear of being accused of ruining the game. We will cop a heavy 6 again count to start with but it will die off. That will then get us in the arm wrestle more, even things up in the middle. Once that happens calls will start to come our way.
My brother at the game last night said the Cowboys were constantly in front of the ref and he just let it go. Deliberately breaking the offside rule is done by every club up the top.
