LIVE GAME Round 24 vs. Rabbitohs

A succulent Chinese meal 😂

With all those Bulldogs supporters around the place I hope he knows his Judo well. 🤣

The ground looked pretty empty for a sell out? I like that we played Souths there though. Big games at Campbo is smart.

Yeah was bit of a strange one. Announced crowd was only about 11500 so if less than 1000 tickets were unsold like they were saying then it seems quite a lot of people didnt show up. But being there it didnt 'feel' like a small crowd to me. Was quite a good atmosphere.

I reckon Sam will be up for next week against Manly except he lines up against Haumole!

. . . . . . . and smashes him. 🤣

Yeah, couldn't believe the Wests Tigers had never played Souths at Campbelltown before!

 

[hank37w]

If I ever develop a heart condition, this team will be a threat to my life. So glad that pass was called

Knowing only too well how we can throw a game away, I was not very comfortable with a 16-4 lead at half time thinking that it would not be enough and that we would fall apart and get run down for sure as only Wests Tigers can.

 

[hank37w]

How did you know Bunnies would hand in a rip snorter like that?
Can’t see Manly throwing in the towel at LO in the BBQ DERBY.

Yeah, we're cooked. 🤣

 

[Bula]

How lame was the Big Pillow's defensive effort on the final no try? No awareness. Jog then hang an arm out when the game's on the line. Typical.

I was in the Western Grandstand bang in line with Wighton's apparent forward pass which started the break that almost cost us the game. Everyone was outraged it was let go. Not sure how it looked on tv, but definitely looked forward from my point of view.

Just relieved she called Murray for one finally after he threw a few dubious ones throughout the game.

 

[hank37w]

That second 40 was one of our worst of the year.
Imagine we played anyone in the top 8….it would have been a massacre.

I don't know what Benji says to them but it couldn't have been all that inspirational.

It was as clear as day on TV too - what do the officials (ref and side line statues) see??

 

[Fainu Brothers]

Doooheeee is a liability., but he will never see that...Hope Bunji can see right through him... is backup depth at best...Can Heath Mason play centre?

I think Centre would suit Heath. Looks like he could play anywhere. Natural footballer

 

[Buttface]

Except FB as he doesn’t like catching the ball on the full.
Centre to replace one of the other imposters is worth a try. I reckon he’d do ok at hooker except the D.
Who’s gunna play FB then?

[Tiger Stripes]

Thinks Sezer is in trouble for his On Reports too.

Which likely means all 3 Fainu brothers to line up against their former club next week 💪

Hope so. Reports on Latu's game yesterday in KOE were very positive.

When I got to the ground an hour before kickoff they told me at the ticket office that general admission was sold out but it looked like there was heaps of room left I’ve seen Campbelltown more packed than that

Why would we expect Souffs supporters to travel when we could take our home games to them at Accor or the SCG? Surprised we have not played at Redfern Oval yet.

 

[Bigscreentv]

We definitely have some talent coming through, but a bit part of our poor defense can be put down to the lack of strength and conditioning in our younger players. They can’t do it for 40mins, let alone 80. That will get better over next couple of years. Some bad reads here and there, but to me it’s mainly due to the boys vs men factor.

Benji can’t fix that in the near future. We basically need to absolutely dominate possession, field position and take our chances to score to have any chance of winning at the moment.

Stef and Ipap can go now as far as I’m concerned.

Had we lost Annusley would give it the green light and tell us that it left the hands backwards only to to drift 10m forward 🙄

 

[Tom Shines]

That's the little things that drive me crazy with this team. The attention to detail just isn't there. If that try got disallowed because he simply didn't ground the ball with no one near him it would have destroyed us.

Later Doeuhi kicks for touch metres in front of the mark, gets pulled back then does the exact same thing AGAIN. There was every chance Sharpe gives the ball back to Souths then. She clearly says kick it on the line, and Doeuhi goes 2 metres past it the second time.

Seyfarth gets penalised late in the game for a head high, now it wasn't worth a penalty, but he had ample time and room to get lower, so run the risk?

These little brain dead things kill me. We invite the officials to screw us over when it's imply isn't necessary.

That being said, the guy who started this rant Staines, I thought had a great game. If we had 17 guys show his commitment we wouldn't be last.

What about the opening kick off ..where Souths did a short kick and our blokes werent ready for it and Souffs get the ball and put them under the pump straight away opening minute

Also the short drop out that Mason let bounce and Souths recovered and went tearing down the field ..

They did two attacking kicks close to the line early in the second half …apparently with Seyfarth as the intended target …Im not the guys biggest fan… but I think anyone would question that he is the guy you want leaping into the air to try to catch a ball above normal head height …

I know there are young players in this team (some.. not all) but so often we see dumb little things like these that can turn a game ,,, Would love to know what they do at training all season year after year … do they practice defending kickoffs and drop outs? Certainly doesn’t appear the case …

They missed forward passes from both sides all night.
The one they did pull up was the most subtle of the lot.
