LIVE GAME Round 25 vs Roosters

V

this half shows what a proper 7 can do to the backline
AD is not a 7 he is a centre or a 13

Tigers should go and buy Volkman and he can fight out the 7 with latu fainu and madden

Volkman at 7, Latu at 6. Could be good with Javon polishing his defense in Cup.

 

[Stevec]

Douehi not only better goal kicker but does 50 m 5th tackle kicks vs Madden
about 25 m .Whats wrong with him ?

 

[orange&black]

Madden is not timing his 5th tackle kicking well at all. The way he strikes the ball is poor.
Sione’s form has dropped off a cliff and Pole needs to make every run count and keep pumping for pcms (as does May).
Just a general comment- We play so much slower than every other team - just clunky and predictable. In D our marker defense is appalling.

 

[Wezt]

Api is slowing down quickly

 

[Lestronge]

Maddens lack of power in kicking is a massive deterrent for me at nrl level . He simply cannot drop the ball in the box , not just consistently but at all . He doesn’t have the leg strength .

 

[stevied]

I genuinely think Andruws and Latu as a unit , especially with Andruws ability to get the ball to his edges will lead to way more points . No hero ball. Just passes at the ad line with guys hitting at speed .
Luai’s gooses step to no one , just kills the attacking momentum . Run at speed , straighten at the last second take out the opposing second rower who’s no doubt trying to smash you and get some tries up .
He’s in body conservation mode IMO.
Next year at the eels . Their fans are gonna loose it.

I'm so over the idiotic goose step! Doesn't he realise what a goose he looks like?

Sione improved so much last year. Big disappointment this season.

Herbert , Skelton, Seyfarth , Sukkar , May , going good ,
Madden needs to give kicking to API .
Madden needs to bomb deeper and kick them higher to give us a bit of time .
Madden taken out in the air ona kick , nothing from ref , ??
Need to come out swinging second half keep up on he in D
Kick deep turn them around and don’t do short drop outs , they just invite trouble for us , they may work for other teams but not us , don’t give them the ball anywhere near our end

And don't forget the offering to the footy gods... ;-)

AD is not and never will be a half back THAT is what is wrong with him.

Why Latu Fainu?
He isn’t a 7’s backside either. The bloke is a running 6.

 

[Zach]

There's no doubt though that as much as we all agree Madden isn't the answer at 7, we certainly wouldn't have scored those tries with Douehi there...and thats a problem we arent accepting (coach Benji).

 

[Stevec]

I can understand the 2 misses from the sideline but the other was very kickable.

Also Sukkar had no one near him so why the crazy dive ,just run over line and improve position given how bad Madden is kicking

 

[You Know Who]

Api shouldn’t be playing more than 50 minutes a game next season. Noticeable decline in his game which is only going to get worse and needs to be managed closely next year

 

[krissy]

Got to love Fox commentary, if the Tigers score more points they will be back on the lead. Profound.

 

[You Know Who]

Madden game management is good, especially for a back up but his long kicking is some of the worst I’ve seen.

A stiff breeze could carry the ball further.

 

[Finger]

Api is slowing down quickly

It’s noticeable today

 

[You Know Who]

Leniu would be perfect for us. Very aggressive, fast PTB and can play decent minutes

 

[Wezt]

Leniu is the best forward on the field

 

[You Know Who]

Can’t fault the 20/40 option by Api there, we were going no where and it was close
