LIVE GAME Round 3 versus Souths

[Mighty_Tiger]

From the outset we’ve been running harder and tackling stronger. The early issues were due to errors and poor discipline. If we can stay disciplined we should be ok.

Also when gray went off the bunnies edges fell apart after changes to their left and right. Looks like he’s passed his HIA so it might be a bit tougher to score from here.

Should be a good second half.

Holding the ball is key & use our backrowers.

We also need to watch how we cram up defending on the edges - we could’ve been 20pts down easily if Souths took their chances.

The combo of Twal, Hunt and Sione changed momentum up the middle I thought as well.

Smart kicking also against the Bunnies team as they are normally lazy at the back.

 

[ShanghaiCharlie]

We were putrid but still in it!

 

[Tucker]

Just listening intermidently at work, should Mitchell have been sent?

It was deliberate, disguised as trying to knock the ball out.
Certainly should have been 10 minutes at minimum.

Wasn't too upset at 12 0 because the forwards looked like they were holding the middle. Was disappointed in the cohesion in our attack up to about the 30th minute.

Sione, Twal and Royce all playing well and have been the difference.

Sione state of O
He is a beast

$9.3B in nsw lost to them last year

And it's the people who can least afford it that is losing the money.

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

The dirtiest player in the NRL gave us the halftime lead. But geez, that was a great, resilient recovery, folks. Our halves aren't working as effectively this week - 8 sets on their line with no result is ordinary. But as Douehi indicated, they drained the Bunnies' energy. Must keep Trell and Jai quiet next 40.

 

[GCfan]

Luai looked offside
Also ball hit Wighton leg infront of the winger

Who cares will take it - we get a huge potential game changer call finally.


BTW how good is it 2 games in a row we score in the dreaded 5min period!!!

That’s an excellent point, we’re normally a special to concede in that period. Maybe there is a chance in this side

I’d have put Latrell in the bin, foul play. Ref tonight average at best!!! We got the 8 point try though

100% - We are playing till the end of each period

 

[Blaze]

Agree. It wasn’t that bad. He was going for the ball but just clipped Masi on the eye

Unfortunately his hands were a foot away from his face lol

Gosh we used to be cursed hey always conceding a try before halftime.

 

[Tooff-less Cat]

Started that half off defending really well, had souths in there 40 for first 2 sets. Then we give the penalty for being infront of the kicker which gave souths a massive leg up and exposed our left edge defense

We we actually lucky that souths put alot of ball on the ground because if they kept possession then this score would have been ugly

Rolled the dice at the end of the half and it payed off well

 

[Tiger_heart]

I am still concerned that our edge defense isn't up to it. I hope they sort out whatever the (perennial) problem is!

 

[Spartan117]

Loved the TIGERS chant at the ground

 

[Blaze]

It want that bad, but there was no way he was going for the ball… it was a foot away from the ball… latrell doing latrell things… about time the “superstar” got pulled up

Rode home to a win on the enthusiasm of the crowd - yet we all watched the replay and the audio was doctored

 

[Tim Sheens]

Should have been a penalty on the kick return. They rolled Hunt onto his back as he tried to get up and play the ball.

 

[Tucker]

Nah wasn’t that bad.
Penalty everyday of the week.

People always give Mitchell the benefit of the doubt.
He did that deliberately and was nowhere near the ball
