LIVE GAME Round 5 v Broncos

Live Game Discussion
Broncos have been better team, but the refereeing and touch judges are not first grade standard!! West Tigers haven’t given up at all
I actually think the ref has been ok. I think some of the penalties around high tackles have been soft, but that is in line with what his higher ups have wanted and we were told before the weekend (not in so many words) that this would be the case.
Touchies however have been poor and the forward passes and a blatant knock on are more on them than the ref in my opinion.
Finally, I don't like Klien but I don't think we've anything to complain about from the bunker given they can't over rule forward passes.
 
Galvin a million a season..gee im not so sure, i hoped he would have gone better tonight. He started well but fell away badly i thought
And here it comes the Galvin bandwagon knockers!!

What do.you expect we had no ball in the second half!!

I actually don't think we've played that poorly. We got a bit overwhelmed at stages and have several periods of like 10 minutes where we didn't touch the ball once.

We scored 5 (really 6 if you include Hunt's) tries and only conceded 7. Goalkicking makes the score look a a lot worse than it was, and we've done this missing our starting 7 and then back-up 7 for half the game, along with a few other injuries to our starting 17.

Old Tigers lose this game like 56-10.

First try was a knock on IMO
 
Klein is an abomination in the bunker . He literally has like 7 of the top 10 worst bunker calls ever .
I mean we got too loose in the second half , and that period around half time was brutal for us . The bounce of the ball felt like it wanted nothing to do with us . Not much else can be said .
But the Royce hunt no try was rugby union levels of nitpicking . And the 2 forward passes for tries … yikes.
Still we have to be better , I think if Api and Luai are there at those key moments we wouldn’t have lost our heads.
Put that one in the bin . Not much to take out of that one .
At least we know we can compete with those guys . The scoreline does not reflect much .
