LIVE GAME Round 5 versus Eels

[user118245]

Herbert was phenomenal in cup. Best player on field.

How’d starford go?

Wait till he remembers he missed 2 conversions that would have prob won them the game in the 80. Lol.
Plus all the injuries theyve finished the game with, looks like a very lean next few weeks for princess.

Hope he remedies the situation by doing heaps of goal kicking practice during the week, and TEARS HIS GROIN and IS OUT FOR THE SEASON.

If tackled or held in the air when attempting to take a high ball,fall down pretend an injury ,have the apponent sin binned while you have a rest before returning to the field. Dont tell me we wont see coaches try anything to gain an advantage in this game

What a shame no-one told our guys it was ok to accidentally punch Moses in the face.

A real pity! And in that situation premeditation should be A okay.

Just a fine for api isn’t it?

How’d starford go?

Quiet I thought. Didn’t do much of anything but I can’t remember him being poor. I’d have to rewatch the game to be sure though.

Though Herbert was our best followed by Javon Andrews and Sukkar. Bunty Afoa was solid and Attard had some classy touches but is a year or two off first grade.

Saukuru scored a few but I see him more as a centre or back row option than winger.

On the flipside, I’ve never seen a player whinge at a presser. Plenty of coaches, but not players. That’s until ol Mitch turned up tonight. How can there be anyone more unlikable in the game? Some might say Walsh, but he’s just an arrogant twat at times, but he backs at up. This other cat does nothing, has the media in his pocket and cry’s non stop. Not one single redeeming thing about this little prick.

That was something eh
What a child...hilarious

3 weeks in a row we’ve cursed them for the first 30 minutes, yet they find a way to lead at HT. Unprecedented.

Slow learners

 

[stevied]

He bombed a try but otherwise was outstanding.

Totally agree, especially in defense which is why I mentioned him in the 3, 2, 1.

Luke getting 1 week is a joke

Has a decision already been made

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Our fitness got us home. Very important to win games like this not just for the points but for the belief. Need to be more clinical in attack and start better moving forward.

Up to 2nd on the table Tigers fam, how good is that!!

🐯💪

I think all 4 games this year we’ve come home strong in the first half. A big contributor I feel is our fitness!

 

[gold coast tiger]

We are going to play so much better with toa and may back in the centres, is going to inprove our attack and defence. Macca on the wing is going to free him up. I also really like taruva on the wing but he has done a good job in the centres.
Also how good is our fitness!!! Parramatta players all getting soft tissue injuries and cramps while our boys were still putting in big efforts. This is what wins big games.

 

[Tito Santana]

I reckon if Luke L is out, don’t be surprised if Sukuru debuts on the wing.

Or Herbert comes into left centre and Mak to the wing.

Api facing 2 weeks, Luke 1 week based on match review of the game

Wests Tigers captain Api Koroisau was also charged over a hip drop tackle on fellow Fiji international Kitione Kautoga and faces a $3000 fine as it is his third and subsequent dangerous contact charge

Just a fine for api isn’t it?

Just a fine. 2 weeks if he fights it and losses

 

[TigerJunior4]

Really glad we got the win. In past season we would have been lamenting terrible reffing as the difference but we dug in and showed resilience.

I thought Parra were quite good actually. A lot of intent early on in defence which meant they were winning the field position battle.

I think we should have played more direct and tried to punch holes through the middle third. A few times we started to do that in the back end of the first half and start of the second we made some good ground and metres. Maybe would have played to our strengths a bit more.

The sin-binning was the only reason Eels got back in the game. I didnt think it warranted a sin-bin. I can only hope there’s some consistency for those types of calls for the rest of the season.

On my last note, I absolutely despise Moses. Complete grub and scumbag from his constant milking of penalties to his whinging and sooking. I wish it was 2009 and someone could just go out there and put one on his arrogant chin.

Yep. 1 week. Api a fine

Yes it is vastly improved.
I wonder if these slow starts are due to us not having a true game manager on the park? Someone playing chess rather than checkers…
When the team flicks a switch it goes hard. Same thing happened early last year. We need one of our leaders to be in control of said switch from the get go.
