LIVE GAME Round 5 versus Eels

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

knew he was gonna get sent off as soon as it happened
didnt think it deserved it though i mean if there was no injury play on
people on discord was saying it was a profession foul and he was trying to stop him from scoring i think it was just instinct

He lost Parra the game, Blatant off side

Not for the first time, I went off early. I was wrong when I said this is the same useless team of the last 6 years. Their resilience and fitness are miles ahead on past seasons. But the attack is still clunky AF, Doueihi is lionhearted but no 5/8 and our outside backs are hanging on by a thread. Knights and Broncos will be a massive test. If either gets to a 2 try lead, they won't get complacent like the last 3 opponents.

Douehi's injury is 100% hampering him...he is making line breaks because he is going in slow motion into the line and defenders were overshooting him, parra adjusted to it and made him look ordinary. I would not be surprised if he is out injured (rested) once Luai is back. That game got away from us when jr paulo was on the field bending the line and finding his front, and once luke got binned and parra were getting set restarts. Otherwise we were the dominant side by miles. We really need TDM to vary his run speeds, he went into the line a few too many times looking for the offload.

I'd agree with all this. But there was other calls or probably non calls that went our way. I think the Williams lost ball. The ref was right he hadn't called held, but he should have. I thought KPP stripped a ball that was called lost and we scored from that possession. Tavana clearly knocked on, called back and play on lateish in the game. Possession to Eels there potentially would have given them the win. That's just off the top of my head. Sure Eels had a few their way as well, including the most defining one. Just thought we had more favourable decisions then they did.

He dropped the ball cold . He was looking to offload . You’re allowed to playa t the ball in a try scoring situation. It’s nearly always deemed a knock on

If anyone it should be Herbert.

He played much better than Toa but I think, looking forward, it has to be Tiny and Douehi in the centres.

 

[TheEnz]

Ruined their day

And Moses again, lowered himself to showing everyone how he has to carry on like a child to try and sway the results.

Shameful display tbh.

We hurt them.
They'll remember this game.
Nursing their wounds for days after this.

He even whinged after the coin toss for golden point🤣

these are the games we find ways to lose. Well done to the boys. The sin bin was right in front of me and there’s no way that’s anywhere near a sin bin. They were offside all game and slowed the ruck and the ref let them be. Moses what an absolute disgrace you are , ref no handle at all to put up with his rubbish. Luke is a liability and should not be in first grade . Can’t defend if his life depended on it .

A very fair and accurate assessment.

The boys played hard, fast paced footy but admittedly were way short of their best, had 2 tries scored against them when down to 12 on the ground, fell behind on the scoreboard and still managed to fight for a win.

We haven't seen this in ages, Parra threw heaps at our boys and they were really up for this game yet our boys hang in there.

It wasn't like they were playing a second rate outfit, so being critical of the boys that for game would be a tad harsh IMHO.

Don't find excuses or come up with criticisms boys & girls.....let's be just be happy with a gutsy win & have a big Wests Tigers ❤️love in❤️, we haven't had one in a very long time

And they did it after backing up from a huge game across the ditch v the Wahs.

They wouldn't have done that in previous seasons, they kept backing one another this game despite being under the pump.

Are these all answers to just the Williams thing?

KPP at WTs is a different player to the player we watched at the Knights. He had all the potential but needed a coach with a attacking gameplan to unlock it. Well done.

Loving seeing our intensity and impact lift when our bench forwards come on. Can’t say I’ve ever seen that in a Wests Tigers side.

AOB should feel humiliated watching him play the way he is. How could you not see what this guy has. Absolute weapon and looking on par with Gareth Ellis.

wow wow wow . They take us to the next level . Even Seyfarth stepping up !!!!

It’s a funny game, if we had lost today, people would be blowing up how poor we were and we could not even beat an under strength Eels outfit. Now after a win most people are very positive about the effort.

The way I see it, the NRL is such a hard long season you are going to get a couple of games like today and good teams find a way to win them. In the past we would have been no chance, but this team has resilience. For now it’s one week at a time and develop combinations and learn from your mistakes

The carry on after the fact with push and shove with a man clearly very injured certainly didn’t help.

Someone should have pulled Luke in much earlier.

But I think it was the Eels players having a go at him like he some how intended for that to happen. You see those sort of plays all the time, it just ended in an unfortunate way this time.

That decision made the game what it was, otherwise it was in the bag. Could have been costly, and just because we won I don't want us to just take that rubbish.

Sounds like Benji agrees it shouldn't have a been a binning.

Offside by a country mile, should stick to his last name more and be a walker

(Video not working but it’s 4:36 in to see it)

I was at the game and from what I saw live was a great tigers fight back in the first half to go up by 2 at the break.

2nd half we looked like we were rolling them with ease until the send off which to be fair was warranted although just bad luck to the way the eels player landed, if he wasn't injured on the play then it's play on maybe eels 6 again.

We leaked 2 tries and a penalty at the end which was moses being moses, to end the game like that was just not a true indicator of the game.

Lucky the boys fought hard went down their end and earnt a penalty, maybe even softer than Moses milking it.

No matter who you barrack for it's a shame the game can come down to shit calls either way.

Ref has too much control these days

The send off/ sin bin was not warranted. It's a penalty every day of the week, nothing else. Whether Simmonson was injured or not is irrelevant. It completely changed the game and probably robbed us of a chance to win convincingly. It's these sort of inconsistent/ corrupt decisions that are a blight on the game and often seem to hound the Tigers.

HELLYEAH TIGERS....But gee i was 100% on the money when I said Moses will be in the refs ear all day last..what a grub!! even on the golden point coin toss he was complaining.
