LIVE GAME Round 5 vs. Dolphins

[Kaito]

Does anyone else not get excited when Tupou finds space?

I flew his flag the longest, posted clips from union
days we'll miss him, I've been trying to.tell everyone.
He starves on our left edge he's very passive 🙏🏼

 

[Speed2burn]

Snails pace

Literally … put a semi fast winger in his place tonight and we get another 2 meat pies

 

[Twodogs]

We got the shit call when Api caught them offside. Dolphins get the ball and score. Changed the game.

Perplexing decision of it was any other side. But these absurd decisions against us are bog average normal.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Need to bring in Lobb. He was looking good in the trials. Might as well give him a go instead

He has been ordinary in NSW Cup

Where do you think he should play?

 

[Milky]

Dolphins are yet to travel more than 60 mins to play so far this season and had a full 7 days between games. They got us in our third away game on a 5 day turnaround.

Chins up. On to next week.

Absolutely

5 day turn around
Our key playmaker out
Our best player (Api) off the field for a while and playing depleted
Dolphins defence was very strong and so was their attack

Kept them within 10

Can’t winnem all

Onto next week, hopefully we can back it up

Yep, good result considering. I dare say we just about win if Galvin is playing

 

[Wiz]

Need to bring in Lobb. He was looking good in the trials. Might as well give him a go instead

Disagree. I think Lobb is far behind Tupou, Stains and Naden.

 

[jadtiger]

Benji is doing a far better coaching job than i would have expected from him as he is still learning.It certainly helps that the squad seem to share his vision for the club

 

[upthetigers]

We were right in that game after a short turnaround plenty of positives!

 

[Twodogs]

Tupou is slower then me.

Tupou is slower than my mum.

 

[Stevec]

Zero marker defence
Many breaks straight up the middle Papalii had a bad game costs try and bombs try
At least 2nd half was ok .
I think Dolphins are going to make the top 8
Doubtful we will
Ist half schoolboy errors cost the game

 

[king_sirro]

Well at least no one can blame the ref tonight.

You didn't watch? At 14 10 and we have all the momentum then Sutton rules knock on against Api when the marker was shockingly offside right in front of his eyes. They then score 2 tries in 3 minutes instead of us attacking the Dolphins line. That call cost us any chance.

That said we didn't deserve to win, but that one call has to be acknowledged as the biggest turning point in the game and it was a real bad one.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Hardly anycof us expected a win. Days gone by we probably drop our heads and get a score put on us. But we hung in there and got into a position to win twice.

 

[Speed2burn]

Naden in for Tupou next week.

Forgot about naden… speedster aswell

 

[Sco77y]

He has been ordinary in NSW Cup

Oh yeah? Haven’t seen a cup game yet this year. Thats disappointing then

 

[Kaito]

Anyways. Proud of the boys, bit of adversity. Gave
it a red hot crack, papali'i & seyfarth turned it up
something when Bateman & Samuela went off. We
didn't let them in at the end, they deserve some rest

 

[4jtigers]

Benji's time to look at the drawing board and fine tune what we're missing or lacking... good 2nd half though

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Think that's a game we lose by 30 in past years

 

[Eye_of_the_Tiger]

Some positives and negatives in that game.
Last year the score would have got away from us. At least we fought back

We looked a much better team with Bateman off.
Sullivan doesn't add much

Sutton killed any momentum we had but we really kept shooting ourselves in the foot.
