LIVE GAME Round 5 vs. Dolphins

[Tito Santana]

If you think our current wingers are slow, wait till you see Lobb. Also made some poor defensive reads in Cup lately. He needs to improve defensively because outside of goal kicking and aerial ability, he doesn't offer too much unfortunately.

No to Lobb.

 

[Kaito]

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

Concrete 👢 lmao

I’ve been critical of Staines but I think he’s having a crack. I can’t think of anyone in the squad I would play in front of him on the wing.

Agree but the position needs upgrading. As does 3. Sounds like Richo knows it.

Poor refereeing is a given, unfortunately.
It's our fault when we miss tackles, don't number up, or get to dummy half.
Still got a mountain to climb to be a top 8 side.
Disappointed in some of our senior guys like Klem & Papalii, Twal. They're output is ok but not getting leadership when we're under pressure. Compare them to Sezer & Olam who've played 3 games for us. Both those guys leading by their actions but they're always talking & organising.

Sullivan pushing Fainu will do me.

That’s enough for me to cut him from the squad. What a knob.

What happened?

 

[Tiger_heart]

I can see Bateman and Sullivan featuring in many threads...

Sutton always gives the Queensland teams the upper hand in all games

Maybe he should also give himself an uppercut..or two..

 

[Garrry]

SUTTON Man of the match

 

[Wiz]

breaks the 1st tackle 7/10 that's why Ur a wrestling fan

I agree with this. Tupou is one of our two best wingers. He makes good carries out of our end. But I am glad we didn’t match the $500k or the $550k the Dolphins have paid. It was good business to let him walk.

 

[Speed2burn]

Yeah he can move. Deceptive. Must be the lines.

Beats being on the bongs like Junior Tupou

 

[Kaito]

What happened?

He was trying to fire him up, nobody got pushed

I missed this, what happened?

 

[TYGA]

The team played well on a 5 day turnaround. Different game in 8 days at home against Dragons. They are physical not fast like dolphins. We will bounce back plenty of fight in this team.

 

[Demps]

What happened?

Sullivan gave Latu a push and looked to be mouthing off.

It was on screen for about two seconds.
Looked a bit out of line.

I can cop the effort tonight. Showed things we havent shown consistently in years. Lots to build on throughout the year

 

[TigerNeddyK]

OMG 😳🥺☹️ this team tonight was so disappointing .. just the lack of support play and the stunningly stupid options and shirking of responsibility was heartbreaking.. ❤️‍🩹 truly, Sullivan needs to assert himself , not continue to stand back ad if he has a big play organised when he does not. bula throwing a crash ball to papalii on the last tackle when we had a massive overlap on the left epitomised everything that was wrong about tonight.. for gods sake will the coaching team teach Tupou how to hold the ball when he is being tackled and please please tell TWAL to be more aggressive in the tackle… he plays it like oztag.. throw them on the ground Alex mate… they need to fear the tackle so it discourages the offload…. Effort was the problem tonight… they didnt really turn up

 

[Demps]

He was trying to fire him up, nobody got pushed

Nah, he gave him a push

 

[TigerNeddyK]

We play touch defence

Exactly 👍 I had hopes we were done with this but sadly not

You usually have good takes bro. If we let the ball
go to the left as much as the right we'd score more
(Would like to see the stats on L/R in the red zone)

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

The sooner we send him back to the UK and spend his money on someone decent, the better off we will be.

If Wayno comes this way maybe Sua follows and Bateman moves on. That would be an instant upgrade.

 

[tigers.]

My opinion, drop Tupou too slow no energy. Bring Naden on the wing. I've seen enough of Sullivan in defence, start Latu fainu who I thought was good in D, Simpkins or TDS on the bench. Other than that I thought it was good fight in the 2nd half, hate blaming the ref but that changed the momentum the call against Api . Galvin straight back into 5/8 in 2 weeks .
