LIVE GAME Round 7 versus Brisbane

[TV Ted Ellery]

This game was a reality check. While we should finish close to the 8, enthusiasm will only get us so far. We lack the talent and polish to be a title contender.

Another take away is that we need a game manager. Jock Madden may be Best n Less Adam Reynolds but he's a damn sight better than Doueihi or Luai.

 

[Finger]

Luai was complete rubbish, definitely no excuses for him. Did he even take on the line once today??

👏🏻

 

[Tom Shines]

Luke L to left wing for me

Great 😂

hahaha high levels of cope in here

A frustrating game, no doubt. You gotta win these ones when you have so much possession, just like Souths.

That was an Adam Reynolds masterclass. That was a champion team showing why they're champions. Composure and execution.

The pressure is gonna be applied to Luai and it should. That is not leadership, especially with Makasini, nor organisation in attack. I'd be filthy if I were the forward pack.

My saving grace is that we are a work in progress and have come so far from this time last season defensively. Our attack now needs to be better. We have lost 2 games by a combined 3 points.

Makasini is 18 and very good for his age. But games like tonight are why so few 18 year olds play NRL and why teams that play those guys don't win much. Tbh there's a strong argument he's been better than Jeral and Luke L.

I am apart of this cope, ignore all messages from 9pm onwards I send in here

Weakened? Mate we were full strength. Our forwards were good as usual. The 1-7 need to ask questions. Couldn't believe when Bula got that ball 3 m out and tried to run around I stead of staying on the ground. Rookie error.

It was a stupid decision. Same with his decision to pass to Maka when he dropped it. Bula passed way too late.

 

[Betterdays22]

Just effed our season there folks. So much rubbish in the media and we cooked it. Good luck against the raiders

Rubbish

 

[stephen]

Well Madden has to be the 7. Terrell May overplaying his hand and slowing the play down when we have the ball.

Getting too cute at times. He looks much better when running direct & looking to offload if the chance comes.

 

[Lestronge]

I hate losing more than most … but this thread is [This word has been automatically removed]ing embarrassing to read .
The first half was yuck to read , and the carry on right now … mam and Reynolds executed at key points in the game . So did our guys . We had a winger drop the ball , then get in his head , drop it again , lose focus in defence which leads to a line break and give away a crazy penalty . That was the difference . Our 18yo winger couldn’t shrug off his mistake . We dominated field position, and often the final pass went to ground . I thought we looked real dangerous when AD went to centre and madden came on . But I also thought the same when Latu came on . Shit happens . We play like that we kill the raiders .

Yeah the forward pack are great. Makasini needs to be dropped because he is young and he needs to learn to fend with his right arm when he gets on the outside. His positioning for that Reynolds kick was terrible. Bula should of called him back a it.

lol no mate. He’s no good either.

Tavana 100%

They are going ok,,,Out of 6 games they have lost 2 by 4 points and 1 pt ..most other teams are getting 40 put on them every second week…

Having said that …Luai concerns me …not exactly value for money

 

[Yossarian]

I've supported Luai all this time, despite a lack of on field impact, but tonight he was invisible.

Yeah I’m in the same boat. 10 runs 45m tonight. No line breaks, no try assists.

 

[TYGA]

2 Reynolds plays beat us tonight, having said that our team kept going for 80 minutes, too many errors!!

That was the game. I was proud of the effort tbh. We ding make errors we win this game.

Campbelltown Stadium is going off as usual tonight:

 

[Tucker]

Not Tigers of old .. they lost to a very good team by 1 pt

That was not a “very good” Broncos team.
They did play well though and they have clutch players…it’s something we severely lack.
We had all the run, most of the rub of the green…they had a weakened side that lost more during the game.
That’s a poor loss.

 

[SeanT]

Broncos winning at Campbeltown again. Next time they will be full strength. Jeez that was the time to beat them.

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

Ah the optimists … we just lost to a reserve grade team at full strength. This forum deserves optimism but it is way WAY overhyped

 

[Tim Sheens]

benji tried to change what was not broken.
a bit unlucky today with makasini dropped balls

jock to 7
luai to 6
AD to centre

Which is where he ended up eventually anyway. Sadly, it was the obvious decision for weeks, as was the need to shift Doueihi or Turuva to fullback with Madden replacing the injured Bula this evening.

 

[upthetigers]

lol no mate. He’s no good either.

Got a mistake in him but I think he's a first grader

 

[simonsatiger]

We lost cos the kid on the wing couldnt catch a cold
