LIVE GAME Round 7 vs Eels

[4jtigers]

I was at the game... good atmosphere! The ref was blah but he's not the reason why we lost. AD is not a 7 so we need one soon. Anyway, I thought we will mount a comeback but not to be. It's good to see lots of young ones supporting the Tigers. Good night but would've been better if we managed to jag a win. 26K in attendance.

Forget the Galvin stuff and the putrid refereeing.
This loss is squarely on the shoulders of Richo and the WT management taking another home game into Parra’s backyard and telling us to like it.

We've already beat Parra at Parra this convincingly this season, I don't think that's the issue here.

Galvin being dropped & the return for Parra of Moses (plus some questionable refereeing decisions) are the reason we lost today. Doueihi at half should be a big no no from now on. It would have been better to keep him in the centres with Naden on the wing. Lack of depth is starting to show, especially in the halves.

Geez following this team tests your health.

What health?

This mob have turned me into a broken down wreck.

It's funny Luai told Benji if he was at the club last year we would have avoided the spoon

Yet with him here and a much better team on paper we are going looking likely for a 4th spoon in a row after losing to a pathetic eels team

Hi tigers

At your best again LOL

Worst thing about this result is having to hear the media claim Galvin was missed.

He wouldn't have changed that game today.

I know AD wasn't great, but he was the last game he played in the halves. Give him one more go, wait it out till Latu is fit.

That hits the nail on the head and also the pack needed 2 Royce Hunt type forwards today, we aren't big enough.

Been the problem all year - even with Royce.
This club has disrespected the importance of the bench for the best part of 20 years - maybe every year outside Potters 2.
Lost count of how many times I’ve looked at our bench over the years and just think - there’s just nothing there!!

 

[Strider]

I think Tigers wins this game if Addo Carr didn't play. What a game he had. Tigers played decently.

 

[hank37w]

We would play at a brothel in Kazakhstan at 2am on a Tuesday for some filthy lucre. Success on the field begets financial success, but our administration prioritises short term financial gain above all else.

This mob would struggle to score in that brothel.

I wish I shared your confidence -even Moses playing at 50% is still a threat. I’m concerned about our centres and skeletons replacement on the Wing today. go the Tigers

100%. Mentally weak is accurate.. they have been for 13 years. I believed that Luai, Api and Turuva, who are mentally tough from success in great systems could have helped change the culture. Maybe it will come but could take some time... Or will it

hope you’re right -we have have an inexperience coach and a side. that’s won three wooden spoons- were a long way from being a mentally tough grind out a win team -haven’t watched the game today though.
Sounds like they were mentally in the wrong
headspace-and I’ll disciplined.
Very disappointing. I’ve been a supporter since the 1960s. It would just be wonderful if we could have some success!!

Eels have won 1 game all year!!
We’ve had a cruisy draw until now, we need to be more than better

They're helping, but need a few more like them to effect change.

 

[hank37w]

What a great week from Turuva.
Thanks ya bonehead.

Whadda ya mean, Benji said he's a leader.

 

[loklok]

All this happens because we are a soft club. When can you ever remember tigers coach having a rip at refs. Never they are too worried about losing some money. For fk sake start a go fund me page your soft prks

What for u and Galvin?

 

[hanging in]

We were simply outplayed. Lack of any real game plan is a concern.

That intercept omg that was a decisive play

 

[Tigerdave]

The amount of numpties on social media going on about Galvin is painful another reason why this loss sucks.

The kid was pretty hopeless in the lower grade, so not too sure how he would have made any positive difference.

In the trials…
Fair chance he’s also done plenty of training in the halves - and most of his career.

Truth is his best football in forever has been playing beside Luai at centre - even today he made some poor defence reads.
Put him back to centre!!

There’s options for the halves - but there might be some growing up need doing from multiple parties before that.

 

[hank37w]

and moses just came back from a injury would of thought one of the things Benji said to the forwards in this game was to smash moses

Didn't you read the press this week? Apparently Benji can't coach, or so they say.

 

[batboy]

Whadda ya mean, Benji said he's a leader.

He also said he’ll give coaching a crack…

Why was Sukkar not even used? The game was frantic and we had one prop on the bench used with a tiny bench

Yeah the NRL stats said we only made 6 interchanges which I thought was odd
