LIVE GAME Round 8 v Raiders

Live Game Discussion
Yes, went off for cat 2 HIA and failed test.
Looked fine on the bench. Was laughing and joking + jumping with the boys.
With 10 day turn around if no symptoms in next 24hrs he could be right for game against Sharks.
I was thinking the same thing, I think other teams have asked for there players to be given extensions when they have got close to the 14 day mandate
 
They are just a completely different team… they haven’t given up more than 22 pts in a game … I have never seen a Wests Tigers team defend like this

In attack… they are out gaining the opposition in metres gained per set each week which again is pretty uncharted territory…
These stats are next level TS, we’re on the up!!💯🐯
 
I think it’s a cool, unique thing. Great for their fans and players. What have we got?

A few wins and our fans are getting cocky. Not sure I’m a fan of that. Nothing worse than a fan who’s full of yap. Dragons and Manly fans are the worse when they are winning.
Whose cocky? Seeing a lot of this on Twitter from opposition supporters that just because we’ve got something to cheer about for the first time in well over a decade that we are being cocky. Might as well just not show any emotion at all.
 
The one concerning issue from last night (and the Parra game) was our inability to overcome a 12 man defence when a player is sinbinned. In both games we looked like WT circa 2022. No cohesion, effort or commitment.
Our defence structure this year has been very Penrith. Fast and physical. Is that we are so rehearsed, that when we lose a man we can’t seem to adjust? It’s something that we need to learn to do as players will get binned and we cannot afford to let in two tries per winning.
With the current pace of the game all teams are struggling with 12. We need to get better for sure in two areas. Discipline and our 12 man defence. Having said that the first try was simply coming back against the grain to a defence that was overcommitted to teh shift. This was probably because this is where we were burnt by Parra. The second had nothing to do with 12 men, it was poor first contact from AD if I recall.
 
Gone back through the game and jebus Sammy F has to be the best bloke to play with. He is definitely turning into our enforcer, trenches type of guy love to see it
