LIVE GAME Round 9 vs Dragons

[upthetigers]

I don't want to be negative but I reckon we should play our reggie side against Melbourne, we're next to no chance beating them in Melbourne allow the first grade team to rest and reset why risk any players getting injured.

Not sure if I'm reading to much into this but Galvin avoided the bulk of the squad during that 10 minutes of shed footage also didn't walk around the ground. Not sure all is happy families.

Galvin is so overated

Seemed like Luai did the majority of the kicking tonite...i only recall Galvin kicking once...straught out of the Johnny Cronk playbook strainght into the shins of a defender

11 min s into the 2nd ?? , he did a knee crawl as the ref declared held and defenders were peeling off , an bounced to his feet - were there is smoke

And their lock pushed off him.to.score.

Listening to match stuff on fox, 3 or 4 players mentione Melbourne in Melbourne so I think they just got a week ahead if themselves and hopefully nothing more than that

Don't you mean the Brooks playbook?

Weve beaten them a few times home and away at long odds...big ask yeah but you never know

We need the bye round. We are gassed. 8 day turnaround to Melbourne and then 7 to Souths. Not too bad. If we can win (at least) one those games going into the bye week we will be in good shape.

 

[Tom Shines]

That’s the teams third trip to Brisbane in the first nine rounds … weird …

 

[innsaneink]

Don't you mean the Brooks playbook?

Well yeah but
J-Mo came to mind first

thought are attack was the best its looked all season in the first half the second half was horrible though I we only went over are half a handful of times we need to be a lot better if we are even going to challenge the storms next week

It looked that way live at the game. We just make far too many missed tackles and then have to scramble to fix it. That’s going to take its toll as the season rolls on.

I felt his effort off the ball was telling tonight. A number of times he would usually try to contribute in covering up defensive issues from others that tonight he didn't try to do. He looked miserable and nearly in tears in the sheds after the game. I think we have issues with him over the next few weeks. It may just all be getting ti him and as a kid I get that. I'm not attacking him by any means.

I agree. I don’t think we are reading too much into it either. I’ve always questioned his ability as a first grade 5/8 but never as a footballer. His effort is there but he isn’t doing that bit extra that makes him valuable.
He also didn’t seem to chime in with the victory song at the end…he was off to the right barely even mouthing the words from what I saw.

I didnt even notice Klemmer all game except when Galvin passed the ball to him. What a dud he turned out to be later in his career.

Yep, I thought Galvin must have thought he was back at the army camp! Too many mistakes from Gal tonight but what he offers is X Factor by creating uncertainty in the defence. This seemed to work tonight as Luai ran more which may have been unexpected by the STG D.

What's most pleasing is how I thought we played pretty average, and we still managed to get the win

That's what good teams do - win no matter what. What a great two weeks for Wests Tigers

credit were it is due .We played bad but we still hustled and bustled them to play worse for us to win

 

[stephen]

That play from Su’a is going to live in infamy …. What an absolute shocker !

Mavinesque

 

[clontarfkid]

Other learning today is Bud is not the answer..

 

[simonsatiger]

Interesting comments.

From my eye we were by far the better side!!

Really happy with Luia he looked legit tonight!!

 

[Milky]

We so desperately need depth signings, Naden is not the answer at Centre. I can tolerate him on the wing but he shouldn’t play centre again

Benji needs to use the bench better, T. May playing 80 is not sustainable

TDS should have come on when we were up by 16 points, very silly to keep him on the bench til the end of the game.

Bird is ok off the bench because he covers a number of spots but I’d like to see AD train at lock in the off season and replace Bird on the bench when we get a decent centre

I think we will play better against Melbourne, hope Toa is back

Staines keeps his spot for mine if Skelton & Lauilli are still out

We hit the lottery tonight. That 12 point turnaround before half time is the luckiest shit you will ever see. You won't see that happen again for the next 50 years.
