LIVE GAME Round 9 vs Dragons

[pawsandclaws1]

Luai took control of the kicking on the 5th and his kicks placed the Dragons under enormous pressure. Our chasers competed for the ball which caught Gutherson by surprise. You can see the impact of the former Panthers' players on our play. All our players appear to be learning from this and if I was in Galvin's position, I'd be soaking up Luai's knowledge.

Live Takeaways from the Game:

Best from Lulia – Outstanding off-the-ball work. His role in setting up that last try—dragging Bula and Galvin into a short-side block play—was sharp footy IQ.

Staines stood up – Easily his best outing in a Tigers jersey. Busy, direct, and reliable.

Naden off the mark – Sloppy reads and poor execution. Not his night.

Biggest red flag – Full-time team huddle, everyone there... except Galvin. Speaks volumes.

Bullshit
Another weidler wannabe?
They were doing the prayer thing....I counted them there were about 8 or 9 so 8 or so werent there

Did anyone not expect Liddle to score 2 against us?

We moan about not having had a decent hooker since Robbie but this week (if Manly had played) there would've been 4 ex Wests players playing hooker in the NRL. Marshall King, Dockar-Clay, Liddle and Simpkin.

Yeah that was a Christian prayer circle.

Look at the current rosters to how many ex west tigers are currently running around.

 

[weststigerman]

so me saying "when he is fit" meant not fit for 80 minutes???

How many times has he lasted 80 minutes in first grade when he was deemed “fit to play”?

 

[mikey]

Doesn't Luciano go up a gear against us.... man he must really hate the club. He runs at us like there's a KFC at the tryline and he's worried his brother is going to clean them out

He is starting to look like one of the Colonel's drumsticks

100%. This isn't small town America where players are expected to join the post-match prayer huddle. Galvin's decision to stay out is no indication of a rift with the rest of the playing group.

I think Flanagan likes his players huge. Klemmer has put on bulk since he left as well.

Benjis press conference very much summed up what i thought of how we played last night, I got a laugh out of his final words walking off. That game was set up for what should have been a Big win with a good margin in the second half at half time. They must learn to go on with the job and not clock off, or next week's game is going to be a deadset flogging and a huge embarrassment to the club.

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.

Galvin creates too much uncertainty in our defence as well. He is great in attack but a long way from that in defence. His mind is strong, but his body is not. After last week and tonights game we should look to hide him a little better. Like Parra do for Moses. Moses barely participates in parra's defence and has not for years.
Storm and the Roosters will have a field day with their big players.

All worse than what we have. What’s your point again?

Stick it where you want buddy. Don't carry on like a hero.

I was sitting on 50 mtr mark. It wasn't one of those shared team prayers. It was all the tigers players.

He was the only one not with the test of the team.

Not sure i have heard any one moan about our options at 9 for a long time

LOL...righto danny

One positive is our red zone attack in the first half especially looked much improved. Nice set plays to set up Staines and Turuva.

We are slowly figuring out how we want to play. Shift the footy early and offload as much as possible. Just need to take advantage of those offloads more

Every one of the players in the circle are professed Christians. It was a prayer circle

They are definitely making Galvin less of the attacking focal point. Smart move…the team looked fluid on many backline moves without too much influence of Galvin.

 

[king_sirro]

You and others reading too much into body language with galvin...maybe hes been advised not to interact with fans....maybe, just maybe as most here are saying...he wasnt happy with his own game.
The grub journos have made a lot of.people look for thing that arent there because thats all they write

I don't disagree with you here and take your point. Just on my comment, it was directly in relation to the footage of Galvin slumped in the sheds with some guy counselling him. Obviously we don't know what was being said or what was going on, but he looked terrible

We've come out ahead in terms of our options at 9.
Having said that, I've always been a fan of Lids and happy to see him doing well. Shame it didn't work out here but that's life.
