The Problem with the Tigers attack is

Cheekam was unlucky in regards to minutes, the players he was going to replace were playing well in the 2nd half so they stayed on longer than planned.

Warriors will be much harder to handle next week.
 
Brooks looked a little lost.. running one way stopping turning around and running the other..
The chip kick was also poorly executed.

Marshal's no look short balls in the first half were also a poor option considering the weather.

Still not playing the smartest footy but it's only round 1 so hopefully we see some improvement.

I didn't have a problem with that. In the wet, the pass you decide NOT to throw can be the most important.

Farah is still all class. Seems like no matter what happens some people just don’t like the guy and will deathride him. Yes he’s not as fast on his feet these days but the extra kicking option and organisation he brings suited last night perfectly.

Let’s be honest, there’s a reason he’s still getting picked at 35 years old, it’s because we have no other viable option.

Madge dropped Farah at Souths for Cook, if Liddle was good enough right now he’d have done the same here

I agree Farah is holding his own, it is his mate that I have issues with
 
True, unfortunately indecision in Brooks' game isn't isolated to the wet..

He is a confidence player but Still needs to work on these moments, where someone in his position, should be minimising the teams indecision and instead providing direction.
 
Maybe Brooks is the problem !… seems it is always the 5/8 that does not suite him . Time for Brooks to stand up and take control no more excuses times up !
 
I don't think he has been outstanding at all. He was though outstanding yesterday. Benji has been pretty good as well since coming back.
 
I know I'm a little late but boy did Farah prove you wrong when it came round 1\. Overall I think our attack was pretty good even if we couldn't score in the first half because of all the errors we were making. Our forwards were running it hard and making big metres, heck, I even saw Packer and Taylor making good runs. I definitely put this down to Ivan Cleary's rumoured tactic of saving the forwards for defence so we basically have no attack but all defence.
 
Farah has always overcalled Brooks. But he’s also been playing pretty well.

I actually think Farah could play lock in a similar way to Brandon Smith. Bring in Liddle to start and if he needs a breather Robbie goes to DH. Would add an extra attacking threat on the field. ET hasn’t set the world on fire this year and Robbie defends well in the middle and can lay on more points than ET.
 
The coach has to look at the long game … this year nothing can be done . With the turn over of players at seasons end including Farah and Benji there is no reason this will not be corrected for next season .
