This one is for you, Gus...

I haven’t had to listen to Gus for 12 months thanks to Kayo.

I listen on sports ears at the game and they use ch9 commentary when available.

I thought you listened to me

You dogged me and stayed home lol

We could be up by 50 at half time and I would still be nervous up until 5 mins from ft

The old "we are too far in front too early" fear that only Tigers fans have.

Yeah we got the win but if Gus said that he wasn’t far from the mark. We were up 34-6 with about 18 to go and rather than go on with it gave up a couple of simple tries and looked liked we’d gone home early.

Don’t get me wrong I love a win but would much prefer a team that just goes on with it

We let Sims run a muck (again)

run amok

Tbf to Gus, while the result was never in doubt, the good teams don’t concede 18 points in the second half after keeping the opposition scoreless at half time.

What are you talking about, happens all the time, unless you only Penrith. Everyone else concedes in short periods, it's part of the modern game.

E.g. this week Storm conceded 12 second-half on Thursday to Broncos, of all sides, when up 16-0 at HT. Rd 1 Storm were up 22-6 over Rabbits, won 28-18. Storm Rd 4 30-6 HT over Bulldogs, won 52-18, and at that stage Dogs had only scored 16 points the previous 4 rounds. Rd 7 vs Warriors 26-4 at HT, won 42-20. Now these are all pretty comfortable wins but Storm regularly concede 10-20 points in second half.

Even last night Souths up 20-6 at HT, could have really nailed the result, second half was 18-14, won 38-20. Some Tigers fans are disappointed with a similar performance against Dragons.

Obviously it's not realistic to expect a side like Tigers, how we are currently, to put together 2 complete halves in a single match, when we can't even string wins together yet. But I put it to you that most teams can concede significant amounts of points during momentum swings in the current game, and it doesn't seem to matter whether they were ahead or not, so you want to be some 20+ points ahead, if you can, before the opposition eventually gets some run of possession.

Sims is a dog

You are 100% correct, that guy is a deadset dog but gee he caused us some grief every time he ran.

Don't know if it's my Wests Tigers bias but I thought that just about every time he got the ball the pass was very marginal and how he didn't go on report or do time for the Liddle kneeing incident has got me beat.

Will be very disappointed if the Match Review Committee don't pull him up for that one.

A couple of choice dropped balls from Sims early broke the Dragons attack. He did get himself together in the back half, but when it was too late.

You'll get the hang of English soon, my son.

Kayo is pretty good, but Cooper the Gronk does my head in.
Last night I found that when he starts crapping on I sort of hear his irritating voice but what he says just doesn't register because I just some how turn off.

At one stage I thought about turning on channel 9 instead but then remembered that Gus would probably drive me mad as well.

Cronk is physically painful to listen to. His missus must love it when he's out of the house.

His ability to steer every single conversation about every conceivable subject into a Cooper Cronk appreciation sermon is second to none. The king of self-adulation. Drinking drain cleaner would be a less painful way to die than having that monotone nasally whine bore its way into your inner soul.

If I could only get Ennis and Cronk in a room with me, it would be terrific. Then I'd dive out the window, lock the room and throw away the key.

Don't be selfish though mate, hoik a grenade in there on your way out the window!
