Tigers v Raiders live game thread

[JD Tiger]

We as a team get most of the 50-50 calls go against us more times than not, it's definitely not even.

Madge should definitely go off in the press about that. Worth a fine, who cares if they fine us, we might get a more fair deal in the future.

That aside, we lost because of poor decisions giving the possession away. Packer, blew his final chance. And Brooks, really I'd sign Sezer like the rumours say.

That’s the problem with this 6 again BS , instead of us getting a penalty we drop it next pass where is our advantage ?

Don't drop it then.

Hook Brooks

6 Reynolds
7 Marshall

If the coach is serious Brooks should be dropped , you have to have a 1/2 that creates something not just catch / pass and kick . Anyway another season of no finals footy .. if you want to succeed you have to make the hard choices !

Exactly....I’m just waiting for the Brooks fanciers to put up some stats ?

 

[avocadoontoast]

We didn't have enough attack in us tonight, defense was strong but I don't think there are enough points in Brooks and Reynolds to play them together.

Agree. With the exception of AD we never looked like doing much in attack. Benji needs to be there, we score a lot more points with him

 

[Spacecub]

I don't usually bag referees, but I have a higher opinion of George Pell than this bloke

Lawrence and Brooks need a rest next week.

 

[Wagga_Tiger]

A wonderful pass from Grant

Problem is he only did 2 of those, he didn't kick.

(Wasn't too flash at catching either.)

Agreed. Garner back in and MCK looked alright.

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

Haha. Because we can’t catch!

Shouldn’t come to that if we are 1 point down with 1 second to go why can’t we get a penalty and kick for goal ?

 

[voice_of_reason]

Disappointed with the result (and the refereeing) but overall pleased with the effort. I think the turning point was the dropped ball that was awarded a penalty against us.
I'm sure when it's brought up with the referee's boss they will simply say "you could have challenged it". It gives the refs a safety net for a poor decision. It actually demonstrates the ref gave the decision without seeing what happened because it was obvious there were no hands anywhere near it.

 

[Snake]

Based on Madge’s thinking from last week, Brook’s should be dropped next week.

Now you see if the cultural change is real or just talk ! I will go for the latter ..

 

[hobbo1]

that will do me for the night

Get your p’s and you’ll be free to do skids instead of watching this crap 😂

 

[Wombat]

Now Brooks wants to play when the game is over

Have you not been watching the game?

Actually Brooks has done nothing again !

Well we would be 14-0 without him?

Anyone could have scored that try, it was an opportunistic try

ha ha - Ok then, glad he took his opportunity to beat Curtis Scott to the line, I'm glad you wear your bias on your sleeve though (Just like a certain ref tonight)

 

[hodgo]

So so so proud they guts it hard. I dont usually whinge about officiating but that was horrendous.

It was discussed that Benji always causes trouble for the Raiders' defence. The bloke who replaced him is one of our highest paid players.

Because that is not the rule

 

[JC99]

Better effort but not good enough. Too many errors and dumb penalties. Raiders probably should’ve won by 30 we were camped on our own goal line all game. Barely got in the raiders 20 all game

 

[BalmainJnr]

We put in tonight. The last two games sum us up really. Don’t show up one week. Then try our guts out the next but without executing 100% and we get punished for our errors and don’t have the game breaking ability to overcome that or put sides away. The refereeing was appalling though tonight. Was good to see Packer one last time as well.
