Tigers v Raiders live game thread

[flashjay]

They done there usual found a way to lose

 

[happy_tiger]

Doueihi 251m!!

Only Aloiai (102) and Twal (104) ran over the century for our pack although Lucky went close.

Packer 9m according to Fox. Lawrence 40. MCK and Seyfarth under 30m. We simply can’t afford to carry those numbers. They had three blokes over 120...

The games changed Yoss

Lot of teams have those numbers ...getting quick guys out of dummy half is key

They want the forwards to be basically solely concerned with holding the middle together defensively

Much better effort tonight - boys really had a dig.
Anyone who says Madge has lost the sheds doesn’t know footy. They responded to him amazingly.
Here’s the thing - this commitment last week and we get 2 points. Bloody frustrating.
Also, ref did not cost us this game: unforced errors cost us - usual problem
Packer also cost us. Poor lateral movement led to try, 10 minutes in bin and a penalty goal from a head shot. Players should call him out - terrible effort from him.

Need to score more than 6 points to have a chance to win a game, we had our opportunities but just couldn't create anything. AD is growing on me though, I was critical of his signing, I'd like to see a player trailing on his inside as he goes through the line with his footwork.

He was far better ..probably only caught out twice positionally from memory

I'm still not convinced he is a fullback, his positioning really isn't good enough.

I don't think it was a problem tonight at all.

IT might not have been, though he wasn't really challenged in that regard as the Raiders were tackled an awful lot on the last tackle. They really didn't run many kicks into the ingoal. He is ok positionally on longer kicks and general play.

No it wasn’t a problem. I’ll give credit where it’s due and that was his best game. I can see why others like him at fullback. He has a great step as well. Just wish he had more pace. I’d still prefer him at 5/8.

The club has plenty of money to recruit at least three top players into their team and Madge will be making the right choices.

Players like Jennings ?

Douehi is a very reliable fullback. He hasn't played very much first grade at fullback and he has a lot of improvement in him.

If Brooks gets dropped next week I’ll run naked around Leichhardt Oval in the middle of Winter. It’s never gonna happen guys! Nothing is ever his fault, despite having the number 7 on his back. He is accountable to no one.

Can't see Madge chopping and changing the halves every week.

Expect to see the same halves pairing for at least another week.

 

[hobbo1]

Hang tough peeps
We’re still 9th 😂

He has excellent footwork at line

I like Luke Brooks. I think he gets a bit of a tough run from a lot of people. But he had two touches in the final 90 seconds. Got smashed running sideways from the scrum and then drops a perfectly fine pass.
Reasonable effort overall. A run of late penalties and tackle restarts don’t make up for us being dudded the other 75 minutes. Penalties were 4-10 up til then, tackle restarts 3-5. In a 50/50 possession game they’re tough stats to swallow.


Come on Yoss that pass was puss, he jumped and it was still high.

How many halves in the comp catch that with a minute to go and needing a play? It’s not like he was a metre away. Okay maybe it wasn’t room service but come on, you’ve gotta do better than that when you’re the number #1 playmaker.

 

[Snake]

What really pisses me off is the constant dud calls we get compared to favoured teams. Earlier today Cameron Smith passed off the ground - 50/50 at best. But because it was Smith it’s play on. Roll into our game and we get slammed when it was a legitimate pass. It’s not cheating but it is perhaps subconscious favouritism towards stronger clubs and elite players. We get the bad rub so often

That’s footy been happening for like forever .. it’s just the way it is.. When the Tigers become a top 4 side they will get the rub of the green as well.

 

[Newtown]

Let's get credit where it's due. Paying a grand final team Wests Tigers only need two or three players to replace the expensive dead wood and we would be side to be reckoned with,

But only if we play like that every week

I think we will.

Agreed but the service should be better

No excuse for dropping that, or the one earlier from Lucy, he looked unco dropping that one.

This is my point ! Enough is enough .

It has but it’s still a game where you need forwards with decent numbers. We had 4 blokes with 40m or less. They had none. Whitehead was their worst and he still had 43m.

 

[Snake]

Great effort from the team against more fancied opposition and some refereeing that we have no control over. Disapointed by the result but not in the team.

These players are playing the best they can all credit ! Unfortunately it is just not good enough , there are a lot coming off contract this season I would not resign any of them !

Reynolds gets a B+ from me. He did pretty well.

Which would be great if he was 22 and on 250k.
