Tigers v Roosters live game thread

[TigerSJ]

We all knew this would be tough. Some of the comments are disgraceful.

Oh please. We are playing a second string side. We are missing what, Grant and Musgrove?

If you truly believe that I really do feel sorry for you.

Same in reverse champion. They are missing a plethora of first choice players and we are still down by four converted tries...

That is the reality of our situation. We are simply not good enough. That was obvious prior to the start of the year.

We should get close to beating a depleted side though

I don't blame Maguire. We are not good enough. I am satisfied the Club. is doing everything it can to improve our roster for next year.

They were well down on troops. We should have been able to compete


May be down on troops but there pack is still better than ours


Their pack smashed ours - I’d love to see the run metres- anyone know them?

1775 them
1580 us

Sorry Hobbo- meant the individual run metres of their pack and ours

 

[bigsiro]

Douehi was terrific

 

[hobbo1]

AD 226m, 94m post contact, 7 tackle breaks. Our best by a mile.

Without doubt.

And a shout out to Russell Packer. Showed great leadership in his 15m in attack.

3 runs
15 meters
18 tackles
4 missed tackles
24 mins

Awesome for a starting prop

But we lift at Leichhardt.... roflmao

It’s the biggest myth in the NRL. Our record at Leichhardt is not that good the last few years.

Deadset myth, like our side, worst halves in the NRL, our attack wasn’t even CC standard, same as the defence.
No biggy the usual suspects will get dropped, while the real losers play again next week, Madge is losing my respect by the week


Lets face it he realizes that what he has is not 1st grade standard, we have the worst half's combination in the NRL, he has to also play them as there are no better options. For myself he has an opportunity at the end of the season to move on some players question is who will take them?

Brooks is a fine player. It is a tough year for him but he will be back for WTs.

He’s trash and we’ve got the trash until 2023 ...

Needs to be told to find a new club or profession

Mybe wouldn't pass it to him.

Terrible from Mbye. Just waiting for NRL to publish their decoy metres. Thinking they’ll be HUGE.

I covered more ground going to the fridge during the game.

Panthers Next week - Who is watching lol
Benji nothing kick again
Commentators state hard run home but can still make it.

They need to try and do something to get people to watch the game:joy:

I won't be watching mate, play like this tonight and it will be another newcastle game...

They are total meters for each pack
If you want individual meters for each player it’s on the league live app ?

 

[ATown]

Doueihi absolutely immense tonight. Shining light in a rough night. He’s always been safe and solid but this is the first time I’ve been genuinely excited about his future with us.

Had a great game at fullback but I see his long term future in the centres. That line he ran off Benji was all class and he made it look easy. With his size, skill and smarts he has the potential to be an elite centre. Put a speedy winger outside him and that is deadly.

So we can get within Cooee of Penrith and Parra, but face a second string Easts team and get owned.

Not sure what it is you're selling but I ain't buying it.

I wouldn't call the chicken's side second string... the only one missing is Keary... please do correct me if I'm wrong... it still is a pretty good side... we are just poor tonight

Keary
Aubusson
Radley
Verrills
Crichton
Tupou
Cordner
Lam

All of those guys if fit would have played tonight.

Ha, that made me laugh. I've covered about 80m tonight. No decoys though.

Is this Brooks' official excuse for 2020? Hopefully his 2021 excuse will not be our problem.

Doesn’t count unless you include the decoys mate. More important than actual run metres

I knew we overachieved in those games.

I don't mind. Talau making those errors, he is learning. Next year he will come back a much more complete player.

I agree with you on Talau. One swallow doesn't make a summer. Talau has been pretty good for a rookie season.

He's a fine player. Move him on to another club and he'd be a fine player for that club. This should tell you all you need to know.

The Mrs was a decoy when i went to the fridge each time.
Told her no shoulder charges allowed anymore but she does not miss many tackles....

Just watched Madge in the presser. Didn't unload on anyone but admits the club has a lot of work to do (well duh!). Halves did some good things and some bad things, forwards didn't lay a platform and we got rolled through the middle far too easy which allowed the Roosters to score some soft tries.

Said the players are disappointed, (they may train hard but they leave their heads at home). Grant due back next week. Not much else to add.
