Tigers v Roosters live game thread

[avocadoontoast]

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

It could have been worse,he could have played for longer

True, the one ray of light in an otherwise dark evening.

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

He’s rubbish ...
I can’t believe he has fans ?
Bring on the neg reps you keyboard hero’s

Speak up brooks fan boys !

What are your thoughts on Doueihi Hobbo?

 

[ATown]

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.

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.

And yet they still started $1.30 favourites. Salary cap is doing a good job huh.

About time this 3rd party garbage gets some clarification and transparency. From what I can see the cap is totally irrelevant. All the figures should be public knowledge and the new way to look at teams is cap + 3rd party’s. Then we’ll see how even and fair this comp is.

In a year's time, after we unleash our array of young talent the biggest challenge will be to fend off predatory clubs.

 

[hugggarz]

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

Interestingly, our starting pack and bench made 100 more metres than the chooks equivalent.

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.

Agree, and best wishes to him. He stagnated with us and is now quickly regressing, time for a change of scenery.

What do you see in him that the majority don’t ?
He’s supposed to be a pro ..
Being paid money that most of us can only dream of earning ..
And he’s crap at his job !

He'll be back you say .. one good game every three years doesn’t cut it !

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.

I like the way Brooks ran it tonight and he was close to breaking the line a number of times. If he had of made a break no one would be bagging him.

My issue with him now is that he has an identity crisis. It’s like when he gets clear instructions to run, his play making goes out the window completely and vice versa.

He just doesn’t seem to be able to find a balance and I think unfortunately it’s because he’s doesn’t have it as a dominant play maker. He’s way more effective running it but you can’t waste a halves spot on that and I can’t see him making the transition to the centres or anything. Although as Sheens like as that switch sounds, with his much improved defence it might not be as ridiculous as first thought.

 

[Snake]

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.

The team is playing worse now than when Maguire started last season ... I am glad there has been no extension ... that team performance tonight was appalling the team did not look like it was coached by an experienced NRL coach .. no form.. no shape .. no moves .. no motivation .
Is Maguire the coach to move the team forward well no on what has been presented over the last month .

Think we’re a bit off that mate but I hope so. Was only last year Cleary threw his hands in the air and declared he couldn’t work out why they had lost a bunch in a row.

Panthers signing of Korisau should be a lesson for us that 1 smart signing can change everything.

 

[fibrodreaming]

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.

Actually, I can see a future for him at 5/8. He is a handfull running the ball and he has a good passing game.
