West Tigers vs Ivans Panthers *live game thread*

[Guest]

Considering Panthers have had 58% possession, I'd love to see that stat turn around in the second half.

Defence looks much better on right side without Douehi

I was thinking that also.

Which is weird cause madden is a really bad defender

 

[Madge]

Well I think we can all agree that exceeded our expectations

No because I expect that sort of effort every week..if it was there we wouldn't be where we are now..

Well yeah you'd hope to see it but we don't.

Pamfers all arse with there kicks

If we can keep the defence up the final score wont hurt as much. I can’t see where we will score points when we are struggling to get up field.

We’re in the 8 if we play like this every week.

He's dropped off Kikau more than once.

This all means nothing if we don't do it again in the next 40.

His back rower should be hitting Kikau more often but he is gassed and needs to be spelled.

Well should i watch the second half, i feel quiet happy at the moment and dont want that disappointed , demented feeling to finish the weekend

 

[hsvjones]

I have been happy with Madden so far...

Yep, Luciano is doing him no favours.

But Madden still seems a better tackler.

I don't think the defence has been good on our right at all, they've been out of position a LOT and they're giving Kikau way too much room.

They've scrambled hard and made up for it but it will come back to bite them in the second half probably

Tries 5 minutes before halftime every bloody week, so annoying. What a dumb try too, trying to strip the footy there. Penrith's first try lucky as well

 

[jadtiger]

Scrambling defence is better than usual.Lucy and Madden not gelling too well so far in defence(probably LL mainly at fault).Liddle has made 2 huge plays one getting us our try and the other just before HT costing us one,a player his size should not try to strip a ball that close to our line and calling his support tacklers off the tackle.Nof saved 3 tries so far the last one tackled Kikau got up chased the play and tackled and held up To'o.
Am impressed with the effort so far from nearly all of them

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Back end of games is always a worry.
We might not win this one but I think we can take a lot out of our effort so far.
Still lots of errors but next 10-20 minutes will tell the tale.

 

[TigerSJ]

They are bound to cut loose and get away from us in the second half but you have to expect that with the difference in class. As long as we keep trying I’ll be happy.

 

[Tiger Woods]

We should play every game like we got nothing to lose then we might make the semis for once
