West Tigers vs Ivans Panthers *live game thread*

[hobbo1]

Brooks is terrible..
Finds the grass more than any other player with his passing lol

Hastings /Madden moving forward

Jock Madden? The guy who was awful out there today?

Or is there a different Madden I’m not aware of?

Madden wasn’t awful today.

He showed more than Brooks ..
All Brooks does is pass inside hospital balls all game

 

[Eyeofthetiger 0]

Stef, Blore, Mikaele very good. We were simply outclassed.

 

[bigsiro]

Why isn't Cleary on report?

Agree feels like a win

Quite happy

We lose by 14 and the general feel is positive lol.

The club has defeated us fans hahaha

I’d take the 14 pt loss.
We played well and Penrith were off today.
Best we could hope for I reckon.

 

[BalmainJnr]

I know we got outclassed but surely big Stef got close to man of the match. He was so good in a losing side. What a player

Should have a statue built in his likeness after running over Kikau.

First NRL start. First game for 6 weeks. He’s no JT but I think you’re being harsh. And I’ve not rated him in the reggies.

I am being harsh. I admit that.

He certainly is no JT. He is a poor man’s Mathew Head.

Tackles like Tulsen Tollet

Madden wasn’t awful today.

Yeh he was. Go watch the game again. I love his passes to players standing still. They were special

I don’t need to watch the game again. For his debut he was quite good. I thought his kicking game was good.

If you’re going to criticise halves you need to recognise Brooks passes that didn’t go to anyone

 

[kratos]

Good to see Stef and Tom standing up for Jock here.
That mentality has been absent for years.

Yup finally. It used to burn me when something like that happens and our players just stand there.

 

[tigerbenji]

I thought Twal played alright as well.

Agree his kicking game was good. Apart from the two 7 tackle sets he gave away.

Rest of his game very ordinary.

He gives his all. Just isn’t a first grader.

I agree Luke didn’t play well

 

[hugh1954]

I thought Twal played alright as well.

Also Big Ken

Yep your right mate, he did play O.k.

I’m not saying Madden is a superstar, I just thought he was ok on debut against a really good team.

I would rather see Pauga or Roberts at centre rather than Chee Kam

That's what I mean. Our expectations have been beaten down with the 'Average Stick'. It's been a slow leak

 

[doctorcoma]

I still like Simpkin more than Liddell. Brooks needs to be moved on. Tommy is hot and cold but willing to give another shot. Maybe a ball playing lock (Hastings) will unlock our attack and tighten up the middle?

 

[JC99]

Stefano, Blore and Ken our best today

 

[tony soprano]

Chee there for his defence atm which has been good.

 

[Tiger_heart]

But once again, have to agree with the comments on 9 about our tactics (specifically the kicking game) - we just don't get it. Pure and simple.

They were both good one needs to learn to start and go to 13.

Twal plays well every week.
It isn't noticed because hard work isn't sexy.
