West Tigers vs Ivans Panthers *live game thread*

[JayT]

I feel like last night was a win, feel good. The last win we had felt like a huge loss

That is the best I’ve seen our forward pack play

If we win against dogs we can finish as High as 11th

What has been frustrating and disappointing is that if we played every game this season with that effort in D we would have won a few more and would be in the 8. Madge knows it and said it himself in the presser. Hopefully the players get to understand it as well.

That first half defensive display hopefully shows this team no matter the strength of the competition good teams can stay in games and have a chance when possession swings. This Panthers team is as good as it gets in the modern game. We just don’t have the players to do it for 80.


Agree, and also believe if we keep this team together, they will develop what it takes to do it for 80.

Spot on.

I thought Twal played alright as well.

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

WHY DOES HE NEVER OFFLOAD THE BALL !!! he has his hand out and does a dumby and takes the tackle. He is solid as a rock in defence and a rock in attack.

He’s a satisfactory role player. That’s all.

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.

Should you though ? Are you seriously happy with this team lowering your expectations to this point that a 14 pt loss is a positive.

Never said I was happy about having my expectations lowered. But, considering how crap we are, it could have been a lot worse. I think we all predicted an embarrassing outcome - which it wasn’t.

Apparently Luc has been slapped with a Grade 1 high tackle from the game - was that the tackle where his arm came over the top of the players shoulder? - if so there was absolutely nothing in it.

Of course Cleary didn't get sighted for his high tackle later in the game!!! His tackle was certainly worse than LL's.

Was this the one on Jock? he slipped his arm around his chest, and dropped him from behind looked weird on an angle but it was fine, nothing close to what latrell did, you could probably compare what Latrell did with what Townsend did to Ponga
