Wests Tigers Team vs Brisbane Broncos R20

Pretty commical when we were up by 14 with 2 mins to go and he was having a laugh saying idk if they win its the WT 😆



How was he mate.?
Always find him well spoken. Passionate like Farah without being aloof and Angry.

Seemed to be very happy playing next to Jock (no anti-brooks vibe either), but mostly relieved for the win.

I think having a quick ball playing half, ball playing 13 and AD on one side works.

AD kicked pretty good too.
 
Pole, what a beast.

38 mins, 130 metres (2nd most behind Hastings), 16 tackles, 58 post contact metres

He looks like a prop who is going to be there for years. What is interesting is that he isn't a big impact prop like Musgrove but he seems to get to his front and be well balanced with some footwork. He just looks like he knows his trade.

And he's just turned 20. He's gonna get bigger, fitter and smarter.
 
Yeah he's correct.... There were like 3 distinct momenium swings in the 2nd half.... A bit square to start and then
1) we started to tear thru them....
2) The two captains challenges gave the Broncos a breather and they took charge and started to gain momentum on us...
3) But then we. Wrestled back. Control. And finished far stronger
Yeah, it was almost like the game itself froze for the legals and we got a few wins in the court of the bunker, but I thought we were going well enough not to need the break.

We had most of the run of the play, a couple of scares in momentum, true.

It was mentioned earlier, Nado is looking the goods. Strike.
 
Just re-watched the game on Kayo. We still have a lot of errors in us but the commitment has definitely improved. The 6,7,13 attack/defence option works for us and is worth continuing with.

Peachy as 9 is a flop - he adds nothing; too slow and does not engage the defence. Nu is OK, not great, but a step ahead of Liddle and Simpkin. Peachy as 13, although the time was limited, worked for me - no head explosions, positional play in defence was good and his ability to take on the line was OK. Peachy in place of Hastings could be an option. Alternate is one of the young guns - but can they control the play like Peachy can? I am for giving Peach an opportunity now Hastings in injured.

Centre defence has definitely improved and the more time they play together the better it will get.

We don't push up around the ruck well enough yet but that is also improving. Second phase play will come if they continue to push up om the ruck.

AD had good second half, but way too many mistakes in the first. He still stifles outside opportunities too much. I think if he used them more often it would give us more attacking options. If he works at having his outside backs as an option his show and go will be devastating.

Madden definitely brings a better kicking game to the team and his soft short balls are something we can work on as it gives great attacking options.

Our last tackle options improved again on last week, but still a lot of room for improvement. I'd love to see us get a few repeat sets down on the line.

Kelma has been denigrated on here for his lack of effort in attack. While some of it is justified he has definitley been playing to the coaches instructions. You can blame the inside backs for not getting the ball to him just a s much. You can now see why Noddy has positioned him there and why he has persisted with him.

Overall the boys get a bare pass from me on skill - they won the game on attitude. When we fix up the technical errors and complete our sets we will be much better.

Bring on the Knights - I can feel three in a row brewing!
 
Watching the game now v the broncs.
Side note:
Tesi nu? (Broncos number 1) looks like a fat lesbian
