Wests Tigers V Panthers - Live Game Thread

[Bones]

The missed tackle from Eisenhuth and Chee was the turning point. I can forgive Eisenhuth because he was rock solid all night, but Chee-Kam was reasonably fresh and needs to pay the price.

 

[Aubanon]

2 Critical mistakes tonight. Grub not kicking on the last and instead throwing a pass to Garner.

And Chee Kams poor defence at marker on Api.

 

[rustycage]

Mbye you are captain. Why didn't you get JL off the field? I am so disappointed in your captaincy.

What's he gonna do, drag BJ off the field?

Boxer Aloiai should concentrate on catching the footy instead of talking up his own pugilistic skills. At least flog some mangy dog out on the field, Naden and wife-basher Tetevano were begging for it out there.

Yeah all that ... but Mbye isn’t a captains backside ...seriously !
He’s a church mouse

Agree Mbye isn't a captains arse.
No emotion, no nothing. Lucky to be in 1st grade at all

Ease up

Great defence left side not leaking any tries and he set one up
Week

Conversely I closely watched the right hand defence and the problem I saw was they all defend one in. Meaning their opposition player is already on their outside. It was clear something is wrong closer to the ruck on that side as both BJ and Nofo defend with the opposition already on their outside.

My thoughts are they were trying to make sure Kikau was covered by more than one. Happy to chance the cutout pass to an open winger. But again, our defence was everywhere. Covered really well all night.

Hopefully Paws is on the money about MCK to the Dogs. We need better quality in the second row.

 

[Celtic_Tiger]

A lot to be pleased about tonight but ultimately a couple of clutch moments in the second half cost us but staying in the contest till the last 10 mins against a top four side has got to be taken as a positive. Nofa, Reynolds and Douhei best on the park for me

Joey L was dumb but with the amount of calls going against him, his brother going down and Penriths general grubbiness It was more frustration than anything else. He’ll cop a suspension but there’s a lot of over reaction out there tonight from the usual media suspects.

Oh and Ivan Cleary is a dick.

 

[rah53]

I was at the game tonight, and from the start, the knock on by Clark, we never saw the call. Never showed the replay. They scored off the next procession. Just watched it now & no hands on the ball call??

A piece of play that made me laugh was when Gee had a go at Nofoaluma for standing at the side to play the ball...said he's been doing it all night ..got me wondering is Mansour invisible I mean pink stands out doesn't it

 

[tony soprano]

Who’s fault was the API korisow missed tackle try?

It was Eisenhuth and MCK.
To me it was understandable with Eisenhuth, as he did do some tackling. Dunno about MCK because he always appears a little slow to react in defence in most games.

Yeah I noticed che cam being lazy in the game and didn’t see it close enough to see if it was mainly him. I think we need to let che go

 

[Furious1]

Naden was quite lippy for someone who probably did the least out there.

Nothing but a reserve grader.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

It was Eisenhuth and MCK.
Could understand Eisenhuth, as he did do some tackling. I dunno with MCK because he always appears a little slow to react in defence.

Can't blame the Hoof, guy didn't get any rest tonight.

Chee kam was the fresh guy on the field. He needs to own that mistake

Yep. 74 minutes, 62 tackles and 115 metres.

 

[Krammy]

If we play like we have these last three weeks we will make the finals. I am disappointed in BJ and Garner putting head shots on Dylan Edwards right at the end. The game was gone and it will probably mean they both sit out next week's game. I'm pleased to see people give credit to Eisenhuth. Blokes like him and Clark give their all, particularly with the effort plays.

The play that did my head in was when Pamfers decoy runner took out one of ours with no penalty...🤬
I’m still pissed off 😤

 

[avocadoontoast]

I thought we played pretty well. If we had Twal out there the result might have been different...

 

[Snake]

I thought we played pretty well. If we had Twal out there the result might have been different...

The result would of been different if the two players had not gone down !

 

[TieDye]

Both due to Panthers high shots

 

[tigerap]

I’m not one to whinge about poor referring when we lose, but tonight’s ref was diabolical, they got all the 50/50 calls....

MCK has poor lateral speed in defence and that is what he lacked again tonight,he has had that problem all his career tonight is was painfully obvious to see.

Well this is the issue next week the Grub new captain , Mbye is a passenger being saying it for a long time know .

I said it all through the game that Grub should be captain..
Grub had dig at the ref early in the game .
Christ knows what Madge sees in Mbye ?

Got me beat ..

I never see Mbye talk to his players or the ref out on the field..waste of a (c)

Happens just about every week. We’re no chance of finals footy because of it, we will never be able to overcome the good teams and one sided refereeing no matter how well we play - it’s just not possible.

Yep 2 blokes who would not be on much money and they worked hard on the field.I honestly hope Clark decides to stay as a player with us you need players like him to keep the squad at a decent playing standard when called upon
