[magpiecol]

How has BMM played ?

Has not played.

In and amongst all of it it was awesome catching up with WTs fans in the crowd. Not sure if it was my own bias but apart from the Warriors fans it I was amazed at the WTs support there!

Much more purpose against Sharks. They hadn't waken up versus the Titans.

We've got a decent set of aggressive, skilful forwards - Blair, Patterson, Gavet & Taupau! Pretty impressive in this version of the game.

Good win boys …. Watched the match up at Brooklyn after Kayaking in the rain most of the day. We're in with a big show .

I gotta say - and people may hate me for saying this, so I'm sorry if they do - I'm a bit disappointed with what Robbie did. Seems to me he felt it was so important that the Wests Tigers win at least one game in the tournament that he was prepared to be grubby to see it happen. He held onto that leg so long after the ref blowed the whistle it was laughable. And then he made sure to give the tigers a breather by taking as long as possible to leave the playing field. I was thinking to myself that the Tigers do need to win at least one of their nines games, but it's a pity we couldn't do it in the right way.

You are serious? Surely you are taking the piss….

Nothing grubby about it. Smart if you ask me. If he let go straight away, a try would have been scored. To be honest I don't even know why this is an issue at all.

With the Robbie Farah incident he did exactly what any other player in the comp would of done .
He's not breaking any rules it's not Farah's fault play can't go on while player is walking of for his sin bin

Man the games have sHowed where koro game is at… They replaced koro with Moses for the second game, who looked much safer out there than koro. I think Moses is way ahead for first grade than koro. I think Moses will make first grade sooner rather than later... Also how good teddy looking scored as much tries as he saved

Neither Moses nor Marika can tackle, they are both behind Patty and Nofo.

I have to agree also with Koro. There is only so much raw speed and power will take you. He needs to learn to stay on his man and not be so committed to coming into defend. That also falls on his inside man telling him to stay out. His feet are also planted when turning to defend so the outside attack is already running with pace before Koro turns.
I personally would not have him in 1st grade until he fixes his defence reads up and kicking catching ability. He needs work….alot of work.

And what did you think about Fifita's dirty play?

Thought it was scummy. In fact have a theory it was Fifita consciously venting his frustration at being dumped from the Tigers while Blair is still there with his big contract.

 

[innsaneink]

Haha …frustration....he'd be thankful we let him go

We were quite embarrassing really in this tournament. Only teddy can hold his head high. He was real good.

We were extremely ill disciplined in all forms of the game. Way too many penalties. Poor defense and way too many handling errors. we didn't complete a single set in our last game v the Knights! not one!

Discipline is how you give yourself a chance to win in these games. We gave opposition way too many opportunities and they took them. We never gave our backs a chance. We also had poor tactics but it matters little when you keep handing over possession so cheaply.

Added with the injuries to sirro and moses and the tournament was a disaster for the club. Only positive was teddy. Man is he fast and very skilled!

Patterson also looked strong… And Siro until he was injured
