Finding myself quite a bit depressed over tonight’s game. I know we are building towards the right thing but tonight’s game seemed like such a backwards step.

Madge is being patient in building the club and that’s the right thing to do but it’s hard to be patient as a fan when we’ve been poor for so long. Happy to give Madge a good 5 years to build us up but gee it’s gonna be tough until then. I’ve got faith in him though

Concerned about our spine next year, Grant will be gone, we need a 5/8 and brooks has been in poor form the last month and a bit. If he doesn’t improve we will be screwed.

Hard being a tigers supporter. I wish we were like roosters or storm always being a premiership threat. Time for bed I think before I get too much more upset ?

Next year will be the same mate

Suck it up ?

Pretty much. Same crap different year. Best pre-season ever will be mentioned again too!

Also expect lots of:

“The boys have really bought in to what we’re doing”
“Lots of faith in the playing group”
“80 minute performances”

It was always going to be tricky containing their backline especially with no favours from the ref and some dumb errors. The game didn't go our way and we just didnt have the players to get us out of trouble. They controlled the game until we started to get some 50/50 calls but all too late.

 

[JC99]

Surprised how well Rowdy did in the air. Looks
Like a real target to kick to he got up a few times.

I know that’s why I’m sad ?? I know it takes time but why does it have to be so long. Like I said madge is doing it the right way just wish we could have a magic instant fix.

It’ll take 3 more years easy and that’s if Madge hangs around


We need to do what Parra have done and just buy seasoned pros ...

[Madge]

Simple we just didn’t have the cattle to be in the fight. The game was pretty much lost before kick off.

I think what we are all searching for in our group of players,and its pretty important if you want to win games and play finals footy.....

ABILITY.......(seems some of our squad were behind the door when the good Lord was handing it out)

Well how did they make it this far ?
It’s poor recruitment and piss poor management that’s what it is !

I’ve had enough

 

[teddy23]

Can everyone stop overreacting

- no BJ Leilua
- no Alex Twal
- no Tommy Talau
- no Zane Musgrove
- no Sam McIntyre
- no Robert Jennings (Hoffman did okay based off the circumstances but regardless of the hate towards Jennings he would’ve done better)

Just wasn’t our night, let’s bounce back and take back that 8th spot the Bunnies have a tough few games coming up too and looks like they’ll be without Latrell so let’s try stay positive

 

[tigerap]

We were poor tonight but my god the ref had a shocker we got nothing all night, hammered in the penalties and 6 agains then there was the refs challenge after a replay on the big screen and an eternity. Latrell should have been sent off didn’t even get looked at or put on report, that was the most blatant biased against us I’ve seen in a long time.

Same last week...actually it’s the same every week.....refs hate WT

 

[tigerap]

Neither is Jennings like some in here think he is...
Dont rewrite history on the game it was a lazy play the ball knock on from nofo that resulted in a try same as twh titans game the guy lacks concentration. He then goes out and does a fantastic run intercept but please dont hide the brain fades he has in games

Listen Chief if you want to get up someone for costing the game - aim it at the right person for God's sake.

His name is MBYE!!!!

Mbye was dreadful but he didn’t cost us the game.

No I know he didn't - it was someone else (not the captain) who was running in field and leaving a kid playing his first game (who he should have been helping) to have to run in and try and cut the ball off from getting to the winger.

Oh! i know it was Reynolds fault, you blame him for everything - so maybe he had an Mbye mask on and it was him.

Time for you to take a bex and have a lie down Russ.

Ps Reynolds 4 runs for 16m in 70 minutes. An inspired performance from our marquee 5/8

Yeah but he ran for about 75 meters waving his arms around

But you cant blame Madge for previous recruitment failures he is doing what he can to make this lot NRL competative,coaching good young players while trying to get the best out of the experienced ones..
You really have to look at the simplest of errors made by guys who have been at this level for a long time and they do it regularly eg ET giving penalties away MCK spilt ball first touch,Mbye rushing in defense and leaving young debutant hanging out to dry with seasoned players coming at him and I can keep going on...As soon as Madge gets a chance to clear the roster it cant come quick enough and the club will be much better for it...

On Nrl.com that’s recorded under IRM (Idiot Run Metres)

 

[TYGA]

I put the game on replay and freeze frame to work out what happens on the left. It started with Luciano not attacking the ball carrier and drawing Brooks infield. To be honest Luciano was a small part of the problem he played strong.

Mbye instead of holding his line raced infield with Brooks leaving young Hoffman with 2 on ones against gun outside backs. The rest was history just like shelling peas for the Rabbits.

This can be corrected but lack of communication was evident.

Brooks has been solid defensively on Mbyes inside and young Talau the same on the outside. It was really uncharacteristic of the left edge albeit Mbye can be shredded defensively due to his bad decision making out wide.

Moses has to be dropped their is no excuse he has to protect his young winger. Brooks likewise it was really poor.

Defensively we had zero line speed and let them make big metres and no real pressure in the kicker. Penalties and 6 again calls had us playing off our own line. Mistakes gave them good ball and they went straight to our left edge. In attack we need Benji to be a second playmaker josh has no passing game.

Rabbits were good we had no answers. We can’t cope with injuries, suspensions as bad officiating.

I can’t believe we couldn’t buy a repeat set. They slowed us down and markers constantly offside. And nothing for 60 minutes. They challenge the call 1 minute later after viewing it on the big screen. I honestly cannot believe the amount of bias against us. It’s every damn game.

I’m interested to know what the commentators said about this incident, can anyone enlighten me?
