WT v Eels live game thread

Actually a better team on the field right now with Cheekam on the field defensively... Talau is a centre... I got excited when he beat a couple of Parra defenders

Agree on the second bit, but MCK was terrible in their last try, giving Gutherson too many options.

Mate all of them were scrambling, you can't do much when they're at you and defense ain't set properly

Yep . Talau and BJ have to be our centre combo next year .
I’d say Our halves tonight is probably what starts round - next year

For sure I wouldn’t mind giving Nofo a crack at fb too

 

[Aesopian]

Need to control the football when we have it..if that fails take off some heads..

Last chance of the year to break some slimey bones and we have no mongrel.

Disappointed in the line speed and lack of players torpedoing out for a king hit... What a waste:angry:

 

[Yossarian]

41/59 possession... Never going to get anywhere when every game we seem to have low 40s possession percentages.

 

[Speed2burn]

Clearly can't win in defence have to win in points. Let's go Brooks.

I am watching this from behind the goal posts It is going to be a long 2 yrs with Brooks at 7 !

What are you watching mate ? We have looked good . If people stop dropping the ball , and throwing crap passes , we will be alright . The defence ... AGAIN down the right is our issue .

The negative stuff about brooks will never stop while he wears our jersey. It’s nauseating

And truthfull

Some of it. Some of it is over exaggeration though. He hasn’t even been that bad tonight

No, he's just vanilla and bog average thus a Tigers side will never make the finals with him in the halves. Supporting evidence, 2014-2020 finals appearances = 0

Jonathan Thurston couldn’t turn this mess into a finals side.

Brooks has no killer instinct. Had Moses on the ground and could have bashed him, but instead just a gentle hand on him.

So he didn’t dog shot his best mate ? Yeah ok ..

 

[WT2K]

40mins left. Take off some heads. Moses first up, followed by Gutherson and Matterson, cheers.

 

[Fraze23]

I'd like to see Talau at 6. Doueihei back to 1, Nof back on the wing.

 

[weststigerman]

This game is another reminder that we need a left winger.

 

[Tigerbuck63]

So the wash up is this, the team with the better D in the 2nd half wins the game.
Paulo killing us earlier get him wrapped up on the ground.

We have been speaking about Brooks when Benji is not there anymore can he perform?

Need to score 1st and this game might go down to the wire.

Shame about Benji being injured but suppose Karma comes back to bite sometimes......

For all the Tigers supporters we want a Win against a top 4/8 team this season.

 

[happy_tiger]

Why make 5 changes to replace Benji

 

[Newtown]

The Canberra halfback played well today. He can also kick goals.

 

[mike]

Why make 5 changes to replace Benji

‘Cause we can.

 

[Strider]

I'd like to see Talau at 6. Doueihei back to 1, Nof back on the wing.

I dunno he throws some shocker passes? His running game looks 🔥

 

[bathursttiger1]

Takarangi in for his standard try against the tigers

He would go down as the NRLs best ever if he got to play against us every week

Thanks Jason Taylor.

 

[Andyvee]

The effort is there, just missing the class. Madge is going to have a lot of work during the off season. Hopefully there are a few more roster changes between now and then because I don’t know how much more improvement he can get in this team. Hopefully the effort continues into the second half and they keep it competitive.

 

[T_and_M]

this kepoa has possibly the worst hands I’ve seen

Ever seen Rowdy try to catch a ball? Flippers is also his nickname.

The is difference between catching it at full speed and catching long pass.

 

[rustycage]

I'm so sad for Benji. :/

Of course you are. Your posters, Benji doll, pillow, doona and face mask should see you through though.

 

[happy_tiger]

Just would have played Rowdy at 6

Then again if Liddle on bench ....

 

[BalmainJnr]

No excuses for our blokes not to have a crack in this second half. Farewelling some club legends and a combination of blokes either wanting to leave a positive impression on the coach or find a contract for next year. Roll up your sleeves Tigers!
