WT v Eels live game thread

[Tim Sheens]

5 tries a piece... Goalkicking did us in again hahahahaha damn you doobie

Missed by that much.

 

[Tigerbuck63]

Well again tonight we were on the back of a few calls that did not go our way tonight but as Tigers supporters we expect a few calls that don't usually go our way.

We basically played the Number 3 team on the ladder and most likely lost on goal kicking tonight.

So overall a good effort boys - Young squad bigger and better things in 2021......

Best wishes to the players finishing this season......

Adam didn't seem to get the ball enough in the last 15 minutes. Looked good when he was leading the charge. Main takeout for me is we have a good half for next year it seems so we know who our halves will be.

He was never in charge ! Like at all !

All the try assists after Benji came from him. I don't believe Brooks got one assist did he? Adam threw mad wide passes. I like the look of him ?

You don’t get a try assist if you’re first receiver in a block play mate. Literally where a 7 has played since round 1,1908. I swear some of you have never played footy before , because of you did , you would know who actually is running and organising the team whilst your out there

You're right. It was Brooks job to organise the team and close it out. Thanks for the lesson.

Yep, just like your mate Benchi never could.

I don't think Brooks also not being able to do it is a win for anyone. I don't hate Brooks. I made a post saying I'm happy to see Adam might be creating lots of attack next year. People can be a bit toxic. ??? Anyway. Shame Benji couldn't play but like I said happy to see Adam play great and Talou also.

Did I hear we have broken a 113 year old record by letting in at least 26 points a game for the last 10 games?

You heard correct ....probably could have broken the 9th again record as well

 

[JC99]

Halves surely set for next season with Brooks and Doueihi.

Hopefully JAC to fullback, if not then Mbye.

That imbecile Voss is by miles the worst caller, so biased against the WT, every time we made a tackel it was a professional fault, and when the opposition tackle was much worse he is quit! :angry:

Heaps of people haven't played football dude ? Not a Adam fan? I thought he looked dangerous and was setting up our tries. Brooks pass to Garner was great though. He should have scored.

No it’s not that . I’m a huge fan , it’s just he didn’t run the team . He played like a 6 , and from what I can tell , a bloody good 1. But our half ran the show tonight . It was obvious to me . We lost because Twal and Mika cannot tackle up high . Twal is a good let’s tackler. The guy needs to head to a BJJ school and work on his upper body control , because it’s dismal . And Mika is horrible in defence

I agree with all that. ?

 

[NJLM78]

I'm still bamboozled by giving Parramatta the feed when Ferguson dropped it. They score that set instead of us rucking it out.

The Tigers have been on the end of a lot of strange decisions like that in games this year.

And he did. He laid on the match winner for Garner , Garner went for the glory instead of trying to hit kepoa . But your right , it wasn’t brooks who saved the fergo try . It was definitely him who lazily didn’t move up off the line creating space for a skill player to step inside , and score the try .

Anyway Brooks Adam might actually work so I'm kinda happy to see that tonight. As much as I'll hug my Benji pillows haha to the champ who said that 😂 Some good signs. Tamou badly needed 👍

AJ still can't catch...... 3 more years of this Nuffy 🤦‍♂️

Ben Barba had the worst hands in the NRL in 2011. We all know what he did the year after. Bad hands can be fixed.

That ball should have really gone to AJ.

Out of here FOX sports panel talking up Benji again....
Enjoy the finals forum members.

No it is a NRL record not a record since rugby league started in Sydney

I actually saw promise in AJ before I did in Talou. I haven't given up on the guy yet

 

[Tiger_Steve]

I love this club and will support it till I die but this years effort was just crap. It must change

Generally agree, though we took the 3rd placed team down to the wire tonight.

But we didn’t win ...... again

Yep , Mbye in the 14 , JAC at the back would be alright . Our attack looks potent for next year . We have to shore up the middle defence . It is abysmal . Actually Mikalele and Twal next to each other is abysmal

 

[innsaneink]

You can blame Cummins but as usual we shot ourself in the foot. Terrible play the ballin the first half, terrible pass in the first half, terrible kick on a early tackle, stupid off load by Thomas M...the list goes on. We were all over them yet let them back into the game time and time again. That’s why we never play finals football. The old story plenty of effort, zero brains

Yep... This

 

[gato]

Thought we were good in attack in the 2nd half. Defence is the biggest issue some soft tries got slimeys that win. On the positive side Brooks looked alot better besides that kick on the 2nd tackle, Luchy was menacing them, Douhei had some good moments when shifted into the halves.

Nah it’s not that . There is an agenda on here basically blaming brooks for everything , because people wanted him to be Andrew Johns , and it turns out he’s not one of the top 10 greatest players to ever play the game.
And some like me , hate seeing , a loyal , above average true tiger get treated like that , when half the stuff said is not true
