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

 

[Blaze]

Thank god this is the last game of the season... not sure I could handle anymore of this rubbish without a few months break...

 

[Moh]

Respect to Benji putting on a brave face in the sheds, and stepping away to let the team focus on what they need to do and not making it about himself.

 

[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

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

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

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

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

 

[BAGNF05]

Garner needs a new handbag. A maroon one

 

[BalmainJnr]

We are missing McIntyre tackling everything that moves in the middle tonight.

It is very encouraging to see ?

 

[Strider]

At least on the positive, next 40. We don't have to wait till next year to see how the attack/tries work.

 

[Blaze]

Just so tired of the opposition having spiders on them.... forever holding back waiting to see what they are going to do and then it’s too late

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

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

 

[Deleted member 3518]

Just another point , our centres for this half will be a retiring Lawry , and Chee kam . Just chucking that bit of brain food out there

Smashed Gutho front on tho

 

[TigerVinnie]

Sad to see Benji go like that.. hopefully we can rally around him and get the win.

For what its worth, at least it gives us a chance to give real game time to trialling Brooks + Douehli combo...I think they have both actually looked good.
