WT V Manly - Live Game Thread

[Newtown]

Fox Sport can’t even give the Tigers a few minutes for post match interviews.

You’ll have to wait till the Canberra game is over and even then we’ll only get 30 secs

It was the SBW Foxtel sideshow.

LMAO

how the heck did we win

We scored more points 🙄

 

[Pbulk]

After tonight I'm more convinced that Mbye is a 5/8. If we can somehow get JAC confirmed and he goes ok at the back I can see us next year having;

1. JAC
2. Nof
3. BJ
4. Douehi
5. Kepaoa
6. Mbye
7. Brooks

In the near future we need to jettison BJ. His bad far outweighs any good. Kepaoa is a huge prospect. I don't think some appreciate how good he will be for WTs.

I think BJ looks much better when getting the early ball, he was very good in the last 20 minutes tonight when we really needed him. I can see a big improvement coming with a full pre-season under Madge.

Are you saying he has potential?

???

I just don't think he has been given the ball very well this year. Missing the pre-season with a team can make it hard find the groove. He is too good a player to throw on the pile for what hasn't been his best season. But I do wonder if Nof scores 17 tries without BJ occupying that centre spot and drawing in the defenders.

I admire your positivity. Kepaoa looks like a gem.

Hopefully SBW cops a coat hanger then the media can stretch it out with a reason

 

[tigerap]

We played crap....our defence is indicative our the players current mindset....

We lifted when liddle came on

Brooks still sucks but that kick was on the dot for once

Doohey’s fades were special

Brooks did more than that in the second half when we had the ball...

Brooks' game improved 100%. All he needed was confidence.

It didn’t for the first 60 minutes, he was horrid. The last 20 he was great and got us over the line.

Forwards were going backwards. A forward he has to babysit in defence. Brooks has a great shoert kicking game. But we need to get field position. The kicks on the third tackle were for that. Unfortunately we cannot defend them yet like the Storm can.

The forwards are not an excuse. Forwards can’t explain when the Wests Tigers make a huge break, of which Brooks was part of, and Grant gets tackled deep in the Manly half and Brooks is the closet player to the play the ball but instead of getting into dummy half, Brooks steps back, probably waiting for Grant to get to dummy half (Grant got tackled with the ball) and then Manly dive on the play-the-ball as there is no dummy half. Brooks is dead set missing a number of brain cells.

1. JAC
4. Douehi
6. Mbye
7. Brooks

Mbye would be a really good six with a guy like Foran (peak Foran / fit)

And Brooks would also with a peak Foran.

Not sure Brooks and Mbye would work, but it is def worth trying next two rounds. Give Benji his farewell, but try Brooks / Mbye for a couple.

Foran did a pec today ..gone for a long while

Foran injured , that’s surprising !

Geo is sending Brooks up to you to learn how to put up a torpedo bomb

He's actually played 13 games this year ..but yeah poor bugger deserves an even break

 

[Aubanon]

Anyone want to start a Change.org petition to Sack Henry Perenara?

Ill start the go fund me to keep Grant.

Serious note, hope Madge has a formal whinge about some of those calls.

He needs to go to @happy_tiger s school of TORP ...

Benji was a passenger all game

Pass for Mbye's TRY

1 from 200 isn’t too bad I suppose ...
But instead of pestering me about how brooks had one decent half all year go and give your mrs a tap on the shoulder ?

Rubbish ..it;s discussing,,,

Brooks is still crap
One good half every 17 games ain’t going to cut it for the next 3 years ...
And that’s my opinion.

Only as good as your last 40mins

Yep , but Father Time says when you’re the wrong side of 30 , and you’re cursed by the injury fairies , it’s a bad investment for a club .
