Match Discussion: Round 26 vs Warriors @ Leichhardt Oval

[Tiger05]

Considering Moses tanked a few winable games we we probably deserved at least 4 more points.

The guy is a f**kwit. This is in some ways the worst season since day 1. We have 4 players who were meant to lead us to the finals and well into the finals and they all f**ked us up the ass.

Moses the wanka seriously lost us games.
Turdesco and Woods acted like complete prima donna merkins.
Brooks was heaps better but he still hasn't really taken his game to a level where you think the guy can win games for us consistently.

The first 3 of these merkins basically f**ked our season up. JT is in my opinion the worst coach we've ever had.

We've had some positives though. IC seems like he knows what he is doing. Marsters, Nofo, Twal, Suli, Aloiai and even Tui have shown that we have some players who will put in and can play good footy at this level.

Just seen the result, good stuff.

 

[benched tiger]

Regardless of where we ended up this season I like the fact that the players were committed in their efforts by seasons end which says a lot about IC as coach and our future.

 

[Clifferd]

I thought a better team would have put like 40 on the warriors in the first half. Their attitude was shit and they were genuinely lazy.

Credit to them they picked up in the 2nd half but I'm kinda disappointed we didn't put a big score on them.

Anyways in a season where a wins been tough to come by I'll take it of course, thank f**k this shitty season is over

Bring on 2018

 

[Old Time Tiger]

A win so happy.
A win and happy the season is over.
A win and no more of Wooda & Tedesco.

Enjoy the off season gents.

Just to finish the season on a high note.

The season is finally over. I am glad it was a shit season though. If we had played ok and just managed to scrape into the 8, we would have been stuck with JT for a few more years. IC would probably be going to the dogs to rebuild that rabble into a premiership force. We would not have known the true characters of the 3 gimps who have now departed, thus ensuring plenty more years of mediocrity, and a continuation of the me first culture that has f**ked this club for years. The money we saved not paying them huge, undeserved coin we were able to buy a whole new team, and improve depth across the whole club.
Unfortunately now i have to support the roosters in the finals....

WHY?

 

[magpie4ever]

What happened to Tiger Woody - did he get a holiday?

 

[simmo05]

I have a long memory. There is only 3 arl clubs in the finals, cant stand manly, and I cant bring myself to cheer for a team containing Moses.

 

[macnaz]

We nearly had the try of the year until the last pass went to Jack Little Joke , i hope IC watched what Marshall King did out their so he is our go to man in future .

Geez the brother of our prodigal son was impressive on debut.Faultless passing from dummy half & strong defence & agility around the ruck.He must b re-signed.

Btw does anyone know if young Siro is signed for '18 ?

I think both of them are being let go. The other Marshall was great and I love the fact that the family seem to be great people. My mum reckons Benji also said that it was great to go back to the Tigers because all his family support the Tigers as well.

I hope he gets a spot next year. I also think he is a good option at hooker. He looked great.

 

[Tiger Ted]

Benji is to proud to play lower grades at the club he truly loves & where he's also the most famous player !

He only has to replicate recent Broncos form & he's ahead of Brooks in the pecking order.

I did have a feeling that Bayley Siro wasn't signed from an article I read the Friday b4 last where his old man inferred he was leaving !! Albeit it'd b nice if we could keep these 2 kids but I can understand if IC can't squeeze them in ! There's no more room for emotion or sentiment under IC's stewardship as hard decisions r being made to begin attaining success asap.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Just watched a replay, I'm still not sold on Lolohea. He makes some really dumb decisions (e.g. throwing a hail mary pass that went forward on the 1st tackle) that a better team would be able to expose and capitalise on. I know he won't be playing in the halves next year but you can't have your fullback acting like a cowboy

 

[Das Hassler]

Problems are there to be fixed...exhibit 1...Kev ....Lolo has already improved a bunch and logic( all contributing factors considered) says he should continue to on a steady curve...believe so anyway

I agree with this. Tui seems to have a lot of ability and he seems like a good kid but we need to take the right option consistently rather than the hail mary play.

I don't think he has the skillset to be in the halves, but I actually think his playmaking abilities are perfectly suited to fullback. Look at the rocket pass he threw to set up Marsters I think it was. He's just got to pick his times.

 

[Clifferd]

I also think a slimmer Lolo will make him silkier as he'll have a better centre of gravity

I reckon we'll see him around 85-90kg pure muscle.
