Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Sydney @ Allianz Stadium, Moore Park / Gadigal

[simmo1]

So good to see Fainu playing direct after watching Galvin crab across field all season.

Is Toa the only player whose defence gets better when he is injured? At least he couldn't run out of the line and tackle fresh air.

I didn't watch the game, I'll stream it later. Less stressful that way. When they score I get less upset knowing that we still win.

Fantastic performance. Now Benji just needs to get them all playing that hard with Api and Luai

OMG what a win.. and no “stars” hopefully that will make the “stars” take a look at themselves and be a bit more humble..They’re ok but they can be much better..

Hope and AD thankfully played well.. Hope looked like he cared. His distribution was first class . No looping api type passes. He looked like he could have a voice and maybe some sneak through tries once he settled in.

At last we’ve got a 6 who is playing whats in front of him instead of the instead of the habitual stop start crap from Luai who starves his outside backs of ball prob resulting in mind games and a lack of confidence from those players... I don’t mind someone as captain with a totally intimidating voice BUT you have to be a special player to do that or it plays mind games with the players ..

Today you could see the players were free to express themselves and with confidence! Sure there were mistakes but prob from trying too hard That’s ok..

And the Stabby bro shits on Galvin. Well done Tigpies

Fantastic win even if it took a year off my life and gave me a few thousand more grey hairs. If Latu can have some uninterrupted footy he could be a very good well into the future. His defence is solid.

Special shout out to Staines who I've been critical of. I'd say he was very close to our best today. And To'a who played the whole 2nd half in serious pain. Just gutsed it out like a warrior. And Taruva. Some great try saves in the 1st half and played almost like an extra middle in the second.

My only criticism is that we really look unfit, which is a major concern. We were completely gassed with 25 minutes to go. I don't know what to make of that.

‘We did it for him’: Tigers dedicate Roosters upset to Benji as trio of brothers make NRL history

It was a historic afternoon, with Fainu brothers Samuela, Latu and Sione becoming the first trio of brothers in NRL history to all score tries for the same team in the same game.

Ok well that’s your one

 

[Tiger05]

We were completely gassed with 25 minutes to go.

Is it the use of the bench ? Is it the team going too hard and busting their nut at the start of the game ? I'd be surprised if it was fitness.

I can't believe how rarely Staines gets picked in this team. He is fast and goes hard. Skelton is a weapon but I don't think he is reliable as Staines. Turuva could easily play fullback for us. It's good to have another option with Bula as well.

I think Latu showed more today than Galvin has all year and I reckon he can do better. I want to see Latu and Luai get plenty of time on the park for the rest of this season in the halves. Doueihi did great today though.

Oh honey do try keep up. I'll leave the rest of you fine footy fans to enjoy the result

Yea ofcourse, you can never blame the spine right?

Every game you've won since he signed was basically Api doing it himself

Your right it’s Luai that’s the problem.. The very point of my initial post.. The motivator, the team/confidence builder the playmaker.. Today for the first time they were all there.. and no meat head Luai sin bins / penalty’s that were game changing..Thats why we won ..ey boy!
