Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Newcastle @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leumeah / Dharawal

[Tigerm]

I hope they announce the Bula signing, he compliments the team so well.

 

[Pezz70]

And that ls why Skelton is not a regular first grader. Brain fart of the year so far

 

[Pezz70]

That May try is an absolute corker, what a great little set play, opened them up. Our defence has been amazing this year.

 

[Pezz70]

Last 5 mins has been shit, tigers clocked off, no good. Pisses me right off

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Great defence today.
1 dumb pass and 2 consolation tries at the end of the game, but they will learn from those.

Importantly, the monkey is well and truly off their back.

What’s next?
2 in a row at Leumeah?
4 in a row, with the Broncs down on troops?

It’s nice to win but to miss 15 tackles in the last ten minutes is shite. I’m upset

 

[cerberus]

i haven't seen the legend at west gosford RSL for a while .

Equal top of the ladder.
Three in a row.
All while missing 3 of our best.
Early days, but it's certainly encouraging.

 

[simmo1]

Playing with so much confidence. Amazing what a few wins can do.

Our upcoming run of Broncos, Raiders, Sharks, Storm would have looked daunting at the beginning of the year but we are playing much better footy than any of them. Cautiously optimistic.

I believe Taylan is the only one we are genuinely missing.Will be Interesting to see whether return of Luai kills the momentum.Id much prefer to continue with AD & Jock as our halves but Luai’s salary & strong bond with Benji guarantees he has a mortgage on the no. 6 jersey.

No doubt we are currently more than capable of beating all of them.However a few of them will be desperate esp the storm & a resentful Maguire coached broncos.Im hoping we win at least 3.

May comes in for Makasini for me. Masi's stats and general involvement was off for me. I think Jock deserves a 14 spot when Luai returns. I think it's his spot to lose even though I feel Latu hasn't hit his straps yet.
See how everyone pulls up during training I guess.

Maybe a blessing on disguise.

I think it helps Benji keep the boys in edge. He can rip into them about what happens when they switch off and the Broncos will punish you if you do.

Ding dong the witch is dead. 3 in a row baby! It has been 2,919 days since we could last say that.

Couldn't be happier to be a Tiger today. Aside from the Skelton blunder and the poor last 10 mins we dominated every facet of the game. The second half in particular we showed them how they should have played in the first half.

Just absolutely stoked and looking forward to the Broncos next week.

In commentary, they said Masi had called for it.

Benji certainly has some tough decisions to make if everyone is available.If Tavana is fit he has to return in place of Skelton.How u fit Luai AD & Madden in team is an interesting one.If May isn’t available it won’t surprise me if AD is in the centres

That win by the Tigers was imprtessive. They didn't let the Knights into the match.
