Match Discussion: Round 9 vs Rabbitohs @ Bankwest Stadium

[WA Tiger]

Just been reported that Hoffman is making his debut replacing Talau who has been ruled out due to hamstring injury.

At least we get to see the kid tho not good circumstances. Talau can certainly sniff out a try...Remember Talau (to me) didn’t show much before he settled in to the team so let’s hope Hoffman is the same.I heard a while back now good things about Hoffmans game. Like really good.

At least we are around the 8th spot why also giving potential future star players experience hopefully in the long run we can turn into a team that plays with the same intensity as last week every week no matter whether it's someones first game or if they have played 300 games. Roosters proved injuries are not an excuse.

 

[Vic Mackey]

If we had BJ and Twal id say we win and do so fairly easily. Without them plus the other outs it makes us 50/50 IMO. I’ve got a slight lean on Souths

I thought Talau was an overrated dud. He showed nothing consistently. He has been great the last couple of weeks.

We are up against it if MCK plays in the centres

“Overrated & showed nothing consistently”.The kid has only played 4 nrl games & has been a breath of fresh air on the left wing in his 3 appearances this yr.He is a genuine talent & theres never been any doubt about his ability.

His debut game on a thur nite at brooky vs a red hot manly backline was a tough initiation to the top grade & that game certainly didn’t provide a basis from which to judge him.

As long as Madge doesn't carry Taylor and Lawrence on the bench. We lose our middle advantage over souths with only 1 prop on the bench. Really disappointed McIntyre is out...I'm really liking what I'm seeing from him off the bench.

I'm hoping that part of the plan is to bring Benji on and just absolutely jam the spiral bombs down LM throat all day. He doesn't have the experience yet to field those bombs properly and will shit up his confidence.

We really need to play souths through the middle, their backs are light years ahead of ours its not funny

 

[Tigerm]

We couldn’t buy a penalty ATM

 

[Das Hassler]

Nor a 6 again...mission impossible

 

[Pezz70]

Hoffman caught out twice. But really can’t complain we’ve got a second class side on the paddock. Boys have done ok to be 10-0 at half time. Not out of this. Might still steal it

 

[WA Tiger]

Ok the Charade is over, Benji back on...He only needs 1/2 a game or less to win this from 10 points down...

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Brooks is having a blinder...................when was the last time anyone said that?
What a fraudster, He’s as bad as Mybe.

 

[Perth Tiger]

We aren’t playing that great but geez the ref isn’t even letting it become a contest

Benji got nothing, Mbye very ordinary that half. I called out Hoffman but the 2nd try was a result of a very poor shot from
Mbye on Mitchell. Most ordinary defence I’ve seen on left side this year

 

[benched tiger]

A got the feeling we are not supposed to win this game, dumb errors don’t help neither does the refereeing.

As soon as Cummins was appointed for this game I knew we'd struggle. The only penalty or 6 again we get is right on half time at the half way. That bunker call was a disgrace, Murray was never onside. I can see the penalty / 6 again count blowing out to about 15 to 2 and then when the game if well over he'll give us about 6 straight to make it look 'fair.' I can't remember the last time we won a game he handled.

Having said that we're shooting ourselves in the foot at every opportunity which isn't helping.

Agree on the bunker call, the guy was clearly offside, how can you f**king miss something like that.

 

[benched tiger]

Mbye and Brooks are a disgrace tonight, have to feel for that young bloke out on the wing he has been thrown under the bus by his inside men.

 

[WA Tiger]

Good
