The only difference with the Tigers and the rest is the Tigers had there run late so it looks like there great. the Knights and Penrith were great earlier in the year.

the tigers have been decent all year imo,we have been in every game only falling cause we didnt have a half
if the tigers had moltzen/marshall all year we would probley be a top 4 side pretty easily
injuries and bad coaching pretty much ruined us to

What do you expect.. Roberts and Holdsworth don't play well together

Like Benji and Morris do?


Anyway as for the game, I think we were up against it to be fair, We had like 5 of our team out (Though we're used to playing with mass injuries now after this season) and were playing 2 locks on the wings, a lock @ 1/2, a lock in the second row along with 3 locks on the bench.

It seems we just wanted that 9th a lot more than the Dogs wanted 1st.

Dogs clearly turned up thinking they would win without much effort and we punished them. There is no way they can win the comp with Holdsworth at half, he is terrible. When John Morris outplays you, you know you're pretty f**king useless.

In reality it should have been about 30+ at halftime, with the amount of possession we had. Dogs hardly touched the ball.

Right side defence also has huge problems for the Dogs and I think we've just given every other team a blueprint on how to target them in defence. Then again, most of the other sides have a much different game plan and wouldn't go wide that often. Marshall, Lawrence, Ellis just hammered them on the right.

No the better teams were the ones who made the top 8.

You gotta make it first

Pretty much hit the nail on the head. From the parts of the game I saw when we were lucky enough to have some possession we gave it up just as easily. 70-30 possession at halftime we were never going to be in the game. We gave Benji too much space, like he had spiders on him. Reminded me of parts of the Round 8 game.

I don't think it was Kimmorley, it was probably just a sense of complacency and poor discipline. Kev won't be allowing that next week against either Parramatta or Newcastle.

Disagree about Holdsworth though. We made it to the prelim final with him in 2006 and actually capitulated when we lost him. He was capable in victories over Melbourne and NZ this year when Noddy was missing. All is not lost IMO. If we lose next week I'd expect to see Noddy back Week 2, if we win next week, prelim final.

God I hope we win
