Very enjoyable game of football and a good win for the Tigers

 

[Danish]

Tigers win off the back of yet another bullshit forward pass call....

They'll wank on about benji for sure but in the end thats what decided it

 

[Garts]

Some pretty ordinary calls in that second half but the Tigers were better in the 2nd half. Manly took some very poor options as well. Dumb football.

Lol manly were so busy being grubs they forgot to win the game :lol:.

 

[Alan Johnson]

Benji plays for about 20 minutes a game and that's often sufficient.

What a great game of football, Manly dominated the first half but the Tigers came home with a wet sail and deserved the win.

Yeah that Farah pass was probably forward but they had already made the break, it deserved a try.

Benji was great, Manly played dumb in the second half, that kick with 1min to go was a terrible play

Lol - don't tell me I was the only one to pick the Tigers!

I know Manly loves to be hated - and - I'm happy to oblige!

Plenty of decisions went your way. You lost fair and square.

Good tough win to the Tigers in difficult conditions. It looked very slippery but the Tiges had some nice blind side plays and 3 trys to 2 is a fair scoreline in the end.

Even though they did get a bit fortunate with their last try.... the pass was clearly forward, but that's how it goes.

Now they just need to get over the Dragons next week.

Sh*t, I almost forgot, we beat Easts last week too. 2 silvertails in 6 days! God is a westie.

Man Lawrence really butchered a try though, don't know what he was thinking there...

 

[Apey]

lol said to my old man that they'd try a dumb f**k play on play 1 to try and win the game.

how often do teams try it on the first play?

so f**king stupid :lol:

 

[Ladmate]

I'm looking with my coloured glasses, but that wasn't forward. He passed it just before the line, caught it just after. The ball was passed backwards too IMO. I'll have another look.

 

[ceagle]

This game meant more to the Tigers and that was evident in the 2nd half. Some of our decisions down the stretch were awful.

 

[Red Bear]

I think he's a yard or two short of full pace post hip injury, backed himself but couldnt get away.

Usually a smarter footballer than that though.

 

[bennoonthehill]

you can forgive DCE for a couple of the terrible options he took, but lyon deserves a good old fashioned bollocking for that last kick. terrible decision.

as much as farahs forward pass for the second try made by blood boil, only one team came out to play football in the second half, and the better team won.

 

[Ladmate]

I wish the Tigers played like that 2nd half all year, or at least most of it. Still, this puts us into a nice position to make the 8 and get momentum for the finals.

 

[Daddycool]

Even after that try, there was plenty of time left in the game. The Tigers were good enough to keep getting repeat sets and wear Manly down. When Manly did get the ball they didn't use it well enough.

That last play was just dumb.... with a minute to go they needed to run the ball closer to the line to give themselves a chance. To kick on play 1 was a bad option.

Anyway, you've got to hand it to the Tigers.. they were just a bit better in the night.
