Penrith away next week as well...*sigh* doesn't get any easier. Kiama trip maybe?

The sad thing is we should really be last and 0-6

 

[Vic Mackey]

No it's your forwards that are softest - it just flows to the rest of the team.

I've called them soft before but tonight they weren't.

Who is this guy he can't speak, missing sterlo for pre and post game

Cameron Williams, used to be on Ch 7, then Fox.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Gould is a moron.

Broncos never got out of second gear and were at about 20% of what they produced last week.

Tigers deserve their spot on the ladder.

 

[hunters]

Great reply. Got anything else to say?

No, I covered it perfectly.

What Griffin had to say about Teo being place on report. I completely agree with him:

"It's a contact sport ... it's a shoulder charge, all of a sudden they're illegal," Griffin said.

"It's a collision sport, he's not trying to attack the head of the guy.

"If he hadn't stunned the guy that well and he had got up and played the ball it would have been play on.

"If it's going to be like that, they've just got to ban shoulder charges - be like rugby union.

"I don't know if I want to get like rugby union."

As far as the game goes, the Broncos attack was pretty lackluster and really switched off in the last 10 minutes or so. Tigers were bad, but with a little help from the Broncos (and the refs), they managed to get close on the scoreboard. It really should have been a thrashing, if only the Broncos could manage to put together 80 minutes of decent footy!

On a side note, I've been impressed with Wallace this year. He's really stepped up now that Locky's gone. Hannant and Hodges were good again tonight too.

We've had a better start to the season than I expected. 2nd on the ladder!

well you're a f**king tool then aren't you

Weird, if Benji kicks those 2 easy goals we go to golden point, despite the Tigers playing shit.

The Broncos bombed 2 near certain tries and the Fulton try was pure luck. ALso the Broncos stopped playing after the Copley try. If the score was 16-10 instead of 18-10 do you really think Hodges would've kicked the ball into touch on halfway?

 

[the dude]

Very rarely does a team make the 8 after finishing rd 6 with 2 points. Hasn't happened since the Dragons did it in 2008. 09, 10 and 11 - finished bottom 3 every time.

Cheering on the Gold Coast & Parra like never before in their matches this weekend.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

The effort was there, we defended well for most of the match, especially on our line.

The execution is woeful and our attack is a joke.

Can't see it getting any better unless we find a halfback with a kicking game. It would help to have a fullback who at least attempts to catch the ball as well.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Blair... FFS

Between that useless prick, Molzen and Tuqiri, we've got 10 on the field at one time.

 

[renouf]

haha Tuqiri is a log, bring up a 19 year old from the toyota cup and he'll do a better job.

I agree, but at 0-0 we bombed 2 tries, one lead to their first try, which lead to their second. If Benji hits Lawrence instead of trying to throw it to Lote, we go up 4-0 and it's a whole different ball game.

 

[Miller was a legend]

Sugar coat it all you like. Tigpies are in trouble. Forwards continue to leave benji exposed. His halves partners have been ordinary, but that's not helped when the forward pack gets owned. Moltz is totally down on confidence and Lawrence is a shadow of his past ability at the moment. Bronco's were way superior however they also looked shabby. That in itself is not a good sign for the Tigpies.

I don't mind the Tigpies but the side needs some experienced big boppers. Blair is ordinary and screws up at the least opportune time in nearly every game. Big fuggin mistake letting Gibbs go. He and Galloway gave you guys a complimentary pairing and the young guys would have made a decent rotation.

PS. Gus can talk them up all he likes. It is inexplicable how he can say the garbage he does. There was a time he called it as it was. This love fest with Benji smells fishy

should probably worry about your own team champ

 

[thommo4pm]

Possibly, but we are still 4 points ahead of your lot.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Lol being 4 points ahead of the tigers isn't much to get excited about

The way both our teams are going, 4 points (from the byes) is all we can realistically get excited about for the rest of the season.
