I'd say I am disappointed but that's not really true. That's the kind of performance I'd expect from a team that has Jarrod Croker as captain.

No I mean Brooks who was the worst defender in the NRL last year, and Moses who has started this year as the worst. Two games in and he has already missed ten tackles :lol:

http://live.nrlstats.com/matches/nrl/match34359.html tigers v saints Moses 1 missed tackle
http://live.nrlstats.com/matches/nrl/match34051.html tigers v titans Moses 3 missed tackles
http://live.nrlstats.com/matches/nrl/match34357.html souths v easts Reynolds 3 missed tackles, Keary 2 missed tackles
Here is a little story you may like to read, I have taken a paragraph out for you to read,or you can read the whole article.

It's a small sample size, but the results speak for themselves. After missing almost four tackles a game in his rookie campaign last season, the second-year five-eighth has missed just four tackles over the opening fortnight.

Thinking about sticks tactics. Hodgson was probably our best in the first 20 minutes. How many other coaches would bench their best spine player after 20 minutes ????

Hmmm....NRLstats.com were an abomination last year. They were rarely close to reality in any stat department. Not sure about this year.

Anyone who expected us to make the finals this year is dreaming.

I'm happy for this to be yet another rebuilding year because I've seen some positive signs that we're actually building to something the first two weeks. Tonight was a step back.

While Josh McCrone is in the team, we won't be going anywhere. He's not completely to blame, but he's symptomatic of the problems. He simply shouldn't be on the field for an NRL team and kills any momentum when he comes on.

It was a good start. But that's it. Need to regroup and come back next week, hopefully sans McCrone, and continue with the positives from the first two weeks.

I must say I definitely didnt notice Moses ever missing 6 tackles in game one , 6 is massive and doesnt go unnoticed , so id say the 3 quoted would be realistic.

That's because you're an idiot.

Croker has more passion for this club than anyone I have seen in a very long time.

Hahahaha!

And I was just about to leave a comment saying that delusional Raiders fans think the Choker will play for Australia one day.

The Choker can't even get a Country jersey for f**ks sake. McCrone has at least two!
