Horrible

Not even relieved, disgusted with that last 20 mins

considering your 1st game for a fortnight,and coupled with the heat,I think overall the Tigers were magnificent as the Warriors were always going to score a number of points.

The Tigers tired because of all the running in the 1st half in scoring those tries.

Consider this effort as one for the ages.

Yeah I am not upset by the Tiges performance at all. Showed heaps of improvement in defence and the new attacking plays look sharp as hell. We could have scored four or five more tries if not for idiotic crap like KNAQ and Sirro passing directly the Warriors players.

I guess you can make an argument that Johnson hit it into Moses's shoulder, so maybe not played at...

That only applies to kicks. Came forward off the arm/chest area. Knock on all the way.

It was an atrocious call that had zero outcome on the game though so not worth worrying too much about outside of a bit of embarrassment for the bunker.

Maybe when I calm down and watch it again I'll be grateful but even now I'm seething at that 'effort'

If the warriors didn't lose the ball early in the tackle count in 3 if their last 4 sets they probably win. Moses needed to own the game with 5 to go when we had 3 sets on their line and we looked like a shambles.

Well... Brooks was our best player in the trials and he wasn't there and Littlejohn was an utter passenger so I can only assume that the Tigers are a far better team with Brooks in it.

Then there's Farah... I think that was only a half cocked Tigers spine.

Fair call brooks will help. And as much as I bagged Farah his experience would have been handy in those last minutes.

Next week brooks and halatau in for Littlejohn and Buchanan and hopefully we don't fade out

Remember that game in 2003 when the Tigers led Penrith I think by 28-6 at halftime?

Panthers piled on the points in the last 15 mins to snatch an unlikely win.

The only game between the clubs in 2003 had Penrith leading 22-4 and winning 28-4.

I think you might be thinking of the 2000 game. The Tigers led 13-8 at halftime (after trailing most of the first half), then 31-8 within 10 or so minutes of the resumption. Penrith scored four converted tries between the 58th and 70th minute to win 32-31.

On paper this looks like men v boys. A team I am picking to be bottom 4 against a team I am picking to be top 4. If the Warriors show up this game and this season they should be premiership contenders. But you just never know with them. They should win by 30.

Warriors never stood a chance

Really liked the look of Moses now. Looks like he's ready to take the NRL head on and will only help Brooks.

Great passing game too.

I watched that game your talking about a few days ago actually. One of the great comebacks. Was an amazing game.
