3 Galloway
2 Taupau
1 Woods

Big Keithy has been a big shock for me this season and I'm more than happy to say he has proven me wrong.
Would've loved to have given Naiqama a point but these 3 are going too good. I think Naiqama has been a real score for us this season

 

[Eddie Lab]

3. Galloway. while stat wise not as good as the other two he was fired up and kept going when the rest of the team folded.
2. woods 23 runs for 223 meters. this guy is insane.
1. Tapau. 40 tackles and 108 meters gained

honorable mentions.
Sue. 119 meters off 13 runs and 44 tackles
Naiqama. supposed to be the most questionable back has been solid under the high and his tackling looks great

These 3 were excellent,it is clearly evident when they are not on the field.

Its great to see you say that. Woods was fantastic but Galloway was really good. Our halves have been below ordinary and they really need to improve.

I've never understood the constant Galloway bagging. He has never been a player who hits the line at 1000 kms an hour, but has ALWAYS made metres after first contact and usually always gets a quick play the ball. We are a better team when he is fit and when he is playing. End of story.

I dont think that we really had a bad player in the game, it was just that Souths were on another level.

In saying that Richards being offside from the kick that led to the first disallowed try was a school boy error! he should know better than that.

 

[gronkathon]

I don't think it was a try even if he were onside to be honst

 

[Perth Tiger]

perhaps, but it was still a basic error from him.

Is this for his efforts on the field or later in the evening?

 

[wittyfan]

Lol! On field.

Naiqama took ball up and defended aggressively.

I know that Wittyfan will slash her wrists, but here goes . . . .

We need some spark in attack. A few here have mentioned it, and are spot on.
We had a number of chances, especially first half that came to nothing.
I don't know if Drinkwater can play 5/8, but his slight of hand, kicking game and awareness seem to be at a higher level than Moses right now.
Teams like Souths don't give you many chances, and we had quite a few and murdered them all. We had very little creativity.
I don't know that Drinkwater will be better than Mitch 100% . . . but we might need to give it a go sooner, rather than later.

If we don't give JD a crack at NRL . . . he won't hang around in reggies forever.
Good, creative halves are hard to find. He will get snapped up real quick.

Has certainly been down the last two seasons. Possibly/probably back to full fitness for first time in a few years and injury free. I assumed he was on the wane after last couple of years but has been outstanding this season. Is it fitness or a rocket from JT?

Sironen played well b4 getting concussed.
Galloway has deserved all the criticism over the last few yrs as he has massively under-performed.Admittedly his form over 1st 3 rounds has been excellent & should serve as a template for the rest of his time @ tigers although I will b pleasantly surprised if he can deliver that quality regularly.

Rocket .
He hasnt played to his ability for years. THAT is why he gets bagged . He was given the privilege of playing origin and plodded away like and old bitch and gave himself a stamp of never to be picked again.
He is playing well and more to his ability , hope it continues as that is what we are paying him to do . All good to bag Blair , Keef is in the same boat altho on less coin.

This game summed up Galloway perfectly: solid, when what we needed was a gun. He seemed to go completely missing after his run-in with Grant when he should have come out ready to bust some heads. f**king plodder should have fired up but he want to sleep instead.

I saw it the same way.

He has started the season well but he is really benefitting from the good work that Woods and Taupau are doing early on. Once those two have dented the line he trundles up as the third guy and keeps the roll going.

Full credit to him, that seems to be his job at the moment and he is doing it well. But it will be a massive test for him this week if Woods is out to see if he can take over Woods' roll and still have the same impact.
