And that's the Tigers at close to full strength. Panthers missing DWZ and Mansour but have good depth. If Tedeso and Nofo went down, we'd be palying Rankin, Lovette or Milone in the backs. :eek:

We had our third choice hooker and were missing our 2 bench props. Hardly excuses for the performance today but we were not full strength.

Great defensive effort. Tigers bombed a couple but we scrambled well. Nice to see us contain Teddy for the most part. Edwards is a good one, just has a never say die attitude and has always been more a ball player than athlete so I'm impressed with his development in that regard. DWZ back next week and Mansour and Hiku still out Edwards will have to keep fighting hard to try for a spot.

So they said Tedesco has never scored against Panthers. Or did I hear that wrong?

That couldnt be true. Surely?

This is the trouble with getting in the media saying you are going to be the best fullback in the game. Tedesco didn't have a shocker, but it wasn't one of those games you put forward as evidence of being the best fullback in the game. Sort of a 6 in the old RLW scoring. Comfortably outplayed by his opposite number who would have got an 8. It is NEVER a good idea to get in the media like this. Every player who has ever done it has been made to look foolish. It is karma.

Tedesco has never once said he is the best fullback in the game, he said he wants to be and he wants an Australian jersey. He then said Darius Boyd deserves the jersey and it's up to him to get it off him.

If a player doesn't want to the the best in their position in the game then I wouldn't want them in my team.

He said he WANTS to be, what's wrong with that?

When the press call, and they start putting words in his mouth, most people would say something like "I'm not looking too far into the future, I just want to help the boys win this coming game". Humility is a wonderful thing.

Yep we hate characters in our game, it would be much better if everyone responded with the tow the line responses.

Even if he said it it's not completely ridiculous and he was far from the reason we lost today. A ridiculous call would be Brooks saying he should play origin or someone saying Bryce Cartwright was better then SBW

Yeah you're right, the exact same robotic answers is what everyone wants to hear

Holden cup team got done 36-4
Reserve grade got done 52-12
And 1st grade 36-2.

Did the whole squad pass tackling bags around and tackle footballs instead of the other way around?
