[Walt Flanigan]

Can we get a camera on Bellamy at halftime please?

 

[carcharias]

The tigers have always been known for their defensive prowess

I should add
“In the first half”

FANTASTIC half Tigers. Keep it up boys

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Full credit to the Tigs they've done really well but Melbourne are well off the pace in their own right tonight

 

[typicalfan]

And about 8 new players

How many of those 8 came as a result of the coach?

And a gif of billy dropping that bomb?

 

[Front-Rower]

How many of those 8 came as a result of the coach?

All of them but my point is that while we had to put up Rankin, Moses, Littlejohn et al. we now have players capable of first grade standard

 

[Someguy]

Nice defense from Thompson.

2 penalties to get Storm the territory, hope the Tigers hang on this next set.

They look much better in 115 minutes so far this year. They defend with heart, which will win them more games than they lose if they keep that up.

3 troublemakers gone from the squad, it seems more of a 'team' this year, even benji has good attitude. Not expecting big things from them but they will be a respectable team for the first time in a long time

Bellamy in the sheds

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Vonny carrying on like its 40 - 0.

Goosnier: Linespeed.

 

[Vic Mackey]

All of them but my point is that while we had to put up Rankin, Moses, Littlejohn et al. we now have players capable of first grade standard

And the 3 pea hearts who care more about making rep sides then winning NRL games. It’s a whole new pack without Captain Marshmellow

 

[butchmcdick]

Cleary coach of the year ?

 

[stryker]

Considering we have quite a few unavaible starters, have handed Storm a ridiculous amount of free field position and far more than their fair share of possession, this has been an awesome effort.

Ivan only wanted to keep guys who would committ this year. As a result we let fvckstain merkins like Woods, Turdesco and the sniveling bitch Moses walk. Instantly we look competitive.

 

[Saxon]

Cmon tigers
End these cheating merkins

Cheating?
From the a fan of the peptide poster boys?

Rich.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

The Warriors always get mentioned as the team who trouble Storm the most, but that hasn't really been true the last few years.

When it was true our coach was Ivan Cleary - so not surprised the Tigers are doing this. Whatever the secret is, Cleary knows how to come up with a gameplan to trouble the Storm

 

[Vozzy]

Even if storm go on to win by 20 that first half shows a massive culture change and defensive change Ivan has drilled into the team. Even the support play when half a break is on. No player out there is playing like he is bigger then the team and it shows. Yes both storm and roosters were a bit off but it's not like Storm are not throwing a lot and tigers are in the play makers faces.

Probably lose on fatigue late in the game when their wingers and Munster get more involved but can't ask for anymore.

Nofoaluma has been outstanding takes like 2 hit ups a set and gives forwards a breather without interchange.

It's no shock either, all 3 of them thought they were bigger than the team

Yep
Cheating merkins

You heard ( read ) that correctly.

4 years of cap cheating where the captain of the team was his own manager!

Get f**ked Melbourne
I hope they fold

I’d say it’s arguably the weakest roster in the NRL. Not being mean but this is year 1 of Ivan and I am sure he will be strengthening the roster this year because players want to play for him.

FFS Fox, where is Bellyachecam?
