2018 R9 Sat - Warriors 26-4 Wests Tigers @ Mt Smart

[the beavers]

Tigers have taken some big steps backwards today.....
Here’s hoping a few blokes returning from injury will help sort it out

 

[typicalfan]

Yeah, we've been done a bit rough by the schedulers.

Sunday --> Saturday down in NZ. 6 day turnaround.

Whereas NZ had a 10 day turnaround at home.

Now we've got to go back to Sydney for a Thursday game while the Cowboys are already in Sydney and played yday.

After that it eases up I guess with 13 of our last 15 in NSW I think.

Cowboys played last night in Bathurst after playing in Townsville last Saturday night which is a longer travel time and beat a top 4 side. Can be done and all teams face it during the season.

NRL will be happy. Broncos and Storm back to their winning ways. Tigers and Knights shit again. It was fun while it lasted.

It feels different this year as they raised expectations above being completely inept. Rare in our history.

Yep, feels different this year. At least in previous seasons when we started the season shit we already knew our fate

Well stoked we won but hope the tigers come good, ‘tis the warrior’s bro team

That was frustrating never felt like at any moment we looked like winning. Benji last 3 weeks has been poor I think Brooks needs to become more dominant. The side is struggling with constant changes with these 1-2 week injuries. Our 5th tackle options were at its worst tonight the players got frustrated gave too many penalties and completion rate was 63% which was bad. I felt a loss like this was coming it's how they respond like the warriors did this week.

Losing Lawrence so early was a big blow. The binning of ET killed us off. Warriors were very impressive and you need everything going your way to hold off a team like that and tonight was not that nght.

Why are some people shocked that home town reffing is a thing?

Especially in certain places like NZ, NQ and Brissy. Or maybe I've just been conditioned to think this way because we haven't won a count in NZ since 2006!

2017: 2-7
2016: 3-10
2015: 5-5
2014: 4-11
2013: 6-8
2012: 7-9
2011: 7-9
2009: 3-10
2008: 3-12
2008: 3-7

You don't think home town reffing has influenced those savage penalty counts?

Those counts are pretty sweet when they go your way though aren't they bud?

Hey mate you know what?

[This Year?]

I feel sorry for Brooks having to carry the plodder Benji. It was sad to see.

 

[blaza88z]

Didn't take long for Benji to become the scape goat

2002 was a great year in rooster reffing. All the way to the premiership

That’s what you get for having a supporter base that can’t properly dominate the crowd at its home games. A strong, vocal home crowd can influence a ref.

Clearly you've never been to a Cowboys home game.

Dairy Farmers is like a library.
