2020 R15 Sat - Wests Tigers 12-38 Roosters @ Leichhardt

Ok firstly 20-0 is deserved

but Jesus Christ this is NFL stuff going on tonight

frustrating because they were there to be beaten tonight. With a bit of polish we would have probably scored the first two tries instead we gifted them the opener

 

[Marshall_magic]

Yeah Tigers are not making the 8, fox need to put that narrative to bed.

What’s this 8 you mean? Is it better or worse than a 9th?

 

[Pete Cash]

Only if the attacker is in the act of passing. This year it has been called as not played at if it is a simple tackle and the ball pops out

That's even more ludicrous if you think about it because defenders are always playing at the ball in tackles to lock it up

This is of course different to a defender on purpose knocking the ball down to stop an overlap. I mean head down going in for a tackle ball brushes hand

 

[Silent Knight]

Tigers players look completely demoralised.

A good yelling by Madge is just what they need.

 

[Exsilium]

This game is f**king terrible.

Looking forward to Bradley Parker putting on a show against Souffs.

Tiges save their worse performance that I've seen this season, for a game so crucial to their top 8 chances. Still, we seen crazy stuff happen although I don't think this is the night anything is happening.

has his halftime sprays actually resulted in anything? Tiger's seem to be one of the worst second half teams in the comp

that’s what we do. When we need to win a game, we lose it. When it doesn’t matter we look like a million bucks. Melbourne and Parra in the last 2 rounds. We will win one of those 13+ if our season is over.

Madge trying to eat after reviewing that first half

 

[JamesRustle]

Rubbish, he played at the ball. His hand hit the ball flush and knocked it clean out lol

Yeah, that's where I thought the decision should have gone the tigers way. If he hit his arm or hand then I was ok with it, but it was all ball.

Yeah I take your point.

The whole thing is just a mess

 

[gerg]

Has Madge lost the playing group already? They haven't really been putting in for the past month.

Hard to say. The playing group also stinks

The issue comes down to how much of the game is down to interpretation.

Most sports have pretty black and white rules. Even in say cricket a rule like the lbw rule while it's a judgement call by the umpire he has a procedure he runs through

A well-timed spray, if used sparingly, can help the coach get a response from his players. But the thing is the more you yell the more you get diminished returns. Eventually the players will just tune out.

As a coach, you need to read the room. Sometimes a spray might help if the players are complacent, but looking at those Tigers players with their heads down they know exactly what they’re going to cop. That’s when you need to lift them up, offer them some encouragement and just tell them what they need to work on in a calm, measured way.

Yelling at those players when they’re down is not reading the room. It’s just Maguire displaying his ego and he can keep playing hard man all he likes, but he’s just going to keep getting the same output from them.

What are the odds on Madge pulling a knife on the side in the sheds post game?

 

[Bazal]

Well that's not fair, he has a cybernetic leg

Even.
