How the f**k did we lose to the Tigers twice?

 

[Jono078]

They're f**king dreadful. I'm already pissed if we don't beat them by 13+ twice next year.

Can't wait for this episode of Madge's Madness and the blowups around this game.

What's everyone's thoughts on Michael Hagan?

Won a premiership here, was assistant to Mal during Queensland's dominance and now part of the Kangaroos set up. Is he actually a really talented guy? Or is he the luckiest guy in league?

Goes alright when he has a genius halfback. Don't let him within 10 miles of a salary cap.

This. Although apparently his pre game speeches were on point:

‘Listen to Joey’ (leaves shed)

Morgan Harper having a Kurt Mann sort of night out there.

I have a feeling that Hagan was one of those coaches who didn’t over coach. Basically just make sure the team was bonding well and training well then let the senior players do the rest.

The Titans make some really frustrating errors but they are super fun to watch when they attack. Sort of the opposite of us.

I don’t know we make our fair share of frustrating errors as well.

Unlucky. Herbert should have just passed to Fifita. Fifita would have been impossible to stop that close to the line...

They are fun to watch but lack the fundamental discipline to really beat the top sides. The team is almost a personification of Fifita...

 

[Burwood]

Even Mann would have sealed the game there.

 

[Jono078]

Even Mann would have sealed the game there.

He would have cut back into the defense then dropped the ball. Don’t kid yourself.

Great game! Hope this one is too.

 

[Jono078]

That was all Gagai!

 

[Jono078]

Gotta say, trend is the teams who rested their players in round 25 are looking better so far…

 

[Yosh]

The way Ryendols has controlled the game. Pearce is solid but he isn't quite up there with the best halves.

If Penrith lose this, I don't see them losing two in a row. They will be out for blood next week. If we win (which I think we will) I hope we put ip a fight against Penrith next week.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Looks like we're beating Penriff next week

 

[Jono078]

Well this has really shaken up the finals series.

I actually don't see a GF match-up I really like now. I mean I still hope Turbo turns it on but Manly were so underwhelming last night.

 

[Zoidberg]

So after we win tomorrow our pathway to the GF is Panthers and Storm…

Easy wins

 

[Jono078]

1 EELS (6th)
2 PANTHERS (2nd)
3 STORM (1st)
GF RABBITOHS (3rd) or SEA EAGLES (4th) or ROOSTERS (5th)

That will be one of the most iconic finals runs of all-time! Winning from 7th, with a -140 point differential.
