Brad Tighe: Fraud

[K-Man]

Polglase has been shown up defensively on a few occassions. He was so convincingly beaten in that try last night, and it was hardly Gasnier or Hodges he was marking. According to some though, we really need his defence and solidarity :sarcasm:

He even makes easy things look hard. For example, when Kidley threw that nice cut-out pass to set up the try, Polglas'es lack of pace nearly cost us as he struggled to get away from them, then managed to pass inside to keep it going. I think the linebreak was actually handed to him on a silver platter, if it was Uate, Tighe, McManus etc - shut the gate.

Sorry, I should have said OVER this nuffy.

And just how many tackles has Carmont missed in his time here. About 35% I would estimate. You shouldnt have said OVER you should have said nothing as the only Nuffy here mate is you.

I thought Brad Tighe also had one of his better games this week. Look at his size, he is bound to miss the odd tackle when run over by a stronger opponent.

He offers more of a future than Carmont you Nuffy.

Tighe defends nearly as well as Carmont, and offers a world more in attack.

*shudders*

I thought Tighe was alot more solid defensively this game. Only really had one brain-snap when he ran at the sideline and got a helping hand... but other than that he had a good game.

Whats with the fear?

What about Simmons' second try?

He didn't even get steamrolled, he just ran out of the way.

True. He's cost us two tries in the last two games.

 

[RABK]

Most wingers average that, believe it or not.

He's also scored 2 or 3 tries hasn't he.

 

[Johns Magic]

Most wingers average that, believe it or not.

Not the same way Polglase let them in :lol:

 

[RABK]

Yet you fail to mention the overlaps he has shut down against the Rabbits, Broncos and Sharks. ;-)

 

[Rusty]

I'll have to watch the tape again I can't recall him shutting down any overlaps. What I can recall is those teams you mentioned targeting his side of the wing and also a fumbling idiot dropping the ball metres from his try line and showing no urgency to recover it.

Oh and most wingers might average 2 tries but not without attempting to tackle the bloke with the ball.

 

[RABK]

Tighe to score a double vs the Bulldogs.

 

[Stranger]

Whats with the fear?

Still trying to come to terms with the fact that Carmont can tackle after so long of him letting in try after try after try...

 

[Master Vippo]

Why oh why did we let Matt Gidley go? He had immeasurable class compared to what we have now.

f**k carmont

God himself couldnt of said it better my friend.

 

[strewth_mate]

A couple of efforts today show he's probably capable of trying to make something happen when the ball gets spread to him in good enough position, but whether or not it's partly a problem with the structure of our attack and form of the halves, it's taken way too long. You don't spend a third of a season hoping someone will magically start to play well. Sad thing is, he's probably the more creative of our centres, just doesn't run as hard as the Dog.

 

[Alex28]

I kinda thought the same thing Strewth - if he is put into a gap he looks like he'll make some good metres. But is he good enough to step and create a gap? He really is yet to prove that he can do that this year...

If he has this ability - he has to run a bit harder and have a go and back his own ability.

He is improving - I'll say that. However he wouldn't crack First Grade at the majority of NRL clubs.

 

[Jono078]

The people who want him cut dont look at what other options weve got.

Franze - As I said a while ago, in 2005 he was on par with Carmont.

Carmont - Well I dont think any of us would want him in FG at all.

 

[Serc]

I thought Tighe was pretty decent today, improving every week. Keen to see what he has to offer over the next few rounds.

 

[K-Man]

The premier league backline was absolutely useless yesterday. Tighe is the best option we have at right centre, and he's getting better.
