Well they had the previous three sets on our line, so had all the possession. If the Tigers were a decent side they would have concentrated on controlling the play the ball in defence right after that.

But alas for us, the Tigers are a genuine Bottom 4 contender only.
They were mid table last year. They are the same side this year.

The worry is that the half they needed to help ice that game in the 2nd half today wasn't up to it with his execution and poor kicking options.... and he is going to be one of our halves sooner rather than later....
Just like Norman he has all the last tackle pressure on him at the moment.

We aren't a top 4 side so I suspect we will continue to do what all other average teams do which is win some and lose some.

I'm sure they realise that there is a lot of work required to become a top 4 side. But do they have they roster and playing talent to do this? I would argue that if they suddenly became a top 4 side then they would be significantly over achieving.

Oh, and lemons are shit.

You make no sense like Poupou. I sense the same geniusness in both of you

Thought his defence looked better too Poo. Not sure if BA hooked him after the miss that led to a Tigpie try or it was part of the plan. If so it was definitely a change to BAs usual Kaysa plan. His return coincided with Scotts injury.
The commentators said he was limping before he got hooked.
Either way Kaysa looked so much more energetic in his second run. Maybe less fatigued.
I reckon he got some more needles.

And maybe you should be f**ken thankful we were able to make them do it

You think a real team like the Storm or the Sharks or the Roosters or the Broncos would've been happy with that display today?

No, they would've been disgusted because they know that performance was garbage.

The good teams are able to play poorly and still win.

This is true. But we aren't even close to being as good as those 4 teams at the moment.

We still won 7 of our last 14 games last season with a group of players that you would say werent as good as these players.

As a result you would expect an improved performance this season.

This team isnt performing remotely as well as the team we put on the field in the last 14 matches last season

I want to see this team perform considerably better week to week.

Will we win 50% of our matches this season? I don't think we will.
