Knowing when to hold!

[benched tiger]

Every body knows the tigers can be a great attacking team equal to any one in the comp,but what is noticeable with other attacking teams like Saints, they know to hold onto the ball when the movement breaks down,rather than risking a turn over or lost scoring opportunity from the next play.

So do 16 other guys running out on the field for the Tigers each week. Benji doesn't. I can live with him not doing it. He's an excitement machine and so be it if it costs or might cost us a game or two each year and put us under pressure. In 30 years of watching football I've never seen anyone bring anything like the excitement he brings to the game and am happy for it not to be coached out of him. Anyone remember the flick pass for Richards try in '05 GF? He gives us memories for a lifetime so would should take the good with the bad.

The saints are an Attacking side???? LMAO

They have the worst attack in the top 10....even the Dogs have scored more than they have...only 5 sides have scored less points.....

We don't have an issue in attack- Its just our D... and our concentration.

Our defence is pathetic.

This grabbing thing has got to f**king end. Grabbing at arms, grabbing at shoulders.

Hey boys! You got f**king shoulders. f**kING USE THEM!!

I dont give a rats about Saints either but other teams do respect possession of the ball if there options have run out on a line break.

Simply , if we maintain possession for a continued attack the opposition can not score and we dont have to defend.
