Absolutely a try was not held. No hand on him. Ref is killing us.

Jack Bird has been very ordinary in the second half

He actually kills the momentum. Really really dumb player

He should never see FG again.

Tamale deadly with that step of either foot.

 

[justadragon]

Thank god a bit of breathing space well done Tamale.

2nd Half Notes (We Won 32-20):
o Worst half of football ive ever watched
o Ref just finding a way to give them everything
o We just dont get that throwing risky passes is so daft when ur winning.. so many times we just needed to wind the clock down and we kept throwing risky passes, or not being prepared for the 1on1 strip.. our own worst enemies.
o Bird was rly good early.. like really good... but as he got tired he a bit of a problem... same with Rava who got explosed in defence a few times as he cant turn around.
o Tamale was rly strong all game
o Tonga did another 15min stint at the end, id say 37m all up.. rly strong.. doesnt get stripped by anyone.. which most of the forwards seem to somehow let happen.
o LKT was good though Im rly cranky with him not for not having composure to play sensible instead of keep taking risks when in front..
o Buchanan had a better 2nd half, 1 good ball for a sharp tamale try
o Egan was rly average
o rest of the forwards were soso, MMolo was dependable.. Coric was fine, Shereb, Stewart was fine
o HFinau was ok, except one dumb 5th tackle kick he put dead with 3mins left for no reason.

That was awful... but here we are, we won 3outta3 grades.. quite incredible... just a deflating way to finish it!

Big week next week, Bulldogs are the other team that is dominating across the grades.. will be a huge challenge, but happy to see the WWW this weekend!

Well done Rev , good summation, we still have the women and if we win that it will be a great weekend for the club and supporters.

An all 3 grades clean sweep.
You little beauty Dragons.
No Fifita again today due to his second suspension.
Really not doing himself any favours to be retained for 2025.

Missing TobyC, AlecT, Fifita and BMM out of the squad.. its rly stretching us across both grades.

Yes, thanks Rev. As usual you provide us with great summation and comments.

 

[Dragon David]

The girls, well they are a different story. Soward has a lot of work to do. Our forwards may not be big and strong enough.

The captain should be in the forwards

 

[Revesby boy]

Watching the girls makes me think about how bad it would be to be a West Tigers fan

Just watched this back again. Couldn't believe how the ref called that a double movement, looks even worse on the replay tbh. Outrageous call

On the plus though... in terms of choosing options of who to pass to, LKT is actually really good. Has great vision IMO and just the 'knack'. His kick placement is pretty good too e.g. the bomb he put up for Jake Toby to get smashed when taking. Imo looking back he's probably a better keep than Herring. We need someone who can kick long, though. Can LKT kick long, Rev?

We sure do, but yeah I dunno if he can cause kicking is never his job (it was Reed in SG Ball and Glover now), today was the most ive seen him kick.. I figure if he had a giant boot we would probably have seen it by now..

I watched a bit of the Raiders/Dogs game, Fogarty my god, those kicks go a good 10-15m more than they should.. like thats outrageous.. im sure Burton is the same.. but omg.. what a strategic advantage...
