Match Discussion: Round 10 vs Cowboys @ Leichhardt Oval

[Front-Rower]

I don’t get why people doubted Thompson. He played in a grand final for the dogs and was one of the best players in the Super League. He’s a fantastic player.

 

[Das Hassler]

Yes sir.. they are two great finds by Ivan..:and to be honest I didn’t see either one playing at this level..

Yep...and stories like their's are what's made supporting the Tigers and Wests as much pleasure as pain ....well not quite but close!

 

[Clifferd]

Might add, whilst Lawrence has been great for the Tigers I think Chee Kam might be better suited in the wide running roll. He, Chee Kam, looked good tonight.

I reckon Chee Kam deserves a starting spot, preferably for Rochow...he’s on thin ice but admittedly played ok tonight

Chee Kam is pretty darn effective off the bench though.....Rochow was signed as depth so he's holding up his end of the deal plus some. ..his signing was the one i wondered about .

On tonights effort you can post next weeks team now...no changes. IMO best effort of the year

I can’t keep MWZ there, he is terrible. Kev comes back but on the left wing

Hard to beat Manlys 1st half performance, but tonight was our best 80 min performance easily

Our defence was brilliant tonight. The Cowboys were pretty rubbish but we managed to capitalise on it. We need to keep up the defensive efforts because ultimately that is what will get you through to finals.

We gifted the Cowboys a lot of ball that game but they ultimately gifted it straight back to us. Panthers next week will not be so merciful. Maloney will convert every try and they will punish us if we make stupid errors. What I really want to see from Tigers next week is smarter football. A lot of our tries came from ad lib footy or individual efforts. Would be great to see some f**king set plays for once.

We need to have better sets after scoring points. Just do 5 hit ups and get a kick down field especially when leading we make a dumb mistake all the time and lose the momentum this happened in the parra game aswell. Our completion rate is good up until then. Like it was 12-12 and we had scored 3tries to 2tries but made errors after each try.

What we also need to do is catch the ball from kick offs.

And just catch the ball in general on the full !!!!

How goods it seeing them two bend the line consistently instead of ass runner woods bumble and fumble around

I was thinking our pack is so much better because we lost Woods who doesn't make tough hit-ups or get to his front well. Yes he is a really good player but now we have guys who do the basic prop stuff really well.

Our front row was great last night. Sue and Twal were also huge. Sue put a massive fend on Taumolo and he had an impact. Twal was also great. ET at hooker works well as well. It gives us a bigger pack and Liddle comes on and has an impact.

Rochow is the only concern because he isn't offering that much. Lawrence though is playing like a top quality edge backrower.

I like him more than Turd and I don't think we need a fullback. He has been safer than the Turd, he puts in more than the Turd and he costs about 1/5 of the Turd.

I thought he would be a dud but I think he owns a spot in our backline now and I like him at fullback.

It's hard to change anything isn't it. Chee-Kam comes on and has an impact. Do you start him and if so would he be as good.

Our bench last night was awesome. Twal, Sue, Chee-Kam and Liddle were all great.

 

[Ron's_Mate]

I thought we were really scrappy last night, and just lucky that the Cowboys were worse. They gifted us a lot of dropped ball. Some promising signs in attack, Fonua was great, but they still need to work on consistency and discipline. Packer definitely the key player last night.

I don’t think we were scrappy, we got disallowed a fair try and our goal kicking was atrocious

Added to that, Cowboys scored 2 of the arsiest tries you’ll ever see. Our defense and attack was awesome

From what I saw, we were atleast a 20+ Point better team. It’s a shame the scoreboard didn’t indicate that

I still think that the no-try to the cowboys would’ve been scored by a team in form. That play was so slow and telegraphed and Winterstein still got on the outside of Noffa. Things like that change games and I believe we were so lucky they didn’t score otherwise we more than likely get beat.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Hold on guys, we had one horrific injury come out of last nights game.

WESTS Tigers star player Shaun Fensom looked like he’d seen a ghost after sustaining a horrific injury during Thursday night’s game.

Sports journalists, they sniff around and live off rumours and reporting the bad and then they and their editors can't get the little things correct.

 

[Clifferd]

I love how he’s labelled a Star aswell. Fensom is an a grade plodder at best
