Match Discussion: Round 10 vs Newcastle @ Scully Park, Tamworth / Kamilaroi

[Tigerm]

Bateman out makes it hard, that’s 2 left on the bench.
The knights scoring from some dumb play, won’t help us.

 

[Pezz70]

This will be a flogging, and it comes down to really poor selection, I do not get why we keep taking a specialist dummy half rather than a utility in on the bench.

 

[Pezz70]

Once again the short drop kick stuffs us up. Ridiculous low IQ play, put themselves back in the game and then do that. Reef that friggin thing down the other end and make them work for it. We will be lucky to
Win another game this year. Just too stupid

 

[simmo05]

Another short dropout wtf

 

[Tigerm]

Naden is having a shocker. He’s got plenty of experience so no excuses.

 

[Pezz70]

Naden has made some crucial mistakes today, he has tried his arse off and has been all over the park. His missed tackles have been ordinary

 

[Pezz70]

Frustrated by injuries to Toa and Bateman but wow we do some stupid stuff.

 

[Tigerm]

Second half blues again, not good enough.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

At least we're not giving up and letting teams run 40 plus in. That's about the only positive I can see right now now.

 

[simmo1]

Ridiculous reshuffle moving Naden to the other side of the field.

Discipline is killing us. We must be the most sinbinned team in the comp.

 

[Tiger05]

I got to vent. That was embarrassing. We are the dumbest team in the comp. I honestly think we had the ability to win that game but we just make so many stupid mistakes.

We are the worst disciplined dumbest team in the comp.

 

[Pezz70]

I watched Toa last week in NSW Cup he was bloody ordinary, it is some sort of poetic karmic justice that he was injured and it cost us dearly. Best did a job on the boys on that side. Not having a proper utility on the bench is stupid. You take Kepaoa to the bench today we probably win that game

Same thing with the dogs game last wk.It pisses me off no end that we gifted 2 premiership pts to 2 shit teams in consecutive wks

 

[simmo1]

We are the worst disciplined dumbest team in the comp.

Klemmer, Bateman, Naden and Seyfarth are penalty magnets. We cannot afford to be covering for their brain explosions every week.

It's frustrating. I honestly thought we had the ability on the park to win both games but today it was really bad.

How hard is it to not do dumb crap.

 

[Crazyperpman]

What a typical WT Tigers performance, it had all the classics. So many dumb plays, staggered defence, a minimum of one sin binning and at the end of the game walk away with the feeling that they could of one if they weren't so dumb.

Special mention to Brent Naden, some players will make a mistake or do something stupid then pull their head in. Not old Nado, he sticks at it and will keep them coming all day long. Well done son.

As long as this team goes into games with two or three non first graders they will lose week in week out.

 

[Nutz]

Star's injury stuffed it all up....having Johnny replace him was never going to work.

I just hope that our NRL side including our coaching staff can develop and keep on developing for the rest of the year and be focused.

This year was all about development for 2025.

I'm seeing an improvement in some areas but going backwards in other areas, like discipline and staying in the fight.

We just can't put in an 80min performance where we do everything which includes:

Play for 80+.
Do the basics well.
Discipline.
Controlled Aggression.
Competing in all plays.
Talking it up, encouraging each other like the Panthers do.
Concentrate.
I often see all this in Seyfarth but he ruins his efforts with brain snaps, but when the big fella leads the chase downfield after putting in defensively then the rest should get uppercuts.

Do we? I'm not so sure. There's a reason Kepaoa was moved to the second row. He's slow and his positioning on the wing is hot garbage. He's probably better than Naden in the centres though.

I don’t mind Naden in the centres, but probably on the other side of the park, I know he made a few howlers today, but he tried his arse off. If Kepaoa was on the bench Naden could’ve stayed in the wing. It was such a big disruption for us having to play Bateman there and then went he went off we were cactus. I just think having someone who has played centre, winger and fullback, and has half a go at backrow is a way better option than playing a pure backrower in the centres. Bateman got stood up a few times, I think the big body of Kepaoa may have given Best a bit to think about (even though he wouldn’t have been on his favoured side either). I’ve always been against running a dummy half off the bench. Really with the stupid mistakes and the disruption from the positional changes we did well to only get beat by 6
