Match Discussion: Round 10 vs Wests Tigers @ Suncorp Stadium

[perverse]

I mean we don't really have a captain. There's no-one out there doing anything remotely resembling leadership.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

The best we can get out of this game is to minimise injuries. We are likely to get some.

D Saf has gone way backwards since last year/the start of this year too. Just watching back some of the replays of the tries, and some of his efforts off the ball are deplorable. Whatever the opposite of a captains knock is - that's what he's doing.

This is the most concerning of all. He started this year super strong, looking like the best prop in the game for maybe the first 3-4 weeks. Since then has been well below average. Massive massive concern IMO when the club captain's form and efforts drop that much.

If we're going anywhere as a squad they will send Kurt Mann packing, and a few more of these ordinary utility players with him

 

[Jono078]

Even if we mount a comeback this week I'm still going to rip these merkins for giving me the shits for 40 minutes.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Tigers will win at best 4 games this year. And look who supplies 2 of those wins. We are the most pathetic outfit in the game.

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Our team run out song is very ironic

Already have Hunt injured and Sue off for HIA

 

[Jono078]

Brodie Best is back ladies and gents!

 

[perverse]

Beautiful work by Watson there, and honestly I've given him shit in the past but Crossland is again getting some nice moments tonight, on and off the ball.

 

[Frederick]

Crosslands had some nice involvements tonight

 

[Loose Cannon]

All Watson. Only spark we have.

 

[perverse]

I'll also point out the 2 big runs in the set leading up to that from Klem. THAT is what we need, it might have woken the blokes around him up a bit.

 

[perverse]

Are we the only club without a real goal kicker? How have we let that come about exactly?

By pretending KP can kick

 

[perverse]

Another 2 runs from Klem this set.

 

[K-Man]

See now why can’t we begin the game with that kind of approach? And I don’t just mean because we scored a try. It’s the attitude, the effort plays. Contesting the high ball with commitment. It’s playing quick and sharp and wanting it.

As bad as our starts are, we seem to be equally good at firing up and starting the second half the right way, like we mean it.

I actually find that even more annoying.

 

[perverse]

Ugh... that's 2 penalties we've given away with the ball. Hopeless.

 

[Jono078]

I'm not liking Mann at all tonight.

If there was ever an example of a player needing to be hooked in a game it's tonight with Mann.

Crossland to Watson has looked dangerous in the 5 minutes they've spent linking up.

 

[K-Man]

Kurt Mann is a disaster. Everything he touches turns to garbage.

If there is a positive it’s Crossland who I think is at least showing he has something to offer. He can kick and pass which Mann can’t.
