ET has been tried at hooker (and sucked) before.

The problem we have with running two hookers is that our pack is so small.

You usually see the second hooker come on in the last 10 of the second half when the opposition forwards are tired. Who is responsible for interchange? Its not always the coach.

Some atmospherics:

Comedians in the tigers crowd offered the following loud “quips” last night:

When keary threw a dreadful pass that hit it’s target in gate 124, row 17:

“ You’re playing footy keary, youre not in the hia”

At Crichton waiting to receive the ball:

“ You’ve been total crap since you left Souths, give them a ring”

At the Tigers players after the “didn’t play at it call”:

“ Grab the effing ball and walk off boys, this is a joke”

At the ref after a late hit on Brooksy:

“ No penalty? You are f-ing kidding Sir! Stevie Wonder saw that, you effing cheating dog”

In the last ten:

“ Ffs Tigers, pass the effing ball to ck on every play....do something!”

Whilst walking in the flood after the game with police and security ensuring none of us spill onto the road:

“ Why aren’t you coppers out there catching real criminals?!”

Anyway....
Sorry to hear you were surrounded by so many humourless dickheads.

Never stop never stopping Silverdale.

I’m learning a lot of new iPhone photo skills!

Going to the game is great and I admire all of the players for different reasons.

The tv commentary, it seems to tell one story of a game, but a whole lot more is going on out there.

A big gripe of mine is wasted sets and in my view we see far too many of these. But a lot of teams are guilty.

This new thing called “passing” is worrying us!

That flowing passing try the bunnies scored against us, is what we should be trying to emulate.

You can’t defend against that. Even the Tigers fans at the game, a lot of us near me stood there in amazement. It was harder to boo than most opposition tries.

It was “ holy fek.”

Hopefully excessive passing is a fad and won’t catch on!

I remember the days when if you didn’t it see it go through four or five sets of hands per set....

Ideally you’d push Liddle for the full 80, and Taylor would never touch the ball at dummy half. You’d only have Taylor in the interchange to cover dummy half in case of injury otherwise he’s on the back row rotation. Best teams play only one hooker. Liddle has had long enough in the bench (plenty of NRL experience) it’s time to bite the bullet. I’ve got nothing against Farah he is still going pretty good I just don’t want a specialist hooker on the bench. It’s a waste.

For the love of the tigers I am boycotting origin game 3.

No interest.

Mate spotted Renno at the shops on the weekend. He looked fine.

He was driving a nice German car.

I’m open to it Farrah did 5/8 ths against roosters ..I think this teams carved in stone tho...seems like need to wait for injury to try new players/combinations
