Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Eels @ Bankwest Stadium

[macnaz]

I couldn’t even get general admission tickets and there were at least 6000 vacant seats, had to pay a premium and there were empty seats in the stadium. Spewing!!!!

Were you aware Parra had reserved seats ??
At our home ground.. seriously what the f**k is it with that !!

I think we’re close, I really do. Maguire has done wonders when you consider 1/4 of our cap isn’t playing. There’s significant changes in our attack that is starting to take shape, I don’t think we’re far off, I expect us to win a few in a row very shortly

I also think we are close. I like Thompson and 1 and Mbye in the centres. It gives us more pace out wide but they both need to learn their new roles.

I like our pack although we do need another middle forward. Chee-Kam and Liddle also need more game time.

 

[Tiger05]

Boring and predictable. Terry Lamb may as well be coach.

He was clearly out wasn't he.

 

[stryker]

Disappointed.
Deflated.
Couldnt give a shit anymore.
Hope they cop the spoon to be honest. The club has deserved it for a long time now

 

[stryker]

Just cant get them interested.

Im hiring labourers at the moment...think a good half dozen of these fools should be hitting me up. Certainly not going to be first grade footballers too much longer.

Robert Jennings was a disgrace today. He is so fat and slow and seriously the worst finisher in the NRL. There is nothing good about him at all.

He must be dropped this week. We have to blood Tommy Talau who is a deadset fun and one of the best prospects under 20 in the NRL.

Also, as I said back in April, our goal kicking is a disgrace and costs us another game. Esan Marsters must never f**king practise because he missed kicks that can be fixed through learning. Too concerned with playing Fortnite than learning kicking. He has seriously regressed this year in every way and it is a worry.

Give the kicking shoes to Benji or Moses.

I’m typically a glass half full type and I hope you are right Vic however, who in that ¼ would you have?

Reynolds walks in but only when Marshall is injured,
Mautulino walks in simply as we need size but, would Madge still want to have Farah and Liddle in 17? I would have Mautulino for Taylor.
Packer doesn’t come into it, does he? Fit and with a ‘I want this mind set’ he does but....
Who else?

Yes the attack is starting to take shape unfortunately if that attack involves our backs, they aren’t really contributing IMO. Maybe that horse whisperer that Walters used for SOO could be used or simply hiring a hypnotist might work.

I think we are far off making the 8 (I know you didn’t mention the 8) but we are a long way off if Madge perseveres with the outside backs playing and/or in their current positions.

But I like that you are positive.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Critical effort lapses and we need to find a kicker, but on the odd occasion, we showed plenty in attack.

My fourth game this year and I think our attack was the best I’ve seen it.

Our unfancied forwards continue to impress against much more illustrious opponents.

I’m not saying to play them, I’m saying that having them on the roster is taking away about $2.5mil of our cap that can be spent on other players. Maguire doesn’t rate them, so effectively he is operating with 75% of what other teams are spending

I think that’s right. I have also been disappointed with the backline this year, but at least there was some intent and mixing it up tonight.

If they can retain this effort and keep improving, we are not quite finished for 2019. If we had a kicker and the ref wasn’t a dog, we may have stolen this one.

 

[Rhyno]

Mitch Moses what a player

Tigpies could do with a halfback like him

Sorry, I’m with you now and agree.

 

[OldSchoolTiger]

Benji to score a try and tigers to win paying 11 bucks, I have just dropped a grand on it, go the mighty tigers, good luck benji

Ouch. Might have been better off putting it through the pokies. Would have got better odds considering our bankwest hoodoo

Yeah I complained on here about it yesty

Refs and kicker didn’t help us today but we’re gone for 2019, you can’t lift and win a game on a day like today you’re gone!! It’s time to say goodbye to Robbie and let Liddle have a crack, maybe a couple of other youngsters a blooding, I’d be looking at letting blokes like Aloia, Matterson, Eisenhuth have a week off here and there, get their bodies in order for next season, just a waste having them bash themselves up too much this year.

Thompson gets another two years and starts making mistakes all over the ground, we are on a winner there!!! Although Jennings unwillingness as a ball returner led to one of those mistakes

 

[Pezz70]

Tigers forwards need to find some bad intentions

 

[Front-Rower]

Thompson gets another two years and starts making mistakes all over the ground, we are on a winner there!!!

At least he gets involved, busts his gut and gives a damn

 

[Pezz70]

At least he gets involved, busts his gut and gives a damn

He’s no captain Mbye you’ve got me there!

It’s funny the stats show them both being useful I swear I must’ve watched a different game today.

I like Thompson you’re correct, he has a crack.
