Match Discussion: Round 18 vs Raiders @ GIO Stadium Canberra

[Tiger05]

We had a go there didn't we. Mbye really put in. Brooks was good.

I think a 2 hooker policy can work but Robbie needs to be off the field a lot more. He isn't providing good service from there or any spark.

 

[Pezz70]

Mbye having a dig tonight.

Not too bad, made a couple
Of good runs at good times. Needs to have a go, too worried about making mistakes, as a result he is very tentative under the high ball and that causes mistakes, not bagging him tonight though. The two hookers I’ve been banging on about hurt us, would’ve been nice to have another big man to come on. Completion rate was terrible and there were really bad errors at crucial moments. Liddle pass from lock was an absolute brain fade, the poor ball security in our own 30 where Hodgson stole the ball 3 times(he should’ve been pinged when he took one of Nofoaluma (I think it was where Nofo was already on the ground and well tackled) and some cheap turnovers in our own half.

Disappointing again blown off the park in the first 10 minutes. It’s nice to say they had a dig, kept Canberra scoreless for 50 odd minutes blah blah, they didn’t get the effin two points, just not good enough.

Piss Farah off, he should have retired last year

Farah had a good game, made meters out of dummy half, passes hit the mark, he also put on good plays with marshal, Liddle is dog shit, can’t pass, no plays, and no runs out of dummy half that were effective, Momirovski on the wing played well, mbye had his best game for the tigers, we where missing a big forward coming of the bench, Clark in for Liddle on the bench I think we win the game.

He is pretty crap at the moment isn't he.

 

[Tiger05]

passes hit the mark

His service was pretty poor.

Liddle is dog shit, can’t pass, no plays, and no runs out of dummy half that were effective, Momirovski on the wing played well, mbye had his best game for the tigers, we where missing a big forward coming of the bench, Clark in for Liddle on the bench I think we win the game.

LIddle wasn't really playing at hooker. He was basically a middle forward. He did come up with a terrible play and he didn't do much but Robbie was poor.

Momo made a massive mistake when he came off his wing but he does a lot right. He also lacks speed.

We put in. I think Robbie needs to go.

I assume you missed Farah’s pass which went 30m backwards when we were on the attxk

 

[Smellmyfinger]

Farah is a disgrace and is has killed our season the past 8 weeks. The side we have needs speed out of dummy half. Keeping Farah there has been a massive blunder by Madge. He is selfish and slow.

Mbye should start at 9, with Liddle off the bench next week.

Talou right centre, MCK left centre. Marsters on the bench as a backrower.

Bradley left wing.

 

[stryker]

Farah is the only player in the team who can kick. A lot of our field position came from his downtowners.His service was average but so was Liddles.

Canberra left the door open but our reserve graders couldnt convert. Most teams in the NRL beat Raiders tonight. We have shit forwards and in-evasive backs. Easy to contain and hold off.

Mbye at 9 makes everything you said redundant. Beyond moronic

 

[Tiger05]

Stryker - Benji and Brooks can both kick. Robbie shouldn't be in the team based on performance.

 

[Front-Rower]

I lost count of the number of passes that Farah threw from dummy half that were caught above the head

Edit

I made note of it at the time in the game day thread but there was one instance there where Liddle got the sh*ts with Farah because he had had enough of Farah pushing his way in to dummy half.

Benji is good for floating bombs, Brooks for the occasional grubber. Both are pathetic clearing kickers.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I’d say we are well into succession planning for Robbie and Benji.

They are both getting worse with age and injury.

 

[The unknown]

The Farah brigade on that WTID fb page is seriously doing my head in

You didn’t see Brooks 70m monster. I swear people don’t watch the game. Brooks has one of the longest kicks in the game, I get sick of blokes bagging him. His defence is still a bit sus but he has a fair dinkum dig and cops shit endlessly. Occasionally he dubs a kick. Woah up men go watch the game

Brooks is approaching marquee

It would be frightening to see what he could do with an elite group around him.

Are we really? Even a fan like me of these two didnt think they would play much this year. Our succession players arent doing anything worth a shit. The fact that most fans and commentators outside the club see these two as our best at this stage of their careers speaks volumes about our roster.

His defence is the most consistent part of his game.
Why dont you take notice of what is going on?

Go have a look at the match stats, he missed five tackles today for 78% success, not terrible and he now takes on the big boys, he’s not the turnstile he once was by any means, but he could be better at times, much improved.

Have a look at the kick metres Brooks has 8 kicks for 180m Farah had 4 for 130, remember many of Brooks kicks take place in the opposition 20 he is every bit the kicker that Farah is. Marshall had 8 kicks for 230 metres. I concede the Farah kick that resulted in Taylor being penalised was an absolute cracker. I can only draw one conclusion-Farah is not the only kicker in the team.
