Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Knights @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[The unknown]

Two different halves of the first half, if you know what I mean.
What a difference with a goal kicker who appears to be able to kick. Mbye will stay in the team based on this alone.

to be fair even Keith Galloway could have knocked those over, but yeah I feel more confident with Mbye as GK

 

[benched tiger]

Slow start was a bit of a worry but the WT have turned it around as the knights defence has dropped off,hopefully the WT can maintain the momentum.

Notice there’s no real speed..It’s all about wanting to win knowing what your team mates are going to do and being where u need to be...And finally Benji adds the ending to the sidestep ..which he doesn’t normally do ie through the gap..

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Great comeback from what seems to be our new shithouse start every game. Big turning point was the knights dropping it over the line.

In my opinion our formation in attack looks ordinary. Good backing up by thommo.

Garner having a great game. I'll bag him every week if he plays like that

I disagree, Tigers attack going at a good clip tonight, stringing together some pretty quick play the balls, giving Brooks a bit of room

 

[WA Tiger]

And now they have confidence ..may not need a goal kicker here...hope I don’t look silly /er by end of game

 

[Pezz70]

Slow defensive start from the Tigers again, there’s just not enough effort there. Nofo caught out.

What mean is I keep hearing ..there isn’t enough speed in the team..and it’s true we don’t but it’s not about speed ..it’s about timing and teamwork

 

[Pezz70]

This putting your foot in the way of the grubber is such a low percentage play they’ve got to forget about that shit, 90 percent of the time you’re better of letting it go and kicking it dead

 

[Pezz70]

Your defensive set then starts near half way rather than five metres out from your line

We don’t have speedy broken field players which is a problem, but linespeed and ruckspeed are just as important

 

[Pezz70]

Mbye f**king hopeless, tried to put on the big shot instead of wrapping him up. Tigers are gone. Mbye missed 7 tackles tonight, otherwise I thought he was ok. The tackle when Ramien got away for SKD’s try was awful but probably more a case of him not backing himself and just overdoing it a bit. Sometimes when your confidence is down you try too hard and things don’t work out. Bloke needs to relax a bit I think.

"We did it for Robbie" Hahaha
Finally dragged a win from the jaws of defeat.
Oh for a fast back.

 

[Pezz70]

I’m glad we snuck that one, I had a feeling before the game we might do it, but didn’t think it would be that close. I think Chee Kam if he is okay need to come off the bench. I like Twal, farah or Liddle, Aloia Eisenhuth, Garner Matterson as our starting pack.

 

[Tiger05]

I thought we were pretty good. We had some poor calls go against us but we did get some to even that out at the end.

Matterson was huge in the middle. Our halves were unreal. Thompson was great. Garner was great.

I reckon Mbye was pretty good. He stuffed up at the end with that miss on Ramien but he is a much better kicker than Marsters and his overall game was pretty good. We haven't had many options out wide this season and he gives us an option there.

 

[WA Tiger]

That was a definite shoulder charge by Ponga...Great call Who’s side is Roach on ..He said u gotta do what u gotta do or something ..and going for the ball bullshit ..He’s barred from the club rooms!!

 

[Perth Tiger]

If we can figure out to switch on for the full 80 we are a big chance for finals. But we have developed this habit of being garbage for about 20 minutes a game which good teams won’t let us come back from

I think it was more the case that he ran directly at the player and didn’t even try for the ball, when Chee Kam was in a position to possibly score a try, hence the sin bin for the professional foul. If he had of had his hands outstretched toward the ball and moving in the direction of the ball shouldering the player off the ball is within the rules

I’d agree with this analysis. Matterson is great value. Marshall made a couple of pretty ordinary errors in defence but overall was good. I love Brooks!!!
I think Mbye poor play is him not having faith in his ability, just over trying a bit. Farah has a good 300th. Newcastle got a couple of really soft tries, which we still should have stopped, off the back of some 50/50 refereeing calls we should’ve won by more

 

[simmo1]

That was a Tigers like effort from Newcastle.
