Match Discussion: Round 19 vs Knights @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[WA Tiger]

As u know I like to go against the grain...I think with Matalinos $600k dispensation money if he’s out for good with his injury I think we have over $1million to spend...I reckon Liddles on trial for a contract while Madge looks around ..I know they said they’d sign him soon but they still havnt..one too many blunders?

Great win tonight. Just effort. Very pleased.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Great gutsy win, possibly the best one of the year. But left field by I thought Nofa was our best. Kept going forward and his try saver probably won the game in the end.

I bag them but Benji and Robbies game management went a long way to securing the win in the last 10 mins.

Nofo really ? Good effort but still a very dumb player .

 

[macnaz]

I hate to put a downer on the game but is Marsters completely shot. He just doesn't seem to have it anymore.

Oh crap did he play tonight?

 

[magpie4ever]

One of our best ever wins. Robbie and Benji fantastic.

Brooks incredible, Ryan Matterson - shoot a load on my face because I LOVE YOU!

legend, give your address and I'll be there. Oh, only Ryan; you tart.

We've all ragged on this team a lot this year (not completely unwarranted) but f**k me they showed some grit and determination tonight. Knights have 2x the quality players that we have, but we brought 2x the effort and this is why we got the win.

Marshall's try had me going from limp to full mast pretty much instantly. Way to wind back the clock you f**king legend.

Go & knock on Legend's door, he will handle that woody of yours; just take a poster of Ryan M.

 

[leaguelegend21]

Wear a Ryan Matterson morph suit and I’ll give anyone on here the full service.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Deep in enemy territory. They are a nasty crowd too.

Not as white trash as manly though.

He runs into the opposition like he’s a ghost running through them. And he stood up after that try saver with the ball secure in his hand ...from under the body of the Newcastle guy! I’ve never seen that before ...I must have been seeing things I’ll watch again to confirm..

Our little fullback he’s becoming marquee.

We are really blessed to have players with such big hearts.

We just weren’t entitled to win against the knights tonight. We were supposed to lose by 18+

We ain’t pretty, we are small and we look like a rabble on paper, but by the crikey, this is a willing side.

Tonight is why it’s feels great to be a wests tiger, other fans don’t get it.

Thought the 1st half from Brooks was just about the best hes played all year, he links up with garner very well.

Went missing in the 2nd half though.

I can’t look at that photo now without feeling ill....u know u and legend are peas in a pod ..are u related

Mbye was 16/23 tackles, very poor defensively. Other aspects of his game were okay. I wouldn’t sack him off that but I just see a bloke who plays nothing near his ability. You see flashes of good stuff but he always seems hesitant to me. Marsters game was okay, his defence was good, except for the Ponga try where he darted out of the line. I think he needs to be more involved, If I was Maguire I’d be throwing him the ball once in every set of six make him work and hope he clicks.

I said earlier, if MM can keep kicking goals, he wont be going anywhere yet.

Its been reported that they have resigned him for 2 years

Anyway - let’s be positive after such a good win.

Corey, Mbye, Benji, Farah, Brooks, Matto we’re all A+ tonight and proved that they are a strong nucleus for us to head to September.

Garner was unreal.

Farah to me was nowhere near an A+. I think we would be a much better team with a dummy half who could make some good busts from dummy half. He wasn't poor. He is a quality player who has lost his zip.

Brooks was so good. I mean that was a performance where he did basically everything right except for that poor kick into Watson. I know Brooks gets a lot of hate but he is a quality kid. He is up there with the top halves in the game despite the halves going around now being pretty ordinary.

Despite not wanting to move Matterson from that right edge spot I think he might be better in the middle. He isn't that quick but that matters less in the middle. He has a passing game, his defence is great and he can hit it up hard. Chee-Kam and Garner on the edges are really really good. They both have a better edge running game than Matterson.

Benji was unreal as well despite the missed tackle that should have hurt us bad.

I think he needs to be more involved, If I was Maguire I’d be throwing him the ball once in every set of six make him work and hope he clicks.

Those defensive stats are missing some of the point. Mbye was hitting hard. Some bumped off but he was up against Ramien who is bumping people off all the time. I think Mbye is going well in the centres plus he can kick the ball.

I think we should stick with him there and hopefully he develops into a quality centre.

I think we should probably be looking to move Marsters on. He is offering very little in attack plus his defence is poor. We have spots for outside backs in our squad.
