If you're a long term Tigers supporter and not happy with aspects of that performance, you are pretty hard to please.....but I guess that can be understandable.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is a better side than we've had in a long time. While the performance was nowhere near perfect, it had a lot of what most reasonable tiger fans want.....progress. Im not expecting this side to make the 8......but I don't care that much as long as this year shows visible improvement in the way we play rugby league. 2 games is a small sample, but I'm happy with the way things are forming.
*May: It takes a special kind of prop to perform when nobody else in the pack does. That was May last week. This week, his two other props gave him a hand and was all the better for it. On track to become a Tigers legend. Easily our best in each of the first two games.
*Attitude to defence: Yes, we missed tackles last week but even then, our scrambling was at a very good level. Im very happy with our attitudes. Letting in the lst try to Parra will give Benji a bit to motivate the troops next week.
*Galvin: Surely, he is not going to f**k his career and go to that rabble which has yet to clear its cap space from a lot of duds. Easts are a lot bigger concern than Parra. Right now, I prefer to give him a pat on the back as he was a shitload better this week. Some on here have a bit of a grudge but Im at the point where I just want to see him help lift our ladder position.....which he did today.
*Our back three: f**k, its great to have two virtual forwards on each wing. It takes a massive amount of pressure off our pack. The beautiful thing about them is, both can finish off a try too.
*To'a: A bloke I have knocked a lot since he has been here and with good reason. Before today, he has played one blinder and one solid game for the club. The rest have been average to crap. Today, I count his game as his second solid game for the club. He was a better player at Newcastle and hope he can kick on from here....he has the tools to do a good job.
