Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

[Yosh]

Really like Miller.

 

[Alex28]

He’s a much better runner than kicker.

 

[perverse]

Fitz never made himself a real option for that pass, and Gamble was dumb enough to still throw it.

 

[Yosh]

Apart from the kicks out on the full and the forward passes, we are really putting in a shift which is good. Jack Johns also gone?

 

[Haffa]

I can’t believe you are sitting on the couch tapping away on your phone and comparing yourself to an NRL coach. It’s hilarious.

He pretty much said the trajectory is uninspiring at best.

 

[Yosh]

Not bagging them today but Crossland and Fitzy look very fatigued already. Worried they are going to start missing tackles.

 

[K-Man]

Lazy high tackle on the last. WHY are we so stupid, so consistently?

 

[perverse]

Not bagging them today but Crossland and Fitzy look very fatigued already. Worried they are going to start missing tackles.

Or lazy high shots.

 

[Haffa]

Tigers are peak 2022 knights

 

[Haffa]

Poor set. One shot at their week edge.

 

[Yosh]

Ah... Frizz gone as well? We got no bench left?

 

[perverse]

Look I know we like to be hyperbolous in here but that's a bit far mate isn't it

Our ball movement has been neat and our middles are picking up good yardage. Tough to look too slick with only 12 men but credit where it's due

I just don't know how you can look at a ~70% completion rate, average yardage, regular (like clockwork) incredibly dumb mistakes and ball movement that is still very below par compared to the rest of the competition (although improved for us, for sure) and call it "very good"? Or even good?

Like, we're tenacious out there and having a go, I'll give you that - but I don't think you're looking at this with NRL standards. You're comparing us against ourselves.

 

[K-Man]

The HIAs and the frequency with which they’re happening in this team is a concern it’s also not good in the sense that it give AOB a built in excuse. When we lose this afternoon there’s no doubt AOB will credit the boys for their resilience and blame the circumstances which may be valid but doesn’t address the real issues.
When you waste your captains challenge on literally the dumbest challenge in history and then kick out/dead on the full twice in a row when you got a man in the sin bin it really speaks to the idea that this is a team devoid of any football IQ

Exactly

 

[macavity]

Cursed.

 

[mozza91]

f**k how unlucky can you get.

 

[perverse]

Rofl and there goes Friz for a month or so.

 

[Alex28]

That’s one left on the bench?

 

[aqua_duck]

Want to know why our attack is atrocious, great ball 10m out from the tigers line and 8 out of 10 plays were one out forward hit ups

 

[Tom155]

More injuries of course

Absolutely cursed
