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

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Our forum thread is just as confident as yours.

Hopefully Brooksy will get on your bus by mistake and never come back.

May the worst team jag the win by a wrong official.

“ we have a decision” F off!

This would be the perfect game to give Gamble his debut

 

[Old dog]

Could only be on bench replacing Crosslands

 

[mozza91]

I reckon we need to split the Safitis and have only one start.
Question is who to start in place?
We either need someone to step up or we need a new Prop.
Elliot injured from the pack makes it more of a necessity.

Wouldn’t mind Thompson getting a start. He was our best forward in Round 1.

I'm more than okay with that

 

[perverse]

Can someone explain to me why the last name "Crossland" is difficult for people? I'm not having a go (well maybe a cheeky poke in the ribs), but I see so many people - especially commentators - either add an s on the end from nowhere or call him "Crozzzzlend"?

I get that he's super duper unnoteworthy and unremarkable in every way, but it just fascinates me how so many get this super basic name wrong.

Cross. land.

Maybe people are rattled by his ridiculously stupid 1st name and lose focus?

It's like when fans used to call Jarrod Mullen "Jarrod Mullins"

 

[mozza91]

Getting more confident as the week goes on. I think we’ll defend well and even if the attack doesn’t fully click we’ll still have too many points for them.

 

[Yosh]

I just want to see some intensity in defense. I'm not talking about some big hits but I want to see some winning intent when we don't have the ball. Shut down those offloads, get off the line quickly and put every Tigers player on their backside.

Oh, is this the place where we unleash on the stupid for mis-pronouncing a name ?
Thank God I've finally found it.
Corey Harawera Nira ( possible spelling error) does not have a D in it. Even with my poor spelling. Ennis and Ginnane, please take note.
While I'm here . . . every time I hear the 'Riff's new fullback's name, Turuva . . . I hum Kokomo.
Turuva. See ? you just did too !

Just imagine if the game was presented/covered with any shred of professionalism... If only.

They’d be almost no ex players providing “ expert commentary” that’s for sure.

One dumb cliche after another.

 

[Knight Tales]

The constant need to overshadow a game by all these ex players turned pundits is why the game has become such a drag to watch now.

Try watching one of the other games this weekend then.

Wouldn't that be something...

The first Fox game of the year in the lead in the first thing they promoted.. Wasn't a team.. It was their team of callers, then the sport. It's a f**king joke compared to professional sports.

if Brooks sneezes, trips over his boot laces, is somehow booted over line by Joffa and accidentally scores a try trying to avoid some injury to his person, all of a sudden the becomes a media darling marquee:

“ great planned move that, watch him fool the markers, sheens is a genius. Game is not over, still a chance for the Tigers, down 18 to 4 after 65 minutes.

“ courageous play by the rising young star”

And suddenly every media Merkin says how great and wonderful Brooksy is when he’s done f**k all and played like a miserable cat for 4 years.

A bit fat snout in trough that most of us fans would have personally driven up the F3 with him locked in the boot in handcuffs, dumped him at your ground with a cheque for 800k sticky taped to his forehead.

Brooksy sought a release to play with you no less than 3 times last year and somehow we stuffed up the paperwork and forwarded Hastings.

Thank you for making my evening. This is literally one of the best things I’ve ever read.

I don’t really know what is more sad, the fact that the Knights wanted him so badly or the fact that the Tigers fought so hard to keep him.

We both should have to sit in the shame corner for a while.

 

[Loose Cannon]

What an inspiring concept.
