Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Wests Tigers @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Silent Knight]

They went to Joey there and it looked like he wanted to run out with the boys. Probably could still put on a couple of tries.

 

[perverse]

That was a nice try by the Tigers. We conceded it a few plays back when we let them get a roll on and didn't dominate the ruck.

 

[Spot On]

Big shout out to Chris Randall. Bloke is doing a brilliant job.

We look to have some good forward depth too. Mat Croker and Leo Thompson are great additions for us. Could turn into very good players.

 

[Silent Knight]

Friz was best on field for mine.

 

[Knight Tales]

I bet Luke Brooks is wishing he had made a different call.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Well, could've played a lot better in attack but we'd all have taken that scoreline before the game. Particularly happy we've done it despite injuries.

 

[Willie Ray]

Top of the table lads!
I'll drink to that!

Big shout out to Chris Randall. Bloke is doing a brilliant job.

I swear you watch a different game/sport sometimes. Completely forgot the first half?

I'll take the win. Down on troops. It was messy at times with the occasional nice touch. Gagai and our pack the stars for us today. Completion rate fantastic. Effort was great and around about where it needs to be all the time. Defense was good, although the Tigers threw practically nothing at us.

 

[Zoidberg]

Good win.
Lacked a lot of polish on some plays and some poor decision making and kicking letting the Tigers off too easy sometimes.
We always seem to beat ourselves in Tigers games and it’s good to see we didn’t actually do that.

Could not expect more of a back-up hooker - outstanding effort everytime from Randall

Crocker has some nice agro in him and Leo Thompson could be anything, he's a physical speciman with ball skills, reminds me of Marty Taupau.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

I feel like we've finally turned a corner. This was a game we'd traditionally snatch a loss from the jaws of victory our phone the game in because our best player was out.

Also, I loathe to flog a dead horse but I really feel like we're not in this position if Pearce is still at the club. Not just through his incompetent decision making on the field but his negative influence off it, particularly with the younger guys. Even hearing him speak you'd think he was 19.

cant remember the last time we had a game like that where literally everything went our way, boys should definitely go down to wests a throw a sneak 50 in the Dragon Link machine

Croker and Thompson provided a strong one, two punch, Croker just ran straight and hard, Thompson really good footwork, leg speed and an offload which are traits we've not had in our pack for years now

agreed,

The last 2 weeks have been our greatest wins in a while i reckon. Sure the opposition havent played the greatest, our attack looks clunky still but in terms of the energy, the drive, the effort, the enthusiam, the commitment, things that have all been very consistent the last 2 weeks. Thats something we would would rarely see in the past. And to that with alot of your seniors players out too makes it even greater. If the boys can keep that up through out the season i feel more confident in us making the 8 confortably and deservedly as opposed to just scraping into the 8.

 

[Joel-22]

What happened to Klem? With any luck we’ll get Klem, D Saf, Ponga and Sue back next week

The trick is having it 10 weeks from now, too. We've started years with our tails up pretty consistently for a while now.

 

[Zoidberg]

Ok, I would really like Tuala to get a try in the next 20mins

Even when I get nice things, I can’t get really nice things

 

[The Axe of Druss]

Knowles has truely been the best buy for 2022. Our boys look super fit and it shows in our line speed and rapid attack

 

[Old dog]

Very good win with all playing ok, some better or worse than last week but good anyway, two points is two points considering those out injured, especially Ponga and Klem late withdrawals.
Hoy has been bagged especially those that want to find a down in a win, he did ok and his error rate didn’t seem worse than others, dont recall him missing taking a bomb, some on here need to enjoy the win rather than find reasons to not win by more. We weren’t as good as last week but we had no Ponga or Klem.
Looking at the draw I would have been happy with 2 out of first 6 but they have stepped up very well now looking for 4 out of 6
