Match Discussion: Round 20 vs Brisbane @ Suncorp Stadium, Milton

[glockers]

While I agree about trying trying combo, there is some value in giving Madden an extended run. I still have high hopes he could be the long term answer.

I reckon Madden deserves more time in the 7 jersey but I also assume that means Hastings to 13 longer term. At least we get to see if these two work out in those positions.

I read that Brooks injured his calf at training yesterday and may not play again this year. Jock Madden tipped to replace him against the Broncos.

Great news.Hopefully he has played his last game for WT.

Unless he is leaving?

I’d still be keen to give Dooee and Hastings a run?

Well Brooks rightly or wrongly has copped a lot of the blame for the WT demise and failure over the years, it will be interesting to see how the WT go now without him and what happens if they string a number of wins together.

 

[gordsy]

I'd like to see us blood a few young guys and tell who ever is is the halves to go out and have fun. Not like we've got much to lose.

We’re down on quality troops, our outside backs are very ordinary in both attack and defence. While Brooks has his occasional stuff up it’s not all bout him , he’s not got to experience running behind a tough, consistent forward pack. Hard to play quality footy off the back of plays that rarely make the ad line and when they do they take 30 seconds to play the ball.

We are down on quality troops when we are full strength,....

If Madden is leaving we shouldn't play him but I've heard nothing about him leaving.

 

[WA Tiger]

At least if we lose it will be from lack of effort - it usually is isn’t it. Not from a WTF Brooks loss of Momentum…I won’t miss that one where he sprints across field with the ball, toward where he and a straight running forward will meet and then when there’s about a half metre between them he fires a no look bullet pass, that is inevitably dropped. He has a number of these strings to his bow

 

[WA Tiger]

I’m expecting/hoping for a continuation of last week and even better without Brooks.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Surprised that Madden gets a run, would have thought Sheens would have had a say in seeing how Hastings goes at 7 with Doueihi. Then again maybe Sheens is happy with Hastings at 13, meaning Brooks for 2023 perhaps.

Can see Walters and Hoeter having big games tonight simply because that’s what former Tigers typically do.

 

[benched tiger]

I actually don't mind trying Hastings at 13, it's something different, it others another creative option with the halves, some argue that it lessens our forward strength, which maybe true, but considering our position we have nothing to lose.

He is playing half back with a 13 on his jersey, he was predominately the first receiver last week and we virtually played with two 5/8’s.

 

[Pezz70]

Need to swap Kepoa and Naden, Kepoa defence is absolute rubbish

 

[Pezz70]

This could end up being an absolute drubbing, keep turning over the ball on the first or second tackle three times and there’s still 15 to go
In the first half

 

[Pezz70]

Credit to the Tigers to be still in the game after some poor footy. Early turnovers, missed tackles and offloads have put them under the pump but they’ve managed to stay in the fight

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

The broncos are making very easy yards up the guts. Averaging about 50m a set, We'll need to work on that.

Aside from that we're looking pretty creative with the ball, if not with some poor finishing. We've bombed at least 2 tries.

 

[WA Tiger]

Let’s fkn win this!!

 

[Ned Kelly]

New style of tackling. Reach out put your hand on the ball, rip. Tackle. WTF ?
