Match Discussion: Round 3 vs Warriors @ Campbelltown Stadium

[Tigerm]

Is Tuilagi injured? I thought he was one of our best the last 2 games, now he isn't in the top 24?

 

[Old Time Tiger]

I'd promote the Jersey Flegg fullback to 1st grade, at least he shows some fight.

Failed HIA on the weekend. With the short turnaround he wasn't considered for selection this week.

Starford To'a named to debut, replacement for Jimmy the Jet.

The kid is fkn talented. Warriors are not currently known for their defense so I hope he can show he is FG quality. No player has really been able to lock down a centre position in years - fingers crossed this kid can step up

 

[Tiger05]

He is starting on the wing. Good luck to him.

Garner in the centres? Sheensie must have snuck into the selection tent

 

[Pezz70]

I see they have named Hastings in the 6 jumper? Have I missed something?

Good to see Liddle back and Tamou and Garner finally getting a run?

Puss side we’ll be lucky if we don’t get 50 put on us. Pretty sure it’s going to be a to nil drubbing. I’m tipping 40-0

 

[Tigerm]

It’s certainly gives your health a test to follow the WT’s.

I think we have been the better side for most of the first half, kicks are costing us, we kick straight to Reece and we we can’t catch there bombs (again).

 

[BrotherJim05]

That Luciano decision was bs. Refs are really doing everything they can to stop Tigers from winning. Media love bashing us too much, they would have to literally re-write 50% of the articles and talking points they have for next week.

Really liking what I'm seeing from To'a and Gildart. We now have to make a decision whether we go with the Tigers gameplan and not give them any more ball to score tries, or do what good teams do and give them more ball to score tries.

Tough decision for our halves

 

[Mr_Raditch]

Liddle's made a massive difference. Tamou's first stint was excellent as well.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Really the worst two teams in NRL right on display here. We are worst of the two. Will be a miracle if we don't get the spoon

 

[Pezz70]

Brooks is done, no way he can go on running our show. Dane Laurie needs a stint in Reggie’s. Liddle finally kicked from dummy half, he looked good and we were going forward with him on the park. So sick off Brooks not being held accountable, he need to take control
At the end we had plenty of chances at their end and just played panicked footy, exactly where your half needs to show some composure. He can’t be in the side next week

 

[Mr_Raditch]

That second half & especially the last 20mins was set up perfectly for Brooks to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Instead we got panicked passes & no direction. He's copped a lot of criticism, much of it unfairly. He failed miserably tonight. Any half with over 150 games of experience should have been able to ice that game. If Hastings wasn't suspended my half's next week would be Madden & him. Without Hastings though, there's no other option.

 

[Pezz70]

Not one structured or set play in that last 15 when we were attacking their line it's just rubbish, Brooks should've been calling the plays instead they were trying to play some sort of touch footy shit, there wasn’t a line run, wasn’t a ball out the back it was under 12’s shit. I’m not a big rap for Madge these days but no coach sends a side out prepared to put up that muck, this is on our organisers

Just play Peachey at no 6 I don’t want Brooks in the side

 

[Tigerm]

Yeah, it was a game of should’ve, could’ve if we would’ve.

Brooks has to go.

 

[Pezz70]

Another thing that peed me off was when Madden picked up the ball on our line and ran 70 odd, Laurie was next to him and just gave up in support, I hope he is injured otherwise it’s just super poor play

 

[WA Tiger]

Gildart thought he was a Brown brother with last flick pass over the sideline. Didn’t have the flow bro. Apart from that I missed most of the game but I think I saw enough, and yea I’ve said it all before.

 

[Tiger05]

That was a special loss.
