Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Parramatta @ CommBank Stadium, Parramatta / Burramattagal

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

Awesome defensive commitment in the 1st half. We won't be able to keep it up for 80 mins though. We need to hold the ball. The ref is killing us in the penalties and 6 agains. We need to get into the grind.

On the positive side, last year the game would have been over by now.

So that is about 1 and a half games in a row of the type of commitment required to compete. Hopefully Benji had finally found the secret that installs this consistency

 

[Tigerm]

I thought Seyfarth and Fainu were huge.
Great defensive effort by the team, not a lot of ball, hope they got something left, for the second half.

 

[Das Hassler]

We have our first real football side for 12 or 13 years...lots of work in progress but this group know...or leastways have learned their job

We are giving away a lot of penalties because we would have trained all week to get up quick to shut them down which is wirking but when it 30⁰+ and no possession they cut corners in attempt to still shut them down.
As you said mate, I think if we hold the ball and complete our sets we'll win this, do the opposite and it's gonna be a long arvo.

f**k YEAH!!!!!!!!!

 

[Perth Tiger]

That feels so good. I thought the red was going to screw us again after the siren but that was a great win

 

[Tiger Ted]

Great win.The incompetent ref did everything he could to get Parra the win.Geez it feels good to finally have a decent footy side who display resilience for 80 mins to support.Go the tigers !

 

[Tiger Ted]

Extend Galvins contract to 10 yrs.

 

[Nutz]

That will do me. What a performance. Beating possibly a top 4 and a top 8 two weeks in a row means our culture has changed.
They really worked hard for each other and defended to a standstill.
Woooooohoooooo

 

[Pezz70]

Extend Galvins contract to 10 yrs.

10 years and 3 weeks because the young fella will get a holiday for that hip drop. Defence was massive today parra had 68% of possession in the first half and the boys defended really well. Much better standard of footy

 

[Tigerm]

Great win, no bad player, great defensive effort, the new signings were huge, Galvin will be special for us.
Bud didn’t get on the park?

 

[Das Hassler]

This is what I started to write as the 2nd half was kicking off....

If the eels win this it'll be ..as is so often the case gutho pulling something out of his arse...

f**kin PHEW!!!

 

[Perth Tiger]

We did that with 15 men. Bud and AJ didn’t get on at all

 

[Tigerm]

We are officially coming 6th and the view is magnificent.
Hahaha

Shit, I forgot about AJ, even better.

Heart attack stuff. Just a fine for Galvin please. Cut us some slack for once NRL.

I reckon he'll get 4 weeks. Carrigan got that for breaking Hasting's ankle a few years ago. They looked very similar, albeit Galvin is smaller is Tualungi wasn't badly injured thankfully. If he gets any less that'll be a bonus.

The way he handled it was awesome. He was clearly rattled when he did it, but worked it out in his head while in the bin. Then once he got back on he paid the team back for their exceptional work while he was off. We lifted several gears at that point and never looked like losing, except for when the ref tried to rob us at the end.

I know we'd burnt our challenge but WTF is the bunker for if not to over rule clangers? At least that's what Annesley said last time that happened to us.

What a win! Man I can get used to that. Be interesting to see how we go in Galvin's absence, and who we use.

 

[Tigerm]

Was that Parra penalty at the end legit?
