Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Newcastle @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[WA Tiger]

Ok...so we're leading 20 -8 with 15 to go....field goal to lock it away 21 - 8 then we convert one with 4 minutes to go 27-8 ...they score a consolation unconverted try in the corner at the hooter....that's what you figured?

That’s Exactly how I figured it Das!
Actually those numbers just popped into my head but glad you showed how it can be done. And the drama yes..no doubt we can’t avoid it..count down 30 minutes

Nervously optimistic...Knights have always been a mongroly uncomfortable side for us. ...but then again that WAS the old us

 

[Das Hassler]

Knights have nothing apart from safety first...gotta step it up now!

OK then...

 

[Tigerm]

A pretty good half, but we’ve lost from here before.
I don’t know how ponga didn’t go off after the head knock on the first try.
Good defence, still a bit clunky in attack, imo.

 

[Das Hassler]

Yeah...both sides came out very conservatively. We have the ammo to step up for the 2nd half and Knights clearly don't..Ponga's frustrated and Best is at his worst so no excuses...this one has to be solidly put away

 

[Benchtiger]

Good defence shown by the boys, attack needs to be straightened up at times but still scoring tries which is a bonus,Knights look a bit off their game, hopefully it stays that way.

 

[WA Tiger]

Galvin is lost isnt he.. 2 on one there and he kicks

 

[simmo1]

This performance from the Knights is worse than anything we've dished up the last 3 years, even the 70 point games. How the f**k did we lose to them in round 1?

 

[WA Tiger]

Fk these short drop kicks…Luai!!

 

[Das Hassler]

More raw than lost I think...Luai gave him a sincere serve for that pass over the left sideline...he's gotta respect the work of the forwards...they earn the money / yardage..halves have to spend it wisely!

 

[WA Tiger]

Thanks Luai..for the no down trow

 

[Pezz70]

Gee Sutton was intent on Newcastle scoring in the last couple of minutes. Pretty starchy defence from the Tigers, Goal kicker needs work

 

[Das Hassler]

Boy the Knights couldnt have gotten a better shake out of the refs

 

[WA Tiger]

7th

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Very frustrating performance but we get the W and first time we’ve beaten the knights in 7 games I think.

plenty to work on

 

[Tiger Ted]

Good win.Deserved to keep knights scoreless.Should win next wk & then a full house at the 8th wonder on a Sunday arvo where we can finally attain 3 consecutive wins

 

[macnaz]

Well apart from 2 points ... that was a seeping herpes sore.. f**king hopeless! The only positive thing they could prove in that game was to keep an opposition scoreless and once again its totally beyond them!
Our halves have been f**king atrocious managing a game , they have both been 2nd grade, Im no Brookes apologist but fmd! can anyone tell me what these 2 have done any better then him ?
Cant believe im so pissed after a win !!

 

[Tigerm]

Were you not entertained hahaha
Any win, is a good win.

Galvin does create a bit, but he takes the wrong option too often. He definitely needs to straighten up his play at least once every game he cooks a try scoring opportunity sliding across the field instead of running straight. Luai contests everything he has a real will to win and it’s definitely rubbed off on the boys.

We’re 7th enjoy it.

 

[Tigerm]

It didn't reach any great heights, but we were in control the whole game, very tradesman like performance and the first time we have beaten them in a while.
Won't complain.
