Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Sea Eagles @ Lottoland

[Old Time Tiger]

After watching the reserves yesterday, I wouldn't have Tui.

Grant & Gamble didn't play yesterday meaning that there was doubt about someone. Joel Caine said at start of ISP game that Gamble was on standby for 1st grade. Grant would come in to the 17 for Rochow'.

They do not have to name the final 17 until an hour b4 kick off isn't that right?

We will know soon enough

 

[Old Time Tiger]

1. Corey Thompson
2. David Nofoaluma

Much more balanced bench there.

 

[Tigerm]

Rocco is a big loss, especially on top of losing Packer earlier in the week.

But at good test of depth.

Yep, these are the games that will show us where we are and how far we may go this season.

We've all said we have the depth, now is the day to show it.

Good ol channel 9.....
Spot on as always lol

 

[Tigerm]

Luke for PM
Kev a chance for GG
A perfect half of footy

 

[Vozzy]

Best thing now is if we are 30 ahead 60th min can rest Benji now. Reynolds doesn't have pressure now when he gets out there. I will be happy if we hold them to 1 try now. Just complete sets and try will come at the end when manly will be throwing it around. Don't need to play footy in own half like against parra and gift them 3 tries

 

[Clifferd]

I only got to watch the last 20 mins of the game but jesussss Christ.

I’ll have to watch the whole game again to give a proper run down. But Brooks MOTM again

Is he the most inform half in the game atm?

 

[Tiger05]

Brooks and Benji are both up there with the best form halves in the comp. The only other guy I can think of is Maloney.

How good were we out there. I know we had a couple of poor moments but we just out-muscled and out-skilled them today.

 

[Tigerm]

Might be time to learn that song

Impressive victory

f**k, I love beating Manly

 

[magpie4ever]

Bloody impressive.

Posters wanted 3 out of 6, and we got 5 (and easily could have been 6).

 

[magpie4ever]

Liddle - very good.

 

[Tiger05]

On the negative side Reynolds needs to improve significantly.

 

[Tigerm]

Liddle - very good.

Yep, didn't really see him play LY and was amazed at the hype around him, but he looks the goods.

 

[magpie4ever]

On the negative side Reynolds needs to improve significantly.

Geez, give him a break. Back from a hammy (good to see him get a 20 minute hitout), the improvement will be significant.

 

[Vozzy]

First game back he is fine.

 

[Tigerm]

On the negative side Reynolds needs to improve significantly.

Shit, you are being a bit hard on him.

 

[Tiger05]

Geez, give him a break. Back from a hammy (good to see him get a 20 minute hitout), the improvement will be significant.

Let's hope so. I like the guy but he needs to improve a lot to be good for us in the bench spot. I reckon Liddle can improve a lot. He had a fair few mistakes.

Atm though our spine looks good. If Liddle and Reynolds fire and the other 3 can keep playing well we look good.

How good was Kev ? I can't believe how well he is playing.

So called experts showed up again,you could sense their dread about their selections as the game went on finding excuses for Manly rather than giving credit to the WT effort.

 

[benched tiger]

That first half would have to go close to being the best 40minutes the WT have ever played.
