Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Knights @ Scully Park

[Marshall_magic]

10 minutes of excellence and 70 minutes of absolute shite.

 

[Tiger05]

Geez - we were poor in patches today and our defence wasn't good enough. That was a tough loss.

 

[magpie4ever]

Dream run comes to an end, hey.

Really to be a very good side you don't drop games like that.

Anyone, always next week.

 

[Clifferd]

Yuck

That was tigers of old

Really think we’re missing Packer, Lawrence

 

[glockers]

How soon is Lawrence back? Packer?

Packer really is the the forward leader and Lawrence just creates a threat on the edge which we need.

I also think its worth considering Watson Heleta at fullback. Thompson to the wing.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

The options on the 5th in last 10 to 15 minutes were shit.

And aren't our wingers fantastic at running in, in defence and leaving their opposite unopposed.

Had a chance for a couple of field goal attempts but no. Lets face it though, it should have been a bigger score if they's kicked more conversions.

So the hype is over and next week we start again.

 

[Disgruntled]

A couple of new wingers please.
Rochow has been impressive, what a tackle.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

easily our worst performance this year. Actually our only poor performance this year. It would have been good to win one in those circumstances but we didn't deserve it.

Nofo's defence is not up to this team's standards and he cost us the game. He needs to go to reggies and we need to think other options.

I don't think there is anything good that came out of that game. No positives at all. Best to consign it to the scrap heap of history and move on to next week.

We probably had the crowd behind us today but my question is; would that be the same result at Campbelltown? I know we planned this game months ago but with hindsight and the position we find ourselves in on the table, I'd have loved our home game being a 'home' game.

 

[simmo05]

Good loss to have. Unlucky to lose. We missed Packer, Lawrance (suprisingly), Liddle for most of the game, Et the same. Bring on Fonua please

 

[macnaz]

Although he didnt lose us the game ...fmd MWZ is the Keith Galloway of wingers.... he is a complete and utter f**king pillow . For the size of the guy he is weak as piss , doesnt step , doesnt break a tackle , slow .... he offers absolutely zero !

The crowd behind us in Newcastle's back yard ? Failed event if there ever was one... we sacrificed a home game for that abortion

They kept kicking it to him because he doesn't offer enough. They want the easy first tackle.

 

[Tigers Tale]

Yeah, I made the comment on the crowd based on the colours walking into the ground. I really thought the refs were pitiful with the ruck. Been more penalties this year than ever yet I saw four tunnel balls by the Knights go unpenalised...crowd might have influenced the refs.

 

[magpie4ever]

Let's face it, 10 points up with around 10 to go, place in the top 3 and you blow it - need any more motivation.

They could have stay 4 points away from the chasing pack, now we have every bastard up our arse.

 

[Clifferd]

Fonua in for one of the wingers next week, seriously he couldn’t play any worse than the two we had tonight

 

[Rhyno]

You’se put in a good effort tonight boys

 

[The Charlatan]

You’se put in a good effort tonight boys

Owen six, merkin.

 

[benched tiger]

When will Nofo stay on his man ? While it’s easy to be critical of him the replays show Benji and Marsters both leaving their man creating the overlap time and again,Benji starts this motion by not having confidence in Rochow on his inside.

He got turned inside out for one try. It was f**king hopeless from Nofo.

The very same try where Fitzgibbon laid on a pass that would make Tom Brady proud.
