Message to all tigers players

HT actually does have a point. Why is it that if a player stays down from a high shot, he gets called a cheating grub, yet a player can milk an obstruction penalty or a holding down penalty (both of which happen several times a week) and no-one gives a sh*t?

It is about manning up. I haven't seen anyone milk an obstruction penalty, I've seen the actual penalty but seen milkers fail. Particular remember Scotty Prince doing won against the Broncos last year I think. As for holding down, that has been going on since the dawn of time, but if you mean the offensive player doing shirt holding so the defender can't get up then I agree and hate it everytime I see it. Usually Ennis.

As for Diving it is a grub tactic, so what if you copped it in the head. If you can keep going just keep going. Wanker Ennis did it when playing for the Broncos, copped it, stayed down and didn't move until he got a penalty then gave the team a little wink. I wish we lost that day.

I would have rathered Farah just got on with the game, but then I guess we all wish our respective teams played the game in 100% fairly... none of them do though.

Didn't see the game today so I'll be watching for the replays. I think it is time some of these divers learned a lesson off good ole Rocky

"It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward"

Because most of the time these high shots aren't even that bad, it just not in the spirit of the game to whinge and milk when things aren't going your way.

Its a blight on our game.

The fact that Hybrid Tiger is in support of it is disappointing.

This is the same Hybrid Tiger whos a massive fan of the Serie A right?

I hate players milking penalties, but as it's been said, why is diving any worse than running into decoys to milk an obstruction penalty?

Because its what happens in soccer and its what makes watching the sport a complete pile of sh*t.

Its not what anybody wants to see in Rugby League, regardless of the player or team.

What a disgrace Robbie Farah and the Tigers are.

Tim Sheens is to blame because it's becoming pretty obvious that the merkin is coaching this bullsh*t. Haven't watched a Tigers game this year where at least one of their grubs didn't take a dive.

Never thought much of the Tigers this year because...well to be honest they are canon fodder. Every team would love to meet them in the semi's and they ain't gonna reproduce the fluke that was 2005 any time in the next decade or two.

Farah, you are a grub and a loser of the highest order. You and your scum of a team are turning Rugby League into a joke.

EDIT: Just watched the replay on Fox Sports News. Matai fair dinkum jumped up to block the pass and his hand came down on his SHOULDER!!! If Farah's pass led to a try the grub would have got up and celebrated with his team mates. BLOODY DISGRACE!

What's the point in complaining? Manly won, enjoy that, move on. Bring it up next time the Tigers play Manly and we can bicker over it again. It's a new day.

There are many things a Tigers fan could complain about after todays game but Manly clearly were better and would have won regardless of Benji's poor goalkicking or obvious square up penalties.

The point is it is a blight on the game. It looks ugly, soft and not in the spirit of the game. The other part is it keeps happening by the same team, and even the same player in that team.

 

[Doga]

lol don't you just love Tigers fans coming out and asking to move on. If roles were reversed yoou would not hear the end of it - for decades.

 

[gronkathon]

Well I don't think it was a dive personally. But if others do that is there business.

Insert joke here about Brett Stewarts pants taking a dive after a season lauch and that wraps it up

 

[madunit]

As a Tigers fan I have never and will never condone any 'dogging' in a game. Cheap shots, diving, niggly sh*t in tackles etc.

None of them is worthwhile, good for the game or in good spirit. It's all sh*t and then game is better off without it.

I haven't seen the match but if Farah did dive then that's very disappointing.

Its hard to tell, could go either way i think. I too hope it wasnt a dive but if u look at Farah playing in the past i dont think its in his game.

2 weeks ago against Titans he took one square in the face about 20 out, got up groggy with a bleeding nose and looked semi concussed for 10mins that followed. Didnt play for a penalty, and we didnt get one anyway.

OR it could be because of that play that he got drilled by coaching staff, who basiacly told him to stay down because everyone else does, hence what happend yesterday.

Who knows, but i think based on past plays he deserves the Benifit of the Doubt.

 

[Vic Mackey]

farah probably took a dive and if he did i think its poor form.

however to say he has priors is wrong. against the titans he got a special right on the head and got up to play it groggily. gould then praised him and said all players take dives these days.

its a part of rugby league that does need to get cleaned up imo. after gallens infamous 'wink' to saints players after staying down i thought he should have been cited and suspended. that might have stopped this crap.

 

[[FKN-SIK]]

It's called a disgrace and represents the total opposite of what RL is all about and you supporting it is even worse! Farrah is a f**king diving cheat and should cop a sh*t load for it and so should you for supporting it!

Have you heard of a young dwarf named Jamie Soward?

I remember that too. Perhaps the supercoach got in his ear about it...?

It was Ennis that took a dive playing for the Broncos and then winked at his team mates when they came over to check on him. Summed up his career and life right then.
