Nice work ref

[simon says]

Not only has the video ref fu.cked us.Before Saints scored they got a repeat six,when Wilson SUPPOSEDLY played the ball on the 5th tacke.

Really its a joke.,Wlson didnt move,they kicked tha ball into him,and Saints get a repeat six.

When are we going to get a decision that goes our way.This game is OVER.........

Yeah , look i believe things have gone against us again. But good teams get through these things and we can't. We have a horrendous injury toll, not getting any favours from video and normal refs but most of all, at this point in time, we are just not good enough. That has to be the worst kicking game i have ever seen, if we tried to send it to Saints men on the full we wouldn't have been able to do it, yet today, well, we just couldn't miss. We are all hopeful of the improved Tigers of this year, but injuries have cruelled us so far. I can't wait till we actually have a chance to have our selected side (most players available for selection) take the field. In saying all that, you have to give Saints credit, they were clinical and just put the Tigers away on gaining good ground, quick play the balls, and finding the green stuff when they kicked.

I can't see the Tigers making the 8 this year. I also wonder how people that thought we went pretty well against the Cowboys last week are feeling now? Mediocre last week and got a win , mediocre today and got spanked. On a half amusing note, i heard Warren Smith say on fox the Tigers were lucky with a certain call. We should all go out and pray, we got lucky with something in the 5th round in the 62nd minute, woo hoo!!!!!

I'm a dragons supporter and I think you guys were dudded with those two decisions. Also the pass from Head to Hornby for Coopers try was forward as well.

Not too sure if they would have mattered in the end though but I guess now we'll never know.

I can certainly sympathise with you as we had heaps of dodgy decisions go against us last year and injuries as well.

It's not enjoyable is it?

Forget blaming the ref today.... no matter how warranted it is.
We sucked today and we sucked bigtime...plain as the nose
on ur face.

 

[HappyTiger]

Yep those decisions didnt help us.But at the same time i dont think the score was undeserved.St George were great and we just couldnt match it with them today.We will be back. ;-)

 

[daslacker]

Two vitial decisions IMO

1st the no try to miles.This is the stupidest rule in the game.
I can't believe the nrl are that stupid to pass this rule.

2nd wilson didn't play at the ball.

The 3rd isn't vital cause the game was over,the forward pass.
Saints score under the posts.

The best team won and still would have won but
the scoreline would've been different

 

[jirskyr]

We just didn't play well enough. That's about it, all across the park.

Just look for a healing bye then the Eagles Anzac Day.

 

[SouthernTiger]

we sucked today But no more than last week. Now people realise why some of us were critical last week. Same problems. We have no go forward. Our defence routinely lets sides break the advantage line. Im a Sheens supporter but if he keeps picking Patterson Im going to lose support very fast. If I hear someone say that Skandalis should be picked for Origin, city or otherwise, Im going to scream. St George had 4 better front rowers out there today. I actually think its time for Skando to go back to the bench. He is simply making no impact as a starting prop. This is his worst season for the club so far. Gibbs again was the best forward out there. Graham must be dropped to the bench. I would go with heignington. At least he has leg drive. Johnny Wilson, who Im a big fan, as had a very poor start to the season. Whats happened to his defence. He has all of a sudden become very hesitant. Dump reynolds. He does not know how to service his backline. Halatau was good. the only who looked difficult to tackle. Sattler tried hard but is not a game breaker.


very ordinary

i wouldnt say halatau had a good game.

the only ones that had good games were hodgson, fitzhenry and graham.

everyone else didnt turn up to play.

thank god for the bye.

 

[daslacker]

I wouldn't say fitzy had a good game.They made
easy metre's off him all day.

Graham tried hard but he isn't what we need in the
2nd row

[steven_tiger]

graham did try hard and looked dangerous early on. he will find his feet. he is quality.

i disagree about fitzy. i thought he did well. made some good metres ( not as many as the dragons) and pulled off some good tackles.

 

[jilliby kitty]

today we have every right to whinge.if your creuled for 4 calls like that before half time you can only say tony "darcy lawler" archer.we were never a chance after that against a potent attacking side like staints.

Strange you should say dump Reynolds, everytime he got the ball looking to shift it he had no runners, they were 10 metres behind him. Lets all be honest, we were doing it tough b4 Miles got injured but once Elford had to go to wing, and Deno to centres, we were up the creek without a paddle. I hardly think you can blame Reynolds for that.

 

[SouthernTiger]

Reynolds is not a bad footballer but in all honesty he doesnt offer us what we need. Halatau was the only player who ran the ball with force. Graham didnt play that bad it is simply that we need a hard running back rower. It is something he cant offer. i would go for either harrison or heignington as both offer a bit of size. I wouldnt mind seeing viane back but he doesnt seem to be in sheens plan so far this year. I may have been a bit critical on Reynolds because playing behind that pack even Johns would look ordinary. There must be a forward in either Premier League side who can run the ball harder than Patterson or Skandalis. It was painful today to see us average 23 metres for every set of 6 whilst the dragons nearly always made 50 metres.

Why drop Grahem? I have said it before, even though i like the bloke and nobody can fault his loyalty, but does O'Neill offer any penetration in attack? If you are going to bring in a worker that gets the hard yards why have 2 of them with O'Neill? I think Grahem is starting to find his feet (all be it, slowly) But he can offer something in attack that O'Neill can't. Yes he stays wide, but thats what he always has done and that is what we bought, nobody can expect him to change, just like they don't expect Buckets to.

 

[Trollhammaren]

What a frustrating game. Good ol' Tigers at our glorious worst!!! *sigh*. Not one good player out there, and those decions are really accumulating aren't they? SERENITY NOW!!!!!

At least we'll be allright next weekend :?

 

[Southernsaint]

The first "no try" was unlucky. It happened right in front of us & everyone had conceeded the 4 points.

However, good sides would have come back from that, Wests Tigers didn't. The better side won on the day. At least the Tiges will finish with some silverware...

It wasn't a game For The Ages...

Cheers,
Ben S.

Bryce Gibbs had a good game as well - he came up fast and hard in defence and his hit-ups were the best in our squad.
