Someone got their knickers in a knot

You are a freaken idiot. Coming into a tigers forum after losing fairly and squarely and crying like a little bitch. Then you come on and say we cheated.

f**k off c**k sucker.

One of the worst games I've seen, will take the two points but we are lucky parra were so woeful. Woods man of the match for mine. Nobody else came close. Moses has a hell of a lot of work to do!

Oops forgot Woods. Was best on paddock by a long way.

If parra don't drop the ball in their halves 4 times in the last 10 minutes I doubt we win

Hard to know who to give points too today. I thought Richards was quiet poor actually, I know his kick looked spectacular, but really a better winger would have scored themselves and not needed to kick.

3 - taupau (his runs in his second stint got us on the front foot)
2 - Simona (looked dangerous, made a clean break from nothing and set up Richards try)
1 - Lovett (thought he defended well)

3 Richards - won us the game, pure and simple
2 Taupau - his last stint gave us the impetus for the late charge
1 Woods - close to, if not the no 1 prop in the game at the moment

honourable mentions: Simona, Sironen, Tedesco.

Terrible game in terms of entertainment, very dour and conservative from both teams.

Good team effort today no matter how scrappy they hung in. Thankfully though Parra gave up and we could score a couple of late tries.

Just a side note, after 5 games we have only conceded 73 points. Is this a record for us? I can't remember us conceding so few points early in the season.

he won the game for the tigers.
- classic richards kickoff after the eels try that causes a knock on. without it the first half try might not have happened.
- setup two tries one with an insane amount of skill
- scored another

Will accept the 2 points but what a dour game,one out football and a kick on the last maybe a safe game plan but it does not make a great spectacle.I understand the team playing to dirrections but surely the backline can set up for one play durring a set,even more so when the opposition had to play forwards in their backline.
3-Richards

Hence my Poor coaching and Poor captaining comment. Poor Chunk doesnt understand the game so he couldn't see it . Parramatta played their best attack from broken play , so instead of kicking to the sideline and resetting from a scrum we just continued to give them safe predictable kicks to return. In there 20 just put up bombs on the last . It was just plain ordinary and lacked creativity.

I don't have a 3 - 2 - 1 until I get around to watching the replay.

It was ugly, it was frustrating but the result was good.

I am seeing little segments of growth each week and that is good. Lovett proved to be a significant upgrade on Santi. The reduced playing time of Sue and Ava was odd but may be part of a bigger plan. The centres were vastly improved as was Brooks first contact in tackles. Kev N had a pedestrian yet highly effective game in doing the hard yards and in defence.

I see signs of growth every week and at the moment that is enough. The Warriors will be a different animal on Saturday though

Everyone in the 17 gets 0.35 points for mine. A shit game but their defensive effort was enormous and allowed us to break the game open in the last ten minutes.

Parra couldn't hang on to the pill and our defense frustrated them into some desperate football.

We've conceded the least amount of points alongside Newcastle with 73 points. Consider our games include the two grand finalists and one team that has started the year well in the Eels. Massive effort by JT and his team to turn our defensive lapses around.
