‘Needs miles on the clock’: Matty Johns reveals home truth about Tigers hero’s evolution
‘Needs miles on the clock’: Matty Johns reveals home truth about Tigers hero’s evolution

Very wrong wasnt heReading that article I'd suggest Johns could use the occasional reality check as much as anyone...he's been doing everything he can using his position in the media to shit on this club and prise Brooks away....sickening at times watching and listening to him and his similarly smirking condescending buddy Fittler
I think while we can’t get super cited about our prospects after one win, we do need to put it into context about the result?A few points,
1) It' was one game and a game we were closing to losing.
2) Hastings probably needs mental health help, nothing wrong with that we just have to manage him differently to others
3) I would be angry if I had to put up with f**kwits like DCE all the time too.
Good win, lets look for a good performance this week to show consistency. I don't care so much if we win as long as we show effort and heart.
100% agree. Love the fact that in the majority of comments from the eels camp, I think the most respect we got was "welllll, I just think we didn't respect them", irony at its best.I think while we can’t get super cited about our prospects after one win, we do need to put it into context about the result?
We went into that game 0&5 against a top 4 side that was being looked at as a premiership contender? No one gave us a chance?
For me, what it showed was, the team is capable (and always has been) to mix it with any team in the comp, why they don’t normally is beyond me?
I guess I can only put it down to one player (Hastings) can make a difference, like in many sides? Anyway, this week should show us more?
Though we did similar with Tommy's game last year100% agree. Love the fact that in the majority of comments from the eels camp, I think the most respect we got was "welllll, I just think we didn't respect them", irony at its best.
Now to be fair, we probably didn't deserve a lot of respect going into that game, and yes the eels made mistakes, but a lot of that can be put down to our enthusiasm that was shown for the majority of the 80mins.
Won't mean a lot if we don't back it up this week though. But if you can lift under the spectacle the eels put on with the old boys being rolled out, massive crowd etc, then there is no reason why knocking over the rabbits should be any harder. We need to be much better yes, but 80mins of effort plays goes a hell of a long way.
Hopefully he starts playing like a first grader then?So according to the Sunday Tele today,
David Nofoaluma has said; "I’m not a reserve grade player". - He opens up on his ‘scary’ concussion battle - Why he was dumped to reserve grade and if he needs to earn back the trust of his teammates.
Story states that, senior players wanted him stood down because he was drinking while recovering from head-knocks. “It was in-house, Nofoaluma said after getting through 80 minutes on Saturday. It was one of those things that happened. I took it with both hands. It was disappointing. I’m back now and I want to enjoy my footy.”
Was it no good?We might have to wait a while, judging by his performance in the first half for the Magpies.
Thanks Mac, great story from one of my favourite old Tigers, gee he was good.
