Rd.21 v Tigers

[Whino]

Tigers play the Bulldogs this week, so you would think the "losing after playing us" will continue.

There should be a bit of spice in this one with Galvin etc.

Unlikely, but I would love the Tigers to upset the Dogs.

The thing with cleary I said is he stopped really getting involved for 15 minutes in the second half not that he was bad or had a quiet game. Its a subtle distinction i know.

I'l need to watch the game again - but what time of the game are we talking here?
Were we in the grind, bringing the ball off our own line? Or were we on the attack?

If we were just going set for set and playing in between the 30m lines, I'm not too concerned with Cleary not touching the ball. We want quick service to our back 5 to get over the advantage line fast. And we're better off running forwards off Yeo than Cleary in this instance, as Yeo creates more doubt - he's actually a chance of running from that position on the field - while Cleary is clearly just a distributer.

If we had periods of red zone footy and Cleary wasn't getting his hands on the ball, that would be a different story.

Exactly. If or when we are up by 30 in games going into the finals its a good cahce for nath to take a back seat for a bit and let talagi take a bit more control. Invaluable for him to get a bit more experience leading the team around just incase its required at some point.

Hes got such a good long boot and he should be doing more long kicking to ease the oressure on nath anyway.

Talagi should spend the next 7 or 8 weeks practising 40/20s around the clock at training. No team would expect him to pull the pin on a 40/20 on tackle 3 or 4 in a finals game. He has the boot to land them.

Much harder for nath to kick them as teams are so aware of his ability to nail them and are on high alert.

You've probably nailed the reasons it's just something I've noticed. We probably win by 50 if hes involved more but thats not really a big deal.

Talagi should absolutely be kicking more.

If Nathan isn't putting up a spiral or floater Blaize should be doing all the mid field bombs.

He hits them with a monster trajectory which let's the chase arrive with the ball.

There should be a bit of spice in this one with Galvin etc.

Unlikely, but I would love the Tigers to upset the Dogs.

They'll put in a shift, but will be lucky to score more than 6.

It could be worse. I said on the main thread yesterday there was no way that the Titans were coming back into the game.

Jarome Luai delivers first barb to Lachlan Galvin before Tigers claim stunning upset

Lachlan Harper

It was dubbed the Lachlan Galvin Cup pre-game, and it delivered with the Tigers claiming a shock 28-14 upset win over the Bulldogs.

All the talk was about how Jarome Luai would approach Galvin after the 20-year-old walked out on the Tigers mid-season.

The fireworks came forth early when Galvin was penalised for a dangerous tackle on Luai in the 10th minute.

Coming out from the Tigers' end, Luai tried to get on the outside of Galvin, who had a hold of his shirt.

Galvin then slid and brought down the Tigers' five-eighth with his body, taking out Luai's legs.

Luai stood over the Dogs youngster and let him know about it.

"There it is, Luai vs Galvin, and there's a little bit there between the two former teammates," Cooper Cronk said on Fox League.

"Watch the sportsmanship here, mud flying everywhere, Luai in his face, game on."

Minutes later, the Tigers struck the first blow with former Bulldog Jeral Skelton scoring in the corner.

Jahream Bula then extended the lead in the 20th minute.

By half time, the Tigers were leading 20-4 after a double to Skelton.

Jacob Kiraz was the first to cross in the second half and it looked like it was game on.

Emotion then started to spill over when Alex Seyfarth threw the ball at Max King, gifting a penalty.

Only seconds later, Seyfarth was then sin-binned for a high shot.

It looked like it would be a pivotal moment in the game, but a combination of Bulldogs errors and quality defence kept the premiership contenders at bay.

Adam Doueihi kicked a penalty goal before Seyfarth returned following a high shot from Stephen Crichton. The Dogs' skipper was put on report after Taylan May slipped and then failed an HIA.

Samuela Fainu scored after a suspect pass from Luai to make it 28-8 with eight minutes left.

Josh Curran collected a consolation try for the Bulldogs, but it was all celebrations for the Tigers at full time.

That was lovely. Love seeing the Dogs taken down a peg. Well done Tigpies.

Hopefully that earns Benji a few more years grace for the lolz.
