Time for Pou and Gronk to come up with the excuses, get to work merkins!!

We are a development club. Just need to frontload the efforts and we win

 

[hineyrulz]

lol Gutho.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

We went short!! f**k yeah!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

The guys we let go combine to get us back into it.

Both been poor in defence

 

[Eelementary]

We went short!! f**k yeah!!

I'm not sure what the thinking was behind that...

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I’m not overly concerned because if we hold onto the ball, we win. What is a worry is this complacent approach, thinking we’ll put 50 on and dropping the ball.

f**ken Parraball is in our DNA

 

[strider]

We went short!! f**k yeah!!

It would have worked if some merkin hadnt drawline a sideline there

 

[Eelementary]

Matterson made a real difference once he came on, imo.

 

[hineyrulz]

We need the calming influence of Jakob Arthur.

 

[Jake the snake]

Not at all. Our support play is very poor, as is our scramble in defence.

Woeful first half. We wouldn’t have to scrabble if our fence was half decent. All in all we look poorly coached against a very very average side

 

[hineyrulz]

f**ken Parraball is in our DNA

Failure is in our DNA. It’s what this club does.

 

[Parra Pride]

This bitch said the thing.

 

[Tooooks]

Yes we are playing lazy. My worry is Storm, Roosters, Panthers never play lazy.

True for the most part, but Tigers were beating the Storm in round one by 12 points very early in the second half.

 

[Suitman]

We don't defend well against teams that play Parraball against us.
That's all the Tigers are doing.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I'm not sure what the thinking was behind that...

Probably more of the same attacking mindset Or a bit of panic. But I think the short kick is usually the best option.

 

[hineyrulz]

Matterson made a real difference once he came on, imo.

Should be starting and @ 13, it’s his best spot.

You love Matterson. Id always start him at lock. Have him use his skills. Great offloaded. If we had a smart coach we'd use him like Yeo is used at Penrith. Matterson has more skill but he use him as a battering ram

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Time for Pou and Gronk to come up with the excuses, get to work merkins!!

Excuses for what? I had $20 on the Tigers and $100 on us to win the comp. I could win both bets. Put the razor blades away ffs

 

[T-Boon]

I know that tackle from Laurie on Guth was impressive but it is really a cat play on a defenseless player.
There are too many reasons in the game to base your whole game plan around bombs.
I say a ball caught on the full should be rewarded like with a 7 tackle set or something.

That was a Storm with almost all their spine out.
