Round 20 v Cowboys

[gronkathon]

Massive game in the context of the season.

Somehow it has me less confident

 

[Ron's_Mate]

If they are going to do anything in the finals they need to show it tonight. Ellis back is a big plus. I'm tipping the Tigers to win.

I'm not confident at all. We've been all over the place this season.

Huge game but then again so is every game going forward.

 

[Vic Mackey]

This is usually the time that we start making a run for it. Don't think I get that vibe from us this year though. Happy to be prove wrong

 

[Tiger05]

Great game so far. Robbie, Fulton, Woods and Heighno are all playing great.

Injuries to Lawrence, Moltzen and Sirro might kill us.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

This is f**king rubbish. 20 missed tackles.

Everyone will blame injuries but we defended like rubbish from minute one.

And someone please get rid of that useless prick Reddy, he is KILLING us.

 

[the black v]

WTF is the mid field bomb crap all about. I'm ok if some of our players are actually going to contest the friggin thing. It seems this is the only game plan we have anymore.

Thats all golden boot Benji has got now.

Exactly.. Yes we had injuries but the same shit from Farah and Benji when they needed to make the right plays.

 

[Tiger05]

It was a great effort and the typical whinging on here is so f**ken gay.

Marshall and to a lesser extent Farah f**ked up through. Marshall dogged it out there and Farah just didn't execute.

That team needs to understand not every game of football is a touch football game. How about holding onto the f&*king ball and make tackles.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

Tough night with injuries, but that D was soft.

Cows can't win it this year. They dont defend well enough either.

 

[Fordy20]

I doubt it. Sirro's been out before, Lawrence wasn't setting the world on fire this year and Moltzen is perennially crap anyway.

It means that Ryan will have to go to fullback, Reddy moves to centre and we finally get to see a new winger in the side, like Grant. With Sirro out it means we could see Humble back at halfback or Miller might be given another sniff to prevent him from leaving the club.

 

[macnaz]

I agree Fordy.. But Reddy can f**k off, he is useless

 

[macnaz]

Its a sad exit for Sirro but i would have given him the flick anyway. Im not sure if it was a directive from the coach to stay away from the ball or not but if he isnt going to get involved it is pointless having him there.

Yes, let's all be over the moon with the great effort. :roll:

Considering injuries they had a good dig but it was the same old problems that we see every week:

Non existant defense
No structure in attack
Piss poor kicking game

Nothing has changed but of course everyone will blame injuries. It is a f**king joke that this team is now battling to make up the numbers in 8th spot.

Same as every other half who has partnered Benji, with the exception of Lui.

Obviously a coaching directive. Working wonders...

 

[Tiger05]

hybrid - you are a f**ken whinger. That was a top effort.

Benji and Robbie let us down because they didn't step up and come up with the critical plays. They didn't though not make the crucial plays - they made mistakes when they shouldn't.

Still that was I think our best effort of the season and if your not proud of that you are a f**ken tool.

 

[madunit]

No one is denying the effort was great.

But the defence was disjointed, only a few sets saw our defence keep the Cowboys in their own half for 5 tackles. Thats just not good enough.

Kicking game was the worst I've ever seen it

Kick chases again, for the umpteenth time this year were non-existant. Only Ryan and Fulton appear to chase kicks.

So many basics are not being executed properly at all.

I never said it wasn't a top effort, you moron. They battled well and everyone should be proud of the effort, except for a couple of players.

But you are so hellbent on defending Sheens and the club at every opportunity that you are blind to the issues that we see every week. Regardless of injuries the same issues were present when it was 17 on 17 i.e piss poor kicking game, criminal use of the bench, poor defense, lack of structure in attack etc. etc.

Injuries will now be a convenient excuse for a season that has been piss poor since round one.
