Round 3 V Bulldogs

[tripster]

I agree we got the short end but I just thought we were so dominant in the second half, we had more than enough chances to put them away.

True.

One thing we need to be doing is taking the 2 points early in halves. If you get a penalty in front within the first 5 minutes of a half, take the 2. The defense is too fresh and the risk of not getting any points at all is high. It also gives you more possession (you get another set in possession after the kickoff). With a good completion you can compound the advantage of the 2 points.

If we had taken some of the 2 points on offer we would have won.

Tigers have stuck with and are now leading against the Broncos.

Who is reffing the Tigers v Broncos game? He’s excellent.

TIGERS JUST GOT AN OBSTRUCTION IN THEIR FAVOUR BECAUSE THE PLAYER FELL OVER. HOOK WAS RIGHT THEY ARE ENCOURAGING DIVING.

Just expressing my rage at the obstruction.

I was just about to say the same thing. Shame on you James, you should have taken the dive!

Tigers defence is spectacular.

For a tired coach Ivan has his new team looking awesome.

Except their attack is terrible. Not that Brisbane have shown too much attack.

I'd take beating the top 2 from last year including this years prem favourites and giving it to Brisbane over what we've done.

It is a sad thing when we reward diving

It definitely is. So much for all the talk of cracking down on the rulebook.

Oh well you win some you lose some.
One positive to take out of this season so far is that we have not had a single point scored against us in the second half. This will surely make our opposition nervous if manage to be in front at half time.

It's the last piece of the puzzle.

Refs are about to ruin the Tigers v Broncos game

 

[forby]

I see the refs put the whistle away until it decides the game!

 

[tripster]

Honestly NRL is becoming the WWE

 

[mxlegend99]

Tigers lost a game without conceding a try. They have a reason to boo the ref. That was a joke

 

[cain3y]

It's the last piece of the puzzle.

That being said you can not be letting in 20 points in any half of football.

 

[OldPanther]

Tigers were robbed bad.

 

[forby]

But the penalty was correct to the letter of the law. It is the ones that aren’t blown in golden point that make this one look bad.
