Yep very well said mate. When was the last time we had a full back brave enough to tackle a front rower who has run 40 meters down field already and had the skill to tackle them clean?Oh lastly Mybe is playing well. caughtmany high balls missed one and let one bounce. Returned well and stopped a sure try by Hastings as well as two runaways.
Too many piggy backs for tigers to win.What a joke was the early penalty against Molo for a terrific front on tackle. That was a ref looking for something, even a genuine top tackle.
8 - 1 penalty count.
6 again 3-1 I understand.
Starigh forward escort by Brooks on Lomax. Bunker said no. Last bomb was clearly touched by Tigers winger. The Bunker bloke said ‘no touch’ like he really believes it. Yeah yeah. Everyone knew it was touched by Tigs player. No way McGuire hip dropped Suli. In fact as he lost his footing he was trying to miss Leilua’s leg which had been placed sideways by Leila. That really heralded what was to happen from there?
Did the Dragons get payback today after Hook’s criticism last week.

It seems coached. It's almost like Hook has taken Mary's game plan and decided he can improve on it. However, we all know that even a better version of it won't prevent them from running out of gas last in the year.Yes he really puts in doesnt he..as I said on here last week both our centres need earlier ball....one criticism I have of Suli 99% of the time when he receives the pill he cuts back inside to where the defense are waiting...would just like to see him run a bit more towards the sideline...having said that hes been a revelation in our backline
Leilua moved of fthe mark and still was allowed to run by Gerrard Shittin.Frustrating watching but great to see us grind out another hard fought win and now three on the trot.
Hook and the fellow coaching staff have done a great job turning the defence around as over the past 3 weeks we've gone from the worst defence in the comp to one of the best in terms of points conceded.
That McGuire 'hip drop' was complete bs and Leilua is a grub for laying down and then playing on for another 20 mins.
On the subject of Leilua, how many times does he get to hit the ball up without being called held and how many times does he have to knock it on before the refs call knock on? FMD
We're now equal sixth on points and 2 points out of the top 4 when many including our own forum members were thinking we'd get the spoon!
Big Game against Melbourne next week but for now the Saints juggernaut rolls on and we're three from three
OH WHEN THE SAINTS
In attack he is a one directional ineffective attacking centre - always steps off his left foot away from his winger???Moses Suli...
18 carries for 190 meters and 85 post contact meters...
Just imagine the damage he could do if we could give him a little more time and space...
Just watched the presser and Hook gave the Hunt, Amone, Mbye and Sullivan a wrap as the spine so I hope that's a clue for next week and this is the team we get.Now I am not sure if I am confident to put Sloan in at 1 against Storm of all matches but there should be another swap now that we can stick with
1.Mbye
6. Sullivan - no nerves with this guy, will bring dimension in halves
7. Hunt
9. McCullough - needs to be phased out soon though but will need his tackles against the Storm
11. Bird
14. Amone
Not too radical but I think Sullivan came in and has done more than Junior in that one game.
Would be good to see someone else take pressure off Hunt, on last tackle kicks. He can’t do it all alone, then gets rushed, gassed and makes errors.Can they practice the passing to Hunt for his kicks, very noticeable how often he had to reach or stretch to catch the ball before his kicks. Ends up kicking under pressure a lot. Mbye has been an excellent fullback for us, hope he can maintain the form.
This is a blight now so obvious on all games of rugby league. Whatever happen to momentum being halted. No wonder we have wrestle and all players trying to tackle high.Tigers getting these offload so late cause ref won't call held.
Lets cross our fingers for Moose. As we know, since he came back from suspension we have won all games he has played.He was around the hip.
But he didnt swing him around.
David because of his record he might get time off.
Then two came over the top.
Reviewed by bunker.
Because Luciano stayed down there was a penalty .
He played on but last week Hargraves got off scot free and we lost Sua for 2 months.
massively lacking on the edges today - hopefully bird shifts out and Bud or Jnr at 6 and the other on the bench.Just watched the presser and Hook gave the Hunt, Amone, Mbye and Sullivan a wrap as the spine so I hope that's a clue for next week and this is the team we get.
Exactly.Would be good to see someone else take pressure off Hunt, on last tackle kicks. He can’t do it all alone, then gets rushed, gassed and makes errors.
Ineffective? The bloke has 3 tacklers hanging off him whilst he makes 15 metres!In attack he is a one directional ineffective attacking centre - always steps off his left foot away from his winger???
His defence has improved.
I'm not sure crossed fingers will help our cause mate, you don't happen to have enough $100 notes to fill a brown paper bag with do you? That might help!Lets cross our fingers for Moose. As we know, since he came back from suspension we have won all games he has played.
