Round 8 vs Tigers

[St Tangles]

We get refereed differently to other teams

 

[hardbaby]

Gee where to start? We have absolutely no attack. There is literally nothing.

 

[TruSaint]

What will it take to get some early ball to Suli ?
Seriously, our only attacking threat.

 

[jeffdragon]

Shit first half.
Cant even buy a penalty.
Good tackle on tigers winger and get penalised.
Then a forward pass.
Need to mount pressure.
Flat after last week.
Rely on Hunt too much.
Hopefully tigers will crack before us

 

[R&WTILLIDIE]

We’re lucky to be behind by 2. These 2 teams will struggle to make the 8.

 

[hardbaby]

There's no building to something here.
Theres no learning from mistakes.

It's just countless years of terrible football.

Yeah I just can’t believe the Board thinks this is acceptable. It’s so boring. I don’t want to lose like this. I don’t want to win like this. It’s not even footy. It’s kick and tackle and pray for luck.

 

[RedVDave]

Haven't scored one point in 80mins of football.

 

[FlameThrower]

Our attack is shocking.

What attack…?

 

[Dragsters]

Bud to 6 for jnr.

We need some spark.

Lucky to be only 2 down...

 

[be55]

Win, lose or draw the style of football we play makes it very hard to enjoy watching our games...

If i'm the opposition, I am buoyed with confidence that the Dragons can't make metres so we try to kick for territory every set. Usually Hunt is the only one chasing the kicks because we are a lazy or unfit side. Usually there's a door left open or the opposition sweep and make easy metres with our poor line speed. Same every game.

Surely a coach as experienced as Griffin would know better.

I know we are in this game but if Tigers can hold the ball I can't see where we even get a try.

 

[FlameThrower]

Tigers, making easy meters.
We’ve had almost no attacking play’s - the only chance we had and Simms drops the ball anyway.
Too much pressure on Hunt and he is being rushed to kick the ball on last tackle.
BS Penalty against Lomax -BTW.

 

[SAP58]

We look like an A-Grade side & watching Melbourne’s clinical display against Newcastle there is a massive gap between the top half teams to the bottom half. We have no structure struggle in defence & look like we have never played together before. Why are we so inconsistent & can’t put consecutive good games together ???

 

[Gourley's Socks]

Feagai has been very solid - particularly carries from his own line. Suli strong as usual.

 

[Saints Forever]

No bodies in motion

No deception

With Macguire starting we effectively are playing with 4 middles

Sims ineffective on the right

Fui needs to play more minutes

Hook needs to tell the young blokes to play their own game

Sullivan needs to play as the 6 in the second half

He is capable of taking pressure off Hunt

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Im all in favour of giving blokes like Sullivan, Sloan and Amone more game time to add that bit of xtra zip but the latter may as well not be out there.....not sure if he actually knows what his role is or hes under instructions but whatever it is its shit tbh.......its glaringly obvious that already we are missing SuA and Bird.....cmon fellas the Tigers have won their last 2 by a field goal but seriously they are not world beaters by any stretch

 

[St Tangles]

Tigers should of taken the 2

We don't look like scoring

 

[hardbaby]

We need Sullivan in the halves. Time to bring Sloan back.

 

[Illusion]

Not liking what im seeing .....

 

[hardbaby]

Tigers should of taken the 2

We don't look like scoring

Yes that was a mistake.
