Silly mistakes

[ozcrusader]

We are our own worst enemies.

It's still the stupid mistakes that cost us. Ie - Tigers drop the ball 50m out (silly mistake), Tigers then concede a penalty (sillier mistake) - Dogs score their first try...

If we can cut these down to a minimum, we can win so many more games - we dont need to give a team like the Dogs a helping hand like that.

I don't think people realise how it's the small tiny things that turn a game - ie not kicking deep enough off the fifth, dropping the ball off the kick off, not tackling players in goal - all these tiny things are the small things the good teams get right.

Although we played superbly and showed a lot of heart yesterday, we had numerous chances to win the games but didnt take them. Another season of wondering what could have been...

Small things like missed knock ons change games to.

Every team makes silly mistakes, Dogs knock on - Tigers 1st try, Dogs penalised - Tigers 2nd try

I have nothing but pride for my team after a performance like that.

I'm certain most if not all WestsTigers fans know just how much those small mistakes cost.

I pretty much agree.

Almost every try we conceed is due to a stupid mistake or penalty which could have been avoided.

This is what separates the top teams from the mid-table to lower ones.

But our effort last night was superb and we did do alot of good things.
