Not to mention we took the Storm and Dragons the distance, despite missing several key players.
We'll come good, for the first time over the past few years I'm actually feeling rather positive about our remaining games. If we can get our best 17 on the park more often than not, I firmly believe we'll win.
on a sunny afternoon at leichhardt, in front of 20k+, and with all the possession in the storms quarter, the best the tigers could do is lose 12-4, with the tigers as fired up as hell and you are saying thats a good result? vs the dragons, they got within 6 and saints probably played the worst they had this year.
fact is tigers supporters overate there players. there forward pack is unthreatening. all these guys tigers fans think are amazing like heighington do a lot of work, but when ur 10 out and benji throws a short ball does heighington look like scoring? never. same can be said for gibbs, woods, fulton etc.
tigers fans have a strong view of overating there players. chris lawrence has also hidden the concept of how poor the tigers outside backs actually are as well. without him all the other ones have been shown up for what they are , nothing more than safe solid first graders. ryan, brown, ayshford, mckinnon etc. in last years semi how clear was it for the dragons, if they shut down lawrence running down that left side, what were the tigers gonna do? no forwards were gonna bust through, the fullback (brown) was as threatening as butter, and the forwards had no impact at all.
The tigers have a few individuals, but half there squad would struggle to get a run elsewhere.
thats not trying to start a flamewar, parra have the same problems.
