    Best thing about rd 3 vs Sharks

    For me this is better than thrashing the cowboys last year as our best performance in recent years. 1. Defence. 2. Controlled game plan that can be replicated. We didn't need one player to make 5 line breaks in an effort they can never hope to replicate, it's really up to those guys from last...

    Kick chase is not luck

    Canberra scored 3 tries tonight that you could call lucky. When the opposition scores 3 of them it becomes an effort and concentration issue.

    Positive messages

    Every thread is negative at the moment, I'm sure players read socials, and possibly here and they are playing like a frustrated and demoralised group. If you were hired to give a motivational speech to the squad on game day, what would you say? @hobbo1 you aren't allowed to post here (love ya...

    The next WT innovation?

    Here are some things that could only happen to us: Tell the media you have an ambassador role that breaches the cap Rehire a coach who sued you in a more senior position Make the clubs biggest sponsor the chair, have him fail publicly constantly, and have to choose between ruining the...

    Rd 3. What's acceptable?

    For me the win matters more than the performance, even though the Sunday game would have still infuriated me if we jagged a win, it wouldn't have impacted our season. Now if we play really well and lose in GP, it leaves us 0-3. Let's pretend it's just cohesion and we improve later in the...

    Week 2 predicted team

    I want Staines Tupou Naden Kepaoa Nofo (or Ken if ready) Doueihi Wakeham (can't believe I wrote that) Stef Api Klem Papalii Blore if fit Offa Simpkin Twal Pole Bateman (if he is acclimatised to the high altitude of Sydney yet) I think we'll go with less changes however.

    TV for NRL

    Hi all, AV geek forums can't answer NRL questions like my people here. For NRL on Kayo, has anyone gone from a good plasma to an oled and noticed an improvement? It seems like anything under 4k res and without hdr is likely to just as good, with better motion tracking, on my panasonic plasma...

    Too much of a good thing

    I think we have a team with too many utility types, without a clear position. I'd argue that Hastings Doueihi Brown Peachy (when in form) Are all great 14s, we still pay Mbye too. These guys could all play a similar game as a link man who can run, with Brown being a decent hooker too. Brown...

    Congratulations on the win

    To the players and Ben Gardiner. You won that game, I've been a critic all year so I'm not blowing smoke up your arse. Ignore the ladder, ignore the refs, ignore the score. You won that game, and if you play like that you'll add a couple more that they won't steal off you. Treat it like a win...

    The Tigers

    Just when you think we will finally win one of these tight games, which will be spoken about for years (maybe not in a good way), that happens. There was a small sliver of hope that the team would learn something, maybe even the whole club, that if you want it that little bit more you'll get...

    What really happened tonight

    4 forwards ran over 100 (pre updates). Brooks game had variety. I think Madge's best call weren't the two halves on the field, but the one on the bench and Luke responded well. Doueihi went to another level, not because of the position change but because of his attitude. Although Mbye looked...

    Who's watching?

    I noticed a lot of posters, myself included, say they wouldn't switch on this week. In considering checking the forum and watching a replay of something good happens - but Simpkin being picked certainly got me interested (maybe the marketing department stepped into team selection:grimacing...

    Help indoctrinating children

    Anyone know of any YouTube clips with the simple Tigers chant (Tigers clap clap clap). Trying to brainwash my kids. Thanks

    Slime

    Friends, Tigers, Brothers and Sisters. Parramatta. Is there any greater insult to humanity? Is there any foe more despised? I have it on good authority that Dennis Fitzgerald still gathers a group for satanic rituals in the depths of the leagues club every full moon. In the spirit of...

    Predictions for 21

    Given the risk/reward angle to our recruitment I see us having an extremely good or terrible year. For reference I'd call most of our seasons mediocre. My prediction is we won't be 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12 this year. Either comfortably in the finals or out of contention early. If we finish 1-7...

    Discipline

    Last year we saw BJ lose it, Brooks job Gagai on the chin like he was at Balmain Hoyts during the great depression and Doueihi do something no one remembers to earn a suspension. We've already seen Musgrove beat himself via TKO in 2021. I got a sort of perverse joy seeing us bring a bit more...

    Jekyll and Hyde

    I think we showed the two things we do well in that game. The first 20 minutes we picked them apart beautifully. A more experienced squad with better balance and we win comfortably. From a purist point of view it was brilliant, barely a wasted hit up. On the other hand, their forwards were...
