LIVE GAME Round 14 vs. Raiders

[Cultured_Bogan]

I'd love to see the stats for teams who concede tries for kicks that ricochet off posts. We'd have to be a clear leader.

That was not a penalty or a reportable offense - Ice was trying to block the kick - his trajectory was in line with the kicker but there was no attempt to tackle him. He simply slid into the player who was on the ground not in the air. Corrupt NRL right there.

Only if you ignore the actual rules.

 

[Dino]

We should have got a field goal, a smart half would have set that up

Nah that's not on our halves, that's on every player in our team refusing to take the takle

 

[Demps]

Theyre gelling dude, give em time, its only half way through the season.

Our fullbacks played like 4 games....

Relax man.
It's clear we're building something here 😉

Raiders didn't play that well.

All 3 try's off kicks.

They were lucky

Needed a w there.

Correct it was a penalty.
But watch the last play, Hudson Young hits Brooks leg as he shanks the field goal.
If Brooks flops and goes down holding his leg, we would have got a penalty also.

Watched it a few times. He didn’t connect with the legs. He connected with the ball.

 

[Tonymontana]

Man if only someone put a kick in for Nofoaluma on the last play. That was a try for sure.

Definitely, but it takes someone with balls and brains

The loss of the challenge early was a problem - but on the evidence even if they upheld the call the challenge should have been kept. No play was made at the ball, the hand may have been on it but he dropped it cold.

That was my thought, we should have retained our challenge

 

[liltiger]

Correct it was a penalty.
But watch the last play, Hudson Young hits Brooks leg as he shanks the field goal.
If Brooks flops and goes down holding his leg, we would have got a penalty also.

Then he should have tried to milk the penalty it's common sense why didn't he

 

[tony soprano]

Which idiot touched the ball to the side line on that kick off?

 

[Tucker]

Positives:
We won possession and field position stats again.
Only 19 missed tackles
We made 52 tackle breaks
2 blokes ran over 200
8 others ran over 100
We took great advantage of the 10 minute advantage we had.

 

[Tom Shines]

Meh. I'd like to have won but we may as well lose games like that this year rather than next. Overall they played okay and deserved to win. Conceding twice from kicks hurts in a tight game.

Looked like a carbon copy of the dogs game. Long spells of decent play punctuated by disastrous errors then a flurry of points. Couldn't push it on at 19-18.

They lose games like that every year..

they don’t seem to ever win games like that

 

[Yossarian]

Again it goes back to losing an onside kick. From the restart when we were in control.

Yeah Nofa catches that and we probably win.

 

[BenzaTiger]

Happy we didn’t get flogged by 40, we play the full 80 which is nice to see. If we can get a few points in the first 60 will help.

You make your own luck. Not many tigers players in shot for the ricochets.

 

[NJLM78]

Needed a w there.

I think we really needed to win one at Campbelltown too. Especially a win like that could have been.

 

[a_dog]

Would have won if Tucker believed harder. Not a real fan.

 

[Yossarian]

We did in 2005, 2010 and 2011. At 3-8 it's probably not a factor in us making the top 8.
