PRE-GAME DISCUSSION: Tigers v Manly [Round 7, 2021]

[Bearfax]

Unfortunately he was pretty injury prone in his stint with Manly . Coming good with injury is just so hard to anticipate and looks like he mainly considered as a centre these days despite previously being a back rower . Not a bad footy player but certainly hope that he is on a losing side tomorrow .

I dont think he was out that often through injury, compared with others. The whole thing was just handled poorly, at least from an outside observers perspective. Maybe there was much more to it, but if so it should have been stated because it left a bad taste among many of us supporters.

What? Not sure what you mean, Chee Kam had a succession of injuries and I don't recall anyone being upset when he was moved on.
Since then he has had 2 or 3 good moments for the Tigpies ... in the last 6 years

Are you implying that we stuffed up by releasing Chee-Kam?

You are making a habit of beating me to the punch.

I live in Parra so going to the game tomorrow, I haven't been able to bring myself to go to a game at Bankwest when it is a Parra home game, even though I can walk to the stadium.

All it will take is a few set restarts in the first 10-15 minutes and some starvation of the ball for the Tigers to get some confidence and get over the top of us.
I don’t know if our resolve is steely enough yet to come back from a slow start.

Holbrook goes crook on refs over delays swinging momentum

Titans coach Justin Holbrook questioned game delaying moments in the second half that he believes cost his side crucial momentum in the heartbreaking 40-30 loss to South Sydney on Friday night.

www.nrl.com

Refs controlling momentum??? We're all shocked!

Holbrook believes the Titans were disadvantaged by an unnecessary discussion, along with another moment in the second half when a scrum had to wait to form while a Rabbitohs forward was treated for cramping.

"I thought we got a bit of momentum there with that try from Peach and the game is meant to quicken up but then we stop for 15 minutes, I thought that's terrific there goes our momentum gone now," Holbrook said.

"Souths got a 10-minute break, they then got a good rest at a scrum which the new rule is if you have cramp you go off the field.

I would love to have heard what he said ‘off the record’. Im still pissed off about that game, because as Holbrook alluded to the momentum shift in favour of the top sides is bullshiit.
Its just absurd that you can’t call out a corrupt official for fear of getting fined.
Then you have to listen to the broken record Annersley, backing every dodgy move the refs make.

This is a MUST win as next week we will be back to Earth playing Penrith.

IF we beat the Tigpies then I'll lay money on us to upset the riff. More worried about this week than next. Want to see us back it up with some consistency. Do that with a solid win here and we will bring down the riff.

I remember Chee Kam. He only had a few games with Manly but showed some promise. Recall he was in the Australian School Boys team and an award winner in the NYC. He's not one of the best second rower/centres in the game, but he makes an impact. Hardly going to shine much in the Tigers team. Hasnt had that many injuries. What I recall was that he could do the unexpected quite often which is a valuable asset. Better than some of the forwards we've had in recent years.

Team named , and unchanged, Manly 13+

 

[Bearfax]

Are you implying that we stuffed up by releasing Chee-Kam?

What I'm saying is that between 2015-20, we let go a number of players who would have performed better (and did elsewhere) than many of the second grades we retained. I realise that money was a problematic issue, but even so, some of the ones we let slip through our fingers and who we had already signed, was most poorly considered in my opinion...and we've remarked about that many times during that period. It seemed that our recruitment at the junior level was top class, but at senior level was disappointing
