Carn Tigers

Bolton is playing 😕

 

[Aussie Battler]

Politically incorrect post to start proceedings, but I am finding the indigenous jerseys overly busy and a bit distracting. Very hard to pick up the West Tigers numbers (and yes I am becoming an overly grumpy old man)

 

[HoldenV8]

So far it looks like both teams have been reading the Manly short kicking game playbook.....

 

[ricardo]

Cmon Tigers

 

[HoldenV8]

NRL referees continuing with the "don't penalise actual forward passes" kick......

Yet passes that aren't forward are continually being pinged

 

[HoldenV8]

How in hell did they miss that knock-on by Coote? You don't get more clear cut than that.

 

[Clay]

I wish our players showed the same level of enthusiasm as Fonua, that guy is a beast

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

The good thing is the Cowboys aren’t much better than we are at present , win on Saturday and we’ll jump them!

Cowboys are getting a free ride by the media.

They have at least 75% of the same squad that made 2 finals in the last 3 years including Thurston, Morgan, Scott, Taumalolo, Hess and Coote... with the same coach. And they are now 3/10.

 

[StuBoot]

So will Taumalolo's attempted shoulder charge ( which took out his own team mate Fensom ) come under scrutiny from the MRC?

 

[Ralphie]

I wish Cleary was our coach

Throw the empty chequebook at him,would look great in the Maroon & whites.Oozes the mongrel that we are missing..

 

[robbiea]

I wish Cleary was our coach

Throw it at him too ,then his son....
Would be happy to trade Fonua ,Clearyx2 ,for Kapow,dce and Barrett.
(If journalists can print imaginary facts,surely I can dream some.)

 

[Volley]

It’ll be in the Cowboys best interests if Thurston retires. They’re a much better side with Morgan running the show.

The Cowboys aren’t copping any media heat because no-one really cares about them in Sydney. Imagine if Manly let Ponga go to keep someone like Brendan Reeves at fullback; Club in crisis, and rightfully so. Worst recruitment blunder I can remember.

 

[ricardo]

One thing’s for sure - it’s not just us that cop the poor ref calls! If the tigers lost it would have been hard for the refs to leave Leichhardt unscathed

Two of the softest tires in the history of RL let in by the previous triple wooden spoon side (who have beaten us twice this year, sigh)......go figure.

Those bastards always lift against us 😡

Those bastards always lift against us 😡

Might be time (2019) to do some lifting of our own against the Knights.
