GAME DAY – R14 Tiges v Blues

[tigerlove]

Carried 2 premiership heroes that half. Lambo and Shedda having no impact at all.

Need MRJ to keep the footy in our forward line.

Backline sensational, bit of help for Dion wouldn't go astray either

Lambo good, Shedda bad

 

[btoz_01]

Interesting having Ralpsmith up forward, doesn't strike me as a great reader of the ball off hands.

On a night like tonight it should have been MJ up forward

Nah, cant agree Spook.

I'm of the belief the rule was bought in to protect the guy "over the ball on his feet" from being taken out by a player who has chosen to leave his feet and slide imto the contest, thus risking the ball players legs.

The rule doesn't mention the player having to be "over the ball on his feet". The sliding rule is an attempt to protect all players in a contest

 

[angle ankle]

Nice first half, the surge is back.

Need to pray to whatever God floats your boat for Prestia to be healthy all season. Is the key to a premiership.

does he ever do anything wrong?

 

[graystar1]

The big question is this.
Will we go to sleep in the last 2 quarters like we have been prone to do in the past?

I can’t help but feel nervous

 

[UKTiger]

The co-captains have really turned up tonight and looking good

 

[gold1]

Would like to see another target in the forward line to aim for this half. Maybe Clarke with three this half?

 

[leon]

W

Walsh is gonna have 60 possessions

While some of ours' can hardly find a touch (in Q1).

 

[tigerlove]

How can you say that slide wasn't a free to Balta? That's what it was brought in for, he could have broken Noah's leg. Keep your damn feet.

Definitely a free. Can't slide into a player like that regardless of how wet it is. In fact you need to be more careful.

Lambo good, Shedda bad

Shedda has been almost there tonight with every touch he's had or not had.

He's just a second or two off it. 2019 Shedda would've carved them open tonight a few times with some chances he's had.

 

[Tigers2011]

Have to continue to win clearance and maintain pressure for the entire game. Lapses will see them score quickly as in Q2. Take our chances when they come.

Unfortunately we're 3 years on from 2019.

 

[bringbakflemmo]

Ralphy needs to lift or he will be the one making way at this stage for George and or Moju next week.

Jud needs to get his hands on it, more as well as he is a good user.

George isn’t coming back. He is where he belongs

 

[The Big Richo]

You're wrong.

Yep, the Carlton player elects to slide instead of stayin on his feet and bending over for the ball. Clear free kick.

There was one against Cotchin missed and I'd have paid the one against Baker as well.

 

[craig]

Gotta get the first of the second half.

 

[jackfrost]

Jack over the shoulder round the neck play on !!

All because Jack complains and loves to throw those arms out at almost every contest these days, just play the game, the Free's will take care of themselves.

 

[leon]

Convinced he must be injured.
Can’t bend down or put his body on the line.

Been doing it for most of the year.

Say who mate.

 

[craig]

Unfortunately we're 3 years on from 2019.

Yep

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Definitely a free. Can't slide into a player like that regardless of how wet it is. In fact you need to be more careful.

And he had his knees up. Was a broken leg looking to happen.
