    That set after the Taumalolo try from the Cowboys was pure domination.

    I don’t know what Payten’s fascination is with finishing the game with Granville at dummy half, I get he gives you some good scoots around the ruck late but his service is very poor at times and just puts way too much pressure on the rest of his team mates who are no doubt fatigued as fuck by then.

    Bullemor looks a likely type up the middle.

    Bullemor is an absolute gun up the middle off quick play the balls. I expect us to not re-sign him.

    Isucko can't keep getting picked. He makes game changing errors every week.

    I noticed he played Taumalolo for long minutes again. I think if he's gonna do that he will need to not be a battering ram type of lock in the long term. We really need more props.

    Glad Titans held on, I still think they can be relevant in the competition, Tigers will be a waste as long as they persist with Brooks, Douhi is looking pretty good at 6.

    If Daine Laurie had've just scored instead of throwing that forward pass it could've been a different game.

    That Kyle Feldt put down was fucking awesome.

    Haha, suck shit Thompson. Idiot.

    So glad the bunker actually made a good call for once. I totally thought they were going to disallow that.

    The dumbest part was that when they scored, Klein went to Peachey and said something along the lines of "You're lucky they scored, otherwise that was heading to sin bin territory".

    Yeah should have been binned, IMO. He was penalised for a professional foul, that's a 10min sit down.

  10. Tartmaster AJ James

    Oh I agree.

    But "You're lucky they scored off the penalty I gave when I didn't sin bin you, otherwise I might have sin binned you", makes absolutely no sense

    Actually I forgot it was a quick tap to get the try.

    Would've been interesting if he had stopped the game, sin binned Peachey, Titans challenged and won the call whether or not Peachey would be allowed back onto the field given it wasn't foul play you would assume so?

  13. Tartmaster AJ James

    Yeah, no idea how that would pan out.
    Surely we wouldn't win the challenge because the Tigers knock on was the previous play?

  14. AVA T Delonge

    Nah Fogarty was challenging the knock on call as Tamou was playing the ball (when the penalty was given). The Tamou regather and play the ball is the same play surely?

    Turbo for Dally M.

  16. Tartmaster AJ James

    But he can't challenge the knock on because it wasn't called.
    So the only thing the could challenge was the penalty against Peachey, which was clearly a penalty, so I don't know if they would rule on Tamou knocking it on before the play the ball.
    Potential for very messy calls though.

    Would be even more confusing if the penalty was the dubious call.
    If the refs give a dodgy penalty and team tries to challenge but the other team has taken a quick tap and scores how does that work?

    Another fairly flaccid performance from the Tigers and I've heard a few talking heads speak about how they're not buying in to that gritty stuff that Madge wants to get from a team. At what point is Mcguires team selection held to account for that lack of defensive grit and toughness? Surely it has to get to a point where he just can't pick guys like Joey Leilua and Luke Brooks. Even if you're promoting a no hoper from reserve grade, you've got to do something to say that the standard the current crop dishes up isn't up to scratch. You can't build grit with the sort of shit those two dish up, Brooks lets the pressure off far to often and Leilua is just too Leilua.

    There's obviously other problems, the pack just isn't that good, there's still some roster hang over from Cleary with Mbye, Packer and probably part of Reynolds salary, I don't think James Roberts should be anywhere near first grade, Luke Garner is talented but can be a bit too lazy so may be more suited to the bench. But you don't need superior talent to have a superior attitude, needs to start dropping blokes for more than a week. Their reggies are doing pretty well too so they obviously aren't a total pac of spuds.

    I also love how regardless of how far both teams have fallen, we churn out great nail biting games.

    Raiders in a real hole since posting this. Amazing just how much of a difference T-Turbs has made at Manly.

    You're right it's a 3 Tier Comp, but is more:

    Panthers
    Storm
    ----------
    Eels
    Roosters
    Souths
    ----------
    The rest who wont really pose any threat to the top 5. Maybe Raiders or Manly might cause issues as to who will make the top 4.
