2020 Rd 20 V Sharks: Game Day

[FuiFui BradBrad]

Well this game proved we don't really need to sign anyone, we have a great bunch of juniors coming through right now.
Timoko, Harley, Semi, menchin, cook, all will improve with more first grade.
Happy days

Yeah I was happy with what I saw of HSS. Potential to grow to a Cotric style physique

[Raider Azz]

Let's keep things in perspective. Sharks were horrible. Still like what guys like HSS and Timoko showed.

Good idea. Let's keep things in perspective. We rested nine key players and had a team full of rookies and showed a lot of skill and a lot of heart. Fantastic win.

Has any team been stripped more in a game?

Depends if you’re talking about the ball or Fatfita on HSS

[Azza]

Superb victory.

[simo]

If we need a forward to drop off the bench I think it should be CHN. Perfect opportunity to lead and shine today.
Didn't happen.

The Sutton injury might keep him in there but it also gives an opening for a reserve back.

I didnt like what i saw from a fatigued chn. Hudson young streets ahead in terms of digging deep and putting in when the drums start beating

[GreenGuy]

Future centres were good to watch.

For all the guys that have had to train without playing this year to do that is Ricky Stuart. It's respect and culture and its the current standard.

[irvste]

That was awesome and probably the best full game to watch on replay without being frustrated for half of it.. That was fun to watch everything I'd hoped for

When HSS lost shirt I'm pretty sure I saw MrsPJ lick her lips..

He's chiseled enough.

Remember guys corey has not done a raiders style pre season, he did a bulldogs one.

He can't be expected to be as fit, but come next season he will be

Are you kidding ?

I was a wreck watching that.

We were obviously the dominate side but kept screwing up.

Bryson Goodwin scored a try..THAT IS NEVER ON.

Yes I'm aware of that. I was responding to suggestions we don't need to recruit based on that performance.

Nupe that was great maybe u had expectations i had none so that was fantastic to have such a young team win.. It could also be how many drinks I've had during

CHN was poor - probably our worst - but Young wasn't much better. Kept getting baited into conceding repeat sets at horrible times, got the ball stolen off him at a crucial moment, and made little to no impact at the line.

Should Sutton be out they'll both survive, but they need to be a lot better than that.

[Pete Cash]

We have a good pack of outside backs here.

Yep, I’m with you afgtnk. Those two concern me a lot in defence running into finals.

[gangrenous]

So do we use the same threads for the Sharks. Good to recycle for the environment and all that...

Yep, i thought they were both our worst tonight. Not what you want from somewhat seasoned played in this squad in this game
Shown up big time by their peers

I think both have reasons. CHN hasnt seen these minutes for over a year, he was cooked by the end of it and whilst his defense is going to need work, it's not usually this bad. He will be better with minutes and with a proper off season next year. Young... its beyond clear now, not an edge. Really good middle but not an edge. HIs errors and penalties were really disappointing

I expect we won't be seeing both filling those edge roles at the same time come finals. Less chance of getting exposed defensively in the middle.

[Dr Greenthumb]

CHN has gone from playing 20 mins off the bench, up to 30 last week and then straight up to 75 mins tonight. Was also asked to play some time on an edge when he’s playing at prop weight atm. Think we should cut him some slack.

agreed, he was as cooked as anyone.
But his defense is not going to be his strength, it'll be something we hope improves with better match fitness and time in the off season. But he's going to concede tries over the year.

True - he did have issues with D at Penrith and the Dogs.

[Azza]

Tigers would be in the lead bar their crappy goal kicking

[irvste]

As much as benji beat us so many times I'm sad to see him out regardless of the result.. Go tigers.. one of those opposition players I've always had time for

Agree.

Also think that Sia settled a debate and proved a big point tonight. Nearly three months out and comes back without skipping a beat. That should tell people all they need to know of his inherent quality and value to us.

Wow tigs

[RedRaider]

Benji injured his knee and gone for match early in first half. But West Tigers have just hit the lead over the Eels 22-16

[RedRaider]

West Tigers lead now 24-16

Good, very good.

[Azza]

Listening to the press conference tonight I don't think Ricky gave us any chance of finishing 4th... But the tigers are currently up
