Agree. One super fast play the ball is better than being a fifth of a second faster on average.

See Rapana's or Timoko's average yesterday or Mooneys in NSW cup.
I mean I really doubt there is a practical difference between 2.8 seconds and 3.16. It's probably an indicator of discipline over anything else. I reckon a better stat would be "fast ptb" based on the number under 2.5 or 3 seconds.

I’ve noticed over the years that Brent Read has long had a disinterest bordering on dislike for Raiders and Ricky.
But yesterday he was the only Daily Telegraph tipster out of 20 to pick the Tigers to win.

Looking at the replay, it looked like Guler knocked it on cold with 3 mins to go in the first half. It was actually Api with amazing sleight of hand that strips the ball. Correct call and great pick up from the ref.

Ricky said in the post match presser that they came to him at the start of the year and asked to play on the same side together.Regs Revolution wrote: ↑March 16, 2024, 4:20 pm Check this out. On the league live app:

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day
I think we shouldn't ever have Kris play anywhere else other than centre. He has the potential to be one of the best in thst position.Regs Revolution wrote: ↑March 17, 2024, 10:44 amAnd Ricky got annoyed bless him.

Also, I feel that Savage is in a better place mentally. I'd love to see him play 1 more and with Rapana there is an opportunity to swap from time to time. There must be some reason that doesnt happen tho.

Origin level. I don’t think his time at fullback would have done him any harm in his overall development.benda wrote: ↑March 17, 2024, 11:01 amI think we shouldn't ever have Kris play anywhere else other than centre.

I don’t give us much chance this week against the Warriors, but I do like where the squad is headed especially compared to last year

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day
That was a very good performance. It's always a good sign after the game when one of the points for debate is whether Saulo or Guler makes way for Horsburgh.
I'm loving what I'm seeing from Strange. The way he kept on coming back, and kept talking, after being thrown under the bus vs the Storm last year was a terrific sign for me. He is 100% the real deal.
Kris' HIA was such a shame. That edge could have put a couple of tries on the Tigers no problem.
Good times! Apart from a 5 minute period where we piggybacked them down field for a couple of tries we were all over them. In the end I thought the final score flattered the Tigers.

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day
Gotta say, when Strange got beat on his outside and then made up ground and ended Charlie Stains life by burying him over the touchline and then stood over him and gave him the absolute business... it sparked a love in me that i havent had in a player since Johnny Bateman faked a ball toss into a titans player's face and laughed when he flinched.
Loved seeing him smash that bloke and let him know about it. The team needs a little bit of that mungrel

Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Re: 2024 Round 2 v Tigers: Game Day
Major highlight for me...10 mins into the second half and Savage nails Bateman in a tackle. Bateman obviously doesn't like it and loses his ****, which ends up with Huddo laughing at him in a bit of push and shove.
As an aside, Bateman spent a hell of a lot of time playing outside Isaiah Papalii on the Tigers right hand side. Not sure if this was a specific Tigers tactic or Bateman just wanting to run at Young.
Whatever it was, it didn't work.

That is true. For whatever reason he was the one moved to the right. He tried it on a few times and got nailed.

One tackle break for Jonneh. Another quality hasbeen recruit for the Tigers.
