NRL Round 6 - Tigers Vs Knights - 4:05pm Sunday, 12th April - Campbelltown Sports Stadium

[CornChippy]

I would like to see WDC on the wing in first grade one day, he has the talent and he just got taught a lot of lessons tonight in a pretty hard way. I hope he takes it personally and puts more effort into all areas of his training.

I think he needs more time in NSW cup and some more coaching. The Knights just signed him for three years. He will be back.

I don’t know who said that Marz would get blamed for most of WDC’s mistakes but here’s the standard level of Facebook outrage you will see week in, week out, win or lose.

Facebook really does have all the world’s dumbest people there doesn’t it

It’s truly baffling the amount of people who blame the winger in situations like today

 

[Kurriboy]

A game where nearly nothing went out way until it was over. WDC had a shocker, but across the field the team looked off the pace.

Not going to win everything, some days it's not your day.

I reckon if we played Leo Thompson we would’ve only conceded 42 points.

 

[Mclovin]

I think it so disappointing because we are so much better than what we played.
I think we have a bit more confidence this year and we will shake that one off

I don’t see Mooney as a starter. He needed to step up early but went missing and he’s better suited coming off the bench. The issue with the Niukore signing is he’s in the same boat, probably more effective as an impact player off the bench.

Mooney started the year off better than expected but has been average the last month.

I believe Niukore is being signed as the Frizz replacement. Impact off the bench in the middle.

Trey, like a lot of them, is young, especially for a forward and will get better. We won the spoon last season, even today there were things to like, just wasn't our day. WDC got a bath... oh well, it's how he responds that matters.

That’s where the problem lies. We need another quality middle for the opening exchanges. J Saf can’t do it all on his own.

De Courcey is still a huge talent. He had a bad day today. McCarthey is a better defensive centre you will see him next week. Or hunt to centre and sharpe to FB

I think the club is hoping Hopwood will grow into that role.

Saulo went good 2 weeks ago....

Maybe we can start Saulo and tell him he is only getting one stint 20-30mins and he can give it all he has like against the dogs.
Then Mooney can play the rest of the game.
It's worth a try.

McCarthy looks solid and safe in NSW cup tonight. Scored one and set up another before half time. I would think he is a chance for next week against the roosters.

I agree. Saulo at least try to wack blokes and isn’t afraid to run hard even though at times he does get dominated.

 

[Treadly]

I was at the game today but channel 9
Decided for the first time I've seen since I was 15 (im 44) to whack an ugly big election on the southern hill. So missed half the game. Absolute BS. I dont even know who to vote for this week.

Across the board we were down on execution, and everything went the Tigers way particularly in the first half.
We were gassed at halftime from lack of possession, six agains and penalties . Playing catch up in the second half without Ponga, Brown and Best was never going to win us the game.
The WDC thing was unfortunate, maybe more time in reggies and a shot on the wing in first grade later in the year would help build confidence.
One player who hasn’t improved from last season is Lucas. His involvement is down generally, maybe because no Ponga combination on LH in attack. I don’t know why but his form is definitely down on last year. Hopefully it improves, because he’s a gun backrower when he’s firing.

All in all I’m not too concerned by this loss, we were still resilient enough to score some late tries, and I think Holbrook will make the necessary adjustments and fix stuff, so we should be better next week.

Mooney has been fairly average all year Ive thought. He isn't a starter.

A 35/36 yo backrower Frizell is by far the better middle. Day light between them.

Signing Niukore, a guy who has been a fill-in for the 17 for middle of the road teams, isn't going to do anything for us next season.

ESL to an edge next week, Lucas to centre.
