    Tigpie fans happy with the Brooks dropping?

  2. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Yeah I am. Apparently it was for his defence in the Souffs but I don't really give a fuck about that; he's been conclusively the worst of the three halves the Tigers have used this year, and was definitely worse than Marshall last year as well. Marshall getting dropped instead of him after the Titans game was a disgrace.

    It's funny that they waited until Reynolds was also out to do it but I'm happy with it. I hope Marshall and Reynolds get to play together when Reynolds is back.

    Yeah. Plainly put he sucks. I've been saying it for like 3-4 years now but he's basically Daniel Mortimer. Ok running game and good in support play but literally nothing else. His game hasn't improved at all since coming into first grade. There's no other team in the league that would've signed him to a deal as long as we did and let him play over 160 games with fuck all to show for it.

    At full strength I can see the idea of playing Brooks and Reynolds, assuming we can grind games out and hope we can win games by Grant, one of the Leilua's or Nofoaluma pulling something out of their ass.

    With all these injuries there's no point trying that cause we're bound to lose. At least with Benji there's the defensive issues but we can put points up.

    Souths without Latrell are favs against the knights? Not in my book.

    Souths shouldve beat us by 40-50 with the field position they had. They just aren't good at all.

    Nah mate, you're wrong.
    They've shown over the past fortnight they'll give it a good shake. Beat the Chooks tonight and with some better calls they would have won last week v Storm

    Last week was their own fault.

    but to do it tonight without Hodgson, Bateman, Simonsson, Scott, Guler, Soliola and Horsburgh was probably the gutsiest win I’ve seen from the club tbh. You can’t understate it really.

    they had 2 ex flegg players who should never have really played first grade at all.


    They need to sign another prop who can play first grade standard or near it pronto

    That was probably our worst performance since the beginning of 2018. Defence was horrendous, tbf writing has been on the wall the last couple of weeks.

    Robinson got it massively wrong playing a middle 3 of Collin/SST/JWH as well. Long time since our attack looked so one dimensional, too many hitups and like watching an under 8's team shovel pass to the kid who wants to take a cary into a brick wall of defenders when they tried to distribute from the middle. Passing licences revoked.

    Radley is a huge loss, really showing up the short comings of Flanagan at this point in his career. Really don't give a fuck that he can bomb heaps high hey? Joey Manu is being wasted on that side, criminal.

    Hi

    I have explained my tastes in games before so this weeks matches am into are:

    Wests Broncos -can't wait. Hurricane's "game of the round"
    Dragons v Bulldogs also can't wait
    I won't watch Rabbitohs without Latrell
    Warriors sharks for the LOLs - Sharks to win this to fuck over Paytens chances of being coach.So far Todd has been poor.

    This is a brand new low. I don't think I've ever seen 4 tries like this in 1 game before? Shocking.

    Madge is going to progress to be regarded as the best coach in the NRL during the 2020s

    My basic problem with league and professional sports is so much of the success of the franchise rests on the ideation and strategic cognitive processes of one dude: the head coach. It is antiquated decision making process and league and other sports need a more commitee style team selection process with about 6 dudes involved. For instance the second Brisbane dump Isaako they will be istantly better but because the coach only has an IQ of 105-110 points he can't see that.

    The solution isn't to hire a better coach, it is to use a commitee, groups of people have effective IQs of 600 to even 1000 points according to studies.

    IMHO anyway.

    This is like a fails compilation, but what you'd expect to see over a decade.
