The protection racket for Brooks has to end this week … there are three available No9’s to choice from , Brooks is no 9 ! He is going to be in the halves or not at all!
We played as well as I thought we’d play.
We have nothing in attack
AD has looked far better with the ball than Hastings and Brooks. His kicking game is also superior.
AD has looked good when he's run wide and he gets there via Hastings and Brooks. I can't agree with the kicking game, none of them have threatened, he's just lobbed it straight to their wingers.
Today's issue was field position. We picked a lightweight forward pack with a couple of rookies and couldn't stop them in the middle or make the ground we required to attack.
As much as I hate a loss it's hard not to be pleased for the Warriors - it's good they get to finally play at home and the win is great for their long-suffering supporters.
we can’t build any pressure
Only in the 78th and 79th minute did we force a restart.
Our forwards, as predicted, were dominated and this takes any real chance of victory away. We’ve let two forwards go, playing two rookies instead - terrible decision making.

@voice_of_reason Got to stop blaming the forwards they played pretty well today . Attack starts at the ruck the fact that the halves are being butchered to accommodate for one player just disjoints all movement , the centres seen no decent ball today . Again this is a team that has no idea what’s happening when they have the ball and that goes to coaching or lack of it .. this team has had 2 weeks to organise some type of attacking structure but once again ZIP . Unfortunately at the Tigers it’s who you know it was always going to be a dogs breakfast with Noddy and Farah in the box , Gardiner had the runs on the board and should of been promoted to interim coach but that’s how it rolls at this club . Hopefully the Noddy/Farah power coaching team can devise a game plan that produces something better than 5 up and kick HOPEFULLY!
On a positive note our rookies had solid debuts much better than our starters in Seyfarth & Musgrove
on a positive note, Ken ran hard today. The forwards should look at the way he accelerates into the line and keeps driving the legs.

ot to stop blaming the forwards they played pretty well today
I thought they played to their ability and that's not intended as an insult, just acceptance the Warriors forwards set a much higher bar. I can't criticise their efforts, but they came up short. We missed the experience and size of Tamou and Twal.
@campo Stats bar humbug… There was some solid defence there today , maybe if there was a bit more structure around the ruck ? Yes a bit light on in forwards but the constant barrage for the losses just covers up the real reasons the backs are hapless.Stats are only one aspect .
Douhie's kicking game just as bad as Brooks hoist it high equals no result. Hastings did nothing
