Poor kick from Madden
Manly in again… Turbo tore us a new one… 12-4 to the scum, kick to come.
Still a lot of weakness from last year still in the WTs
Try just before half time…typical
Classic Tom T play against some lazy/tired defenders.
12-4 at halftime.
Who was your best Tiger?

I think it's fair to say if Tommy T is hanging around the ruck he'll be involved - that was laziness at the ruck. We're going OK, a bit unlucky. Two tries through right centre and a lazy ruck play, tough call on our disallowed try.
I'm assuming Manly had the wind: two big kicks from DCE and Brooks keeping kicks low.
i still worry that we cant win the contact most of the time in the forwards.
It’s the same problem since as far back as I can remember.
The Tigers have no aggression and no intimidation factor. Our pack hardly get over the advantage line to get their opponents back pedalling in attack and don’t sting or drive players back in defence.
We very rarely get the better of opposition packs and that’s half the battle lost.
Thought they did alright in defense before that last try. Seems very similar to last year tbh. Had some good field position but couldn’t score and also couldn’t defend.
@helmesy cant say anyone really caught my eye.
Much the same playing style as last year.
Disappointed to see Luciano on the right side. I think he is wasted there.
Some same mistakes..
Of the new guys Peachey and To'a look good..
Liking Dillon, he does not look out of place. Lucy playing well also.
Wanna see more ball for left hand side. I think Toa and Gildart had to go looking for ball and didn’t get good service. Brooks alway looking for that no look short ball to Tuilagi. One trick pony.
@tigerinzurich sad that we can copy paste this for each of the past 10+ seasons 🙁
There's nobody out there tonight for WT who can take the game (even at pre season intensity) to the opposition
DCE and Turbo a class above for Manly
I thought Paseka was dominant with his carries
Keppie also a good player
Manly are a good side. We are battlers.
This side is a creation of Madge's now so he has no execuses. He wont sleep well tonight based on this.
