That is absolute garbage. How we got the win is beyond me but none the less I am very glad to get the two points and move well along from this one...

add a few bombed tries to that as well. Far from doom and gloom

Thought we looked decent the first 20 minutes but it was all down hill from there. The fact we keep winning with such poor dicipline and error rate shows how tough our side is

Looking at the errors and penalties stats tonight not many teams could win a footy match with those kind of stats. We fix it up and we will do very well this year but at the moment unfortunately we are our own worst enemy

I think this is whats frustrating me the most. the 3 losses we have had, we have been in the game and our errors have stopped us getting home. That and some woeful defence last week. Its so frustrating that we are playing so badly, and yeah we are still winning most games. We could be winning them and winning easy if we just chilled out a little bit. Its that last silly pass rather than just taking the tackle. And then there is the defensive discipline. Penalties every second set.

Even though our ball handling was terrible that night, i thought the Melbourne game was our best because the weather made us get back to basics

last penalty we received was midway through the first half. decent effort

Our first pen was in the 3rd minute. So from the 4th to 80th minute we received 1 penalty. Either the tigers were the most disciplined side all year last night or the refs werent spotting things they usually do.

Cummins usually blows the ****ing pea out of the thing.

yeah and the 2nd penalty was the gallen one where they were disallowed their try so the Tigers went 77 minutes without a ruck penalty

Cheers, have been hoping that his confidence grows a bit each week in the role and that he's the complete package by finals time.

As the resident enternal optimist, atleast we aren't playing our best footy in March/April and trying to hold form all year... put on a clinic against dragon then I'll be happy with the results of 1st 10 rounds... with plenty of improvement 2 come like a fat group 1 racehorse.

I mean for a team that we all think are under performing, we're 6-3 and at worst, we'll be in 4th spot at the end of the round.

I'll be happy with us just working on our errors, a lot of our penalties imo are to slow the play the ball down, if we're completing sets and not putting pressure on ourselves then hopefully they go away or down atleast.
