Happy to see 40 points on the board no matter how horrid the tigers were. Next win is massive for our top 4 chances. Win that were in the box seat with Souths having to play Brisbane/Roosters and melbourne playing the Cows/Brisbane. If we win next week that sets us up with a win and were in the top 4 against manly. Assuming souths or melbourne dont pull off the improbable and win both against tough opposition.

I like how we took gal off with 7 to go only to bring him back on hahah fmd.

So good watching a game with decent ruck speed not like last weeks monstrosity...

Amen! I can live with the refs making a couple mistakes as they did with Woods offside and feki being out. So happy to see no video ref and sharp decisions being made.

I wasn't overly impressed with that performance to be honest. Far to many drop balls, our kicking game was terrible as usual and we let in soft tries

During the year you take that win but at this time of the year I think we need to be better leading into the semis. Hopefully it's the convince builder we needed after a poor display against the storm

yeah id have liked to see a bit more ball security and some smarter decisions. The fact we put 40 on the board today is more about who we played than how we played. Our tries were nice dont get me wrong, but i think if we played a quality side, that result could have been reversed

said this in the first half, and still a bit confused.

I noticed down towards the 20-10 metre lines Gallen and Heighno were at first receiver a hell of a lot, and doing a bit of crabbing before putting a flat pass on for someone. Very strange tactic, and didnt really achieve much. However Gallen did pass it to Bird for the try assist for lewis.

Still not sure why we contine to use forwards in ball playing roles, or more to the point, back line movements

Happy to cut em some slack, short turn around after a pasting, with our crap for/against it now means little compared to other around us, so 2 points is what it is all about... Happy to roll up against the eels next week with some confidence.. 50 point turnaround today.

Thanks for the two points tigpies. Wasn't at the game, was doing a riding course at St Ives today - clearly we win when I stay away :(

We should have pumped them 50 blot. How on earth they were within 6 with twenty to go I'll never know.

The late tries were very very nice though. Highlight reel stuff.

God Robson is terrible. Each week just amazes me at how mediocre he is. The sole reason we didn't win that by 50.

In saying that-how good is everyone else! Taga was huge, Prior played outstandingly, and well.. Val... Jeeeeeesus Val its just not fair.
We monstered them in the forwards. Robbo is the single reason this team isn't vying for top two.

Only saw glimpses of the game. Did ennis go off injured? Or just giving a deserved break?
