Reality Check

[mattyh]

firstly im disgusted by yesterdays performance and have refrained from posting ...im not blaming robbo , cronk is not the mr fix it we maybe thought he was, and we are not the melbourne storm, pearce was a hell of a lot better then some on here gave him credit , we may live to regret this decision, however our defence was pretty good , and i thought cronk was clinical and fergo was great , however losing to the tigs should rattle a few cages , they are not a good team and wont make the 8, im very nervous now re next weeks game and honestly id tip the dullbogs on that display, friend needs to be relieved of the captaincy immediately and it must be given to cronk, cordner must start and be vc...still disgusted, another case of well win well and players believing the hype ...god im so annoyed

I wouldn't be too harsh on him.
He was on a hiding to nothing as a fill in who was playing out of position.

Saving a try is as good as scoring, so Cornish is off the hook

I think Cornish could be a good first grade halfback if he was given an extended run at number 7 with a regular 5/8 and hooker.
Obviously he won't get that chance with us for two years, but if he stuck around as back up and learned from Cronk, who knows?

If he was at bronco pty ltd this season he'd do a better job than anyone skelator can field.

Yep, He's a half not a 5/8

A lot of people on here may be forgetting something. The last time we played the Tigers we only won by 4 - and left it late. Cleary’s team are a bunch of goers. He has no superstars but a lot of players of similar ability who know that if they slacken others will take their place. Reputations mean little. With us, the salary cap precludes us from taking this approach. The Tigers are a better team than people give them credit for. We are not as good as many think. Not yet anyway.

Yes since Cleary has come on board with his accent on defence, they are no longer our easybeats. A couple of radio 'experts' were bagging out their pack and I was thinking how little these guys actually knew about the game, listening to them. They may not be fancy but he has moulded a good defensive unit. And they're going to be hard to beat down the middle. Packer and Mautolino are hard nuts and players like Elijah Taylor are relentless tacklers. Rochow is another. Although we had a rep side on paper, the Tiges are going to cause plenty of upsets. Having Reynolds out and the calm experience of Marshall proved a godsend for them. They are much better than a lot are giving them credit for.

Have to agree with alot said here, however the same two things we so struggle with;

1. BALL CONTROL;
2. OFFLOADS - CAN'T DON THEM NOR DEFEND THEM!!!
