Should have won by much more than that 18-14 get real. By far the better team for the whole game except the last 5 minutes. Lucky Corey landed that goal from the touchline and Benji hit the post if it happened the other way round we would've had GOLDEN POINT. Performance score out of 10. 6/10

I thought it was a good performance in general, other than the last 5 mins. The Tigers defence was good, and I loved the patience we were showing. That kind of maturity wins premierships.

I'm impressed with Glenn. I always felt like he wasn't as explosive as a Gilett or Thaiday, but I can see that it's not his role to be, and he plays his real role perfectly.

Hodges needs more ball when we are on the attack.

another really good performance from Wallace, if he keeps that up we could be missing him during origin

I doubt it, Pearce is the NSW golden boy, he gets everything handed to him on a freaking golden platter.

A solid win without being too flashy. Tigers made some woeful errors in the first half & we really didn't take advantage. I too liked the patience shown with the 4 repeat sets in the 2nd half. A mature side which seems to be growing week after week.

one thing that disappointed me this game was Hodges kicking the ball deado with 90 seconds to go. If we kicked that downfield, chances are we would have tackled the final minute out. Just seemed like Hodges felt we had done enough, seemed unprofessional & not the attitude that will get us to a qualifying final. I know it wasn't just him & the whole team clocked off, but that play really stood out to me.

I still think Gillett, Te'o, Glenn are all performing guns. I don't understand why there's no love for Te'o.

Another thing, Peter Wallace is the best NSW halfback in the NRL then daylight. I hope the blues don't pick him. 2 kicks he completed tonight which were catch-kick in the same motion were sublime. Please don't select him Sticky.

Not the greatest win, but another 2 points before SoO season, gotta be happy with that.

A good performance that lacked some polish. If the judiciary is consistent Teo will be charged like Pritchard was. I thought he was just unlucky to get him high. It Looked like an awesome shot when it happened. Any news on Teo's ankle? Frustrating first half to not lead by more but Tigers blew some chances also. We got the Two points which is what matters most at this stage of the season.

I'm going to make the call now, but losing Wallace this year would see an effect more detrimental than when we've lost Locky in the past.

I think that the real call you make should be to a helpline instead.

I don't expect many to agree with me :)

Big improvement needed, we seemed to take the foot off the accelerator and played rather slow (although the refs werent gonna blow a penalty for us for all them laying on Broncos players in the tackle for so long)
Hodges was very impressive as was Glenn and Wallace, Gillett needs to calm down and just wait for the right time to explode because he wasnt at his usual breaking self tonight and dropped a dead set pass for a try

Big improvement needed, but ill take the win

Wouldn't be far off the mark. Wallace has been huge for us. So underrated as well IMO

your pretty close to the mark there, i am very happy we re-signed Wallace instead of chasing Cronk. Wallace has been great from us in taking over Lockys mantle of no1 play maker. just have a look at the POTS this season he has polled 1st or 2nd in 4 of the 5 games and after tonight i expect him to make it 5 from 6 games.

Wallace also comes a hell of a lot cheaper than Cronk, we can use the money saved to help us lock up some of our younger players

 

[Foordy]

I can't believe that we only received 1 penalty all game. and that was so blatant that the refs had no choice but to give it... that still didn't stop Farah from whinging about it.

"just get your timing right mate" comment from the ref about a hit that was 5 minutes late :shake:

We should've won that match by 20 easily, so that's frustrating, but it was an impressive display in lots of aspects. Wallace just killed it again, he's playing the house down. Normans improving nicely too.

I'm a teo fan too, just a shame he's been plagued by injuries over the last 12 months. Couple of bone rattlers and some good running, I'm still holding a slim hope of us re-signing him, he's the type of player that will go to a different team and be an absolute gun.

I'm starting to think that the way Norman has been playing is a deliberate ploy. Not that I mean to say that the way he's been playing has been poor. I just think that with the expectations of replacing Lockyer being so huge, Hook is doing an amazing job of just letting Norman do what's most natural to him without much pressure to direct the team around like Wallace. Once he eases into his role, we'll really start to see more cohesion between him and Wallace, and hopefully Macca and Hoffman too.
