Rich Vs Crows

Hopefully it's because it's one of those injuries that isn't really going to get worse. Nath said he was always going to play this week so I assume they figure there will be no long term damage.
 
Well at least we know the "real level" of the tigers in 2005.  I feel we have taken some big steps so far this season....  Like everthing in life, it's going to be a step by step process.  Look for more wins in the second half of the year, but i am sure there will be no finals.  Let's keep building for a big 2006.
 
Agreed. Wallace is learning more about our list and we've found some good kids. We've come a long way from last year but we've got to remember we've got a long way to go.
 
I still think the Dome is cursed. That comeback in the final qtr of the Weagles game at the G was the single most electrifying thing I've ever seen. Bring it on Swannies!!

Hmmmm.... must look out for some more cheap flights. >:D
 
You can't ignore the fact that but for WCE and Kangas (which we still lost) we have been uncompetitive against the better teams. We are a mediocre team but we are on the up from being a rabble.
 
i think tonight was the death of Terry's Triangle. it simply cannot be sustained against good backlines that love to run from defence. we are to tall and slow.

how many of the crows goals came from run out of defence?

also, how can a player be run down from behind? where are the shepards? where is the talk?

lets be honest, our forward line is toothless excluding Richo. The rest of the forward line should hang their heads tonight.
 
Jeez I hate hearing about this side "Pride of SA, ENVY OF A NATION"
People last year commmented on our poor skills level
Do you perhaps think that playing at the Dome highluights this
A better game plan, but skills still the same
????????????????????????????????????
 
I just got back from the game - left at the 20 minute mark. It was my first time at seeing the boys play this year due to certain circumstances. To see what i saw tonight was a real disappointment to say the least and im trying to be positive. But i love going to the games cause you see what is going on off the ball and behind the play which you dont see on tv.

That being said - gee there are a few players actually that really want to have a bloody good hard look at themselves and where they are at and where they want to go in their careers. I love the tigers but some of the efforts out there tonight were not up to standard.

Sorry guys im gutted. But a special mention to Richo who should not of been out there tonight for really putting some respectability in to the scoreline. And for those feral crows supporters constantly swigging their beer and swearing constantly at him in front of those kids in front of you - you are a disgrace!!!

Spot on in all aspects

Agreed TGN. But aside from form, I still think the Dome has a strange underlying psychological impact that has a negative hold on our guys (albeit unconsciously) which was heightened by Browny's injury. I've never been there personally so I can't comment on its energy, but hands up any Richmond supporter who really loves going to the Dome?? (Diggles and Laff put your hands down now!!).
 
The bloody dome does not have any bloody relevance into getting smacked like we did tonight....that arguement is just ridiculous...
 
Give it to 'em TW!!

We just don't have the class across the field to challenge good teams yet. Take Brown out, negate Cogs, play a couple of guys carrying injuries and bingo, we get pumped.
 
Tis very poor display by senior players.

Bowden crap turnovers, Chaffey crap turnovers,Graham ordinary is time to go, Morrison, looked very slow and reactive no comment, Pettifer no impact at all and shirked a couple of hard contests Stafford, doesnt even look interested, is a blight on RFC that Deledio put into backline to provide dash and skill, as with Jacko who tried to take the initiative and take a risk and take crows on good efforts, Hyde good honest game ran well, Newman has dropped right off in last 6 weeks, Knobel not anywhere enough around ground, with Rich on one leg, Crap skills crap decision making and too many duds = the end result i am afraid.
 
So he bloody should - they should walk out of there with the paint peeling of the walls!!! Not good enough....I dont mind getting beaten but the performance tonight was just frustrating.

The surface is slippery, though looks like not as bad as last week. Still, both teams have to contend with that.
