white, hyde and simmonds shocking

[zippadeee]

if it is good enough to drop pettifer and tivendale its time for these 3 to spend some time in the 2's.

 

[Fighting Fury]

Thought White was alright...tried hard to give some run. Simmonds got found out today (WHY does he jump so early so often in the ruck?) and Hydey...well...I fear for his career.

 

[U2Tigers]

thought White was ok today - took them on and had ok delivery for the most part.

Simmonds - has anyone ever jumped so early so many times when contesting in ruck contests. Oh yeah their has been Pattison.

 

[Hypoxic]

Simmo has a serious knee injury and is soldiering on because they won't let someone else have a go and develop their skills. This is not fair on Simmo who is busting his gut, but can't cut the mustard because of his knee.

 

[Ripplestick]

Yeah Simmo is struggling with an injury big time, ideally wouldnt have played the past 3 weeks but no alternative.

Such a poor effort today by the boys.

The biggest problem in my eyes is our lack of gut running. We we get the ball we dont spread to create options and when the opposition get it, too few chase. They all want the result but not the hard work that goes with it. That is where we need someone, a leader setting an example and Terry not accepting these half arsed efforts.

In the last 1/4 we saw what life was like without Richo dropping into the hole in defence and leading on the wing and crashing packs in the forward line. The boys were left to live and die by their own efforts without the big fella saving their arse,... they failed.

 

[tannerztigers]

IMO White tried hard. Tried to break the game open at times.

Simmonds did struggle at times, but overall I didnt mind his performance.

Hyde ....

 

[Tigerfan]

Matty White is OK

Zipper you can't blame those three on today's effort. There were about 15 others who should line up for a smacking.

Having just got back from the game, all I could continually see was Blues peeling off either flanks and four or five Tigers running jogging through the middle.

You can't drop 10 players at once unfortunately. They know who they are.

 

[chickenspin]

where was Tambo today? Didn't do anything.

 

[feisty tige]

Nathan Brown, absolute shocker.

Richmond Tigers, absolute shocker.

The fact I felt crook before the game and made an effort to be there, it is a shame the players didn't show up.

Sickening.

 

[seven]

White was okay.

Is simmonds carrying and injury?

Hyde isn't up to it.

Where was patto?

 

[chris westcott]

I agree and hyde should never to play again

tiger by name but heart of a mouse, im sure that's got to be the motto at tigerland

 

[Bunnerz85]

Simmonds- Struggling, but I believe he is injured....maybe sore knee, should come back after the break better, if not, maybe a run in the 2's is possible
White- Played reasonable footy all year, isn't as getting as much as the ball as he has been, but his defensive pressure is exactly what we need in the team
Hyde- It's time to say goodbye and maybe give Connors a chance to take his place

 

[jb03]

Can't drop Simmmo. Perhaps the break will freshen him up.


Time to finally have another look at Connors surely.

 

[Brettstigers]

I know a loss isn't one person's fault but my first thought after watching the game was that Hyde should never be allowed to play in the ones again - some classic turnovers by him in when we had control - one of which was turned all the way around for a goal. Some times you need a swear filter in real life. On the plus side my little three year old twin girls learnt some new words today. :-[

 

[feisty tige]

First quarter was one of the worst I have ever seen.

Through the whole game, it was like RFC players were already on holiday, very disappointing, no one would run, and what was worse it looked like they were all playing for themselves again.

shockin!
