Refs were dreadful tonight. How the F do we get penalised for taking a bomb and getting hit late? Likewise Tigers were constantly offside all night. Then there was the farcial knock on into Jackson that got Beau Ryan a try, and finally the 3 times Ryan takes out Barba without being penalised. First shot should have been a penalty, second should have been 10 in the bin for professional foul. Was pretty obvious who the ref had their money on.
But all in all, are we able to sore, just for once, a run off the mill average try like every other side scores a game? Every single try tonight had some element of flair or brilliance to it. Kinda like getting a cocktail from a bartender vs a flair bartender. I'm not complaining though because it makes for entertaining footy

Keating didn't have a good game in first half, and Reynolds went missing the first 40. Sadly for the Tigers Reynolds fired up the final 40, along with Keating.
We are still very unpolished as a side, and I think only playing as well as we need. 2 tries in second half in 10 minutes shows how potent our attack can be, and again our defence was excellent I thought.
I wonder why Eastwood was a late withdrawl, but either way Jackson and Finucane are really looking like a class act.
Tigers play us again in about 5 rounds time, and they'll be full strength I'd say. That will be a good test. How much better can we get before then.
