Important win but I don't know how you can win with so little ball movement. I thought the Tigers were clearly the better in general play. Scoreline flattered us IMO.

4 tries apiece. Tigers should have scored at least 2 more by my count. Though they got lucky with that ridiculous forward pass along the ground. We didn't dominate like the score suggests.
Never said we weren't the better team. We took our opportunities and they didn't. Tigers made far more inroads though. They looked the more likely. It didn't feel like a dominant 12 point win.
"A few years ago there wasn't many coaching options but there's a few out there now. As a starter - Brian Smith to Head of Football.
Potential coaching options in no order:

Justin Holbrook

4 tries each the Jennings try was a joke clearly no try plus 3 penalty goals to us. We were the better team

Eels only played well in patches but were never in any great danger of losing. It's a good sign when you don't play well yet still win .

Tigers marched forward in the first half because we were not dominating the ruck.
Tepai turned them around in the tackles and stopped that. He hit hard and ran hard. Wish he would stay if he get that back
Eels were more structured, played a percentage game and won well. Tigers had to play catch up for most of the match.
