And the LBP ...

Looks like defence was optional in that game ...

Interesting so far, tigers struggling to get quick ball. There appears to always be a falcons player on the wrong side

I think we've been unlucky with a few calls, forward pass etc. Tigers started slightly better.

Veainu is amazing

The flood forward pass was correct. Unlucky that it was given because they do get missed but still the right call IMO. (I would say that)

Fantastic, hes the difference at the minute.

imagine him and sinoti in a back 3 together for like the barbarians.

Wouldn't worry yet pooly, we'll be great first half and then rubbish 2nd

We're a bit too static. Tigers defence doing well.

That tom youngs knock on was unlucky.

Obvious knock on from Youngs, again We're unlucky.

Falcons will have someone in the bin soon if they don't lower the tackles

In fairness, Barnes gave a 5 second advantage only going backwards just before so I think it was a sympathy call

How did Nathan get Pooly's password?

hehe, i have no idea what you mean!

Tigers are starting to get into the habit of not being able to catch the ball...

It's common knowledge my password is "poolyisgreat"

We need a try on this visit. We've been 2nd best for most of this half

Why does Sinoti look like he's having a seizure each time he tries to step?

have to say that, he's a big ball of power though

Goneva needed that try because his defence was lazy previously.

Nice Finish.

Welsh taking Cole clearly off the ball there, shouldn't have been a try

My bloody feed failed!

More than we deserve to be honest. Tigers controlled that half for 35mins, they'll not be happy about conceding. Game on, we can't play much worse in the 2nd.

I don't think we've put a decent 80 minutes together so i'm sure you'll be better in the 2nd half.

Didn't see an issue there on the replay Nath, although my feed is poop

Cole was running over (across the pitch) and Welch pushed him into touch, another falcons player ran through the gap of where Cole would of been.

It was certainly a penalty to Tigers, but it's just another one of the instances that get let go in a game.

why are we trying to do some many late hits FFS

What on earth, how many were offside there

Genge has some pace for a prop

Latu was through the side then.

He can shift! Awesome player Genge if he curb his nastiness a bit.

cowpat again, touch judge was saying it was forward. Barnes just ignored it.

shot at the posts? ooof

It's all gone a bit flat at the minute.

oooh that scrum

Our garbage scrum strikes again

Poopie decision, Flood was bending down off his feet which allowed Latu to steal the ball

How did Falcon's fan rate Flood first start?

Kalamafoni is doing some big illegal hits. No arms, with the shoulders, hes going to do some serious damage.

He's using his arms IMO.

I thought he was too.

Vickers is utter dross in the set piece, i dont know why he keeps getting a game.

He's not. The Harris one was ok but hes done numerous through the game.

I forgot how many ex tigers staff are now at Falcons, how times change!

So the ref must be missing them all, but seems to pick up on all the newcastle high tackles?

Seems that way. No complaints with Falcons high tackles.

Tigers hair volume went up by 100% with thacker and harrison on.

Jonnny May FFS you beaut

10 tries in 9 games including Europe. Great stats.

Welsh around Thackers neck there
