I have not posted in more than six months as I did not want to sound negative. Absolutely everything I, and many others, said back then has been proven to be correct.
It is not five straight losses...it is eight if you count last year. Eight straight losses. Many of them by big margins.
It is not "close battles", it is horrendously poor performances. That Dogs belting last year showed us how bad we are, yet nothing was done.
Worse...no one has developed. No one. Name a player any of us can say "geez, he has improved out of sight the last three years!"
Yet tons of players have regressed.
The coach has a shockingly low win rate since 2014. There is no game plan or style of note. It has been four years and we do not even have an identity.
His press conference today was insulting. We have not gone backwards...we just need to keep turning up...it is a matter of inches...we need to keep doing what we are doing. We are developing our standards.
Honestly? Our standards? Wow. Just, wow.
Parra and Souths will be slaughters. That will make it 10 in a row, most of them Z grade performances. Our attack is literally non existent. Our opponents have been half asleep most weeks, made record numbers of unforced errors, and still beaten us...and had us throw absolutely nothing at their goal line.
Today alone we had players pass along the ground, players fail to get into dummy half, players fail to chase a grubber into the in goal, players watch balls go past them without chasing...and on and on...yet he sits there and applauds our "effort plays".
Dolphins coming in has meant that recruitment is extremely hard. Seasoned vets like Bromwich bros, Kafusi and co. have gone already, and they still have 20 spots to fill.
We need a coach who can develop young players and clearly establish a style that we represent.
We need to do it before we are completely irrelevant. People are already walking away in their droves. We have become a laughing stock for younger fans and internet memes. You know you have hit rock bottom when people start their punch lines with "I actually feel sorry for the Tigers..."
The club has to act.
