LIVE GAME Live Game Discussion, vs Newcastle - Rd 2 *Spoilers*

[izotope]

After listening to sheens post game I’m writing us off next week, bit of reff blaming going on.

We won the lottery all game and were still to dumb to cash in the ticket

We can all say plenty of bad things after today's game. Everyone's to blame and equally as bad in a number of different ways. However, Brooks needs to go and before anyone labels me a Brooks hater, I'd rather be labelled a crap halfback hater. All the good teams have a competitive half back and an organiser in the team. We just don't have this and It all starts and ends with the half back. We were a team without a leader or any direction today. GET A GOOD HALFBACK AND WE WIN MORE GAMES, SIMPLE!

Funny how this place is…. I’ve said nothing about ppl that say what they want for years, and as soon as I speak up and disagree with “the old crew” I’m called a troll. I guess it doesn’t pay to be civil on here. But you know what… no loss of sleep. Anyway, hopefully the tiger get it together next week. Surely they can’t be that bad 3 weeks in a row! Lol

If Hastings was our halfback today we win that game. Brooks was better than AD and had some good moments today but as halfback with the extra man, all that was needed was composure and control from the halfback. Newcastle had it, Tigers were panicked and frantic which stems from Brooks playing that way as half

Ur kidding Hastings is useless just like our playmakers , the only difference is the knights forwards ran into the ball , and they can catch and pass unlike our shit lot .
But don’t go saying Hastings is a brilliant player 🥴

All the opportunities in the world and all I saw was finger pointing of not my fault

Genuine question. Is a CEO ever responsible for team performances? At what point do you start to hold a CEO accountable?
I believe results on the field are part of a CEO’s brief. Pascoe has presided over years and years of poor results. He was also responsible for the Farah salary cap debacle. His one claim to fame was returning the books to the black. I consider that to be one of the easiest jobs a CEO has.
CEOs should be pivotal in driving club culture. In my view our culture is dreadful. We have no heart, no fight, no will to win against the odds. Pascoe has done zilch for our culture.
In my view he should go and go now.
Your views?

Well with WT you don't ever hold the CEO accountable especially in mixed company as they will come at you with an over inflated ego of importance.

Why single out Brooks, better than most today. The team was crap today.

He is halfback!

In the second half he didn’t touch the ball for the first ten minutes!

Only played well with ten minutes to go.

He looks lost out there. And he is supposed to be calling the shots.

Rabble

If Hastings was our half back today he would have been sent off lol

I hated Sheens at the end of his first stint with his special team selections and game plans. 2 games in, I hate him again

 

[jadtiger]

Who is the lady in the coaches box and does anyone have her socials?

I have no idea who she is but i hope she is going to be coaching in the future instead of the clowns we have now.It would be the only thing worth looking at during the game

 

[Tucker]

I thought Brooks was our most dangerous player today.
When Brooks runs why isn’t there a player each side of him? Don’t understand why none of our players want to spend the energy to score tries?
Just follow Brooks.

How about he tells them he is going and DEMANDS they be there?
That’s what a good half does.

 

[hobbo1]

the record show we win without brooks. including the trials. put wakeham back on

4 wins last year without brooks ?

When did I say he was brilliant? That's drawing a very long bow. All I said was he played with some calmness and composure and played simple. Which is exactly what we needed

 

[Gazman]

Any chance we can get Hook , he has been given the mock to get the spoon and yet his team are showing more ticker 😂

 

[Tucker]

Agreed.
I couldn’t believe he took the coaching position last year and was very vocal about it.
He hast been a good coach since 2010-11. What the boys are producing on the field with a far better forward pack is worse than what they were doing under Madge.

It’ll be worse next week and the week after that and the week after that .

I think he played crap like the rest of the team. He did nothing to organise out attack today and anything that looked even remotely (and I use the term very lightly) like an attacking play was lead by AD and he even sucked. Brooks should be organising this team and controlling what we do. He didn't do that and offered nothing more than poor attempts and running through a hole. He deserves to be held to account as a senior player and in the role of halfback too.

He should have been held accountable in his second year. Teflon Pascoe.

 

[Telltails]

Bulldogs will beat us by 50 next week if we go into that game with the same preparation. Free flowing attractive footy - absolute disgrace.

 

[Blaze]

It’ll be worse next week and the week after that and the week after that .

Lol don’t doubt that for a minute… but we are suckers for punishment…. I’ll be watching in the hood we pull something out for a better team like we sometimes do
