LIVE GAME Round 4 vs Storm

[Eternal Tiger]

Why do you support the WTs? I'm interested to learn. As a supporter no matter how bad matters get, WTs is my club and I support it, the players and the Inner West and Campbelltown and Macarthur regions it represents.

I've supported Balmain since 1982 and Wests Tigers since 2000. Have been a Season Ticket Holder for years, when is the Club accountable for giving us a side that can actually compete?

I think Nofo would like to go back to Melbourne, & if we could get some money for him, let him go. I was a fan of Nofos but he seems like he doesn't want to be here.

I think we all were in the day when he ran hard but he's not interested, seems to think he deserves better and is a terrible defender.

I think the saying goes” ya pay your money and you take your chances “.
Pity we can’t put a few salaries on hold.

Have to bring in a new 1,6 and 7 for next year.

And they must be actual 1, 6, and 7, not manufactured, or try them here and see how they go. We need a fullback who's always played at fullback. Who knows the position inside and out. Same for the halves. Actually, we need 2 of each, do if the fullback goes out injured, next week, he's replaced by an actual fullback.

Like backing a horse you know can't win.

I know but it always looks worse when it is backended. You can thank Cleary for that contract!

Madge re signed him to his current contract, not Cleary

Who cares now, he just has to be released at year end. Maybe if we told him that now, it may free up his obvious pea brain to throw caution to the wind for the rest of the season.

Well I have been a supporter of both brooks and sheens , but it has finally ended after watching 4 shit rounds , I just can’t understand how a team has not set plays , no depth in attack, and don’t tell me that it’s because we have a new group of players , look at what the dolphins have done . We should have heaps of cash for this year and next year we need to sack brooks , AD , and find a class. 1/2 and 5/8 . If I am bagging sheens then benji as a top class 1/2 I have to bag him also it appears he has brought nothing to this team. Fellow supporters get ready for our second wooden spoon 🥄

Brooks as 7 is a failure.

Why can't this club see it.

He's made decent coin, it's time tomsay goodbye

Unfortunately Sheens is a fan and has said in an interview the ‘team’ have to create more opportunities for brooks. 🤦‍♂️

 

[earl]

If we play Douhie in reserves he may ask for a release I reckon.

Freaken awesome. Do it.

 

[tigertragic]

Not his best game for sure but I thought Brooks was a mixed bag
He still looks more threatening than most, I wish we’d seen more of him with Hastings
AD is to me the bigger worry
Brooks looked more likely to make something happen than AD or Wakeham even if he did make way too many errors
He’s the best we’ve got, we do need a manager type to see the best of him though

Brooks did make things happen but not good things for the tigers team

Luke sheens on his salary should be creating opportunities for the team 😂

Nof hasn't wanted to be here for a few years swap him with Marion Seve or a cash swap whatever it takes

Paws we've dealt with this club being the joke of the league for a good decade. We want results and we want to improve we arent going to improve with brooks at 7

 

[earl]

Douiehi to centre, Laurie to fullback and Brooks to 5/8. 1 & 6 (and probably 7) aren't up for it but I think we just need to put up the best we have in each position. Tupou, Naden, Douiehi and Staines is a decent backline (staines weaklink imo). Really is 1,6 & 7 that we are seriously lacking in but realistically can't do anything this year about that. May as well try and settle on the rest of the line up in the meantime.

We are screwed.

Does Doueihi really deserve a centre spot ahead of Naden or Kepaoa ? He should be dropped.

Brooks and Laurie don't appear to be long term options but I'd play them for the rest of the year. Maybe move Api or Jake Simpkins to 7 and play either Brooks or Laurie at 6. Play one of the bench or in reserves.

I think I'd go with Staines at fullback. I'd consider Tupou there but I don't want to stuff his development up.

None of us are coming up with good options though. We don't have class players to play in key positions.

Made plenty of things happen. For the Storm.

They're a zealot. You won't get any sense or reason from them Fed.

Fans are pissed and have every right to be, that's because they care which is the reason anyone follows a team. Paws knows that but for whatever reason can't bring themself to criticise daddy Sheens or their adopted garden gnome/son because that might mean having to concede you bought into the bullshit.

The problem is we haven't had quality players in those positions for years. I also think this may be a contributing factor to Doueihi being so poor. Doueihi doesn't have to fight it out for a centre position and instead gets given key spine roles and he isn't up to it. It's partly his ego as well. It's a bad combination.

Funny though if Nofa threw that hospital pass that stains did tonite. You’d be calling the linch mob! Don’t think stains was much better than Nofa tonite. But agree he has really only just started and deserves a go. Tupou was a much better player than both tonite which is one shining light!

Tupou is our new Ken maumalo.
Getting better each game.
I’d leave him in there all season.
