How did it get worse?

There is a very simple answer to that, the fact is and always was the halves,namely Brooks. I have stated on here many times now and over the years where our issues lied. It simply makes me laugh to tears that people on here and apparently our so called coaching staff think that with an improved forward pack all was going to be hunky dorey totally unbelievable. Let's see, another coach sacking coming is there.

Still issues with character.
Top clubs recruit good people. In last year's world cup Robbie Farrah, as a trainer, was sent off in a game, then there was the issue he denied that he swore at Madge whilst running the subs. What sort of message does that give players if our coaches behave like that?
What do we do? Give him a coaching role with no experience.
That just one example of questionable characters at the club.

Tunks, I understand we are all hurting from the lack of success. But put the blame on where it really lies, not the true champions of this club like Robbie Farah. The reason we have been losing for the last 10 years is because of DH's like Jason Taylor who had no love for this club & by his attitudes forced out a whole generation of champion Tiger juniors. After that CH, we get Cleary who screwed the clubs roster by buying injured hasbeens, & then left to get a Penrith team that was coached & developed by others. Poor old Madge did his best with Clearys crap & it is only now that Sheens, Robbie & Benj are building this club from the ground up with the emphasis on our local juniors. Results are not going to be immediate.Give them time. Also, if anyone who wants the satisfaction of seeing success of a locally developed Tiger talent that will happen, keep on supporting. If you want a club that scams the salary cap, doesnt develop juniors & you want the empty feeling of bought premierships, support the Rorters.

Was my favourite player at one point, and would’ve been nice if things had turned out differently. But yes there’s just too much controversy surrounding him. He lost me after his tantrum when he was dropped to reserve grade for a match by JT. Not the kind of guy you want around the club in any capacity - I can’t see what value he would be adding.

Was the SOO hooker, dropped by incompetant dip crap who didnt have the talent of one of Robbies a8se crack hairs. Yeh, I might have been dirty too, & if you are totally honset, so would you be.

Madge did get crap left by Cleary.but he got the pathways back on track and recruited Api and Papi,Sheens and co are benefiting from Madges work and are doing no better 0/4 says it all....
 
I feel like we have more guys who are playing how Benji wants them to play. I've seen vast improvements compared to the first week from the following players: Kepaoa, Tupou, Stefano, Pole, and Blore.

Koroisau has Twal running better lines. He looks like he's getting closer to the try line each week. The reason he's never scored a try is because he has no idea how to run into a defensive line. Api is teaching him the footwork you need to be a try scoring forward like Joseph Tapine.

The 1, 6, and 7 are not doing their jobs and it is costing us games. Brooks looks totally rattled at the moment. The coaches need to put him in reserve grade for a few weeks or give him leave from the game. I don't think you can play a guy whose head is elsewhere.

Don't worry, all the blame isn't for Farrah, we can tee off on the celebrity apprentice too, you know, the guy who was bored at the tigers, had such an enlarged ego that he thought he had a chance of making it in super rugby, the same bloke who was a pretty lazy trainer, who has, after his reality TV career, decided he's an NRL coach.
It's hard to say all that without laughing out loud, but what is truly frightening is the club is endorsing it.
What the heck, let's throw Heighno in for good measure, sure he has no brain, but he's a "good bloke".

both of these things were confirmed not to be true but don’t let that stop you from living in your made up fantasy

Is it possible it’s too early to call?
I realise we haven’t had a win for 16 games, but you can’t count the 12 from last year because we planned for those losses, so in a way that’s a victory of sorts?
That leaves the 4 games this season and to be fair, that’s all this team has had together with our key players missing if not most, all of the preseason training.

Hang on a minute Tunksy.
You seem to be placing very little value on this massive injection of DNA? Not to mention the 5 year forensic and strategic recruitment master plan that will add more trophies 🏆 to the foyer of the world class Centre of Excellence.
 
They talked it up before a ball was thrown threw shade at the last coach disrepectfully, who to his credit has remained quiet, and now with what is considerred by most a better squad are 0 from 4 and about to face one of the form teams in the competition.
The next step can only be to sack the leaders because they have presided over years of failure backed the wrong decisions and are clearly incapable of knowing who or what is needed to fix it.
