Going to market for a controlling half...

Don't know if this has been posted but
It's a good article. Our halves have let us
down massively. Pretty crazy numbers...

The Wests Tigers are the unluckiest team in the NRL - and the stats prove it

The Tigers have had the short end of the stick this year - but is it their fault?

While I don't disagree about our halves' inability to capitalise, think another stat (that's not being shown) is also important. We currently lead stats in errors and handling errors, a whopping 43 more than the team with lowest (Penrith). Believe we're averaging 15 dropped balls per game or something.
The teams who are just below us (Rabbitohs, Broncos and Storm) have some X factor players and somewhat great halves.

So while I'm not disregarding what you've said. I believe these other areas are significant too.
At the same time I wish we could hold onto the ball stop forcing passes and making rookie errors

Yes I agree with the amount of dropped balls we are seeing this year and it makes me wonder if it has anything to do with the 200 passes a session, it appears the more they train to improve something the worse they get.

The errors are killing us, an experienced well drilled team can recover, we just just don't seem to have the mental toughness to bounce back after an error it's been an issue for a few years now. Parra won off our errors gifting them field position

Yeah that's a valid point, absolutely

Koroisau really makes me so sorry as you can see he can't do more and he's trying to instill some trust and belief in (each other) the team, but like someone said it's like they get stage fright. Think someone even said he made reference to this team not being capable of playing on the front foot.

Bateman I like. He's a competitor and Staines was fantastic on the weekend.

Every tigers player on the field is passing the ball 200 times a game tho, that's all we practiced in the off season. So reasonable errors when compared to that?

I love Bateman. I'd watch @Kaito get a tap dance from him every day of the week

Kepaoa actually talked about the team currently working on their resilience and bounce back. There was also some discussion on building combinations - he and Junior Tupou.

Worried blokes like Api, Bateman and Papalii won’t hang around if something doesn’t change real soon. They are used to winning or at least competing.

Hmmmm. He's not exactly setting the world on fire but is consistent. Will be 32 this year. Could get him for two years I guess? Last Sheens year and first Benji year. I know I said the other day Lam isn't up for it....but IMO they offer very similar overall. Lam is only 25 so I'd be tempted to give him two years as if he goes well he could be re-signed...

We need to stop looking at old men. We need a spine we can build long term around. Bring the kid up from SG ball and develops him
