LIVE GAME Round 18 vs. Cowboys

[Frosty]

Got touched up plenty of times under Madge, never had a single big win under him though ...

We had a few, at least four 40 point games.

The irony is delicious.

The “Waah Hooper is saying bad things about us!” brigade will be up in arms again

Yeah well those people are what we call happy clappers.
The journos putting the torch to this club is exactly what it needs.
12 years without a finals appearance. Done over 74 to zip.
No one wants to sign here.
It’s an embarrassment to the code.

So the first deflection from a club official was “inexperience”?
I wanna keep track of their BS this week.
Zero accountability at WT.

Lucky we have an experienced board and coach otherwise things could go bad. 🤣

Only saw the first 10 minutes and had to go out. I thought they looked pretty competitive then.

Was shocked when I did see the FT score, christ the Cowboys must have scored at will.

I guess that performance is not ideal if you are trying to attract new talent to the club.

They bombed a couple of tries too and missed some goals.
That first 10 minutes or so saved us from triple figures.

I had to work last night and sat down to watch the last 30 mins of the game with a mate,the gallery in the bar gave me a hammering but I sat through it until the end....once a Tiger always a Tiger...
I really believe that Sheens coming back and getting the old boys club back,living in the past is the biggest mistake this club has made,and they have made some..
Once the Madge contract was up the club should have had a cleanout and start again with fresh new faces,new ideas in the footy dept and new front office...
we wont go far with Benji and Farah as rookie coaches,thats a pipe dream,we need experienced people ,I know Sheens is all that,his recent track record doesnt read well...I applaud them for trying something with with the old stars,BUT it has disaster written all over it...I just hope the team keep their spirits up,the young guys dont hang their heads and the heads of the club wake up really,really soon that we need change...

 

[Tucker]

What gets the players up now?

Benji’s shower toy?

 

[Frosty]

Sheens, Benji, and Robbie all had beef with the club over their exits. Wouldn’t it be funny if this was their revenge tour, like a bitter ex lover?

 

[Carefactor]

The only time I remember getting flogged was when I played for Berala and we had a tonne of injuries and only had 10 players. TC just said keep it tight in the middle and make the bastards run around us and even then it was (only) 58 - blot. With a few blokes back the next week we won but that shit still stung.

Who did u play.

 

[Tucker]

You’re kidding, all we get is worse, when’s the better coming. I’ve got no problem with how the Cowboys were either. If you want to be the best behave like a winner and be ruthless. Good on em. It’s exactly the response I’d want as a coach

Haha that clown @lathami has no idea.
He thought our loss against Canberra was absolutely brilliant.
Now he is trying to provide a positive spin on a 74 loss….classic club shill, most likely the secretary with the bandaids on her knees.

It would be tragic not funny

Well it was wasn’t it.

Wasn't able too watch the game live, but thank god I didn't.

Turning point for me was when Tupou dropped the sitter that led to the try. We still have a core of players that lack resilience - without Api we have no-one steering the ship, looking for refocus etc. I have to say, I don't think it's the coaches fault. We are a fair weather football team with no depth. If we lose players and something goes wrong on the field, we implode.

Are the coaching staff performing well right now? Probably not, but it's going to take some time to get out of this mess. I get that everyone is fed up, but there's no coach in the NRL that could coach out of this situation within 12 months from here.

Biggest concern for me is that our young players are going to jump ship.

We played our best with Brooks and Wakeham...things were building, then club lowballed Brooks, he got the shits and left. The club hire a head of recruitment without telling the coaches. Decision was made by people who have a proven track record of making the wrong decision; they chose to ignore the opinion of someone who has won 4 premierships and built clubs for success before. Too much ego...absolute amateur hour.

As mentioned above, coaches probably aren't getting everything right, but it's a no-win situation and they are having their legs cut out from underneath them. Changing the coach won't fix this, changing the management might, provided they hire correctly. I have absolutely no faith that they can get that decision right.

We are screwed boys and girls...no way out, unless they NRL come in and split up this disaster, we'll always be last on the ladder. I'm a Tigers fan from way back, but I'd be happy just to move everything to Wests and start again.

After us getting smashed by the Cowboys I watched the Swifts v Fever netball final. The Swifts were behind just about all game, sometimes by 5 or 6 goals. They were down by four with a couple of minutes to go and got up to win with 3 seconds left on the clock. They showed absolute toughness and resolve to win a game they should have lost and move forward to the grand final next week. Their will to win is remarkable. West Coast played fabulously as well.
If I was coaching our WT pea hearts I'd sit them down and make them watch that game all week on repeat.
There were a few NRL players and ex-players in the crowd including Latrell, Trent Robinson and Nathan Hindmarsh.

Cool story

 

[Demps]

I like Tupou...

But yeah, he was terrible.
Lots to work on if he wants to be a proper full time first grader.

I think he has it in him, just needs some investment in him.... hoping our coaching staff can be the right people to do this, have my doubts though.

Was thinking over night about that loss and the only conclusion I could come up with is the players have to be pissed of with players been punted and brooks walking out the door , they just didn’t look like they wanted to be there after 15 minutes. I know back in my day if you new players were been punted or leaving it had a negative affect on all the players . I know we need a clean out but u have to have a plan and sell to the team , doesn’t mean they have to know details , but they need to know help is coming soon

 

[innsaneink]

Seems to be working wonders then

Maybe if the happy clappers followed suit
change would happen.... But as I stated elsewhere for every person that does what I did, there's another 10 or 20 the following year will get conned into buying a membership

I'm probably a grand better off for it tho

 

[Telltails]

Imagine being IP knowing that Joffa was shown the door to go to Parra - bet he was screaming please turf me. If they couldn't work out how that would impact on him alone they have got rocks for brains!

 

[TigerMitch05]

so what does pascoe say to the major sponsors and members and fans after that. How do we recruit young guns if we get belted this badly.

 

[BZN]

74 zip? [This word has been automatically removed] my club I still love her lol

You're a better man than I am Kaito.
For me...she's done me wrong, so it's back to just friends but with NO f'n benefits.
