Just curious Nofo's performance was so bad and very unlike the preceding few weeks that I'm wondering did he play with a busted shoulder . In the past his defensive lapses usually involved being caught out of position or being overlapped but this time he just couldn't tackle at all . So is he really injured and if so why was he playing ? Or is he not injured and WT just saying that as a face saver . If its the latter its attitude and maybe because he was told to look around .He's has a signed contract for this year and next two years !
Don't know what's going on but needs to be sorted . If he's genuinely injured than ok

Why isnt Will Smith getting a crack?

I queried his recruitment at the time was told "oh its a depth signing"

Really?
Cant be worse than Wakeham

I have seen a few of the state cup games...and will smith has been shockingly bad. I.e. makes Wakeham look like an immortal bad.

The one I am surprised about is Reilly. His D is not great, but his attack has been very good.

AJ and Talau are just as bad defenders...but neither have anywhere near his attack.

He was injured during the Cowboys game. Someone pointed it out in the live thread when it happened. Also noted he was shaking hands with Cows players with his left cause his right arm was busted.

Probably not fair to debut Reilly against those monster Sharks outside backs

Be honest. Is anyone here remotely interested or looking forward to tonight's game?

I have not missed watching my team for a long while but tonight there is a possibility that i will be watching the cricket instead because the team is well coached and tries there guts out.I can't say the same for what WT dish up as we are badly managed coached and the few blokes who have cared in the past we have let go for no reason or gain.As a club we have never been in worse hands and it is reflected in this abortion of a season,we are going backwards with a better side

Same. Such a sad era were in.

I will watch until the first easy line break or try. For years now, once they lose momentum, iit's game over. They fold instead of bouncing back.

Cronulla have won 9 of our last ten matches. They have scored over 100 points in their last two matches, and Sharks seem as keen on Tiger meat as Cowboys.

I would love to be wrong, but a 40+ difference seems most likely. They need to work together, communicate clearly and quickly to be in good position, maintain line speed and "stick" in the tackle. It's harder than it sounds, though. Given that the superstars of NSW have not been able to do this, it's hard to imagine the poor old Tigers players managing it.

I'll watch to test my resilience after only lasting 50 minutes of the Cowboys game.

In no way do I think that it is going to be pretty, pretty awful being the most likely result.

Notice our last 2 games vs Sharks last year both big losses by over 20pts and also notice not one player in our team tonight has scored a single point against them our 3 tries across 2 games Garner ,NuBrown and Maumalo and 2 conversions Douehi
Just a fun fact!
