LIVE GAME Round 23 vs. Raiders

[Fallen Angel]

True but feeling sorry for yourself and blaming it on the refs achieves nothing. We need to improve our attack if we want to compete in the NRL.

Not a week has passed in the last decade where some blame has not been laid at the refs feet.

Ok weak presser from Sheens. Very weak.

It always is and always will continue to be while the club has no aspiration to win before 2025.

Most cases I would agree the ref blaming is pointless. But not a couple of occasions this season, and tonight was one of them.

That was our game.

Yeah regardless of how crap we've been, we still deserve a fair crack of the whip.
The officiating (touchies esp.) was terrible.

I understand that but it's like Groundhog Day for the players every week when you know you won't get any calls.
I guarantee if these calls happened to a top team today there would be an investigation and massive uproar. BUT they don't happen to top teams.

That’s one of the advantages of being a top team. It’s a good incentive to become a top team

The feedback on here is all correct :
1. Yes, there were two questionable passes that were allowed to pass
2. Yes, we don’t know how to score enough points
3. Yes we continue to make dumb errors and take wrong options
4. Yes the 2024 outlook is grim given the same people will be in charge, irrespective of player changes
5. I’d like to add a couple more, imo Tupou Toa and Bula all tanked it today. Didn’t look really interested.
6, Without API at 9 we have no chance
7. Klemmer Nofa and Bateman are past it
8. Ice will probably ask for a release
9. Being a Tigers fan is one of the hardest things on this earth
10. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

When looking at things as a whole, we're just not mentally switched on for the full 80, still full of dumb errors. Have fight in us, but we're a young squad. Sad thing Is when it's our veterans who make silly mistakes. I'm a big Nofo critic but 100 tries for the Wests Tigers. Makes him the highest try scorer for us, Balmain and Wests the commentators were saying, great effort by him.

This is it 100%, and has been the case for years. Too many players play dumb and switch off for split moments that really cost us. So frustrating no coach has been able to get this out of our psych.

 

[Yossarian]

How many times have we slipped behind two tries and then shaded the rest of the match. First try was unfortunate but the second was soft.

IMO that should not be the case. Blatant calls should not fav top teams.
I think the NRL need to change the rules so they can rule on Blatant forward passes on tries. (Not line ball ones but ones where it is dead sets missed) Happen the other night also to a team and it's just not right especially when they rule on every other thing in the game.

 

[Curaeus]

Yet another example of incompetent officiating deciding a match. The NRL will trot out their usual fall guy replete with apologies and excuses but fat lot of good that will do us as usual. And the idiot who failed to see an obvious and blatant forward pass will back up next week-also, as per usual!

Craziest thing is jonsey, they can adjudicate
on forward passes if you challenge the call..
But for try scoring situations they don't get
the bunker to look at it, they don't allow
forward pass reviews. Isn't that crazy haha.

They can review if your a foot offside for a
try as well, but don't review a ball thrown out
of the hands that's gone forward. It's crazy

 

[diedpretty]

Glad youre happy after another loss. Lee or Pascoes mother's account?

I'm not happy at all but at least i don't keeping blaming certain people every game no matter how they play. You on the other hand are just a bore.

Disagree with 5, average game doesn't equate to tanking. Bula is the only decent thing from this season.

Disagree with 7 in RE to Klem.

Strongly agree with 4, 6 and 9.

They had a dig... Our seasons over long ago only a few weeks to go but they still tried their guts out.
There's no excuses from the players they're having ago which in some seasons past I've seen different
It doesn't matter either way results wise but they can leave the ground with their heads high

 

[bptiger 0]

I thought that too…. It seemed like he slowed down for the bounce. At full pace he probably catches it on the full

Come on be real he had a split second to make a decision

It's infuriatingly frustrating, we seem to just take things for granted and switch off. Heaps of errors are being made when we're not under pressure. E.g James having the ball stripped on hit up 1 after we score. We need to become mentally tougher. We are only a young squad so fingers crossed given a bit of time our young guys will get better.

Congratulations David Nofoaloma on achieving 100 tries for the Wests Tigers !
Thought someone should say something . What a club ?
