LIVE GAME Round 19 vs. Sharks

[Merlot]

For a team that I reckon is playing with little or no confidence to start with, Api's binning makes it just that much harder to hang in there and keep battling Imo.

wow ,that binning.what a joke,all conspiracy theories about ref;s being bias towards certain teams aside,but something is rotten in Denmark

Again I don’t imagine we have an extremely high number of Polynesian players, it is fact.
It is also fact that Bula’s tackle bust numbers for the majority of this season have been extremely low compared with every other fullback playing NRL including the fill in fullbacks.
I acknowledged he was much better against the Storm and I also acknowledge his attacking opportunities last night were very limited which was no fault of his own.
With the numerous posts where you criticise anyone and everyone, I have yet to see you ever post a solution ?
Tell us Einstein, what players should Wests Tigers be looking at signing and offloading and how do we get out of this mess ?

As does every club in 2024!!

Walsh is killing it right??? Another non-tackler!

Are you more familiar with netball than rugby league??

Defence WINS rugby league games - NOT wankers like Doueihi and that [This word has been automatically removed] Nofa!

FYI - we need players with the CHARACTER to make the 1% effort plays when NOT playing from in front - especially in defence - like BULA - POLE and your pre-season fave GALVIN!!

Fulton - Halatau - Galea - O'Neill - Gibbs - Skando - Payten were those players for us in 2005 - and we need more blokes with their work ethic!!

Taylan May does not meet any viable criteria as a recruit!!

The ref was set on concocting a professional foul when Bula made the tackle from the break - but they got up too quick so he found another excuse!!

It happens too often. Api's last sin bin was heavily criticised by Anersely, I expect the same again in the wash up of this round

If it turns out that Api's sin binning was ANOTHER mistake by the ref, being 3 in 2 weeks, I hope Richo kicks up a stink.
It's just not acceptable.
The bad decisions are stuffing the game for the players and fans.
I was really 😡 after Api's sin binning.

Stef’s fault that one.same when Sam Fainu stuck a hand out.

At least Stef stuck out a hand - Adam literally avoids any collision!

 

[BZN]

Get Lobb off - have bad is his defensive reads. There was no need for him to go up.
You just stay on your man and use the sideline as your extra defender....it is not rocket science.

Imo, he panicked because he knows his defence is at best crook.
So, he thought I have to go out and get this bloke before he runs at me.

And coaching staff should have pointed that out during the week.
Attention to detail - non existent at the Tigers.

 

[BZN]

These guys are hurting my mental health.

Just shows the dreadful effect a crook footy team DOES have on our mental health.
It was only a week ago you were trying to encourage us to hang in there as things will get better.
I wonder if we can sue the club for mental torture 😢.

 

[BZN]

Would anyone miss this team if they were removed from the NRL?

YES, the other 16 teams that treat playing us as a practice match and the thousands of supporters from those teams that get a laugh from watching their team 💩 on us.
So, you would have to say we are indispensable 🤣.

 

[BZN]

Yep 🥺

Yep, me also 😱

 

[Merlot]

Yep, me also 😱

nah,no dead beat team will upset my day ,anymore,lol

 

[BZN]

Our games would be played on a loop in Hell. Disgusting🤮

Gotta hand it to Bula (and anyone else) who didn’t completely give up.

Chin up, Up, UP Lauren 🙂.
I 💯agree with you though.
The only good thing about this season ...so far...is that we haven't had 80 scored against us YET as @bptiger 0 mentioned.
Ps,
But we are very capable and talentless enough for it happen before this season is over 😀.
Pps
I really don't know whether to laugh hysterically due to madness setting in or just give in and cry uncontrollably 😱.
Maybe a bit of both eh! 🤣😢🤣😢🤣

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

This attack on Douehi is starting to look like the attacks on Farah? I hope it is not racially based.

My brother I am Lebanese & he can't tackle for shit lol

You also have the score points, even the best teams rarely keep their opponents from scoring a minimum of two to theee tries per game.
Do you realise how difficult the mindset of players becomes if defending well, but not able to score any points ?
So now your telling us Reece Walsh is not an elite player because he makes mistakes and is not a great defender ?
Those players you named were great for us in 2005, it is now 2024 who are the players who will help Wests Tigers climb the ladder in 2025, you are aware we need a squad of 17 each week ?
Taylan May doesn’t fit your description of of a viable recruit. Myself and many other Wests Tigers funnily enough like quality players in our side and would love to see him play in our side, if and when he is cleared of the charges he is currently facing of course.

In a bizarre charge, Will Kennedy has been slapped with a grade 2 contrary contact charge for colliding with the ref when he was trying to support a break.

 

[shiretiger]

Turned it off after 20 minutes as I was going to have an aneurysm due to the corrupt officiating.

We are bad enough as a team that our opponents don't need free leg ups. At one stage Gee should have just scored the try himself he was that blatant.

My 17 year old daughter was at the game - she is a Sharkies member - and had sufficient smarts to not mention the game when she got home, or since. That game has been memory holed.

 

[Halbrowne61]

Nope.

Said it didn't matter...

Context, being we lost and that would've been the result even without the binning.

Would rather use the potential $10,000 fine for another family holiday !

Annesley says “ got to look after the refs and send a message, to all levels of the game, that refs are sacred and must not be touched ,accidentally or otherwise !

 

[BZN]

That works fine then no?

Benji isn’t a coach - he’s a recently retired player…
Farah and Heigno aren’t coaches either

But Morris is an ex-1st grade coach, and quite a few on here wanted him as our head coach.

 

[BZN]

Dude chasing a kick and making a tackle with pressure should be the norm not the “amazing”.

I agree with you tho - in our team it looks amazing bc the rest of the team don’t do it.

But for good clubs it’s standard lol

Yep, a big lack of desire to get to the ball and pressure the receiver.
Thats what nearly all our players are lacking, desire.
