LIVE GAME Round 21 versus Panthers

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Please lets try something different for next week otherwise if we come with the same effort shown tonight we will get rolled by 50.

Drop skelton replace by Staines
Drop Seyfarth replace with Solomone sukara
drop bird replace with Peter Taateo

how does this help us ??? we look lost in attack with our 6,7,9 might get a little better go forward but its not gonna make us attack better

 

[Twodogs]

I see the sentiment has turned on Benji. He hasn't lost the players, but he's lost the fans.

That has to be coaching. It’s happened for years.

Since 2014 Tucker it's 4 one out hit ups and a bomb. We throw the ball just for the sake of throwing the ball with nothing happening. There's no direction.
If we're going to go one out I get it cause our forwards are smaller and should be more mobile so we should be able to get speed through the ruck but no. We're slower than a bus.

 

[Tigerscout]

Turuva - decent player, but few mates out there.
Skelton - there's a reason Gould didn't fight for him.
To'a - doesn't stick to the system, lazy most of the time, except the odd occasion he decides to shoot out and collect nothing = opposition try
May - good now because he still has Penrith's system in him. Give him another 10-15 games and he'll become a Wests Tiger.
Tu'itupou - solid, deserves another game at least
Luai - defensively solid, but not providing another in attack. A large part of it is very few player's around him offering little threat.
Latu - see May above - has become a Wests Tiger
May - ditto
Api - speed bump
Twal - if not for the Wests Tigers, he would be a no-name in reserve grade or lower
Seyfarth - ditto
Sukkar - still young, and has no help in this side.
bird - over the hill
Doueihi - if this was american football, he could be a gun. Unfortunately, he needs to defend too in rugby league.
Pole - fallen off a cliff
Hope - reserve grade tolier
Sione - probably been the best middle of recent times

Marshall - played off the cuff. Seems to coach the same way.

I think it’s more about how the players are utilised rather than the players themselves, there needs to be structure in the substitutions. Hope is a good set of fresh legs when used correctly. We need to anticipate where the momentum switches are and choke them out by using our bench

I’m out at dinner with the family.
Thank god I made the right choice.

Beef Wellington would beat the shit dished up tonight.

Wooden Spoon - WE ARE RIGHT IN THIS NOW...

When it comes to the spoon Wests Tigers are always in the effin game.

 

[Jolls]

Who's blaming Skelton? To'a tries to solve it on his own again, and leaves Jeral stranded like a bare ass in the wind.

No one - he has made plenty of defensive errors today - just making the point that this wasn't one of them.

I see the sentiment has turned on Benji. He hasn't lost the players, but he's lost the fans.

Think he might have lost both judging by the players efforts. Forget the love in
that seems to have been created verbally around him.
They love him coz he’s a sensitive new age guy, it’s just that is not helping their football.

how does this help us ??? we look lost in attack with our 6,7,9 might get a little better go forward but its not gonna make us attack better

forwards run with no purpose, half hearted runs destroy any following plays, we have no halfback, our million dollar man runs and kicks like a headless chook.

Just be careful of the mushrooms !

 

[Tucker]

Penrith would have beaten every team in the comp today. They are relentless

They werent excellent. How many passes went to ground? They had a lot of possession in good territory and didn’t convert a great deal of it.
I don’t think they beat the top teams tonight.

 

[ATown]

Poor Latu hooked at the end

Copping blame for an atrociously coached side

Latu is a running 5/8. I’d love to turn him into the next Katoa but it’s not happening. This club will never be competitive until we bring in a classy, game managing 7.

 

[Chunk]

Biggest problem is we are continually dominated in the ruck, its hard to put on any play when the opposition defensive line is set.

And our kick chase is terrible, may again because we are on the back foot.

than spread it and attack more with our centres

 

[Bellend]

What does Benji say to this team back in the sheds? There's nothing good to talk about.

I am resigning . Benji experiment is done and dusted.

 

[Tim Sheens]

I couldn’t be bothered watching To’a play half arsed anymore. Give someone else a shot.

Yeah, but I don't want to see a kid exposed for no benefit. 8 months of further growth is hugely beneficial to a just turned 18yo in becoming a man.

Saukuru is 20yo, so I would like to see him get a bit of exposure in the back row

 

[BAGNF05]

Latu is a running 5/8. I’d love to turn him into the next Katoa but it’s not happening. This club will never be competitive until we bring in a classy, game managing 7.

Both our halves are runners but we lose the physicality battle, never playing over the advantage line. Need some quality pigs.

theres been games this year when ourforwards have played well and we still looked bad in attack

 

[weststigers]

I don’t think they beat the top teams tonight.

It's their intensity in defence and in attack. They do everything at speed. We rushed in a few times on Talagi who makes a lotbof mistakes and he did today. Talagi is their only weakness and the other 16 carry him just fine.
