Im so tired of hearing thats on me !!! I trained them too hard this week!! How about they are weak mentally and stop standing up for them!! Benji that was your second year as head coach, surely you have some sort of idea.. Richo get him some decent assistants and let them actually challenge him

Yeah, second half was just old Tigers teams who didn't want to tackle and just wanted to play touch football.
That comes from lack of leadership on the field.
Spot on Tuck. No leadership on the field.
he does , we didn't get another spoon
Needs an Araldite injection.
i'd feed him a Tbsp. of concrete , Won't take his temperature with what you suggest
I think he is sponsored by Elastoplast considering the bandaging he has on.
Kleenex , wipe away your tears,harden UP

I think you’re right with this - certainly against the Cows and again tonight.
What I saw was one team wanting to win more than the other. They ran harder and tackled harder than we did. Their forwards were much tougher and stronger and when they got a sniff they were too fast for us. AJ Brimson smashed us as did Kini - both had too much speed for our guys. Toa got schooled all night.
Again we seem to fall away in games and lose the contact battle in D. We start looking slow to get off the ground and give away huge meterage up the middle. We are constantly on the back foot and this happened for the last 25 mins of the game.
Don’t know the run metres but it looked like their pack had it all over ours.

Can't blame luai for that he's always barking at them.
I just put it down to the thick heads and the young, dumb, full of (you know what) players in the team.
They need to wake up over the summer or we won't improve much.
He might bark, but what is saying and showing? Get to your 5 th tackle, kick long and chase hard. It's a simple game when analysed. If we did the simple things consistently we can compete with any team. We may not beat them but would win more than we lose. Certainly not when 16 up against the worst teams in the comp.

Perfect reflection of our season that one. So much promise that you almost start to believe but then just horrible weak mentality and massive disappointment.
There's a lot of quality footballers in our team now but we are collectively fragile. They need the best psychologists and physical training in order to make them more resilient. Until we show some of that we're a nothing team.
The Mays look like our most resilient players, not many with them. It's not easy teaching mental toughness but that's all this team needs. That and a dose of common sense on tackle 5.
We leave the year having lost three in a row and not really able to break any of our bad patterns.
The one real positive is that at times this year, and sometimes for long periods of matches, we've looked the stronger team physically. But this team seems to hate adversity and for all the big talk bluster, we're a little bit scared and nervous when we get a lead.
I really like most the players on our team, I think it does matter to them and that their attitude is better, skills are better, they're bigger and faster. But we still play just well enough to lose and ultimately we were nowhere near being a good team this year.
Latu is still not finishing games, seyfarth still with dumb errors, toa still playing like a shadow, pole still not able to tackle.
Also, the ref was bad. Real bad.

For the second last try, Mason got sucked inside, which led to an overlap - resulting in a try...
For the last try, Mason once again was inside AJ Brimson - leaving way too much space... Where was TOA ? Had he gone off injured?

Madden was signed for depth. We keep losing halves to injury. Madden is better than Mason and more experienced, if we have to have a backup half on the bench as we did today. Hopefully we won't see Mason in the 17 in 2026.
When was the last time we beat someone home and away? It’s probably not that long ago but it feels forever.
