On the positive side...

It would be nice for the Tigers to start a game with a 17 tackle set for once.

It seems that Tigers have worse technique at slowing the play the ball without being caught than other teams.

We’re the worst team in the NRL period. Forget ladder positions, the teams below us at least put in, even when they lose. Not one of them have been as thrashed on the scoreboard as much as we have this season. We are a bloody disgrace.

It works in reverse too…. When the Tigers are in possession the play the ball speed is able to be slowed up very easily ,,,so they can’t get any momentum

People blame injuries and the refs but that doesn’t excuse 68 points and a shellacking 4 times in 5 weeks … you got to compete for the 80 minutes and on every play,,.. cliches maybe ..but they are reality ..

This isn’t a generational Panthers team.
There are several players in this squad who wouldn’t make their premiership winning teams.
Some of those teams were once in a generation, this one is merely very good.

just proves how weak the competition is and there bringing in 2 new teams when there not even enough talent in the league right now

Like you Tom. I admire the way you compete on every post. Our reserve graders could learn something from you.

The first graders...they be learning from Benji on the sidelines.

We had 5 players out mate ,….we didn’t put the NSW Cup team in

68-0 and the third worst loss of all time …

Thankfully Benji isn’t blaming the injuries

This has really upset you hasn't it? I haven't seen you fired up like this for a long time. I love your passion.

But, in fairness, they were 5 of our best - not exactly Seyfarth types. It obviously made a difference in attack...because we couldn't score...and defence because we allowed 12 tries in. That much is clear to all.

We should recruit depth is where we ended up last agreeing on the topic.

I love your arguing strategy here mate … you throw out a bit of bait .. you get the appropriate response it deserves and then you say “ that reallly upsets you”

I’m disappointed in the poor performances of the side , and the loss last week was frankly embarrassing….…no team should lose like that, and not many have

We argued the same a year ago….it didn’t happen

Maybe they don’t have the salary cap … which would bring up more questions than answers

You have a long memory. I don't recall...but we did end up signing great players, so I don't know what to tell you.

There is no bait or strategy here. Just observations. Appreciate your love though.

Those players were signed in 2024 …for the following season… KPP was really the only player they signed in 2025

Ok mate. What you thinking? Rebuild and 5 year plan?

 

[Tom Shines]

Ok mate,.. let’s start wih how much salary cap space we have left for 2027…. What’s the figure ?

 

[weststigers]

Just trying to give you a bit of feedback …

It was more of an assertion mixed with an assumption.

But you're allowed to be upset. I just worry for your health. Have you considered your family in all this?

You think I know more than Benji?

I'll guess if Hunt, To'a and Seyfarth get the tap, we end up with around 1 million to 1.2 million.

There is absolutely no positive to take from last week. I stayed away from making comments because I was somewhat emotional about the loss. Thinking back now with a calmer mind that was an out and out shit performance from the team and every single one of them should hang there heads in shame.

IMO the game is back to being reffed the same way it was last year and the six agains have dried out and teams are wrestling and slowing down the play of the ball with the good teams getting away with it. Not saying the ref’s cost us the game just saying the game has reverted back.

Any tigers team that runs on the park that includes Madden, seyfarth, Geyer, hope, toa, Murray, Herbert is not going to make the 8 nor 10 and maybe scrape into the top 12. I know these guys are depth but the fact that they have played or likely to play more than 6 games this season is a major problem.

Biggest concern for me is that we are likely to get lapped by titans this week.

Im a bit concerned about you mate … you have just done an 18 hr shift here … take a break … someone will step up with the excuse making in your absence

Well we’ll see if they get moved on
