LIVE GAME Round 18 versus Dragons

[TigerBurnsy]

No one overseas is watching mate … the crowd is 90 percent Aussies

I would much rather play them on a neutral ground Gonzo

My dad went for the knights this year and it is 99% aussies and uk no one from the us even knows it’s on

Tonight was the first game this season I didn't even care.. I've finally accepted how bad we are..

The early run of form probably had to do with the new rules and teams adjusting as opposed to us being good. Now they have all caught up, we look just as trash as we did the previous 10+ years. .

At least I can watch games now knowing for certain that we aren't playing finals... That false hope is gone

Pole is having a shocker in defence 3rd high shot I believe

Don’t normally notice Pole doing high tackles as they usually step him before he gets the chance

He is actually terrible in defence

Remember guys, we were leading this game with 13 to go and lost by 14… Hard to believe this is the same season I saw them destroy Newcastle at Campbelltown.

Backline looks awful. Can anyone remember the last time Turuva had a good game? We’re so heavily reliant on Taylan May. Toops could find himself playing NRL next week if he has a decent game tomorrow. Thank goodness Avarillo comes next season.

We’ll be lucky to get 10k next week. Probably only the Warriors fans coming out in force. If they don’t put on 40 they’re not trying hard enough.

As they say, it’s the hope that kills you. I think we all thought this year would be different. And yet here we are again…

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Agree, but whoever we put there will struggle behind our pop gun pack.

Benji is blind atm… every time sukkar gets the ball he goes left into the defence and Fainu goes right ,, swap them so at least they can pick up their outside men and run into space… seriously some of his coaching choices need serious intervention.. his obsession with madden is beyond belief,, madden is offering zero at the moment,, he panics in space and tackles with his arms… I cannot fathom why he cannot be dropped,,, ever

Well rego is nearly up, our old Wests Tigers number plates are dangerously (fine worthy) faded. After tonights performance, I have decided not to replace them with new ones costing $325-00, we are going to revert back to the standard yellow & black.
😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟😟

The boys club culture at this joint was started by Benji the player.
He now has a bunch of the 05 crew walking around living off a fluke win that none of them have ever been able to explain, managing a bunch of low IQ idiots calling each other “bro” every second sentence.
The whole joint sucks balls.

Based on the evidence of late .. you are likely correct ..

But how the hell did they start 5-2?

Can't wait to feel exactly the same this time next year. Whats that definition of insanity again?

 

[tigerbenji]

Gee young Maka is prone to head knocks and injury

He cops a lot of high tackles that seem to go u nnoticed

 

[simonsatiger]

At least they had the decency to not give us false hope for 79 minutes. We were put out of our misery quickly once Madden decided he couldn't be stuffed catching the ball anymore.

Dropped balls i get but wat about his pass that went five feet forward to a dargons player??

just putrid.

 

[Siberian Kitten]

Are you not entertained?

No, we are not.

Diabolical performance.

You have even stopped irrationally blaming the refs… I salute you

 

[Vicious]

Our forwards like Sukkar, Pole , Sayfarth , Sione, Bunty …

None of them cost us the game, but none of them have the speed or attacking flair tj help win us the game.
You cannot have a team full of toilers with next to no attacking flair, otherwise they contribute to being a bog average team who struggles to scores points is what we are now seeing.
If Benji and our fans have not identified that you need a certain element of attacking flair, we will just continue banging our heads against the wall.

 

[madgey76]

The whole team are just brain dead for ideas the bloke that really boils my blood is Bula the most overrated player on our roster lazy and absolutely no inclination to get involved only when a bomb is put up for him

 

[krissy]

They don’t deserve to go to Bali ,maybe a cruise up the Parramatta river

Let them just swim it.

putting crap on the 05 team is just low.

great team that played a great brand of footy and deserved everything they got.

 

[Tucker]

You want to know why Luai has not been the same? Look at the playing 17 then vs now. He was not on the field today, have a look what hes got to work with

No that’s not the full answer.
Luai was carried at Penrith by guys who really dug in and had a go against all opposition.
He is one of the luckiest players in history who really only muscles up against easier teams.
He is a bully.

 

[Betterdays22]

just putrid.

Im more worried about his kicking. It has totally fallen off a cliff. Maybe a product of our forwards being dominated now, rather than us dominating teams over the first 2 months

Jock Madden has always been a myth. He isn't first grade standard and never has been.

Benji is guilty of bad talent ID and bad team selections because of it, but no coach on the planet could coach that team we fielded tonight to do any good.
The forwards are ok, except what I and many have identified as no speed and no attacking punch, particularly on our edges.
Doueihi was once again our only real attacking threat.
Our 1-5 is far and away the worst in the NRL.
Until we fix that and overhaul our 1-5 plus get some back uk forwards with a bit of speed and attacking flair, it will not matter who our coach is as we will get the same result.

We do have a slow team, but I do believe a good coach could get a bit more improvement out of them. It's obvious by now Benji isn't that person, I'm sure he does have a good rapport with the players. Nothing is changing there, the whole football staff needs to change.
