    Tigers Deep Dive of the Week

    100%, and in my view it is the lack of expereince that has us making decisions too early or not follwoing the lead of the inside player. Getting stripped for numbers happens easily when a playmaker forces defensive decsions while they still have the ball in hand.

    Tigers Deep Dive of the Week

    I personally thik you are right and I expect that the system is the same but the execution just isn't there. This could be related to coaching ability or simply that we are lacking first grade quality players in our top 30 (most likely).

    Tigers Deep Dive of the Week

    2026 Deep Dive 7. What has happened to our defensive resolve? I want to move past the generic "they didn’t show up" or "they lack heart" rants. Let's look at the mechanics of our edge defence. Recently it hasn’t just leaked. It has, at times, capitulated. NRL defence is a game of microscopic...

    LIVE GAME Round 16 v Dolphins

    I think we should be able to deal with their middle so the key for us will be having the defensive resolve in the backline to cater for their attack. At the moment our reserve graders and reshuffling are causing issues with our defence; either committing when they shouldn't or not...

    LIVE GAME Round 16 v Dolphins

    I think the reality is that we only have 18-19 first graders in our roster whereas we need to build this up tot 23-24 to cover for injuries etc. As expected in pre-season the lack of depth in the back row and centre could be an issue - and it has proven to the be the case. What I am not seeing...

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    I agree that there are certainly errors in his game and our system - our kicking has certainly regressed. However, the issue I was adressing at the time I pulled this togethr were the claims that Luai was underperforming across the board - pretty much since the announcement of his defection...

    Tom, Thanks, but I don't care about being criticised for my opinion. In fact I welcome it as it is a way to learn and understand other opinions. What I can't stand is being accused of posting AI generated stuff as original thought.

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    So where do you get off accusing me of lacking origianl thought? Go back and read the context - I wrote it specifically as a counter point to the narrative that was being pushed here at the time. Instead of slandering posters who have differing opinions, which is pretty common here, I supported...

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    Defintiey the lines to run, but with the Luais and Munsters fo the world it is also about timing, once they starts dancing around it is so easy to be too early and if you miss the cue too late. For Sukar he just needs to run the lines, expect it every time and not be dissapointed if he misses...

    OFFICIAL Jarome Luai - #295

    Without knowing the detail I think the real issue isn't the attacking coach so much as the rotation of edge players. It took 12 months for Samuela to know where to be consistently, in time and space, when you have a player like Luai bouncing around the joint. I think our attack has looked poor...

    And the results in all grades over recent history speaks exactly to that issue. If the club (Wests Tigers) are saying they need more coin to get the pathways sorted (straight from SM's mouth) and we are getting 0.26% of the profit from a non profit organisation, for a football department that...

    TEAM LIST Team Vs Titans [Round 15]

    The art of the 9 isn't quick ball. This is a simplistic take on it. If this was the case Hope would be a great 9; but he isn't. Quick ball doesn't necessarily get our forwards onto the ball at the Ad line or provide time and space for our halves. The art of the 9 is to keep the A and B...

    They still hadn't got the system right last year - but were working towards it. Now we have the system but not the depth - we are a work in progress.

    No, they choose to invest more in other community activities. Look at the numbers and see it for yourself. Also take five minutes to read the objects of the constitution and make a determination for yourself if you think they are meeting the intent.
