Plenty deserve to be dropped but we have no depth but you just can't have wingers or centers that cant defend
Makasini is a kid who needs at least a full year in reserve grade as he has zero positives at the moment
Tavana is a little better but also is always out of position
Murray and Geyer are NSW cup level at best
Luai creates very little and confuses our attack
Seyfarth is also a weak link .
Ordinary games from May and Pole and Madden .
Our Squad of top 30
Is basically at start of the year
1-15 very good
16 - 30 ( reserve grade standard)
In other words NO BLOODY DEPTH
So lose a few key players to injury and we can't field a quality NRL team
Benji got carried away with a few kids that shone in the trials and then kept backing them !
He made bad bets and lacks judgement
Club also must recruit more depth .
Today is a very dark day with a team playing dumb and as Benji said
" were not even trying " Shameful way to treat the fans

I sat behind the posts and I have to defend Tavana here. He did a great job today considering. Yes a couple of time they stripped that side, but thats to be expected when the rest if the team is being run through like kindergarten kids. Turuva and Tavana did a great job on McLean and Jenkins.

Luai saved our arse on numerous occasions last week with his D or we don't win that game. We are as much of a reality check for him about playing in a bottom club compared to a top club, as we were in thinking he could make the difference we needed to get out of the doldrums.

Jarome has been a good deal better than most have given him credit for prior to this afternoon this year, but today was way below what he needed to bring.

Especially so when he was at marker for the first dummy-half try and when playing hot potato with a bunch of similarly poor others near our try line.

There isn’t one. Even the teams that finish below us never get done as badly as us. I actually thought this season was going to be different and we wouldn’t be the team that got flogged by the highest margin for once. What a fool I am!

Crowd today 21,803, really surprised me after only 17,000 + v Dogs.
I think it shows how Dogs fans have dropped off.

Yeah well ours might drop down to 5,000 next week too. Who wants to pay good money to watch the shitshow that is the Wests Tigers, only masochists.

The effort was there at the start of the season … not seeing it now… they turned up last week ..but perhaps that says more about how the Dogs are going …

The Tigers went through a similar period last year where they were in the duldrums for a couple of months … I don’t really understand it …
 
I can cop a loss as well as any Tigers fan out there and I have copped plenty over the years....

But what we dished up today was completely unacceptable and not up to standard for a professional sporting team at any level.

There are country rugby league teams running about in Timbuktu playing with more passion and heart than the Tigers displayed today ......
 
I'd love to know what our "nursery" is producing. Surely for the last 10 years, next to nothing (considering where we have been sitting on the table). We can't produce (or retain?) our own and can only pay for has beens - a vicious cycle unaltered by whoever wears the coach's hat or manages the whole thing. Yes, we are not alone in the NRL, but on the field, there is not much that separates us (from the rest of the underperforming clubs).

I already have tickets as well... Not the added costs of flights from QLD though.

Surely we don't play that bad 2 weeks in a row..... But honestly if it wasn't our last game at liechardt for 18 months I'm not sure if I'd be going ......

I haven't read any of the previous comments. I'm sure none of them are positive and neither should they be. I turned off at 36 nil. In the space of one week, we have returned back to the bad old days of complete ineptness. There's no way, even with the various outs, that we should be capitulating like this. What a gutless, lazy and absolutely pathetic first half effort. Penrith are very good but not 36 nil good. We handed them the game on a platter. I feel embarrassed to be a Wests Tigers supporter. 5 out of 7 to start the season - what a false dawn that was.

Mate, if it makes you feel any better I walked away after a few minutes, the first time Pole dropped the ball.

I have had a gut full of that clown, to use the old saying he has hands like feet and his ball security is non existent.

You can count on that clown making handling errors every game and I have had a gut full of it because more often than not he sets the tone for the game and I just can't cop it anymore.

Cannot understand how people rate this bloke, he has been a disappointment for quite some time with poor defensive efforts and abysmal ball security.

Just for the record, it's very rare for me to not watch a Wests Tigers game right to the end.

Don't know what the rest of the game looked like but after hearing the scoreline I'm glad I walked away just for the sake of my sanity.
