LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

Live Game Discussion
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 be going ......
Surely? You mean that we don't let in as many points? Because in terms of performance, where we played badly in a row, the numbers are surely greater than 2!.. ;-(
 
Drop who and replace with who? Our depth is not FG quality. A few weeks ago Madden was the answer to all our woes. The wear and tear of the season coupled with a terrible injury toll and poor depth we are being exposed.
Canberra Titans and Broncos all much better squads than ours and are below us on the table - we fans need a reality check.
We did well to start the season but we can't cover our injuries and our forwards are just not cutting it.
 
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 …
Yeah...6 game losing streak last year but only that one bad flogging in.melb
This years streak.with a dogs win in between hale all been floggings..
Injuries yeh but...just heartless

Why is depth not first grade standard? Why can't the club ever get the formula right. We aren't trying to create the wheel. This club is pathetic and injust don't understand how we can never get it right. Benji is proving to be alot of talk and no action.
 
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.
I am not sure you can single him out. According to the stats below, he is not THAT bad. This said, he is part of a bigger problem, at the WT, I feel. And when fans walk out, or boo, at the game, it is time for everyone that runs the club to take a long and hard look at what they are doing, coach included.

Yeah depth is a problem but what about starters? Lets take our rose coloured glasses off

How many Tigers starting players would make the top ten teams. Not the fullback, wingers, centres, 5/8, second rowers.

Twal, Api, Douhie (Somewhere), May, Pole would. S Fainu on potential

No argument there
 
They can’t have pole and Alex shit fart defending in the middle either both are turnstiles
I have never ever seen Seyfarth win a collision in the tackle and he seems physically incapable of throwing them to the ground ..
Am so sick and tired of seeing Seyfarth waltzing with the ball carrier for metres in our direction and madden and pole need to be taoigjt how to use their shoulders to drive into the ribs or legs of the ball runner works .. they just get manhandled by the man with the ball

Because no decent player signs/ stays with West's Tigers to play reserve grade and there is a shortage of good players across the competition.

These are just some of our heaviest losses I'm sure there will be more to come
This is our STANDARD

That's a damming last five straight years of huge losses, with 4 of them being the worst and nearly half of this season yet to come.
