Let's only worry about our own team.. ;-)

Based on 2022 NRL data, the Wests Tigers showed a significant disparity in Captain's Challenge success rates between halves, with a high 83.33% success rate in the first half (5 successful, 1 unsuccessful) compared to just 33.33% in the second half (10 unsuccessful from 15 attempts). NRL.com...

AHX - just to clarify... Based on NRL data, from which I quote "roughly 30% to 40% of games see the halftime leader lose, meaning a significant minority of matches are effectively "won" or turned around in the second half. While over 56% of winners are undefeated in both halves, comeback...

I think the real mental game will be how to prevent the players from reading what the media will no doubt drum up (Tigers resurgence...Roar is back..you get the gist..). Now more than ever we need our paws firmly on the ground. Team and supporters.

Back to the old chestnut of not enough first grade standard players to go around... Not going to get better with the expansion of the game, IMHO.

Probably a valid prediction.

They are professionals but they are also human beings, that read or hear things. Not all of them have the mental toughness that others have. As for the lack of support, a lot of the comments tonight are somewhat pessimistic. This may be more a reflection of the outcome of this single game rather...

But perhaps this is exactly the sort of pressure we put on the Tigers that they don't need. I know it is a script we've read before, but if we start to lack the support at this stage of the season, then who wins out of all of it?

When it is of our making, like tonight. Because if it's your own fault, then you (coach and players) know what you need to work on. The lack of variety in attack, or some of the injuries, may open up the opportunity for someone else to spark a bit more creativity. The other thing is the speed...

However, to his credit, Douhei has been goal kicking well. Perhaps, in his abscence, API will take over this duty?

I think we just need to work harder on some things (attack for one) - tonight hopefull EVERYONE would have learned a lesson. Souths defended well, but we didn't offer a lot of variety in attack. Need to use our heads a lot more, if we are to overcome.

I am still concerned that our edge defense isn't up to it. I hope they sort out whatever the (perennial) problem is!

Latrell ... you are kiddin!! Should have been at least 10m in the bin!!!!

Carries the team more than some others highly paid stars...

70% + possession...7 sets of tackles...Souths mistakes....and eventualy something to show...But we need to improve 100% with our attack!! .

Just remember to invite us all over for dinner or lunch.. ;-)

I am not sure where the evidence / proof that Benji has turned the culture is, to be honest. Truth be told, when a team wins, the critics go silent. Often, critics do not go away permanently; they simply wait for the next moment of weakness or failure to re-emerge, making their silence...

Sorry, the cryptic clue was in reference to this song, played over and over on Saturday, and hopefully lots more thru the season: Catchy!!

For some reason :-) A little work to be done on the edges, but overall solid hit out. The boys seem to be enjoying themselves, which shows on how we play. A below par Twal and to some extent Luai, against one of the poorest cowboys teams seen at Leichhardt. Without taking anything away from...

Some bar in Thailand? :cool:
