25 minutes in the second half with one prop

Does sheens know that we don't have Paul gallen?

And Fifita played about 15 minutes…once again our interchange is ridiculous.

And it didn't affect us at all - so I guess it was the right decision - their is no way we lost cause we didnt have any other props on the field (if that was the case- though I'm not sure it was) - our issues were

1\. Horrible refs

2\. Kicking early in the tackle count and generally bad kicking

3\. Inability to finish off tries - 3 times over the line in one way or another and none came off - Gibbs, Ryan, Fifita and usually at least 1 of those gets scored

And surprise surprise the Storm hammered us in controlling the play the ball.

I thought our forwards went really well, regardless. Melb's defence was just too good on the day. We got 6 penalities in a row in the second half and had most of the ball, so you could hardly blame the refs for this one.

 

[fergiefurr]

we got down the storms end due to penalties, not making meters.

overheard the players say the interchange was stuffed up….

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

ths thread reminds me of the galea and payne days. I'm over it.

 

[Balmain_Bug]

With a coach who has an extremely poor winning percentage, we were silly to expect anything else !!

 

[bigdamo]

true bug fonz is as stale as an old bucket of kfc should have gone

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

our administration thinks that sheens is our saviour. make of that what you will. we are just the feeble fans. we have no say. if this is democracy then it stinks.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Gentle runs the interchange…

 

[Vicious]

Expect more of it. We already have a pretty decent back row in Heighington, Ellis and Dwyer, we have a more than usefull player in Fulton to come off the bench and a very good up and coming impact back rower in Murdoch-Masila, so what do we do go and and spend all our money on another back rower?
I don`t know whatever happened to recruiting players in positions that are needed, but it obviously doesn`t apply to the Wests Tigers `2012 and beyond!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

thank tiger watto for your input. but whats your point. what does it have to do with slater and company?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

don't blame Sheens,blame the board.They are the clowns who sit by yr in yr out allowing this old fool to make boneheaded decisions.Its beyond comprehension that he has the amount of leverage that he does.How does a coach who has made two finals appearences in almost 10 yrs have free reign over his job,and how can he continue to have ppl defending him.Obviously those ppl are happy to dwell in mediocrity

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

good post gnr - but i blame the board - they do the hiring and firing. but when it comes to semi final football i have faith in sheens. we win the comp last year if the ref didnt get in our way.

 

[bigdamo]

hey x love the avatar makes me want to bash a locker great memories of bruce gibbs and dallas

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

im sure bigdamo you will leave many memories for your family. love your input on the forum - i love your passion - just sometimes you dont look at the big picture - thats all - its the journey that counts - cant win every game. who heard of that? and dont say wayne bennett and craig bellamy.

obi wan kenobi to luke sywalker i think while he was holdinghis light saber

for how horrible we are we came 3rd last yr and missed the grandfinal by about 20 seconds and this year we are 6th despite a heap of injuries and a history of playing better in the 2nd half of the season
