I know, why don't we abduct them, take them out onto the field and publicly behead them!
Geez people, they are only football players who will be replaced by other football players. Let's all calm down a bit. I haven't been to a game this year due to a knee replacement but I'm going on Sunday, not to boo anyone but to show solidarity with the club. I think these two players will give their all for the rest of the year but if they don't, reserve grade beckons - Ivan will do whatever is necessary and I'm happy to support the team he puts on the paddock.
All this talk of booing reminds of Gough Whitlam when was at his lowest in the polls. At a Test cricket match, he walked onto the field with the chairman of the SCG Trust and the booing started. He looked at the chairman and said, "Gee, I didn't know you were so unpopular!"

If they struggled with recruitment as we do then maybe they would be spiteful… But they know they'll get someone better, so it's win win for them

dont think i'd ever boo anyone wearing a tigers jersey. i want them to win and idk how someone can win if their own fans boo them.
@ said:
Yep, too true. At first I wanted to boo him, but he won't give a rats
However, if he looks as disinterested as he has been for the last couple of weeks, who knows.
Can't stand to look at him, let alone listen to the dribble that comes out of his mouth lately.
Hope he steps up big time now we all know he he truth….somehow I doubt it, dogs will run all over him unfortunately

Exactly this
Guys like Richards also didnt drag the club through the dirt. He was upfront with the club and told them he was accepting a lucrative offer from wigan. The difference between cases like richards and these 3 are vast.
Another major difference is , even though he departed he was one of those players in that team that believed we could win, and win we did.

Interesting idea.
Moses tweet,shows he's a twit - He could be taken seriously if he ever did anything good for Wests Tigers.Never won them a game,never got them to the semi's,a non-tackler,non-passer,and terrible kicker in general play.The club being a sinking ship,he contributed to it,if that's true.
Also,funny that those leaving want to go to a winning team,when they have been given plenty of opportunity to help Wests Tigers be a winning team,but have failed.

This is exactly it,they were labelled the "future" of the club,the start of a new era at the WTs,they were given everything they wanted…...unfortunately the potential and talent never reached the hype it was perceived to be....
Teddy maybe the one who does reach his goal at being the best,Moses is a show pony who pats himself on the back,Woods " could be great" if he changes his playing style and Brooks has given himself the chance to gain rep honours under the guidance of Ivan the great,and has stayed loyal to his club that has developed him....he should now be applauded for his mature decision..

@ said:
Lol i have the same dilema. Ive been a tiger supporter for 30 years and 2005 premiership is enough for me. But i have 3 kids who keep asking me why do we go for the tigers dad lol. Im starting to think to save them all this suffering to tell them to choose their own team lol and save them years of misery.

The advantage of a few hundred people booing is that it will show the media and NRL community that at least a big chunk of us back the club over the players. You would never guess if you opened the rag.

Wins are sweeter when there's been a lot of pain.
We lived in Maroubra when my son started school… His schools colours were red n green, he played for Maroubra Lions who wear the Souths strip. He got caught up in the fuss of their re admission in 02.
He used to sit in front of me on the floor watching them on tv when they were crap, he thought I couldn't see his tears.
We went to the GFs in '05 and '14....never thought those two nights would happen
My old man said to me during a bad period in my life "anything worthwhile is never easy"
Teach your kids to be staunch, teach them that even if clubs and players don't show loyalty, fans and supporters can.
The good times may be few but they stand out more when it's usually not so smooth sailing.

I cried so much in 1989 i was a little kid but so devastated. But 2005 just made it all worthwhile. Fortunately my kids have got the tigers blood in them already. My sons favourite player was Simona. He then moved to Tedesco. Now he tells me dad i want to be just like Nofa. Just shows no player is bigger than our club and whenever you hit rock bottom there is only way to go and that is up. Go the mighty tigers 4 life.

The only one who is a great player is Tedesco. Moses may get to a high level as well. Woods is basically past his peak. He doesn't have the athleticism to be a great player. Brooks may turn into a quality player as well.

I agree. I remember after 05 it felt weird to me. I also think what we are going through now will pass and the club can improve from here on in.

Would not describe him as great. He is good, but is no Thurston, Johns etc who have proved their ability to carry a side over many years.
He is also a knee injury or two from joining the where are they now files.

My little fella is too young to understand what it's all about. He'll look at the telly and say go or Tigers but if we want to keep these young fans we need to win a few games in the next few years.
As for the booing I anticipate it will happen but it's not for me. Hoping they put up a good show and get the win. Will have the 4 year old nephew with me who's keen on the Tigers but his mum wants him to jump to the bunnies
