The media obviously dont watch us closely enough people like gould keep saying what a wonderful attacking team we are
Can we put the myth that sides hate playing because we have tries in us. I don't know where we stand in regards for tries, line breaks etc but IMO we just can't score. Our backs are getting slower and lazier.
Our only attacking players ATM are Robbie and beau.
It's simple let's learn how to tackle on Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and try some ball work on friday

Very well said ball main. There all this hype about our attack which has been missing for the majority of the season.

The Tigers are a mere shadow of them selves from years past, Last nights first half should have seen us score a few times.
 
The Tigers attack has unfortunately, been off all year in comparison to recent seasons. There are a couple of obvious reasons. The first being we lack genuine pace out wide, and Rowdy's speed is down due to persistent niggling injuries he has had all season. And arguably the best running 5/8 in the game in Benji, has forgotten how to take the line on since wearing the 7 jersey. It's quite remarkable he has set up more tries from kicks this season than he has with his passing game. If he could combine the two, and remember how to run again, the Tigers backline would be doing a hell of a lot better than what it is IMO.
 
As the title of this thread says and it is indeed true = Why we will likely soon be out of the Top 8 and most definetly be facing an uphill battle to make the Top 8 by the end of the regular season.

Make NO mistake, Top 4 is gone for us now and at this stage of the season we face a massive job just to try and make the Top 8\. We are really up against it now.

A huge test of character for the boys now..

Can and will they step up ? C'mon Tigers!!
 
Move farah to half back now. I didn't think that we would miss Lui as much as we have. Let's bring him back

What the hell has happened to our outside backs?
The last few years we had a free running attack and this year …. nothing.
Marshall has not been running the ball as much which contributes to this but ,to be honest ,Lawrence , Ayshford and Tuquiri have been very poor all year.
With the amount of ball we had in the first half against the Bulldogs we would have scored at least 4 tries in the past two years.
Missing Ellis has hurt our defence but he's not going to be here next year either - there needs to be some soul searching amongst the team.
