Completely wrapped this year..

[GNR4LIFE]

they are the echos I was refering to…. :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:

Sorry to intrude on the love fest, but at the time , those comments from a lot here( me included ) were absolutely correct , and still may eventually go one way or another
The Games with one or the other halves missing , certainly show that when one is missing , the other has their best games . They haven't shown that they play well together.
As for the " coach", he deserves a share of the credit for getting them to this position,
But on the other hand, I hope those crowing loudly , are among those who would give him his share of the blame if they don't continue their form for the last four games,
His wonky team selections haven't rebounded on us as yet, but let's hope ( for the players sake ) that they don't.

I detect a lot of bitterness, which would explain why you've been relatively quiet since Sunday. The way you were crowing about us not having beaten any team with credibility i don't blame you.

It doesn't matter what happens from this point, that performance on Sunday shows what lay ahead in 2017.

No bitterness towards the team' in fact no bitterness at all. And it doesn't explain anything at all. I was working over the weekend, and in Rockhampton from Monday early Monday morning until lateTuesday afternoon , working . So didn't have much time to do anything else. It was a good win, . I said that he deserved credit for his part in that.
Not sure what more you want,
Sorry for not going overboard, but there's quite a bit of the season left, and I've lived through too much of the Wests/ Balmain/ WTs , up and down form to be ready to buy grand final tickets
I hope that they continue in the same way over the next few weeks,
And that they make the eight, but am not at all convinced that they will, if Taylor continues with his non hooker selections

The non hooker complaining is the last thing that posters like you and 851 can clutch onto, and i bet everything i own that if and when we lose we won't hear the end of it and that will be the cause. Even though in the last 3 weeks, service from dummy half has not been an issue in the slightest. We beat the premiers. Not saying we'll be premiers as a result, but what more does the 17 selected have to prove to some of you that they are capable of getting the job done.

I predicted 12 th at the start of the year …. Still a chance that could happen .... But even if it does, next year promises a much higher finish.

We won't finish any lower than 10th

15th - 2105
10th - 2016

Looks like progress to me.

Now you're contradicting yourself. You want results, yet are taking shots at the club for making hard decisions to ensure we get them. You can't have it both ways.

It wasn't an issue in the last games that Farah played either, it's an excuse , Simple

It's an excuse alright.

Lol
Sounds like you are a happy man ….. I'm pleased for you.
Only problem is three months good football doesn't get the team in the semi finals.

3 months was enough to win a Comp…

Did in 05

The point though, is we're a totally different team to the one we were at the start of the yr. We're building. There's a toughness, and a resolve in this team at the moment there hasn't been in yrs, maybe ever.

Good to see you agree GNR

I'm cool with this.

 

[Squaddy]

I felt there was toughness in our team in early - mid 2014\. We had that big pack and really utilised the bench.

The difference I feel this year is that we're grinding wins, which we haven't done since 2010\. Kicking for goal instead of having a shot at a try. Being happy with a repeat set instead of a risky kick for a miraculous try.

I just feel like the next piece of puzzle to get us from where we are to super dangerous is Brooks and Moses able to share the role of running the team and being roving halves. If that clicks when Brooks returns, we could find ourselves with momentum in mid September. Anything happens then,

People are entitled to their opinion.

You can bet everything you own they might have a whinge after a loss.

Well I have already bet everything i own that you have been nauseating in every single thread debating every single person that doesnt fall in line with your mantra.

Christ imagine we were actually in the Top 4 or Top 8 what your going to be like.

At the start of the year I predicted 11th spot for the Tigers and said I thought 10-11 wins was attainable.

Were on track to meet that and maybe surpass that. Which to mine is a pretty decent season where players and coaches desevve sime credit. but not this great, brilliant masterpiece you are making out where we stand and bow down to everyone.

When people crow arrogantly, talking down their own teams performance because it doesn't fall into line with their hatred for the coach, and continuously be a wet blanket telling everyone that's praising the efforts after the Dragons and Eels games that ''those wins meant nothing, just wait till we play a good team'', you're damn right i will remind them of it. One thing i've noticed lately is how quickly the moral high ground gets taken when people are reminded of their arrogance.

 

[Eddie]

You just seem to have an issue with people that have a different opinion to you.

You say people have a lot of bitterness, but I suggest you have a lot of bitterness the way you chase people in every thread with a different opinion to yours.\x

You talk rubbish like "it doesnt matter what happens for the rest of the year"

Your taking the high ground in nearly every thread but other people are not entitled to come at you if things turn?

Really?
