Do the players read this forum?

Yeah to the Tigers themselves, we are probably the worst fans.

I am sure that some players have posted here, I am also sure that many read this forum with interest.

If I was a player (which I'm not) I would read this forum regularly. That's why this issue has always concerned me - I know that people are just expressing their opinions, but some of the bile directed at players on here sometimes can't be good for their heads.

Especially if you are a young guy eg Robert Lui trying to establish yourself in the team, or Tim Moltzen coming back from a long period out with injury, the last thing you need is to be told by a fan of the WT that you are useless, hopeless and gutless.

Yes, my thoughts exactly!

Are they men or mice?

I work as a designer / developer… I am constantly criticised for work I pour my heart and soul into... if you can't take criticism or negativity, it's time to man up in my mind. Moltzen is playing terribly atm...

I think the opposite really…they may come on out of curiosity, but if they have any brains if they want feedback on their games there are plenty of highly qualified people in easy reach to them each and every day
Why would you come on here knowing you would read the same garbage they hear coming from the stands when things arent going well for the team.
I look at players on the rare occasions I was at functions, and post match presso's, the pay the fans lip service, are polite but rarely take much notice of anything they say....how it should be too.

Our club needs to hard the sock up....becoming very precious imo

Well they must because last year there was a story about Fitzy that we all gave it to him on this forum
