Do they want to win?

Huh? Were good for 30 minutes of first half which is when this was posted. Pretty clear we're a relatively young team in the forwards lacking a game breaker in the backs and our halves are league average at this point. We knew this before the game and those deficiencies have been the difference so far.

I don't think you can question their desire but they seem to not be fit enough to sustain in the grind for more than 20 minutes.

Also thought Garner could have got a run at some point.

Garner was there and he was as good as any of our players. I don't believe it's desire at all.

You have it 100% correct but we also aren't playing to our ability.

Definitely not playing to their ability, that's for sure.

I’m at the game and you can just see a compete lack of urgency in defence Daine Laurie and jimmy the jet always put the effort on when dce scored nofo just jogged to try and get him if he actually ran he could have stopped him so annoying to watch

Jimmy the jet?? Effort?? I must be see another person if you think Roberts is putting in any effort.

He has been running all over the field to get involved.

Running all over the field?? Ha! Is there another Jimmy the jet that I'm seeing that differs from yours?? He ran sideways across the field with the ball. If that's what you're calling "all over the field", ok.

“This is not what Wests Tigers are about”. Is not going to cut it at today’s press conference. I’m interested to hear what Madge rolls out this time. 207 points conceded (so far) in 7 games. Pathetic.

Today it was 'this is where we're at', so at least he's acknowledging it now.

One of the Manly players after the match said that they were expecting us to come out of the blocks fast but then drop off in intensity. Sounds like other teams are being coached to wait for our collective doldrums to show up.

Not to pat myself on the back, but that’s why I refused to fawn all over their effort last week, cos this performance today was always on the cards.

Our recruitment is killing us. We have no outside backs and no back rowers and the 28th man we sign to the roster is another prop.

Seyfarth stood out when he came on because he actually made an effort. Nofa stood-out for his effort too but it was pre-game posing for selfies and generally being a show pony.
