I’m done

[kimdel]

Ok.. I officially surrender
Having been a Tigers fan since the early 80’s I’ve been patient, I have waiting through many “ building” periods and celebrated our one GF victory ( in admittedlyone of the weakest years to date) only to watch this team drop from a strong and vibrant club to a sad shadow of its former self. It’s become like the Balmain tigers leagues club, an empty shell, a white elephant and a source of much derision.
I am hanging up my stripes until we get a strong leader, some guts and a spine both figuratively and on the field with a good halves/fullback combination.
How can we expect To be competitive without these things?

This isn't a airport bro. No need for departure announcements.

Beautiful words Demps.

 

[tig_prmz]

Yeh, don't blame ya.

 

[Speed2burn]

We will miss you smoking gun

 

[Telltails]

You'll be back.

 

[Swordy]

Of course he will be back. Maybe do it like me, a hiatus f sorts until I see effort and commitment to the jersey.

For me, the recent FLOGGINGS at both of Tommy's tribute games at Leichhardt and Campbelltown has left a sour taste in my mouth that will take a long time to remove. i wasn't a Wests supporter, but I have grown to love that half of our history and Tommy Raudonikis was deserved of a far greater effort than these pi$$ants provided. Look at the recent Manly game after Bob Fulton died. THATS EFFORT!

I've said before, winning is good but I'd much prefer to go down fighting HARD and giving it everything I have. the efforts shown by some players this season is pathetic, and some of these players are the ones that some on this forum go on about being potential future captains etc.

Only when I see effort where they cannot physically get off the ground at the end of the game will I respect those playing in our jersey at the moment.

And yes, I am a paid member, so for that membership I have the right to say what I think to and about the club. I don't think the coach is the issue. If the players gave what he gave each week, we would be leading the comp!

 

[Tcat]

You'll be back.

Haha, I've said I'm done with this 💩 so many times and yet I keep coming back for more. Some how im a pessimistic optimist when it comes to footy, if there is such a thing.

[jirskyr]

That's it I'm done... with these types of threads.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Another soft fair weather supporter, no loss go and follow the Panthers (while they are winning).

 

[The-moP]

Dont let the door hit ya on the way out champ .. *hasta la vista* :-1:

 

[upthetigers]

I could never support another team so I have no choice but to be a sucker for punishment because I still love watching league.

 

[Guest]

I'm done every week, yet there I am at 4pm every Tuesday waiting for the team to drop.

 

[Spartan117]

I'm sticking solid!

 

[Demps]

I'm sticking solid!

Always ⚘👑

Don’t blame you mate. Personally I think west ashfield cannot take the burden of majority owner and don’t have what it takes to be a successful nrl club
