I've seen little to give me confidence in Rankin in any position. Move him to 7 and his shaky defence becomes a liability. I haven't been impressed with his ball skills either. Bringing up in-form Josh Drinkwater from reserves to replace Brooks would be better. He can kick goals, allowing the underperforming Rankin to be dropped for Addo-Carr.

It will be a long season regardless. A simple change of coach isn't going to change anything in the short term.

Which there is no excuse for. Even if JT deserves to be sacked.

That is a dumb decision. Gives a new coach 2 days to get them ready for Souths game, after which there is a 2 week break

The future of Wests Tigers coach Jason Taylor and a number of the club's players may be decided during the break for the NRL's representative round if the team's performance does not improve against South Sydney on Thursday night.
Despite five consecutive losses before Saturday's 60-6 capitulation in Canberra, Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe said the club had been pleased with the effort and commitment of the team but the effort against the Raiders was "unacceptable" and couldn't be repeated."The standards that we hold ourselves to were not met and the whole coaching staff and playing staff now have four or five days to turn that around and prove to our fans that it really did hurt last night – as it should," Pascoe said. "We are expecting a huge improvement.
"Of our five prior losses, I believe that realistically we could have and should have won four of those games so, in terms of the overall season, while the win-loss ratio is not in our favour, the intent and effort and commitment through those first seven rounds has been at a standard we will continue to work with, but last night wasn't at that standard."[The players] are hurting and should be embarrassed about it. That level of performance, regardless of whether you get a win or loss, is unacceptable."
After starting the season with wins over the Warriors and Manly, the Tigers have lost to Gold Coast, Parramatta, Cronulla, Newcastle, Melbourne and Canberra but, before Saturday night, their biggest losing margin had been 12 points when beaten 30-18 by the Titans and last weekend they were defeated in extra time by the Storm.Pascoe said there had been no indication such a heavy defeat was coming and Taylor and his players would be doing some soul searching to determine what had gone wrong.
From the opening try by Canberra back-rower Elliott Whitehead in the third minute, the Tigers were never in the game and the statistics from the match told the story as six Raiders forwards ran more than 100 metres with the ball, whereas prop Ava Seumanufagai was the only member of the Tigers pack to do so.
Clearly they are missing injured captain Aaron Woods up front but NSW hooker Robbie Farah is yet to experience a win in six matches with the Tigers this season and rookie halves Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks were ineffective behind a beaten forward pack.
"We are not looking for excuses," Pascoe said. "They are doing some internal analysis and will continue to do so during the week but we were pretty confident going into the game that everyone's head was switched on and, if you have 100 per cent effort and commitment, you are not going to complain.
"We're really proud of what we have been able to achieve on and off the field over the past six months and how we have been able to establish and buy into all these standards, so to then go out last night and not achieve any of those standards was nothing other than disappointing and unacceptable."
While most of the blame for the performance has been directed at the players, Taylor is the man in the hot seat and another heavy defeat against Souths on Thursday night will see pressure on his job sky rocket.

I would have thought that there was already pressure on Taylor and that this had skyrocketed as a a result of the Raiders loss. Surely many things should be questioned, not just the teams lack of effort against Canberra. We can all cite his appalling team selections as just one other area where he falls down.
Same old same old,Taylors in the hot seat….he has been since he started.....so should the overhyped,overrated wannabe NRL player's....that seem to get chance,after chance,after chance...its about time Pascoe was in the hot seat with O'Neil,they should all be on notice ........but thats just me....I could be wrong........

Of course there should be and must be changes. This SHOULD include Littlejohn for Brooks, Ado-Carr for Rankin, Fine for Sironen, Chee Kam for Halatau and Edwards for Lovett. But, we know that it's important to keep the mates together…....
