I agree to an extent. I'd be surprised if we pumped them by 20, but we have everything to play for and the players should be itching to get out there and make amends for the past few weeks. We certainly have the talent to win, it's staying switched on for 80 minutes which is the problem.
I agree with the original poster.
A bizzarre rant by Taylor. Whinging about the draw and which teams you play based on where they are on the ladder is something you expect from kids in primary school. The Dogs have got plenty injured so what is he whinging about?
Then complaining that they have already played Manly twice? Please, who could have predicted Manly would be last. Does he want the NRL to look into their crystal balls when they release the fixtures or change the draw half way through the year based on how teams are going?
" if we lose again on Friday" What sort of statement is that?
Seriously. Signs of his past immaturity there. It is a worry.

Round 7\. A coach killer thread was probably due.

I agree its not a good look….its like he's getting the excuses ready already.
But he does have a point, the draw is a shambles....and if no coaches make an issue with it, nothing will change. Timing is crucial....if you want to say something about it.....before the game doesnt look good, if he says this after the game and a possible loss....it looks even worse imo

The thing is,all teams are in the comp and they have to play against them during the season,in what order doesn't really matter,you still have to play them sometime,it's up to the team to be competitive and JT to put the gameplan in place for the particular opposition.
This is the NRL,not the under 8s having to play the under 10s because of lack of opposition…
The draw can be perceived as unfair,however it doesn't matter who you play and when,it is a new season and the draw is what it is....JT and the team must learn to cope with the schedule and therefore adapt to it...

Taylor shouldn't have had a whinge, simple as that. He should have criticised the draw when it was made months ago, not the a day before the game. That way it would have been legitimate and not come across as defeatist.

Im critical of Taylor for a few things but am i the only one who is seeing this differently.
I see him as a fan of the game and someone who likes to talk footy, whats best for the comp, whats best for the fans.
Its not all about the Wests Tigers and i dont see it as a black and white comment from a whinging coach.

He does look a little foolish complaining about a draw coming up against a side twice in the first eight rounds that has been decimated by injury and suspension.
Other teams won't get that luxury. It's actually worked out in our favour in this instance IMO.

The WTs need to get a lot of things right this week. They have put a lot of pressure on themselves.
I don't mind JTs tact here. He's deflecting the real issues. Gives the media and social media something to talk about. Gives our young squad time to reflect on their own game.
Same way Milky's "embarrassing moments" thread mid week gave us forumers a chance to stop hammering the players and refocus on tonight's game.

Love all the expert commentary here.
No one knows what going on inside the playing group, and no one knows the actual reasons Taylor has raised these issues with the media.
Most likely deflecting other matters and getting the media to talk about something inconsequential (The draw) rather than other issues that may place pressure on a young side coming off an embarrassing loss.
Taking an NRL coach's comments to the media at face value is akin to believing a politician when they make a speech. There is always an ulterior motive and always a game being played behind the scenes.
Judging though by the outcry on here as well as in the general media, JT has achieved his aim perfectly.
