Just not a first grade squad

Of course not. I live in Brisbane. That being said I can see they're getting trashed and certainly am not considering any of the spine players. But young forwards from that side with talent getting a crack on the top grade bench isn't that silly.

SIXTY REASONS TAYLOR HAS TO GO

THE Wests Tigers have now lost six straight games. Up until Saturday night in Canberra, they were at least respectable losses. The performance against the Raiders was unacceptable and embarrassing.

Which brings us straight to under-siege coach Jason Taylor.

It is so obvious this team is going backwards under Taylor’s coaching that even chairperson Marina Go would understand he has to go.

It’s not like they were up against the Broncos or Cowboys in the 60-6 shellacking. It was the Canberra Raiders.

The halves Luke Brooks and Mitchell Moses are either overrated or suffering from poor coaching.

Not that you can blame them for the fact the forwards are getting belted. Taylor has to go. This team needs new leadership and new direction.

One of the game’s best coaches Ivan Cleary is currently unemployed. He would be a fantastic signing. Highly regarded Todd Payten at the Cowboys is desperate for an opportunity at his old club.

Long-suffering fans have had enough.

Could they go worse than the NRL side… doubt it
 
It's our spoon season we needed to have. Let's just embrace it and know it will create some drastic change.
No renewel of coach, no renewal for halves, Lawrence can retire.
Woods needs to have a shave and wake up.
Tedesco is the only glimmer of hope for the future.
Wasted money and time on these young halves and it's been a major failure.
We let Austin go for Brooks. We are dumb.

No I've seen the scorelines and I don't necessarily expect any better out of these guys, but I do think they'd have a better attitude than some of the players we're trotting out in first grade. They might actually regard it as a privilege to play first grade and not an entitlement like some seem to. I want us to find the players in our extended squad who actually try to stand up when things are going against them, not just capitulate and expect someone else to do it all for them.
 
geez Buzz has been banging on about Todd Payten for years …

Which recently retired Wests Tigers player continues a behind-the-scenes push for Jason Taylor’s coaching job.

I appreciate that beetroot face thinks he's is on my side but I can't stand this guy.

I have no idea why anyone pays him for his opinions. He is as dumb as a bag of hammers. I listened to him talking to Paul Kent and Ben Ikin and it was like a couple of sons talking to their dad in a freakin' old folks home.

And what is with that condescending remark towards Marina Go? Is that sexism I am reading? The Canberra Raiders that finished ahead of both the Broncos and Cowboys last year, beat us by a million last year while we beat both the Broncos and Cowboys.

Tell your story walking Rothdork.
 
well Buzz does have form with deathriding JT & Go …

GO, GO-ING, GO-NE

Jason Taylor and his one supporter at Wests Tigers, Marina Go, to be shown the door when changes are made to the board in late March. Balmain will get their two votes back if they find the $2 million to retain their share of the joint venture. If not, Wests will buy their shares and take complete control of the club. Let’s hope we’ve heard the last of Go’s bragging about “locked out” fans.

yeah that was March 2016 that Buzz predicted their demise , lol .

I know this was last year but I think it isn't far off the bulls eye this year.
 
Our squad just isn't first grade and really too many chumps need a wake up call by being dropped or benched. Including Naiqama, Lovett, Sue, Lawrence, Littlejohn, Edwards. The halves too to an extent but we can't really afford to drop them, they're still better than our other options, even at half pace.

I'd like to see Felise given a shot at lock, ET to second row to tighten our defence out wide, though the two could alternate a bit. I really don't think he's a centre but still give Marsters a shot. I'd also chuck Siro in the back row too to replace Lawrence. Lawrence doesn't have the skills really to be a back rower, his hands are atrocious and his defence and attack so so. His attitude is good so he'd keep a bench spot.

Problem is we have a million props and no back rowers. We would be giving a lot of unproven kids a shot but they can't do worse than their more experienced counter-parts. The experienced players are highly inconsistent. The occasional very god performance isn't good enough to keep a first grade spot and the club can't accept such complacency.

Too many reserve graders are making up the numbers …if the story is correct about peyton ,then JT is on his last legs .but if we sign the big 4 we need others to make them a decent side .lovett got knocked backed every time he hit the defence ..Edwards ? .our centres ....

Lovett looked like a feather running into a steel wall. He has no power in his runs at all. Another example of Taylor's bench selections. Surely we have at least one forward in the reserves that can at least runwith some power and determination.
Lovett as a forward is a park footballer at best.and yet Taylor gives him a jumper.

Maybe these guys feel like they have absolutely no chance of playing first grade with any club next club and are going through the motions while they look for another job post September 2017\. With ISP performing worse than first grade there is absolutely no pressure on these chumps to perform.

Speaking of Go.
She's been very quite lately , just what does in the club these days except being head of the JT fan club
As a board member with lots of connections, she should be out there getting our club in the public eye( not for our thrashings)and encouraging the well heeled connections to pour some money into the club.
With any luck she may get her photo in the papers again.
What exactly does she do around here besides using her well known Rugby League knowledge
To appoint rubbish Coaches.
