Croc tears from a trash player

They were certainly not croc tears. He didn’t have a good game but he wasn’t the Lone Ranger in that department. Whether the tears were about his game or the Lebanon situation, it was real emotion, no need to be a jerk about it.

Croc tears from a trash player

You’re a wanker

He is a trash player but I can understand what he’s going through if he has affected family in Lebanon..
But why not wait until he’s off the field ?

Don’t know if you’ve ever been upset but it can be pretty hard to control sometimes

Of course I’ve been upset ..
But if he’s been a wreck why play him ?
Everyone would understand if he didn’t play .

Are you kidding? I don't think you get to choose when to breakdown.

These players go through so much in a week, and the Lebanon tragedy I could only imagine how that could be affecting many of their people.

I don't care how he plays and how crap we are, this is more than a game.

I'm more pissed than anyone at that result, but what cheap comments these are.

When push comes to shove, we can never pull off the wins we need. Say goodbye to 2020.

We can bring up all the excuses in the world, but it was a 40 point thrashing - not even close.

Lol about everyone complaining about Madge signings kids. Same people who complained the last 3 years about us being a retirement home. It’s one or the other fellas ? I know which one I’m picking

I'd much prefer us to lose now knowing we are improving our squad with good young players. Short term pain.

Completely agree. At least there’s a plan in place better than a squad of 33 year olds about to retire

Lol mate seriously. We’re going backwards. He’s a good coach but this is not the club for him.

No option but to go backwards to undo papa chin's handywork. All our dead cap is in the spine unfortunately

Madge has signed or re-signed most of the guys on the field, including 3 of the 4 spine players

Only spine player he signed was the doobster. Rest were already here and had to be re-signed because there was nobody else on offer.

I like a lot of his signings, but unfortunately with youth there comes a lot of inconsistency. As the past fortnight has shown us

Thanks boys for the privilege of watch a team of talentless buffoons for 80 minutes. There is something wrong with this club and they better investigate, fix it up or I and most other tiger supporters will leave your team.

I don't know what the answer is, but from this team we need to get rid of the lot other than BJ,Noffa, Alio,Talau, Lucy,Packer,

 

[cochise]

Fair enough. I posted before I made the Lebanon link. Still total shit

He appears to have more class about him than you do.

I’m not fussed about the result ..

I’ll stand by my comment he’s a crap player and if he’s not mentally up to it
( which is understandable) don’t play him

 

[mike]

Really nothing I could take out of that game only to say it was one of our worst. We are down and out. Is there only one way to go from here?

A few in the team need to have a good hard look at themselves, some are just not putting in and stealing their pay cheque.

Time for Benji to call it quits, I think that will be his last game. Not the best way to end a career.

Mybe should never play again for Wests Tigers either, stand down and concentrate on the new Brisbane franchise. At least then he’ll be doing something positive for the club.

Brooks? Just do something please. Talk about unfulfilled potential. How many years has it been? Just a below average player now.

Oh well, no doubt I’ll be cheering for Wests Tigers again next week.

 

[Goanna57]

We can be as critical of players as much as we like but the question has to be asked,why have we gone backwards so fast.Maguire is putting a side on the field not a team ,we are going to finish the lowest on the ladder for a few years .I think The players have lost faith in Maguire’s coaching methods he has to own that like some of the players he is past he’s use by date

Such a disrespectful statement over a football game, to what maybe about serious tragedy. Your wake might have a few.

 

[cochise]

God drama queens as fans! ... no wonder we get flogged! Donkeys cried croc tears a few weeks ago when our crap team hammered them. If AD has a legit reason to cry other than a shit performance then that is fine. We are pretending like it was a an attack on his family 😪

Mate just stop, you are making yourself look like a goose.

 

[voice_of_reason]

They were certainly not croc tears. He didn’t have a good game but he wasn’t the Lone Ranger in that department. Whether the tears were about his game or the Lebanon situation, it was real emotion

I think it's fair to say there were several things behind the emotion at the end. Wouldn't be surprised if he has friends or relative in Beirut, he's a young bloke who's isolated from his family so doesn't have any emotional outlet, he's likely hurting from a niggly injury, he's just played a pretty average game, his team has been flogged and final 8 chances have vapourised.

I'd suggest it just got too much for him and it all came pouring out. Kudos for Packer for being there with him - he seemed to be the only one.

All those blaming Madge, give yourselves and uppercut! Seriously, we overachieved at the beginning of the season, and now our talent is showing... Sure we are struggling, but we don't have the roster to compete with other teams. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HAVE TO REBUILD A CLUB!!!

I'm not gonna sit here and blame Ivan's recruitment, Pascoe's indiscretions or any other thing, for our current form. Knew Harry was to be a big loss but these players are representing an NRL club and our season is dwindling with each game, so Madge owns some of that responsibility.
1. We still don't know our best team.
2. He's named a captain who is the least inspiring team member.
3. Is yet to install any game plans that correct any of our issues.
4. Has made poor team and interchange selections all year.
5. Doesn't hold all players accountable.

I know the players are failing to play their role/part but how long can he seriously continue with certain methods too? If something's not working, it's never gonna work.
The whole halves experiment has done nothing but unsettle the spine/team and I think these are very problematic issues.
I couldn't be more disappointed in the boys but to see them start so flat in many instances is surely due to the coach not having them up to task.
As long as any of us persists as fans, I think we're entitled to voice any/every concern.
So why shouldn't Madge receive any criticism whatsoever?

Brooks. The next Andrew Johns🙄

Plays like he's on something.

Yeah nice to see them all turn up and play strong for Benji’s & Rowdy’s 250th, what a bunch of losers.
