LIVE GAME Live Game Discussion, vs Newcastle - Rd 2 *Spoilers*

[Sco77y]

It’s the catching we can’t do not the passing

Sheens: Ah shoot, I knew we should’ve done 200 catches instead of the passes

 

[The Fresh Oil]

I don’t even know what needs to happen in the next half to feel good about this game. Even if some miracle happens and wests put on 24 unanswered points it’s still a loss imo.

 

[aturkey]

Also the way we are playing is showing Sheens wasn't the answer.

The coach is never the answer. The coach doesn't play.

 

[bigsiro]

Just imagine if wests were a half decent team, it’d be 30-0. Knights are gifting them a win and they still can’t get it done.

Imagine the knights were half decent. Would be 60-0

 

[Speed2burn]

So we are up against a team with 2 players gone and 1 in SB and still down. Dead set this ball handling is disgraceful.
This is where I would expect Api and Klem to help settle the team and just focus on running hard first before passing

Crossland looked done aswell. So that’ll be 3 players gone

 

[hsvjones]

Wakeham is the answer

Some think that's funny but I am starting to agree with you.. Give him a shot as Brooks is NOT standing up as a leader we need from the 7..

The fact that we're competing means it's a win to me. If we compete every game, every game is a win.

Our halves have little or no footy IQ, why are we still dropping so much ball, this side looks like a pub side. Not only has Sheens screwed the attack, he hasn’t fixed the defence either. If we don’t win this game there needs to be some serious repercussions on Sheens Benji and the coaching staff

I am a Brooks fan but I am done with the bloke.

He has shown zero understanding of the context of this game. No plan for 5th tackle when he has gotten it. Multiple runs on the 4th so he does not have to be involved in the 5th. At this very late stage of his career he just does not have it.

At every stage of his career, he has not had it.

Must admit I am getting there too. He is showing nothing. I think ESL might be his calling. Need a change I think.

 

[Newtown]

Api is being caught out after making space and realizing there is not one player backing up. This isn’t the panthers buddy.

Whose job is it to fix that up? Probably better to replace these bludgers with keener players. We have a few who would play out of their skins giving the chance.

What big repercussions? The naughty corner? Fine them? It's round 2 lol

 

[Kaito]

Not sure why but when Brooks runs down the short side his outside are on the line or nearly in front of him. They need to get deeper.

Thats because he doesn't know how to
straighten up the attack, he always
runs diagonal towards the side line smh

 

[Blaze]

We got this…. Im in a good mood… I have faith. It might be ugly but positive thoughts

 

[Tim Sheens]

I'm really struggling with this performance, honestly don't know which players to blame - the bigger issue is they are playing like strangers.

5 years of this coaching regime and we won't have a club unless we turn it around quickly.

Staines and Doueihi defensively for the tries, but not that unhappy with the attack, as it is very close to gelling for mine.

 

[Eca]

At least Timmy won, something to give us a bit of smile after this 1st half of crap

 

[Spacecub]

This team will be spooners again, have no doubt, time to blood a few NSW cup backs

Undoubtedly true but what is worse is he has a far better team than what we had all last year but they are playing even more poorly

 

[stevied]

Sorry but after all the talk about the forwards laying a platform, they really look so slow and cumbersome. No line bending, off loads or damage being done whatsoever. Klem been the best but, overall ineffective. I get so sick of seeing Offa, Twal and co burn tackles in the opposition quarter for no gain. Then there's the halves. Quite simply no idea. Brooks scurrying around and Douehi overplaying his hand. Tigers are so lucky to be within 4. AJ the Tigers' best by a mile.
There are two positives;
1. Only 4 behind.
2. They couldn't play worse.
