**live game feed** vs the Cowboys

[TigerSJ]

What do you say about that? It absolutely bewilders me how as a team and a club we can never seem to rise to an occasion when we have everything to play for and the stage is overwhelmingly set in our favour. The cows had no right to win that game yet we played like we didn’t have to do anything. Seriously poor attitude and lack of desire and effort. The question I just cant fathom is WHY? What is wrong with this club that we cant show any desire on the field?
Is it that the squad just simply does not have enough “winners”, guys who compete for every second and evry play? The Harry Grant or Brandon Smith types.
We are so soft in D the Cows were rolling through us. Our guys just stand and hold on, there was no sting in any of our D and no line speed or pressure on the kicker (especially in first half)
Our A is flat and no bodies in motion pushing up on the ball just guys watching the ball carrier.

Our roster mainly consists of players who can’t or wouldn’t get a run at any other team ...
With a few exceptions ...

... This is the reality unfortunately. Can't even sign guys like Latrell or the Fox. Need some real spark we are not shining anywhere on the field atm.

I think the disappointing thing is we know how much potential our team has if they aim up.

They really need a psychologist in there.

When we’re on, we’re on. Why they can’t aim up for 80 minutes is beyond me.

We have a group of mercenaries motivated by financial gain because they are either rejects from other clubs or at the end of their career and looking to top up their super. We have a bunch of players (not a team) who have no pride in the club colours ... they are a disgrace.

- No line speed in defence
- No shoulders in contact
- No depth in attack

Nothing to do with coaching or ability. Everything to do with attitude.

Yep, attitude is crap.
Too many players switch off and budge when the ball goes past them or on opposite side of the field. We just stop.

There was a try in the first half where their front rower popped a late offload 10m out from our line. The 3 in the tackle were just hugging him and our other defenders just turned their back to jog onside. Try resulted

Where is the attitude to dominate your opponent? To hurt them in a tackle? To force a mistake or rushed pass? We are never first to the ball, opposition simply want it more.

There is something very wrong with the club. Mbye saw a winger get dropped last week for tackling an opponent before he received the ball so he thought he’d try it. This club is a dead loss.

It’s refreshing to see few people blame the refs this year. Sure, we’ve gotten some bad calls, the same as every side does. But bottom line, we’re just not that good.

I remember that well. One was Joffa, very disappointed he turned his back on the play. He eventually attempts the tackle but the extra second turning could have been the difference between making the tackle and them scoring.

Chechin is easily the best ref and had a good game. The bunker decision, whilst probably correct to the letter of the law, shows no understanding of the play and essentially ignores the involvement of the players 'impeded'.

Typical of this club. Everything to play for and totally bottled it.

They should all be made to tackle concrete bollards in the parking lot this week.

We need a feng shui consultant to come and clean out the bad spirits. That’ll sort us out. I’m sure Tommy Radonoukis would love that.

Way too many predictable attacking plays in the first half. Opposition defenders don't have to work too hard because they know we are so predictable. We looked our best in attack in the second half because players were trying different things like offloads and supporting each other and guess what - playing what's in front of you!!! If nothing else next week, I just want to see the team play like this with the ball. They can't win the game, but at least I won't fall asleep watching their boring, predictable first half attacking efforts(or lack of)

Payten’s game plan built on inside knowledge

Well he is the "WHITEANTER"

No one ever said we were good ..
It’s the basic errors and the lack of effort that’s the killer

Would it be asking too much to completely belt the Cowboys? is 60-0 out of the question???

I think so Dave ??

Did you watch the low lights ?

 

[TYGA]

Very simple no for Tigers. We suck, no chance of making finals get game prep for Simpkin, Simpkins, Tuilagi, Madden as soon as possible.

That is all. Carry on.

I'm guessing once I watch the game and comment on the result I might get @willow attention

Gee what a way to show our passion for one of our club's greatest ever players
