Course it's not his fault, "he has potential"." He's only young", "he's getting better". We need TWO HAlVES who can actually think, and we need them now!

I don't know about others , but if I see one more no look pass by a Tigers player I'll lose the plot
These blokes can't hit blokes five metres away when they are looking directly at the player , yet think it will all change if they don't look
If Brooks play 300 games as Watto suggests , I'll be watching the last 225 from Wolston Park (Callen Park for you Mexicans )

I remember a time where i copped it on this forum for suggesting Benji was hopeless then the tide turned. I remember a time where i copped it on this forum for saying Brooks is hopeless, i sense the tide is starting to turn.
If the head honchos in charge of retention in this club can't see that Brooks is ordinary then they need to get the arse too.
Brooks will lead this club into deeper depths than its already in if he stays, mark my words.
Please don't get me wrong, im not blaming all our loses or problems on him, it's way bigger than him, but he's just not the one for us.

Some opinions from today.
Milone, Halatau, Sue, the young bloke from Parramatta, Farah, Brooks, Sironen, straight to reserve grade.
Rankin is not a winger, but maybe he or Littlejohn to 5/8 and Moses to half.
Teddy played injured today.
Not much use buying players like JAC, the Manly boy and a few others, unless you give them a go to prove themselves. They could not be any worse than the above mentioned.
Cherrington and Liddle should get a go as well.
Some people on this forum have given the bird to our front row. Grant got belted from pillar to post, but kept going all day. As far as I could tell he did not have an error in him, unlike some others.
I am sure that most of us would like changes to be made. However, there maybe salary cap problems involved in the selections. If so, then we are in for a very long year. If not, then, I hate to say it, but Taylor may have to go.

Welcome aboard Col, we have been waiting a while for you to come around, you are spot on with your summation, especially Grant, he was epic again.
Taylor has surely run out of excuses, he picks the team, he needs to wear this mess.

Hats off to Tim Grant who had a real crack the entire time he was out there
Can't say much for the rest

Milone should never have been selected
Halatau is bench at best when you have no other options
Sue was concussed, but is still one of our few forwards who I would keep
Aloiai needs more time to develop but has showed some promise but also inconsistency
Siro to me is always disappointing
Farah maybe he will leave at the end of the year?
Brooks continues to be too large a defensive liability to carry unless he was scoring tries and setting them up regularly which he is not.
JAC should get a run as should Chee-cam
Grant is playing great for us.
Taylor I thought was safe until years end as part of the Robbie reunion but things are getting ugly.

There have been quite a few reports from different media about Brooks and the Dogs, and the players hating the coach has been around a long time, too many stories to be all wrong.
Can't blame a lot of players for hating Taylor, I mean besides Buchanan, Lovett, Rankin and Milone he probably has little support.

I was going to do some fitness work tonight anyway, but after that game I needed to do hill sprints til I didn't feel angry anymore. Now I'm watching David Attenborough's Barrier Reef docco with very sore hammies and images of tropical fish soothing me. I also flew into Launceston this morning, and I'm in Deloraine for a few days. In this eccentric little Tasmanian town,no one cares about Rugby League.
Which is good because this is probably the hardest loss I've dealt with psychologically for a while. I was honestly blindsided by that one. No one's been beaten by Newcastle all year, and the Knights didn't play nearly well enough to win at NRL level, but we managed to let them win anyway. The Knights had tackle after tackle where there were no Tigers at marker, and we just gifted them the roll on, and then when Newcastle coughed up the ball, we found some way to gift them some more metres next time they got it. With that many gimme shots even Newcastle were bound to slip over and find themselves in the in goal eventually.

Just conjecture as usual as spin to fit your agenda.
JT was dropping the ball, missing tackles, giving away penalties or kicking on the fourth tackles.
Can't blame players for hating Taylor ( so says you), I can blame the players for all the above errors though (so says me).

No JT is not dropping the ball and missing tackles, but he is not fixing the problem, and not dropping the players that are making the errors, ergo his fault.

I wonder about the terms on MCK and Addo Carr's contracts should they be selected. Are they entitled to additional match payments that would put us over the cap? Could be that Milone, who is basically playing for an extension, turns out to be the hero this club can afford?
Could the Tigers mismanage a salary cap to the point we're paying blokes to not play first grade even though we probably need them? It wouldn't be the first time, just ask Tom Humble.
