One more perspective/vent

Okay

BROOKS - I'm willing to maybe give him 1 or 2 more games, but on the proviso that hE ACTUALLY CONTROLS THE TEAM. Let yourself be heard Luke, same goes for U Adam. A lot of chat About lack of support runners, which is def an effort thing but I also suspect NO ONE KNEW THE GAME PLAN on most of those plays

JOSEPH LEILUA - I hope for his sake he doesn't mind cold climates as HE WILL NEVER BE SIGNED TO ANOTHER NRL TEAM after these two years with the tigers (if he even sees another NRL game this year that is). My money's on Warrington or Hull FC to sign him next

MICHAEL MAGUIRE - Swap those edge runners back to where they came from. What genius seminar did Madge and Brad Arthur attend in the offseason that told them both to ignore the advice: 'if it ain't broke don't fix it'??? Madge for the love of God restore balance in the edges, drop mr J leilua, chuck moey in the centres and Simpkin on the bench. While you're at it upgrade Tualagi so we have a bit of backrow depth

JACOB LIDDLE - One of the few putting in an effort, still a few wild passes in his arsenal, but he's getting there...

MOSES MBYE - mate know your role, YOURE 14 FOR A REASON. Don't try and be a third half on the field, these guys are confusing the team enough as it is

MR DAINE LAURIE - PLEASE DONT GO

ASU - YOU CAN GO

I'm disappointed, we all are
Hopefully this is as low as we go, I'm not sure if I can handle much lower!

One more thing

Why, why, why, year on year does our team just fade out and quit with the effort when the going gets tough?

Doesn't seem to matter who is on the roster, the collapse is still the same

A lot of big chat about the boys looking out for each other during the pre-season but in the first two rounds we seem to have fast forwarded to the worst possible habits

What needs to be adjusted in the coaching methods to help with this? When will the players show pride for the jersey? Even the Bulldogs last year, as terrible as they were, were always described as gutsy and fought to the end. You don't hear many assessments of the tigers like that.

Sounds weird but I think they honestly need a bit of mental resilience training, as it seems that whenever things start to go a bit wrong, they just fall apart

For me its because the roster is just poor. It gets very hard keeping your chin up when you repeatedly fail and people around you cant make the tough plays.

It's no excuse

Titans had a rabble roster last year and Holbrook got them to perform much better than the tigers in his first year there
