One that we (almost) got...

[Tiger_heart]

Given the conditions, and who we were playing, a slight improvement from the last few games (you can only play what is in front of you). JB looks the good and should have the full back positon locked up for years! Had the bulk of possession but couldn't do anything with it.
On the most disappointing aspect - as Gus said, Luke Brooks gets paid the big bucks to make the big plays. Yet again, tonight, 2 HUGE errors that could have lead to a different result. If he is there again next week, I am at a total loss as to why. Hoevever, both 6 and 7, as they stand now, are not the answer. We lack any sort of direction when attacking.
If we continue along this path, we'll crack a win, but we have to keep the same mentality in the upcoming games. The players have to keep their chin up, as we do.

good analysis tiger heart, the boys had a great crack today, geez those halves of ours just cannot control a game, so sad!!! I see some green shoots coming through, i really like our back 3 with our 13, toa, and stef in the middle i see a bit of a furture for the tigers..

Literally offers nothing all game (like most)
and to repay the tigers after 10 years of misery he drops the most simple catch to win the game.

I mean at what stage do you concede your cursed and just retire.

Manly were off. We're [This word has been automatically removed]ed

 

[Yossarian]

I honestly believe if we had a decent halves combination we’d be at least 3-4

 

[TYGA]

The problem we have is halves are as rare as hens teeth. Hastings although a slow player that’s one dimensional could orchestrate the attack. I don’t know if we have any halves even close to ready in the lower grades.

I hear Jock Madden, Jackson Hastings and Jake Simpkin can play 7. If only we had them at the Tigers we might be 5-2 for the season.

They are but every team I’ve seen play this year has had better halves.

Maybe Hastings wins a game for us but they aren’t the answer we need better. Our squad is weak across the paddock apart from the forwards.

Really?
Far too early to tell for mine. A good start though.

Gotta throw the dog a bone, occasionally! ;-)

Jake Turbo had this to say after yesterday’s game:

“I’ve been going for them (the Tigers) for the last few weeks,” Trbojevic said. “In 2021 we started 0-4 and honestly I nearly thought about retiring.

"I hope they can get a win soon. I hope they get a win soon because after performances like today, they deserve it.

Classy 👍

Genuine good guy and fundamentally a rugby league fan.
It’s no longer funny to other fans that I have spoken with that we are winless.
The is a lot of compassion surrounding our squad as apart from the Broncs game, we have had a chance to win each of the others.

Lol one win. That's were we are at the moment. Sad if one win is what the layers are aiming for 😑

It’s not just Jake, many people around the world are preying for a WT win.
If this was boxing the ref would have given us the count.

They may be better (it is a low bar to compare with); however, even two marginally better halves would have seen us with several wins. The pigs are doing their job - not premiership-winning but enough to win more games than we have.

We need better than Hastings, but we all know Hastings is way better than Brooks and let him go instead. It still shows how out of touch Sheenile is.

 

[Speed2burn]

Did we ever offer our services to Reynolds? (Not the broken one), Adam

That’s not the reason Brooks is off contract they didn’t want Hastings long term. Benjis call. Short term it’s a bad call but it makes sense Benji doesn’t want either player

So why not keep Hastings until you found better?
He was cheaper and we saw more success last year with him.
