Our 1 to 5...

[Red88_Tiger]

Surprised we are even bothering in 2020...


We haven’t even played a trial game and the **players are being judged already**... lol so much negativity

Guess you missed 2019.

Its 95% the same team that failed beautifully last year. Unless they all got stuck into the peptides i doubt they've gotten stronger, faster more talented in 4 months.

More spectacular failures on the 2020 horizon. but yeah, need to be more positive, as i hold the pom poms, "Go Tigers, you can do it.......this year, or the next, or the next, yay Tigers" :face_with_rolling_eyes:

**How can you say they failed?** They were supposedly the wooden spooners but instead nearly snuck in the eight... I will remain positive so I guess to each their own... you get even more stressed if you remain or chose to be in that negative frame of mind.


**How can you say they failed?**

They didnt win the premiership let alone made the finals.

As usual the acceptance of mediocrity is strong among some.

I dont support a team being happy just to make up the numbers, each to their own.

? Jeez you must struggle year to year


Yeah it does suck being passionate about a team i support, you should try it some time.

**I don't know why some people on her bother supporting the Tigers**
Complaining year after year yet you are all still here
Put yourself out of your misery and take the leap to follow a team like the Roosters
Then you will have something to Crow about

I get that we are all becoming a little frustrated at our results over the years
But a new season is about to start and some of you have already raised the white flag
You give up to easily and conceed that we won't make the finals without a ball even being kicked off
I certainly hope our players don't have the same attitude

I won't say there is always next year until it is mathematically impossible to make the eight


Ever heard the storey about the "Hare and the Tortoise" or the saying "It ain't over till the fat lady sings"
Don't give up until we have 8 teams pass the finish line before us
Try and be proud of your Club
The results will come
Eventually

**I don't know why some people on her bother supporting the Tigers**

Im sorry i have no right after spending thousands of dollars on merch, travel, accommodation and tickets, thousands of hours traveling and attending games, events over the best part of 30 years to support the team and expect results. You are correct, i shouldnt care and be passionate about my team to want results. Im sure just having your head strong attitude of positivity will bring about success. I see the error of my ways. With the amazing talent we have on our books we will put in an 80 minute effort each week. Well done to the boys. Its all a fan could ever ask of their team.

I didnt however realise i wasnt allowed to support a team that i want to actually win the competition. My deepest apologies, to the arbiter of what i should think and thank you for putting me on the correct path to thinking the way i should. What was I thinking? daring to want the team ive loved for 30 years to be successful. How dare I. From now on while watching a game ill sing kumbaya and make daisy chains to hand out to orphaned children and whether i like it or not, in the era of professional sports i should be happy just to support a team, its not whether you win or loose its that you continue to loose and lump it year after year, just as long as i remain positive. Got it.

Wests tigers was established in 1999
that makes 20 years not 30

I played for Leichhardt juniors "tigers" from 79 to 82 before moving to Cairns and have followed Balmain and the Wests Tigers for over 45 years
I travel 3000k/m for a game and have done so with my wife who follows south's ?when they play against each other
It costs me on average $2000 to get to see one game a year
I have memorabilia "2005 licence to thrill" and a number of Jerseys and other items
Most of us on here have followed and supported the Wests Tigers since it was formed and Balmain and Western Suburbs beforehand
I guess some of us can handle loss better then others

We all want our **team** to win
Every single one of us on here
I felt Dejected for many years being a Balmain supporter seeing my team get so close only to loose in 88 and 89
That's what made the victory in 2005 so much sweeter

Sorry but I just don't understand how you or anyone can constantly bag a **team** on social media that they are ment to support
To me it's similar to parents who aggressively scream at children playing football while watching from the sidelines

You say your a supporter
Do you know what that means
Support meaning
(When you want someone to support you it means you want a push, a reassurance that where you're going and what you're doing is OK. Itmeans wanting people to be by your side regardless of what about. Being supportive means being there when it counts most, and when it doesn't)

Well I've had my say
Carry on now

Well said mate, I know it can be hard sometimes to follow our beloved team and we all wear our heart on our sleeves in different ways but I choose to support like you do. Not saying we all should be the same but there’s no doubt everyone here has the same dream!!

It's a good addiction...I think

Surprised we are even bothering in 2020...

I agree we should load the CC team and target that comp

We haven’t even played a trial game and the players are being judged already... lol so much negativity

Well considering that the majority of the playing roster are coming from the last few seasons ..YES the judgment is already in , no surprises amongst this lot unless Brooks finally steps up .

In Brooks defence his spine this year will be a bloke in mid 30’s, no specialist fullback, no specialist hooker.

I agree with you 100% ..you can support your team how ever you want we all expect results..but isn't having a go at someone who is positive in their support and accusing them of accepting mediocrity the same as the positive supporter accusing the negative one of constant bagging and running down the club..?

As for mediocrity we all must accept it as we have now actual power to change it with either positive or negative thoughts.....After all if you didn't truly accept it you wouldn't bother and go do something else with your time and energy like Go Fishing or something...

I don’t care about the 1-5 as much as I care about the 1, 6, 7 and 9. We’re looking like a bottom 4 side if we don’t make a signing from left field.

Brooks is going to have it all on his shoulders. Speak of the devil, it’s been literally months since i’ve seen his name written anywhere.

Brooks has done so well considering he's never had good dummy half service. I shudder to think what he's gonna cop this year.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Hang on parra brought in 5-6 players we got nothing big difference


They brought them in during and after their wooden spoon year, ie over 18 months.

I think that is what will happen with us also. It will take time.

I’ve heard this same spiel since 2013. 7 years. You can’t blame people for getting annoyed when they are told it will take time and to have patience. Some get sick of it. All that matters atm is 2020, and it’s not looking too promising.

Where were we the supposed wooden spooners? Said who?

Simkins upgraded ,Cini upgraded are possibles but i am confidant the tigers will have future signings.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

A lot of the media are predicting us to finish last. Normally I write them off as ignorant and lazy, not bothering to actually look at our squad. This year, though, I believe them. It's going to be a tough year. How did it come to this?
