LIVE GAME Round 14 v the Panthers

[Tom Shines]

Didn't they compare the two teams?

Chalk and cheese.

Next week is when it really matters.

Yeah I agree that next week is more important …. It’s hard to be optimistic about any game though after that debacle

 

[Tom Shines]

There isn’t one. Even the teams that finish below us never get done as badly as us. I actually thought this season was going to be different and we wouldn’t be the team that got flogged by the highest margin for once. What a fool I am!

last year there was a similar 60+ shellacking from Melbourne … The Sharks put 58 on them in 2024 and in 2023 you had the 70+ loss to the Cowboys

It’s disturbing

Nah disagree, that game will be used a more fuel that will be added to the Leichhardt fire next week.

I know it was an extra 30 points then it should have been but I'm optimistic for next week

We will get smoked by the titans - they were red hot last night

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Our worst game of the year by far

 

[Stevec]

Plenty deserve to be dropped but we have no depth but you just can't have wingers or centers that cant defend
Makasini is a kid who needs at least a full year in reserve grade as he has zero positives at the moment
Tavana is a little better but also is always out of position
Murray and Geyer are NSW cup level at best
Luai creates very little and confuses our attack
Seyfarth is also a weak link .
Ordinary games from May and Pole and Madden .
Our Squad of top 30
Is basically at start of the year
1-15 very good
16 - 30 ( reserve grade standard)
In other words NO BLOODY DEPTH
So lose a few key players to injury and we can't field a quality NRL team
Benji got carried away with a few kids that shone in the trials and then kept backing them !
He made bad bets and lacks judgement
Club also must recruit more depth .
Today is a very dark day with a team playing dumb and as Benji said
" were not even trying " Shameful way to treat the fans

They should be embarrassed..but we’ll see …I’m not gunna put the mortgage payment on them

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

This game showed us Murray, Hope, Geyer are not NRL standard

I sat behind the posts and I have to defend Tavana here. He did a great job today considering. Yes a couple of time they stripped that side, but thats to be expected when the rest if the team is being run through like kindergarten kids. Turuva and Tavana did a great job on McLean and Jenkins.

Add Seyfarth,Makasini,Tavana,Madden

 

[davey_farrell]

Can't we go 1 year without these annual 60 plus point floggings

Nope unfortunately

 

[Gazman]

Has Benji opened the door to those players not buying into the culture yet ?

 

[Tim Sheens]

Luai saved our arse on numerous occasions last week with his D or we don't win that game. We are as much of a reality check for him about playing in a bottom club compared to a top club, as we were in thinking he could make the difference we needed to get out of the doldrums.

Jarome has been a good deal better than most have given him credit for prior to this afternoon this year, but today was way below what he needed to bring.

Especially so when he was at marker for the first dummy-half try and when playing hot potato with a bunch of similarly poor others near our try line.

Yiure not alone
Many thought wed turned a corner...many were sure wed make the eight..still a slight hope but .thats looking less.and.less.likely now.
Feel like the kid hoping for a.PS5 for his birthday and unwraps a jigsaw puzzle

Crowd today 21,803, really surprised me after only 17,000 + v Dogs.
I think it shows how Dogs fans have dropped off.

That culture thing only goes so far, half of our squad is reserve grade standard.

Talent and everything else that makes a good footballer is what you need

 

[davey_farrell]

Hope ur dropping madden as well

He is the first to go

Yeah well ours might drop down to 5,000 next week too. Who wants to pay good money to watch the shitshow that is the Wests Tigers, only masochists.
