LIVE GAME Round 18 versus Dragons

[Halbrowne61]

God I hate supporting this club

No you don’t, you’re really disappointed like all of us.
Got to pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and start all over again.
Team selection has to revolve around guys who can attack when we have the chance, not 5 inept forward runs followed by an inept kick.
Don’t hate, it’s just football !

What evidence is Baz using to declare this?
Latu has shown very little in first grade.

well has he played once as a half?

Let them just swim it.

Make 'em swim in the Cooks.

 

[Tom Shines]

None of them cost us the game, but none of them have the speed or attacking flair tj help win us the game.
You cannot have a team full of toilers with next to no attacking flair, otherwise they contribute to being a bog average team who struggles to scores points is what we are now seeing.
If Benji and our fans have not identified that you need a certain element of attacking flair, we will just continue banging our heads against th

They need a couple of new Top 17 level forwards mate … no money apparently so onwards we go

putting crap on the 05 team is just low.

great team that played a great brand of footy and deserved everything they got.

They were average until they got to the finals. A charmed run through that month is their legacy.
It was a fluke they never managed to replicate.

What a disgraceful performance. Everything to play for, season on the line and they put that up . Zero care factor , no heart, never been so ashamed to be a tigers supporter after that game. Actually feel sorry for my kids that they have to follow this pathetic club and the pathetic performances they deliver with so much to play for .

Your weaknesses are always going to be exposed in a completion of this level half way through - especially when we are a squad that can't afford the level of injuries to key players that we have had to consistently manage.
. Effort will get you so far but the reality is there are talented squads below us that at some point are likely to hit their straps - let alone the ones above us - and our good start to the season is now correcting itself

 

[davey_farrell]

Benji has got to go, we are an absolute rabble the excuses have got to stop, he’s been in charge since 2023 and we’ve been a disorganised mess since then

yes and we panic and sign him for a further 3 years, who in their right mind do that?? oh the wests tigers do

 

[jirskyr]

The first few weeks were a fluke. We caught other teams unprepared. This is who we are, and it's embarassing.

That's such a dead brain comment, sorry. You don't ambush a variety of opposition over 12 or so weeks. First week or two maybe.

I personally think we are just too thin a squad. As soon as injuries hit we started to list and it's been one step forward, two steps back since that period when Samuela, Doueihi, Api and Bula were all out.

Remember guys, we were leading this game with 13 to go and lost by 14… Hard to believe this is the same season I saw them destroy Newcastle at Campbelltown.

Backline looks awful. Can anyone remember the last time Turuva had a good game? We’re so heavily reliant on Taylan May. Toops could find himself playing NRL next week if he has a decent game tomorrow. Thank goodness Avarillo comes next season.

We’ll be lucky to get 10k next week. Probably only the Warriors fans coming out in force. If they don’t put on 40 they’re not trying hard enough.

As they say, it’s the hope that kills you. I think we all thought this year would be different. And yet here we are again…

That was basically a Newcastle reserve team

 

[Tucker]

Based on the evidence of late .. you are likely correct ..

But how the hell did they start 5-2?

Because when the bro culture runs hot it works.
Certainly isn’t sustainable for a whole season though.
I’d much prefer our culture to be tough hard buggers who work their backsides off.
That’s never been our go here though. We like the flashy stuff and the cool dude interviews.

 

[NT_Tiger]

Anyone who feels bad about being a WT supporter should spare a thought for the poor broncos supporters. Biggest money team in the league.

 

[Vicious]

Of course there is no money, paying too many bog average players way above what they are worth,

 

[tigerman80]

Benji ain’t going no where . They all signed for him remember. They all play for Benji. Benji is Wayne Bennett junior . Benji doesn’t need experienced coaches around him. Benji is a coaching genius that can keep hiring other ex tigers players as assistant coaches with no experience who will never want his job.

 

[jirskyr]

The question now is can we avoid the spoon?

What, this year? Dragons only have 2 wins, anyone actually think they win 5 of their last 8 to pull alongside our current position?

De courses had a stinker and we exploited him and we went Eveen that good after he got hooked

 

[Halbrowne61]

I’m really excited to see the guys laugh, smile and hug the other team at full time.

Happens every week with all teams, they’re all buddies . I think more so with the island boys, they and their families all
Seem to be friendly, many from the same country.
I saw a thing on the net recently and Cody Walker and family were having dinner at Benjis house !
I wouldn’t have Walker anywhere near me or my family.

Be 20k if they put on free KFC !

 

[Betterdays22]

No that’s not the full answer.
Luai was carried at Penrith by guys who really dug in and had a go against all opposition.
He is one of the luckiest players in history who really only muscles up against easier teams.
He is a bully.

He has been disappointing all but 3 or 4 games this year so its hard to argue with you. Im not really sure he makes much of a difference today.

I will say he has gone from Cleary to Madden, Kikau to Sione and Critta to Makasini.
