LIVE GAME Round 18 versus Dragons

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Maybe not but will this one do?

Good selection Tuck, like George and the boys.

 

[Chunk]

Nice try assist by Averillo

Yes.

What about the performances of these two teams compared to the Tigers, fairdinkum

 

[Chunk]

This Knights went from being a basket case in 2025 under O'Brien to a semi finals bounds team in 2026 under a new coach...Why oh why can't the WT do the same!!!!....haven't we suffered enough over the last 15 years!

Nah, what about the roster.

Ponga, Fletchers, back rowers, hooker (Kiwi hooker), the bench, wingers

All better then the Tigers

 

[Spacecub]

Season now on life support as we are now only a mathematical chance
🤣

Seriously tiger do you think the NRL would want this shit show in the playoffs

Alex Eala beat the defending Wimbledon champion in a huge upset and said "Just because I'm emotional doesn't mean I'm satisfied. On to the next round". Those are the words of a fighter.

The Tigers could learn a thing or two from that mentality. They have the odd emotional win and think that's the job done.

We are not ruthless enough with a burning desire to win every time we take the field, we are just content with a participation award and causing an upset every now and then. That's just not good enough for fans.

If it's just a job to them and nothing more what's the point of following them any more? They've lost me.

The management up here aren't a shitshow who make irrational decisions like extending the worst coach in the comp, with no other interest from other clubs

Red hot call then from the bunker saying that kickoff never broke the 10m plane 😂

It can’t be this hard surely … every game I watch these blokes have to ignore the evidence of their eyes…

I feel we need better assist coaches.

Same garbage year in year.

It boggles my mind everytime Benji says he need to look at his preperation why none of the journos suggest thats why having 2 experienced assistant coaches is a good idea. They could tell him how to train and optimise his preperation. Instead of guessing every week.

Like that girl. She's a champion tennis player. The issue with us is we are an emotional team who are happy to lose pretty rather than win ugly as ricky stuart said last week vs dragons. We beat galvin when we want or following a 68-0 flogging, but not the rest of the season

I think it's clear the reason why we have our assistant coaches is because they are all we can get. Bit like our head coach.
They are all here because they have a fondness for the club and are willing to do the job.

I think this may be the case also.
Theyre probably paid peanuts compared to assistants elsewhere...reggies coach is part time for example.
Im sure they honestly love the club and winning a maiden comp together forms strong bonds...but it can become comfortable if you know theres no threat of someone else taking your job...and thats never good in any job
