LIVE GAME Round 20 v Titans

[orange&black]

How is Staines a weak link he's had one bad game this year lol

I thought it looked fairly obvious today. Historically he has not been a shining light either.

It was clunky but taking a glass half full approach:
* Taylan May looks to have lost nothing in his absence. Huge threat and put his winger in space.
* I thought we made enough line breaks to win a bit easier
* We made better yardage up the middle than last week.
* The spoon is that much further away
* Jerome was good today
* Douiehi at 13 is worth persevering with if he can get some miles in his legs.

I believe Bula is back next week so I would leave him in NSW Cup with a view to introducing him to the NRL later in the year. I'm probably wrong but he's young.

Makasini shouldn't play NRL level until after a full off-season in the trials.

And my god we need help with our coaching. I’d keep Marshall as he seems to be able to sign players and lots of them want to play for him. But we are really struggling on our structures/tactics - need people underneath him doing the Xs and Os.

Yes Benji desperately needs help. That was such a clunky effort today, didn't look like a professional football at all !

That game was terrible to watch.
Unforgivable slop from both sides that was not first grade quality football.
Thankfully we weren’t the worst team out there.

I'll always take the win but, unfortunately, this just papers over the cracks.

How many times did Terrell pass it directly to Taylan?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a prop have such a ballplaying relationship with a centre before.
It’s like he said “I’m not giving it to these other nuffies, I’ll just run it over to him and make sure he gets it”.

I reckon there was a lot of that going on. Big T knew he had to get the ball out to Little T and the only way that was gonna happen was if he did it himself. No trust with Jerry and Latu at all.

Who is our attacking coach

 

[Chunk]

Yeah terrible performance however, it was great to see the effort and hunger for a win was obvious.

The desire is essential, so hopefully they'll continue to work hard on improving their performance.

They are still a 'young' team

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I know we got there in the end, but trying to get into position for the field goal, it took every fibre of their being just to give themselves a shot. Even that last play, the play the ball came from the sideline. WTF is Luai there for?

 

[simonsatiger]

we just won a game with a try and a fg in the last few mins and peeps are complaining.

that was faarking brilliant

Who is our attacking coach

according to chatgpt its Neil Henry.


who is wests tigers attacking coach

ChatGPT said:​

Wests Tigers’ head coach is Benji Marshall, who took over the NRL side ahead of the 2024 season
In addition to Marshall, the club also employs specialist coaches. According to the WestsTigersForum, Neil Henry fills the role of attacking coach, praised for being “one of the game’s best tacticians”
Here’s a quick summary:

Role	Coach
NRL Head Coach	Benji Marshall
Attacking Coach (specialist)	Neil Henry

So for the 2025 season, Benji Marshall leads the team overall, with Neil Henry focused specifically on improving the Tigers’ attack.

After a great game against Roosters he has gone cold in last 2 games

True .

We favoured the middle too much.
The edge was the threat today.

Not sure the logic but the middle was not delivering today. Needed to be getting the ball to Taylan and Toa more.

and jeepers tiny MAY is a gun

 

[tigeress]

None of us are sure how any of this is going to play out, Benji is the coach, until he's not...
And Luai hasn't removed his get out clause yet...

Get-out clauses should be banned - it could be a distraction to the person with that clause. They are here to play their best footy for the club they are contracted to.

I still can't believe we got out of jail on that one.

Thats a great way to end a weekend

Did you only watch the last minutes. 🤣

 

[loklok]

Happy for the win but just waiting for us to put in a solid performance in attack

 

[Squater]

Yes Benji desperately needs help. That was such a clunky effort today, didn't look like a professional football at all !

He needs an attacking coach. There is no evidence of any attacking planning at all.they are just trying to play eyes up attack and see what opens up for them. The players would do a lot better with attack planned out for them.
