If Douehi is not picked next week then I give up
This team and coach is far worse than Madge or Sheens achieved
PATCH things up everyone including Benji and Douehi swallow your pride to give us a fighting chance of another couple of wins
If not the fans will have to endure nothing but huge losses for rest of season
Fans more important than your pride

I don’t want to see Douehi in a Tigers jersey ever again. He’s a disgrace. End of story
 
Hello everyone. I was at the game and I can now confirm that although Adam Dooey did a silly thing he is not the reason the wests tigers have been getting pumped I repeat he is not the issue. I can also confirm that jarome luai had a stinker and anyone suggesting there is a half at the wests tigers who is currently ready to displace Dooey is kookoo! Over and out

I know we got hammered , but man when the game was on a knives edge we got some atrocious calls . After we lost our challenge there was 3 others that were bullshit as well .
The boys are lacking confidence , and geez it would hard to feel like the world is against you with some of those ref decisions. The Weekes first half try was dogshit , not only did the centre knock it on , but when he made the break thier big red was standing on the way of May making the tackle . Bula bombing those 2 tries 2nd half and it’s a different game .
We need a new forwards coach . Sorry heighno . We need 3 brand new assistants . They’re just not working .
Also finally the way our byes were spread out this year was dogshit . 1 in the first round 1 in the 2nd last . No wonder the boys are tired.
when it was munched round 1 it should have been a round 9-10 then another in round 18-20 . That would have been the fairest way . Nope . We get hammered .

You know what though, I remember so clearly supporting the old Balmain sides of the late 90s and they often tried so hard every week. Usually they just didn't have the quality, but you could see them fight, guys like Senter, Buckets, Stimson, Benny G, Shane Walker, Jason Lowrie.

It's not that there weren't the odd 40-point losses but often oppositions had WAY better rosters and I could at least admire a good amount of fight from the Tigers, especially at home. We had basically zero strike power; anything positive was all effort.

This 2026 side doesn't have that excuse. There are some kids but the talent and athletic ability in the roster is much higher than those old Balmain teams. Yeah you get bad decisions but the test of character is defending the bad calls, not dropping your head.

I can respect the fight when you don't have so much ability, but I cannot respect the lack of fight when there is so much ability in this side. We saw it only a few months ago beating these same sides quite well.

Not even close
Defensive skills and positioning diabolical...addressing the high ball just no smarts
And slow
Joint needs a cleanout from a fresh coach

Kids alright on a cup deal, learning his trade.

It's the same thing, every year though.
We find ourselves saying, we simply don't have the cattle.

Repeating the mistakes of years past.
It's infuriating.
