LIVE GAME Round 21 v Raiders

[jirskyr]

I didnt say it was against the Tigers. You made that assumption. Its not about being against teams, its about being for teams. Canberra's are a chance of congestion that bottom 8 in the final rounds so they got the calls. I didnt mention a conspiracy against the Tigers

Ok fair enough

And annoy most of our roster and probably end up with a SL coach. No thanks.

So we just got to keep benji and sit in the bottom 4 untill 2030 , I got a feeling Samuel and his brothers will leave and pole will also leave , and how the hell will we get players to come to the club , if we keep losing games , getting flogged every week , I for one wouldn’t go never the place

Need to sign Samuela.

We have a young roster who will improve.

I’d probably be offloading Pole.

Need an impact prop imo

 

[Wezt]

Pole is playing heaps better then May atm

 

[Nasser]

we need to keep pole, and then add 2-3 more forwards on top of him. if we release pole we need to sign an extra forward which is proving hard given we haven't signed any for next year

The point is, he isn’t ready and needs to be managed properly. Same with the young hooker.
We have seen the club stuff up similar opportunities before and don’t want it repeated with this current crop.

Yeah, fair point and that's why I mentioned he should be paired with Latu and realistically that would probably be in reserve grade, for one thing, I don't see Benji dropping Luai.

Maybe he should ask Luai to play lock for the rest of the year, but then as I said, I don't see us winning another game this season and pairing the 2 young guys in NRL losing every week is either going to harden them up or break them completely.

Yes, we have seen this club stuff up similar opportunities and I really don't know the right thing to do with all the turmoil and dramas that we constantly see at this club.

All I know is who would want to be a coach, especially at the Wests Tigers.

 

[hank37w]

Tavana got a medium term contract on one very athletic try in the trials
Every time weve elevated him to NRL hes been a defensive disaster

Another one that is not ready for NRL.

I don't want to be critical of the guy but he needs to hit the gym and the weights pretty hard in the off season.

Was looking at him on screen yesterday and he doesn't appear to have an muscle on him, his arms look like mine and I'm 70 and when people mention gym, my usual reply is that I don't know him.

 

[hank37w]

That’s true. Although they were caught off guard and totally flat footed. Bula was actually in a position to tackle Weekes.

That's exactly right, it was a Week tackle.

Where’s his contract?

and slow too.And at 85 kgs,aint gonna bulldoze his way to the tryline
Does anyone do benchmark testing before we sign up players on long term contracts??
Or is it they just get along with coaching staff??

 

[hank37w]

We’re the first team to have 50+ put on us 3 times this season.

Pretty sure we can make that 8 times or at least give it a pretty good nudge.

 

[hank37w]

I said at the time when Luai announced he was going to PNG that it was, ill timed, unprofessional & would wreck the club for the rest of the season & was pillored by the keyboard warriors for bagging Luai.
He could've said to the WST his intention of looking into in the off season & then made his decision but No his ego & the money got in front of commonse & well.......

Welcome to the forum.

Interesting Member's name OTS, does it stand for Over This Shit?

 

[hank37w]

it was painful
lol
that bloody Viking clap haha

It was always coming back to haunt us after that episode at Leichhardt.

I think he hasn't made his usual dumb errors for a couple of weeks.

But then on the other hand, who in their right mind risks blowing a challenge on a ball security issue where Junior Tupou is involved, admittedly on this occasion I think Junior was a bit unlucky.

This, especially fairly early in a game where being the Wests Tigers you know there are going to be lots of much more contentious issues going to arise that would be much more worthy of a challenge.

Because they were right , and typical bunker bullshit came up with some random arse call . Dudes literally stripping at the ball , there’s 2 in the tackle , and says bal security where you see him reefing at the ball …. I’m convinced Klein and the other guy will be done for match fixing … after they retire of course .

It was a disgraceful ruling but exactly what i expect from the current referee ranks and how they treat the lower clubs.

The knock back call was the worst, they just skimmed over it but when we did the exact same thing it was under the microscope and of course ruled a knock on
