Disappointing end to the season, it’s one hell of a punish supporting this team the highs are great and then the lows bring us crashing down to earth.
Regardless we will all be back next year let’s hope the likes of Seyfarth, Mason , Toa ,Sukkar and Naden are never seen in first grade again.
It’s also time for Benji to have some descent assistants.
At least the suffering is over for six months only positive is we didn’t get the spoon but we still have such long way to go.

withdrawals ,there not fun

You should never get beat if you get to 28 points before the opponent. It's mentally weak and it's endemic to the club.

Tigers improved this year by beating some tough opponents in tight games, usually by coming from behind. They don't ever seem to know how to play from in front and they still dont know how to wrestle back control if the opponent starts getting on top.

2025 is an improvement on 3-straight spoons but we've ballsed up a clean opportunity to bag a few end-season wins and look forward to 2026.

 

[upthetigers]

Don't be to disheartened we have a bog average pom coming from the new wooden spooners and jock madden woo hoo

Already writing him off before even playing a game for the tigers

 

[Muffstar]

Why no Break for Api??

Why no break for Terrell May??


Have stated this before we need a tackling coach, new defensive co -Ordinator, Skills and development plan what we saw tonight was very poor. But really do not give a flying F because we did not get the spoon.

You try and keep Mason OFF the field as long as possible.

 

[stephen]

The surprising thing about this loss is that there are actually some here that are surprised.

 

[Spacecub]

your the voice of reason why the passive aggressives should not be disheartened next year . But hope you wear your badge with pride if we slide

I'd love to be more optimistic merlot but a few teams around us I can see improving I think bottom 5 is where we will finish again

 

[Droppy05]

There’s plenty of positives in my opinion. Our backs are now NRL class and our pack is young. We lack hard men who opponents fear. Remains to be seen if it’s coachable or we just need to rebuild the pack. Trust Richo is well aware of this.

I love your half glass full view.

 

[upthetigers]

We don’t have enough honest workers who will give you a solid 7.5-8 every week.

Yes, the Liam Martins, Angus Chrightons, Lindsay Collins, battle hardened professionals

 

[Spartan117]

Can't believe we blew that lead.

Very poor from the tigers in the last game of an improved year.

expect we both think your wrong

 

[bigsiro]

It’s not a huge improvement when you add about 7-8 premiership wins to the squad since that time, including one of the ‘best’ halves in the game - it’s just not.

Saying the club is better because we won more games than we have in forever - when this squad shits all over the ones you’re referencing doesn’t justify how poor we’ve been this year.

No one in their right mind had us making the 8.
I had us finishing around this position. I thought with some new players it was achievable, still challenging, but realistic.

We seldom played for 80 mins.
We had the Galvin saga.
We weren’t consistent over the season.

But we all saw something this year. We showed grit and flair.
We became watchable again.
We had some great wins. Some games we should have won. And some we’d rather forget.

I don’t agree that our squad is so much better that we should have finished higher. We brought in some guns, but our team is still a way off top 8, and for us to finish higher our team simply needs more artillery. And experience together.

Was it a failure of a season? Well, we missed the 8. So yes it’s a failure for me.

But it was not as much of a failure as recent seasons. Far from it.

We have to acknowledge the fact we had the most wins in 6 years and this, following 3 years of spoon in a row.
It is not insignificant.

So whether that represents a “huge improvement” to you, or a little improvement, either way it’s something.
Potential.
This team can build on that.
And they must.

its way to early to polish the crystal ball, yet

 

[Demps]

Already writing him off before even playing a game for the tigers

Was wondering if he'd make a good 14...
Penrith use their 14 well.

Give Api a rest or play a roaming role.

Depends how we use AD & Latu, i guess.

 

[upthetigers]

Can't believe we blew that lead.

Very poor from the tigers in the last game of an improved year.

Momentum changed when we were on the attack in the red zone, Luai kicked behind the line, it was blocked by a titan's player foot they gathered the ball and score a length of field try. We score in that set, we win the game.

Fixing our pack may not be that easy, that’s the flip side.

There were real worrying signs all game. We were missing tackles at an alarming rate

No lead is ever big enough it seems … yes that was a shocking error from Luai … but truth be told they were under the pump the entire second half

could be the missing key for position no:13

Luai really needs to step up and ice those moments. He's changed the culture of the club we were in nearly every game this season, but we need more from him on the field.
