LIVE GAME Round 8 vs. Sea Eagles

[Winston Churchill]

You obviously weren't following wests or balmain then

At least those horrible Tigers teams of the 90s had heart.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Can't win a close game if your 7 goes to water like that

Sadly, true.

When we were ahead he had three sets to ice it...each time he was clueless. Literally, clueless. Api had to basically take over.

We are playing footy with a 7 with NO IQ at all. None.

He can run in open play, and that is it.

18 months since he had a win as a 7.

18....think about it...18....months.

This season is gone and so is the future until he is gone.

Can't expect anything else, we decided to bring back the Tigers loser DNA when we appointed Sheens, Benji and Farah.

Same guys that have failed to get us to finals over and over and over.

This club is bonkers.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

What makes you think it will get better when Sheen's goes?

He takes Brooks and Brooks blackmail material with him

 

[tonza]

To’a was good
Kepeoa was quiet
Toupo and Staines are ok
Need new halves now

Kepoa was playing out of position. Should have been in 2nd row from the start. (On the bench) We have all seen how inept he is in defence when wearing no.4. Well all of us bar the wonderful coaches we have. Have we renewed the 7 yet?

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Another week winning the field position and the middle and another week where there’s no organisation or ability to capitalise in the opposition 20. Thought forwards were good again though.

Brooks shows absolutely no enthusiasm in anything he does.

I did enjoy DCE giving Brooks a masterclass right to his face, drew him in and they score off that pass. Brooks would have felt like a right knob at that moment. Mind you if Brooks did have gumption and any feelings he would make himself unavailable for the rest of the season and move to SL if he actually cared about the Tigers and not his paycheck. I think we can all see his character where his loyalties lie with his team $$$.

Ego, they cant get egg on their faces, the way they have talked him up ad nauseum, they can not under any circumstances, even to the detriment of the team ever drop Brooks.

With all due respect, that is a supporter’s view. He is a paid professional who has a contract. Why would we walk away?

I think next week it’s 6.Laurie 7.Brooks I don’t want brooks at 7 but every coach is obsessed with this guy

 

[Tiger_claws]

Sheen’s isn’t coaching. Benji is. Sheens just does the PR stuff so Benji doesn’t cop it from media. Trust me all, the club and in particular Sheens decided the next 2 years (23 & 24) are gonna be “negative” years. If you think I am wrong I suggest this to you. Brooks never dropped but several others are dropped. No ball playing lock (this was a necessity last off season according to Sheens). Last weeks players player got moved from fullback to wing. On a rainy day (predicted showers all week) he has a centre on the bench replacing a centre and has another benchy in tough conditions only play 4 minutes. Sheens will trot out “ we matched them in the second half BS”. Its so disheartening. Unfortunately we are beaten on team list Tuesday.

 

[jadtiger]

It’s not the coaching that’s been proven over and over, it’s the nuffies running the club

You put any one of the coaches we have had in the last decade coaching this side instead of Sheens and we would be doing better than 0-7.However you are certainly correct about the muppets running the club as they ARE the major problem and i have been saying that for years,this is shown by the fact that they decided to rubber stamp and accept Sheens back as coach.

Professional?

Doesnt play like it.

 

[carltonleach]

Thought Bula went well on debut hopefully we persist with him there. Very unsure why we have 2 and 3 sometimes even 4 players in a tackle if they’re not going to wrap the ball up. Pole isn’t the answer at lock he’s an impact bench prop I like him as a player and think he’s definitely first grade material but not a lock. Our halves honestly couldn’t organise a root in a brothel that’s our biggest issue Until we get an organising half this will be the outcome, u can’t beat a team in almost every stat and still loose a game it’s well past a joke now.

Bring back JT

 

[diedpretty]

BS.

This was poor.

Let's hope we get a win when we all know we probably won't.

It wasn't just Brooks - Kepoa just stood there and watched - anyone else would have tried to slide when Brooks moved in.

I thought we were better today. More movement and speed in attack. We hit repeat sets and had them back pedalling. Work in progress for mine. Can’t knock their overall effort.

Obviously… Winston Churchill would be a big name signing,, we would have heard about it.. he has to be a supporter,, it’s a supporters forum ffs!

 

[jadtiger]

AJ has become the new Nofo in defence. Second row or left right out.

AJ is a bench forward and he has shown this year that the forwards is where he is most effective

 

[diedpretty]

What about the fact his centre outside him decided to tackle no one ?
Why was our second rower on that side nowhere to be seen ?

Exactly - it was a great play by DCE to get around his man and draw Brooks in. Brooks bashers will hang him anyway - Kepoa caused the first try and then turned to stone for the 2nd. Some on here obviously don't have a clue.

 

[madgey76]

We are 0-7 once again we had the majority of the ball and field position but with our incompetent coaching we get a loss.Can somebody please explain to me yet again why hiring Sheens was such a wonderful idea?

Cause buzz said too haha , sorry JT I want to know the answer to that question too

And he is not needed. Forwards are well and truly doing their job. They need to revolt and not go on the field with Brooks at 7. They are doing their job, the knobhead at 7 isn't doing a god damn thing except stuff up after stuff up. Imagine putting up with that at your workplace. This is also directly effecting their standing in the game, future value as a player. Loosing sides rarely get players picked for rep.
