We all have a hard working week only to get to the Weekend and be miserable…...then Monday morning go to work only to cop it by your work colleagues .
It's a great life being a Tigers supporter at the moment and doesn't seem to be getting any better for a while to come .

Taylor has definitely bitten off more than he can chew. I think a career in polotics would be more down his alley. His got the spin and the promises he just can't deliver. His told us all what we wanted to hear at the beginning of the season and now what we are well on track for our first wooden spoon. I have to agree with all of Tigermamas assesment ofJT today.
Why did the board sign him up for 3 years. Wow some learn by their mistakes we just keep making them.

As each week passes we hit new lows. This team has gone to the dogs and ATM there is no team that deserves the spoon more than we do.
I really rated JT when he came onboard and we had some very good results in the trials and first few weeks of the season. But since then its been one disaster after another.
The last few weeks I haven't even watched the games and you get to the stage where you say " F EM" …....why waste my time watching that crap.
I understand that the team is young, but there is a mixture of experience there as well....the fact is we should be doing better....you cannot bread a culture of success by going backwards each year.
I thought Potter was unlucky to lose his job last year and if we are perfectly honest......we were playing better footy.
Has anyone noticed the brooks / teddy combo is virtually non existent these days.......
Football is a Business......if you have a failing business - you have no customers.......probably explains why our crowds are so poor these days.....people cant be bothered.

Nah, if Australian politics is anything to go by Taylor's approach ought to be:
QUESTION: Your team was horrible today, and it really looks like you aren't competent - what's your response?
TAYLOR: PERTH! SCARY PERTH! WE WILL ALL HAVE TO MOVE TO PERTH IF I DON'T STAY IN CHARGE!
QUESTION: But that's got nothing to do with it - you just aren't doing a good job. Shouldn't you be more worried about the fact that the team you're managing is really bad?
TAYLOR: DO YOU WANT TO BE THE PERTH DEATH CULTS? WOO! BE SCARED! PERTH!
QUESTION: Could someone do a better job than you?
TAYLOR: PERTH! SEND BACK THE BOATS! PERTH!

I agree, my verdict on Taylors selection as coach was reserved. I have not seen anything that makes me comfortable with him as our coach! We are going backwards at a great rate of knotts. The Souths win is starting to look like a massive fluke. Our much celebrated halves have produced little! They show no signs of improving, in fact look like our weak link. We let players go who are now enjoying success in other clubs. Blair and Austin to name two. How we could have done with Austins performances in games this year! He is big strong and mobile as a 5/8 and is part of the reason the Raiders are doing well. I was rapt in Tapau and so glad he is in our club, but now even he seems to be struggling and opposition. Opponents seem to be able to monster and bully our team without fear or reprisal, why is that?

An interesting article including comments from Jim Doyle regarding introducing young talent to the NRL and the difficult balancing act. The Warriors have always been a club which can buy to supplement their juniors. Perhaps this puts our efforts this year into perspective if you consider how many young players we have in our team.

@everett said:Where is our next win going to come from.???????????????????????????????
We play Parramatta next week. If Simmonds can score 4 tries against us Sami could come up with a new NRL record. most tries every scored in one match especially if Richards and Hoeter are marking him.
Yes we will make Parra look like premiership contenders based on todays effort! :sign:
Effort was there from most. Talent and ability is lacking from most. Can't win too many games with a team of plodders. Were carrying half a team of NSW Cup players. Almost as many as Gold Coast today. They tried but lacked talent to win. We may get lucky sometimes (Souths), but until we replace a solid chunk of the roster with players with some ability and our young guns gain more exp, things look grim.

@cunno said:Shameful display by the coach not trying to fix our defence weakness once Simona went off, Badger wasn't much better, today I left about 8 minutes early which I haven't done before such was my disappointment, shameful is a good word Tigermama.
ditto cunno, first time i have ever left leichhardt early as well, even sat right through to the bitter end of the cowboys and titans debacles but today was the last straw. it just aint good enough anymore JT. time is up !
@MacDougall said:Cherrington is already better than Farah. Seriously Farah has declined rapidly and would be one of the worst hookers in the comp now.
Garbage. Your whinging is ridiculous. He is declining but doesn't deserve the blame for today.

When Wallace kicked the field goal, the TV went off and I retired to spend time with my family. The wife asked 'What are you doing, I thought it still had another 15 minutes' - she knew something was up.

Lol FT… Glad i have Monday off this week... :wink:
Today's display by the Tigers showed us alot..I was there with my 2 sons….and at NO time did I get excited..even at half time when we were up 12-10 I was concerned as their try s were soft!..Here is my summary:
1) Either Taylor can't coach or we have many players who are NOT NRL standard.
I'm sick of hearing how we are playing to a structure and concentrating on our defence...we are leaking points in 2015 in the same fashion as we did in 2013 & 2014...nothing has changed!...we are a pathetic team(coaches and players)
2) I'd like to know where our Salary CAP is being spent on...surely we cant be on the CAP limit with these bunch of plodders?...Assuming we are on the CAP limit we are grossly overpaying many players in our top 25!...why are we the ONLY team not to have recruited a decent signing for 2016?..I can cop that if we are travelling well, but we aren't and there is no new blood on the horizon!.
3) The players in the 2015 squad are 12 months older than last year...but as a team we have NOT shown improvement on our 2014 performances....given our relatively GOOD injury run in 2015 we have definitely gone backwards as a team.
4) Despite what we are being fed the teams future is anything BUT rosy...few players have actually kicked on in 2015 compared to 2014...Tapau and Woods(sort of)....are it...The rest are very inconsistent or just not up to it!....I fear the latter....
5) Who would want to join the WT as a player or coach?..we are a team that has no money; a bunch of overrated under performing "kids" and we are the worst finals performing team in the NRL over the last 10 years...players want to join clubs where they have a chance of playing finals footy....this just doesn't happen at the WT..no wonder we cant sign anyone!
6) Farah is past it....we have 2 more years of his leadership and average play..we all see this but will JT have the courage to admit it as well?..
7) JT and the WT have until RD 26 to convince me to renew my membership for 2016....all I ask for is a sign the team is on the improve...its clear we will NOT make the 8 this year again....but we are almost favourites to get the spoon...and I need a sign the WT of 2016 will be a huge improvement on past years before I renew!...so far I have little confidence this side will deliver that small request.

@everett said:I think the players and coach should ring up everyone who attending today's game and personally apologise for pretending to be a NRL side.
Then Jason Taylor should win an Academy Award for convincing a board he was up to NRL coaching level.
Agree 100% everett. I felt such joy when i saw all those Orange and Black jerseys in a packed Leichhardt oval. I was hopeful the boys will put in the effort for their fans. And what a lovely sight it was to see Big Keith lead the team out with baby Kingston in his arms :stuck_out_tongue:
They had every reason to win today, but failed once again.. :frowning:

In another thread WTD, it was mentioned that JT is the WT undertaker. I Lol. Not any more. I think their are right. Under JT we seem to be Dead man Walking. :bawling
