I agree the Wests Tigers have a long history of losing and the foundation clubs were also pretty unsuccessful over time but that shouldn’t prevent major change. South’s might be a better example after they were kicked out. New owners with money turned the joint around.

Well, yes. Ownership is the issue. A far, far bigger issue than Sheens, Brooks and whoever else below. With the right owners setting performance criteria it should be possible for even Brooks to play a hell of a lot better than he is. You'd think at some point the NRL leadership would say - "Look, your performance is now dragging down the league. Either do something about it or we do something about you". But that's Ideal World thinking. Not reality, I guess.

Ok mate.
The forwards aren’t the problem. I’m telling you now. Incompetence from the useless halves is the killer.
Any pack is going to struggle to stay on task when they constantly do the hard work getting the team into attacking positions on the field and the dopes wearing 1, 6, and 7 kick dead, drop the ball, throw intercepts, run into each other or get tackled with the ball on the last themselves. Absolute tools.
Anyway, just my thoughts.

No. That just doesn't wash. We can argue as much as we like about whether Jackson Hastings deserved to be canned by the Tigers (I think it was a bad decision - but that's just me). But regardless of my feelings - a halfback partnership of Hastings & Tyson Gamble isn't going to win any titles. When the Knights lost Ponga their forwards didn't quit. They upped the ante. Forwards blaming backs for their lack of intensity - no. Just no. How about the forwards do their jobs, stop the Broncos from running unobstructed over the try line so the backs at least have a shot at making the game competitive? Regardless of whether they are good enough - Luke Brooks and AD were not the reason the Tigers lost so badly in Brisbane. The pack quit in the first ten minutes!

I suspect we do get spoken about regularly at NRL HQ.
This is our 24th season and we have only played finals 3 times.
We’ve caused a lot of drama and become whipping boys for the media.
We fail to improve.
We are noticed in the same way that a drunk is noticed at family gatherings when he constantly swears in front of the kids and knocks tables over smashing shit everywhere…

Or it could be Ian Millward...

Sheens sacked 14 Madge players and has since moved on Ken, and probably Daine and Noff. He knows it’s a weak squad. The big question now is can he overcome the fact that the club stinks in the eyes of elite players? A clean out in head office and some real footy IQ alongside Sheens would help.

How do you clean out head office when they're answerable and accountable to nobody?
