So let me get this right....

It is the coaches job to get players up for a game, everyone knew Cowboys would be up for it and our coaches should have used that and Cowboy's Old Boys week as extra motivation. Both teams started well, so I don't think revenge is worth a 126 point turnaround.

Maybe the coach did use all that as motivation and did do their absolute best to get the players ready

You wouldn't know

And as if the players didn't know the cows rounds be up for it and that they'd have to bee good to match them

The coach can only do so much

The players knew what was coming and they dogged it

It was just to hard for them


They are living the life most ppl can only dreamed of but when it got tough they dogged it

They are professional players receiving really good salaries and all they can do is humiliate their fans with the 3rd biggest loss in Australian rugby league history

All 17 players inn that games should be handing their monthly salaries to a charity that deserve it

Only 3rd biggest loss? That makes WT winners or better yet, have something to aim for; the biggest loss.

We got sharks next week, come on boys let’s aim for 80.
 
The club has weak character. For over a decade now, whenever there's been a game they should win, they choke. In their "good times" they would hover near the 8. At some point there'd be a crunch game - win or miss out, and they always choked.

Then they hire Ivan, who paid massive overs on long term contracts for journeymen with broken bodies. He realised he'd made massive mistakes and avoided any consequences by escaping to Penrith. The club just lets him do it to them, no problemo. Never mind the contract. Like with Moses, throwing games and feigning mental illness.

The Tigers have been a basket case ever since, not helped by Maguire. Souths were terrible in the years after winning the comp, despite having a top lineup. They lost confidence and kept dropping the ball - like the Tigers now - until Siebold fixed them up.

Compare Melbourne with Slater, Cronk and Smith against the Tigers with Tedesco, Moses and Farah. The difference was ego. The Tigers players got big egos and played for themselves while the Melbourne players worked tirelessly for the team.

Ego is the Tigers' Achilles heel. If they have a big win or two you KNOW they will have a bunch of congratulatory and backslapping interviews afterwards and soon start playing poorly again. Whenever there's a crunch game, they fold. Every. Single. Time. That is no accident.

The team needs a sports psychologist (or a philosopher, guru or messiah) to get their heads out of their bums and to remember that it's a team game.

It was an insulting offer to the best half available by miles. It is 100% on the club that they have no first grade halves for 2024 and only one (Brooks) in 2023.

Dont think Brooks had any intention of staying.
Every likelihood the club knew his manager had been shopping him around - no secrets in the NRL. They would have looked like real gooses to offer him more only for him to turn them down. If Brooks wanted to stay his manager would have entered into negotiating what he wanted - he knew Sheens/Benji wanted him - but he didnt, and WTs needed him to confirm his intentions so they could replace him.
Gould said he committed elsewhere weeks ago - and no coincidence Brooks/Siebold both managed by IMoses and deal announced pronto.

I think there’s more value in drawing correlations between board decisions and subsequent poor on field performances.
When the coach is undermined players go flat, it changes the atmosphere of the shed.
As a player, you want the entire club to be singing from the same hymn book.

I'm a Brooks fan, but he, as a player doesn't turn this around tonight. I suggest that there's trouble brewing at the Tigers, players told to look elsewhere, moving on Joe O and the clubs treatment of Brooks. Both Joe and Luke are well liked by the playing group and the way management has treated them has likely had an impact. The club needs to start addressing things top down.

Club couldn't dress a salad.

Someone independent needs to go thru the joint
