Team v Souths - 1 change

[tiger_one]

Im not as quick to kill Taylor.

Ill reserve my judgement until after the game and see what performances are dealt.

Must admit, im getting antsy, but ill still wait. There must be something going on that we dont know about. No one, not even Taylor is that stupid.

Certainly has the support of many respectable people in the media who know far more than we do, so ill wait and see.

I have said it a hundred times, please listen. SALARY CAP, SALARY CAP. There, now 102.

We're told that's the root cause, BUT that still doesn't explain it to the average Joe who wants Wests Tigers to be equal with other teams across the board.

Like Parra can rort the comp (so it is alleged) for 4 years in the main cap, buy name player after name player, then suffer practically nothing yet we suffer week in, week out 'cause we're in "cap trouble!"

The average fan pays his hard-earned for a team to follow week to week, hoping for an equal shot at a fair go.

I cannot believe JAC was left out again and Rankin was selected. We are going to end up losing JAC to a club that is willing to select teams on performance. It is a bit of worry to see Chee Kam's father comment on the Wests Tigers Facebook team announcement that he feels his son will never get a chance no matter how well he performs. He also stated that he thinks he made a mistake coming to the club and hopes and prays that he goes to another club.

I can because JAC is injured..

They've named him in State Cup.

I have deleted multiple posts in the this thread due to people swearing. Consider this a blanket reminder that swearing, included disguised swearing is against forum rules. From this point forward if I see it members will receive warnings. If members persist in doing it, the ban hammer drops.

The JT apologists are getting less and less by the week.

He is becoming worse then Sheens at selecting the same old rubbish.

At least Sheens teams were competitive most weeks.

7 straight losses coming up on Thursday.

Who cares really, let him dig his own grave if he doesn't want to shake things up.

Nathan Brown is building something far more sustainable at the Knights already. Not afraid to drop senior players, rewarding training performance with selections. None of the sort ever happened here.

Taylor has named Grant Halatau and Naiqama who are also in doubt…

I'll be surprised if Grant and Halatau play. Our front row depth is shot to bits, if Grant is out then either Dallas Graham or Jordan Grant are next in line. If Halatau is out I'd give Chee-Kam a run, or Edwards.

I think we will improve significantly in attitude but lack the execution to dig ourselves out of this hole. We have too many players who will look for the soft options when the going gets tough. Our kicking game will be exposed once again as inadequate and our defense will struggle to meet them on the advantage line. Can we win? Hell yes we are playing the Bunnies!

I care. I was going batty by the amount of losses prior to the Storm game. Now I'm just getting depressed. I think Taylor has it in for me.

Don't know why there's a surprise there wasn't many changes. Pascoe said as much, they have 5 days to turn it around. So they had to pretty much run out with the same side to see if they could turn it around, if they don't win though, we better see some changes.

I used to love football season. Now the weekend comes and goes with very little excitement. I spoke to a few people today who asked 'did you see the footy on the weekend' my reply was 'i'm a tigers supporter so i don't really care'.
I don't have a magic wand but geez i wish we could go back to the days of being proud of our team.

 

[clifferdSH]

Atleast this game is over and done with by Thursday so I don't have to put up with this shit over the weekend.

 

[Saturnalia]

I have a feeling his selections are based on salary cap restrictions, can anyone confirm or deny?

Isn't that what '[automatically edited]' is for? Thought it was a cool function that could really let us vent, and the readers could read between the lines.

 

[Eddie]

Even if it is based on Salary Cap restrictions that get out of jail free card for me.

Its means they picked players in the Top 25 that should not be there and they are forced to stick with them.

Makes it even worse really.

SO its still a selection issue.

Kind of hard to back him when he won't make the changes within his power.

 

[haberfield_tiger]

JT must of had a labotomy… This is will do me.. Surely after that performance you drop at least 3 players. Make a statement..have a go..

It will be the same side that got thumped by Canberra and the reason will be that these players need to be given the chance to redeem themselves.

Shock, horror - how did I know this was coming. I'm amazed everyone is so surprised. Its been the same way for 16 years. I just don't understand this club. They have the potential to be one of the top clubs in the NRL but they just don't want to take that first step away from mediocrity.

 

[stevied]

I'm not sure if anyone already said this but actually there are no changes as Simona comes back from injury…...What is wrong with Taylor? These roster debacles are so incredible that they're funny. We were all confident that there would be significant changes and we were excited at the thought but.....we also had a sneaky feeling in our hearts that the same, ineffective, spineless elections would be turned out...and our gut feeling was right. Pathetic.
