As a lifelong Tigers supporter, the Club should forfeit the rest of the Season or at the very least promote the entire reserve grade squad to 1st Grade and Allow their 1st grade Players Managers to shop them around, because the 1st grade Squad now run the very real risk of injuring themselves and possibly prematurely ending their Career's trying to redeem themselves for nothing, our Season is well and truly over. There is no doubt that there are some seriously Talented Players at this Club, I don't doubt their Commitment or effort nor that of the Coaching Team, but it is clearly not working and the damage to the mental health of the Players not to mention their Reputations can be devastating to their long-term Careers. This Joint Venture is done, the 2 Clubs that form the West Tigers need to disband, re-build and start again and who knows these two great Clubs may rise again to be viable competitors in the NRL. It should be evident to all that the performance of this Club has been below Par and not up to NRL standard for several seasons now, so please for the sake of your Players, Coaches and Supporters don't allow this insanity to continue.

I guess in life different people wake up at different stages. Like a wine that matures. Like a Merlot. Welcome aboard the black white and gold submarine Ray. Better late than never.

It all comes down to attitude, mental toughness and team cohesion . We so often focus on individuals but defence especially is all about 13 people working for each other and covering for each other. Tonight we were a total rabble in defence, there was no structure to our defensive line and they threw the towel in when it got tough.
This is nothing new to our club and I guess the coaching staff have to wear a lot of the blame.

But not the people that employed them.
Old Magpie fan, but new member here.Its obvious this roster we currently have,as a majority,couldn't knock a sick old arthritic pensioner off a mobility scooter.I was also told this forum was littered with Brooks sympathies and with some saying if he was out there tonight,we would have won.lol Well,we know he is finally leaving and about $ 12 mil better off than most of us.We now have "lobster pot" Fulton on recruitment and basically after tonights fiasco I doubt we would have any player looking for a new start knocking on our door.My car Tiger number plates will be coming off this week and thank God I turned off Foxtel 25 mins into tonight's broadcast.
Not enough first grade players to sustain an equitable competition under the current salary cap rules and the NRL want to add another one!
I see no way out with strong influence player managers have in ensuring the best players get deals at the stronger clubs.
Id like to think a change of leadership might shake things up but starting to think the NRL's expansion plans is only going to create more grief for WTs.

We are in huge trouble as the comp grows.
Welcome Robbo56 ! I checked my phone for the score at 30min and when I saw 30-0 I knew we were in for a flogging..this is the reason we are not attracting players, unfortunately they all want to go to a club they know will play finals footy and we sure don't look like that club. For whatever reason dishing up this sort of rubbish week in and week out is a joke, and none of us out here can do anything about it...disgraceful

Last nights mess I feel runs deeper than we think or know
Team mates play for each other and their club .
Joffa getting pissed off to eels and not wanting to leave , upsetting playing group was genuine leader of the boys .
Brooks may have been wanted by players and coach , leaving now again upsetting players
Brooks told by coach your our 7 , then coach goes out looking for an Experienced 7 while our current 7 is in his wrong spot ,6.
multiple players of quality Knock us back Pearce , Mosses , Munster , Trelll , current players think shit nobody wants to come hear even on overs .
Brooks leaving , the current senior players will know we don’t have a 6 or 7 for next year and are thinking spoon next 3 years , I want out of hear .The kids we are chasing aren’t going to fix this anytime soon .
Justin , would be sacked at any other club , leader but failing
Lee , pretend gangster need to piss off , he is a big mouth .
Board , incompetent bunch of people who would all be removed under a member paying voting right system which needs to be introduced urgent , then you get accountability for actions , this lot are a disgrace .
Sheens past his use by date
Benji / Robbie. , ??? if this is Benji coaching we are in trouble .

Benji and Bateman pissing off overseas last week is not a professional preparation and screams no commitment, the end result is 74 blot
