That defensive effort on Monday was woe-full!!!.
It’s first time this season I had the pleasure seeing the team play. That performance was a disgrace ... not just for this club, team and sponsors but us .... poor fans of this mob.
To mark such occasion as opening of the new stadium in front of 30,000 people and god knows what the tv audience numbers were .... with such inept, without pride and gutless performance ..... I’m just lost for words.
And you talk of defence. I don’t know how many times I was watching at least three west tigers players unsuccessfully (usually the guy would either stay upright or git the ball away) try to bring an opponent down. Comically one of ours would be on the ground trying to wrap their legs. Just amateur hour stuff. I was embarrassed to be a supporter and still am.
I can’t recall once where our forward would take on the line and successfully pass the ball to promote second phase attack. Our experienced forwards turning their back on opposition, not getting to defensive line in time.
And worst of all no pressure on Moses and Gutherson .... the only two players in that side which screamed danger.
Just where are we at?
I’m close to giving up.

Aren't you the guy on here who usually highlights all the positives about our team/club? Even debates other posters when they're making negative comments about players or the team? I might have you confused with someone else, but if not, then it looks like our woeful display has got even you wanting to give up. Wests Tigers have a way of wearing even their most positive supporters down.

That's not my quote Spud ....but they deserve a kick up the butt for that performance in any case no matter if I'm a positive Polly or negative Nelly or a fence sitting Francine

You left out peaheart .

Yes they do ( have a way of letting their supporters down)- I don't get it how can they go from being a good defensive team to what they dished up on Monday:white_frowning_face:
Quite a disgusting effort I thought- I don't think their attitude has changed from previous years although that being said there are many new faces in this team so that shouldn't be the case, maybe they just couldn't cope with that Stadium and the screaming Eels fans- interesting to see how we play there next time.
Come on pull your socks up West Tigers:rage:

I know it's not your quote Happy, I was actually quoting M&M who confirmed that he was the usually positive poster - first time I've seen such a negative post from him. You, on the other hand.....?
