Wests Tigers out of people to blame..

[supercoach]

The day after SOO 2 and the Telecrap run a one page article on what a basket case the Tigers are. You would think there are better things to write about. I have not heard one bad word from anyone re Cleary yet this rubbish journo is telling us he is arrogant and over rated.

Pascoe should put a total media ban on the telecrap, okay I know the sponsor want all the media coverage they can get, but we have to black ban this media outlet.

The article is wrong! Our board would have no problems finding someone to blame. :wink:

 

[mctiger]

As soon as he said the Tigers were below the Knights, the article's credibility plummeted. We're actually a win ahead of Newcastle, but Crawley couldn't be arsed even reading this week's NRL ladder. The rest had about as much effort put in.

Agreed. We need to petition the league to stop giving points for the bye (which i believe is what happens in the SFL). It distorts the ladder.

I dont see much of these reporters you all regularly talk about except for recently on NRL 360\. They are all crazy looking little trolls lol that crawley barely looks human….

Their opinions are every bit as loopy. They all seem like union men, players do no wrong whilst all ills are produced by management and are very forgiving/supportive of the way these mongs have left the club. **They claim to feel sorry for the fans** whilst using every medium to consistently lay the boot into the club. He said absolutely nothing new in that article. Total dribbler.

And yet the fans hate their guts for continuously perpetuating this garbage. Supporters don't side with idiots who write these kinds of articles about their club, nor do they want their "sympathy". Its patronising. Do they think Tigers supporters will read this and think "good article"? They couldn't be anymore out of touch

That's the only sensible reply so far.
Everything else Crawley wrote is correct.
Time for the club to put up or shut up.

The author isnt telling us something we dont already know….he should of said the Tigers are having a massive cleanout and will be at near the top of the ladder next year as this year is already a right off with the brat brigade leaving and sorting out a horrendous cap problem....

How does he know that the players that have left wont be replaced by someone better...

1.Moses isnt as good as he and his followers think..
2.Tedesco was great for two years and has been off the boil this season and it is obvious.
3.Woods is good ..not brilliant as a prop...very ordinary captain ....

So in my opinion the WTs will be on a far better platform next season..stronger in the middle and solid in the backline...

If there is any one to blame it is the players who were holding the club to ransom for so long to get more money....simple as that...

We heard about the poor hard done players but not about their dud performances on and off the field. I could write an article blaming our poor performances on the brats that held us to ransom and what a disgrace they are to the Tigers and the game.

I think with the way things have been ck,the club is doing its best to finally have a roster clean out and clear a depressing salary cap issue that has haunted them for years…the new recruits could be the turning point for the club...we may finally start looking at finals berths with Cleary at the helm...patience is a virtue and although we have had some disappointments we must stick solid with the managements and coaches decisions...

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The last board along with Mayer were nothing short of a joke. They were solely responsible for making our cap a mess, leaving us with no choice but to take chances on bargin basement players. I fail to see how any of this can be put on Pascoe and the new board. No one is ducking accountability either. Pascoe can not be any more upfront then he has been already. But all of that is still not enough to satisfy some.

Well no the time for the club to put up or shut up was about 2007, since then it's just people trying to do their best for as long as they are given the time to do it.

After 17.5 seasons there have been enough coaches, players, managers, CEOs, recruitment guys, strength and conditioning, chairpersons, board persons go around, the only real constant are the fans and the lack of continued success.

If anyone thinks overhauling just one part of the club will do the trick, they are sadly misguided. It's been systemic.

2018 onwards will be a time where everything apart from money will have been overhauled within the last 3 seasons - roster, coach, coaching support, board, CEO, financiers - all new arrangements. You need to give the new design some time to see if it's working or not.

Sack the whole board now, remove the CEO, sure, but then we are back to square 1 in the overhaul process and you would need another 2-3 years to figure out if the new people are doing the job. Imagine walking into 2018 with a coach who's been there 10 months, half a roster that have never put on a Tigers jersey and brand new management that have no feel for the place - and then expecting results!

But truly cktiger, tell us what should be done differently at this time. What is your suggestion, your plan, apart from consistent non-constructive moaning and defiant adoration of Mitcheel Moses?

WESTS Tigers have run out of people to blame.

Similarly, the DT has run out of articles to write. Crawley wrote basically the same thing about 6 weeks ago.

[Club_Sandwich]

Get lost Crawley. Sick of these so called "journalists" regularly putting the boot into us. Can't wait until we one day wipe the smile off their smarmy faces when we start afresh next year and really rip in.

 

[tigertuff]

Is it just me or does Paul Crawly look like he has lollies in his cheeks when he talks or should I say dribbles

 

[Sco77y]

I am surprised the tele hasnt blamed WT for losing origin last night or is that Slothfields lead story tomorrow?

Haha yeah, Woods and Tedesco didn't win the game for NSW. They weren't able to do this because they are not performing at their peak. They're not performing at their peak because of the bad influence at club level at Wests Tigers, so therefore Wests Tigers are the reason NSW lost Origin 2 :smiley:

 

[Harvey]

The article is painful, but there is some truth. NRL &ISP performance can be put down to previous management and their recruitment strategies.
The failure of junior teams including Holden cup is an issue that the current management can take responsibility for. These are aged based teams with the opportunity to refresh every year.
On paper Newcastle are worse than us. In terms of competing and performance, they aren't

 

[Masterton]

"I’m still not convinced Cleary is as clever as he makes out. He’s a good football coach according to players who have worked under him. But he comes across as condescending, if not arrogant, when people outside dare question what is going wrong."

To surmise: Crawley hits up Cleary for an interview, Cleary tells him to bugger off, Crawley has a sook and rehashes as much negativity as he can muster.

I used to read the Tele from time to time. They haven't got money off me for a long time. I wonder if they realise how dumb it is for a failing organisation to alienate chunks of their readership.

 

[Tigers17]

This is written by an individual whose arse is wider than his shoulders.
I not trying to be vindictive, this is the truth.
Really…...what's he doing writing about anything that involves athletic prowess.
I would have thought a column on Sydney's best pie shops would have been something that Mr Crawley's would be more in tune with.
If you must buy a newspaper, do what I do, buy the Weekend Australian.
The Telegraph and Herald are just full of bullshit, gossip (Tele) bias (SMH).

Yeah, much as some don't want to admit it , there is a fair bit that is very accurate. As for our signings, Il be interested to see the opinions here , of some of them halfway through the season next year,
I hope I'm wrong, but I have the feeling hat we have been looking for quantity rather than Quality in most cases.
With what we have tied up so far, I can see us maybe getting off the bottom, but I doubt we'll be worrying those in the top half too much.
As I said. I hope I'm wrong,
Only time will tell

WESTS Tigers have run out of people to blame.

On the same note Paul Crawley (otherwise known as dumbarse).

I could write an article about the Daily Telecrap and why nobody reads it.

Who should be blamed for this the Management, the board or the Journalists.

No, not the journalists surely - it could not be them, they haven't got any. Any decent journalists out there are working for the SMH, The Australian and maybe Television and Radio news. The pretend ones that are left have moved in with Slothfield and our mate Crawley.

I would think the poor excuses that masquerade as journalists at the Telecrap, (should they ever be sacked), would find it difficult to even get a job at the Gilgandra Weekly.

There is no doubt, led by that poor excuse for a writer - Slothfield, who has an axe to grind and has passed it down the sewer line to Crawley to rehash more articles that were written ages ago.

It takes a journalist to go and talk to players and coaches (Oh! right, Cleary and Pascoe won't talk to you), that is ok, just rehash, make it up or better still rehash the rehash.

I look forward to the day that the circulation of hard copies and now digital displays of the Telecrap drop so low (nearly as low as your standards would be satisfactory) that you all lose your poor excuse for jobs.

Up the Mighty Tigers and down with Gutter Journalism.

Seems you have bigger vendetta against them than they have against us.
