Wests Tigers poor last round record

[Tom Shines]

I don’t think Benji gave too much of a shit himself about losing spoonbowl. He certainly didn’t seem to in the post match presser.

That’s probably gunna go down as the turning point in his coaching career …Benji got that one wrong .. telling the “players to enjoy themselves “… it was also the game where Richo blasted the players on the sideline for laughing…he was fuming ..

I suspect Richo probably gave it to Benji after that game… and he looks to have taken it on board … army camp in pre season … tougher mental attitudes instilled in the players particularly on their defence pretty much all season bar 2-3 games … the inverse of what we usually see with them only putting in 2 or 3 teams a year … I’ve bagged him when the team has been poor … but I think I’ve got to say this past 6-7 weeks is the best the team has looked in a decade … Taylan May has helped a lot … but I’ll give the coach a bit of credit for that too..

Personally I think winning or losing v the Titans will be the difference between an acceptable season or an unacceptable season
If we finish above 13th we have done ok ....if not Benji has 13 rounds next year to step up

The Tits played well at times against the Phins; there is plenty of talent in the team and they have a lot to play for this weekend at their home ground. I'm sure Benji will not make the same mistake this week as he did in spoon bowl.

If we play with the intent we win this.

What mistake did Benji make in the spoon bowl?

I was sitting right across the aisle from Richo at the spoon bowl. It was obvious how angry he was. I thanked him afterwards for all he'd done for the club.

Probably not having any training that week, well at least that’s how it looked.🤣
Richo( and the rest of us) were angry coz we were embarrassed ! Our team failed to turn up, mentally or physically !
Let’s see what Benji and the team have learnt on Saturday.

this year just smells different..
high scoring game...
Tigers win 13+

 

[Tucker]

I'd say NQ and Raiders are.

But it's possible we have another 1 or 2.

Warriors man…we haven’t beaten them in ages….2019. Lost 9 games in a row.

The best we can hope for is 14 losses for the year from 24 games.
That’s not acceptable for mine.

If we finish in 11th it will be close to my expectation at the start of the season of finishing around 10th.

Any lower than that to me will be a disappointment, we need to win and win well against the Titans for it to be acceptable.

I am fully prepared for disappointment.

Old man Foran .., always plays well against us even if he is 40

His playmaking is a level above both our halves.
Hasn’t got the legs but his brain is sharp as a tack still.

 

[Tom Shines]

Looking like the attacking coach has still got some work to do

Should bring him in as an assistant next year

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Should bring him in as an assistant next year

He has a coaching gig at the Titans next season

 

[Demps]

He'll do well.

Good guy.

So does that bloody fullback Brimson.
Never fails scoring at least one, today he made it two.

 

[innsaneink]

What a fkn disgrace conceding 36 against the spooners...probably for the best a win just papers over the cracks

Yeah agree ..there is a long list that enjoy coming up against the Tigers…

Call me crazy …but that Titans team is a good team … there is no way they should be in a spoon battle

 

[Halbrowne61]

Amen. And the tackling coach as well, I think it ended up 43 to us. Yuk !

They have some great talent there but are a poor team all up though.
Very dumb team actually. They butcher a hell of a lot of tries. They make far far too many errors.
Must be very frustrating to support them.
