Maybe Moltz will get 12 mins this week and by the end of the year, he may just play a full game. What a waste of his rehabilitation.

One loss and you have written us off with every post…. comps are not won in March!
 
It seems everyone should ignore deficiencies in the team and coaching and just cheer….would make for a fun forum

Thats what really gets to me. I understand people not liking it when someone calls for a coaches head after one round, but some cant even handle looking at a loss and what went wrong. Is it un-tiger like to point out why you think we lost, and who u think would do a better job? I think not…...in fact i know its not. But the do gooders will tell u that u cant be negative in any way. I love hearing peoples views on how they think things went and what needs to be done. Sometimes i think what crap and other times i think what a good point. I just dont get all this "just shut up and cheer" attitude. BORING......lets talk footy for real, not thru rose coloured glasses.

Is that your positve spin on why Moltz is on the bench or your negative one?
 
I'm referring to anyone on here who thinks they know better than a coach who has won 4 premierships and after just one game want wholesale changes.

No one enjoys the game anymore it doesn't have to be a matter of life and death. We are the supporters but i don't see enough of it on here, i see people who just want to bag players and staff to look clever. Whats wrong with saying come on Tigers shake it off play better next time and lets get on with the game.

I was standing in line waiting to pay for my parking ticket reading the knee jerk reactions on here and it is just pitiful. Liam Fulton not big or good enough to play first grade, Robbie Farah should be dropped, Moltzen not used enough, the forwards are too small, we didn't buy big forwards or a kicker. Utter drivel.

It's just crap and i'm sick of people bagging the club and the team. We have the Telegraph and all manner of media looking to bring us down and when we should be putting our 100% support behind the club we have people on here who make Rothfield look like measured and balanced journo.
 
Obviously some assessments are over the top when emotions are running high after a loss. Its a neccessary evil i think because along with that stuff comes some very constructive critism and ideas. I dont hink theres one person on here who claims they could be a better coach than Sheens, but that doesnt mean we/they cant give an opinion on a thing or two.

U ask whats wrong with just saying "lets play better next time"…....well its boring, thats whats wrong with it. Contructive critism and hearing others ideas is what makes this place good. So some stupid ideas come through.........but they arnt stupid to those who wrote it, so who's to say who's wrong?

Shoulder injury- out indefinitely at this stage.

Decent team and one that should win, provided they turn up with the right attitude and not the pedestrian attitude they displayed against the Bulldogs. Hoping to see a much improved team performance this week.
 
I dont really think the side needs to change they just need to click into gear, show some aggression in defence and let the forwards hit the ball up instead of this crap where benji or farah dances sideways and pops it on their chest before the line and they get belted. the halves are making forwards job harder than it has to be by feeding them the ball way behind the advantage line.
Kick chase needs to improve, along with in play kicking. If we didnt hit barba we hit the dead ball line.
A few minor tweaks and all will be well in tigertown
 
alot has been written and spoken in off-season about the team.
this leads to high expectation, and when this not happening, frustration/anger creep in everywhere.
the team will bounce back, as their pride has been stung/hurt.

I'd be throwing Moltzen in 10 before halftime or for the final 30 at least.
He's worth way more than 10 at the end of the game. What impact does he have coming on when the games pretty well done and dusted..

Yeah i agree with you irontiger.

Nothing worse then loungechair critics.Its not the opinions sirro its the constant bagging of the club and coach only after a loss or if we dont make the semis.Yes we are use to success 😕
 
Not a bad team..
still not keen on the idea of Utai on the wing, but i guess he should be given another crack.
Where is brown in all of this? anyone know if he is injured or just out of favour?

The bench looks pretty solid, glad woods has been retained.
