Wests Tigers v Manly Rd 14 *Spoilers

[Tiger Woods]

The only positive is this is the team that Madge picked before he got sacked right ?
Sooo noddy will finally pick his Side next Tuesday right ?
🤣

 

[Stevec]

Some stats Aloaoi 207 m vs Tamou 49 m
Olakau,tau 163m vs Luciano 68m .these players were in same positions

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Hastings is massively overrated. Does everything way too slow and has no creativity. The only thing he brings is a voice

isnt he playing injured ???

 

[earl]

But 3 tries straight down the middle unacceptable our big forwards and markers can't play 80 mins

Aloiai was a gun when he was with us and we just let him walk.

 

[pedrolaurie]

That was pathetic. You're telling me these idiots get paid to play football?

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

he wanted out and his attitude sucked
we should of kicked lucy out too

 

[Telltails]

Hastings played alright in the first half we looked likely plenty of times. Second half no half could play well behind our pack. They were truly woeful. Joe O and Twal a pass.

 

[Speed2burn]

Laurie getting out played by Garrick

Garrick is a handy fullback tbh

Would sign him in a heartbeat to play there

True

Good test of our no 6 and no 7 How many repeat sets did we get ? Zero

It might not have been pretty but it was only 6-4 Manly’s way before brooks switched to #9 and madden went to 6. I think that experiment should be done and dusted forever

Funny that Liddle seems really missed by his absence the last few weeks. Gives the halvrs time and structure was strong in defense and won 2 penalties for us.

Even when we beat the Dogs we went downhill when he came off.

I don't know how many guys are carrying injuries because these SH capitulations seem to hint at that.

Someone mentioned Aloai. He couldn't hold the ball with us.

And Stefano was signed to provide that big body muscle up front that Manly showed...but sadly not putting in when playing.

Seyfarth looks to have lost confidence and mongrel. Has been shunted around technically this year and isn't experienced enough to handle it. Guys like him need to be developed with a clear focus.

 

[oldschooltiger]

How did Madden go?

 

[jadtiger]

How did Madden go?

One of the worst but hardly a shock considering most of the pigs were spectators not players

 

[426Tlgerland]

Yep that tends to happen when you start playing for the Wests Tigers. Start well, then slowly but surely, you start playing to the WT standard.

I saw that as the turning point of the game. I thought we had the best of the first 50min with our left hand side constantly creating trouble for Manly. We completely weakened that side with both attack and defence after the change.

I thought that was outlawed at our club.

F me.
If you couldn’t see that our forwards can’t play to NRL level standard when we were blown away by Souths reserve pack surely you’d get the picture after that game.
The answer get rid of the one character that shows a backbone, the will and desire to turn the club around.
Oh and great to see Sheens finally showing up to do his Head of football role sitting in the box for the first time this year.

If you think this is Madge "The answer get rid of the one character that shows a backbone, the will and desire to turn the club around." forget it.

2022 = 2021. The only thing that improved was Hastings adding structure to our attack.
What did Madge change? Nothing. Not a thing.
Oh but he is trying, ... It's not working! 2023 will be the same soft defense and more walking back.

I was hoping with Cayless we would see our team try at defense. All I have seen is Garner and Thomas M leave...

Many coaches have tried really hard. I would take Dean Pay, Paul McGregor even Rick Stone (thinking people who tried hard and got fired). All improved their teams substantially more then Madge has here. Wait there is a guy called Shane Flanagan who tried hard and took Cronulla from 16 -> 1.

Madge was trying, sure. It wasn't working.
