When or What makes this season unacceptable

[happy_tiger]

Too many Pink Floyd fans ......being Comfortably Numb is acceptable musically .....not as a rugby league fan

Cmon WT's fans ...find some fight .....don't accept mediocrity anymore ...if it is crap yell it from the rooftops

@happy_tiger How does this help ?

@happy_tiger How does this help ?

Well Earl in my experiences when you make corporates accountable they tend to take it to heart

Look even the Banks are trying to make amends .....slowly

The fans need to make every step of this club accountable .......what are the Roosters doing we aren't doing .....what does Bellamy do that makes his club get up for every week ........

I tell you what Bellamy does ......he makes you accountable for you ......after a video session you get a pass or fail from yourself , the players and the coaches

If you get a fail you have let the team down .......when you realize YOU have let YOUR teammates down you have this tendency to have it happen as few times as possible

People don't want to let their mates , family , workplace down

If the WT's get 30 000 emails every week from fans telling them they failed us again this week it might make a difference

But after reading the comments we could get lapped by 50 and some would still give us a pass

Never stop fighting the fight ......tell your club what you expect ......make them accountable

Most people not assocuated wuth the tigers think Madge gas done a great job to get thus roster in contention. Many saw it as similar to titans ans dogs

Bit early to be hitting the bottle champ.

Like I said before you can only squeeze so much juice out of an orange (or lemon). The law of physics also applies to Wests Tigers. Blaming the coach etc is not going to help. "Ask not what your team can do for you but what you can do for your team". Stop being negative is a very good start.

 

[gallagher]

Is it the same fans who said last year was acceptable saying the same about this year?
At some stage the club needs to improve but that hasn't happened since the independent board and Pascoe have come onboard. We havnt progressed.

We allowed another season to slide....

The only negative is our performances and our record

8 years without semis .......worst in NRL

42% win record since our inception ........worst in NRL

Most coaches since 2013........worst in NRL

Least amount of SOO players produced of the Australian based sides.....worst in NRL

Anything we are even Top 4 or even Top 8 at bar plodders and plodding performances

Seriously WT's fans .....grow some huevos

Which Pascoe PROMISED wouldn't happen anymore ........ask Taylor

@happy_tiger - in my experience the best way to fail is to compare yourself to others who are percieved to have more with unrealistic expectations, instead of addressing and working on your own strengths and weaknesses, which I hope Maguire is doing.
That is by no means accepting that what your doing is good enough.

I'm going to go with the club that has a win % about 23 % higher than ours in the Bellamy era

I know I will hear how they cheated the cap ......well they have been just as successful side since the cap issues

@Telltails To be frank I am over the whole saga of the petty squabbles about which ground . The club needs to select one home ground and as I have said there will be supporters not happy about any decision made . If for instance the club choices one of the suburban grounds our family will be ok with that , we will be disappointed and will no longer be members but in saying that at least the club will have a home ground and that is not a bad thing . On Pascoe let’s not get carried away he also brought us the BUS remember and has caused the club damage with his need to accommodate Farah ! All talk still on the COE seen nothing yet that even resembles any movement.

I think we have surpassed the expectations of a lot of doom and gloomers who early in the season thought we were the worst team in the comp and would not be convinced otherwise. Considering we are still in finals contention, I guess that's a win.

So basically 2/3 of the season is gone now , things are looking scary

Madges 1st season of course and he doesn't have his own roster

So what do you class as an unacceptable season

For me it's Top 12 , we miss that and EVERY one must come under serious scrutiny , even Madge

Am I being too harsh or am I right .....every season missing the Top 8 and someone needs to pay

Morning Mr Negative Nellie..

To answer your question yes it's another EPIC fail for the Mighty Wests Tigers BUT IMO true success is for the team that Wins the Premiership..all the others FAILED as well just at varying degrees..people bang on about accepting mediocrity but unless you are the team that wins the whole shabang ..just making the finals and doing nothing is the same thing..

but I guess it's the World we live in today..everyone gets a ribbon..

Have a nice day..

Every club is mathematically in Finals contention

I don't know ...but many fans seem to dive deeper and deeper into that barrel of slops looking for fools gold

Lol
That’s just a cheap cop out !
Need to make the 8 to have a shot at the whole shebang ...

@happy_tiger I think that stuff happens though. I mean Madge has dropped a lot of our highly paid players. He even signed Jennings and still dropped him. He has moved Mbye to the centres and Thompson to 1. We also look like we are playing reasonable footy.

We don't have a top quality team just yet but Madge can't get players to come here for nothing. It's a moneyball or rort the cap problem rather than anything that can be easily fixed.

 

[Newtown]

The only thing of any real signifance in NRL is who won the premiership. Most supporters, unless they happened to be supporters of these following teams, couldn't remember which teams finished 5th, 6th, 7th or eight last season let alone previous seasons. The eight team semi-final format was only brought in to keep interest going during the latter part of the season. I don't really envy the team that has struggled to finish seventh or eight only to face Melbourne or roosters and then being knocked out of the finals in the first week.

@Snake - I get your frustration with this club, but still feel our biggest handbrake is our inability to assemble a decent squad since 2011.
Potter and Taylor both in my opinion had access to a far better balanced team/ squad than Maguire has, and just dont know how he can do any better with the disasterous recruitment that Cleary has left us, along with the decimation of our once strong junior system.
As for Pascoe Im really not sure what to think.
We seem to be in a more stable position off the field, but his part in the Farah debacle -innocent or not -has made it even more difficult to recruit. Should he have been held accountable for that by losing his job - depends on how much the board knows in regard to the details surrounding it.
I appreciate we ne need balanced discussion with different views so enjoy reading your input.

Pascoe and his cronies are lucky they aren’t running
a South American soccer team ...
But then again they’d always be someone like @Geo who’d be prepared to take a bullet .
