When you can't manage a game

and you can't beat a team with 12 men, and you can't string 2 wins together, you've gotta be wondering if voodoo magic is the only thing left to try..Morale must be at an all time low on and off the field. I hear the fat lady has even lost her voice...Sigh!
 
When you can't draw and pass and you're playing 1st grade?

How does that happen?
 
Brooks was excellent tonight. It was not game management that let us down (and I normally hammer them for that)

It was the absolutely ZERO FOOTY IQ of a number of our players.

Honestly, a few of them don't even know how to play the game. Athleticism has got them to the NRL, and no fundamentals.

Can understand that argument fora rookie but not for so called seasoned professionals who should know by now..
 
Brooks was pretty close to perfect tonight. He played a great game.

That kid for the warriors is what top tier talent looks like. We don't have any players at that level. RTS is also top tier.

We are close to being good enough to beat the warriors but we have some players who just aren't complete first graders and they got caught out.

It shows you if the team performs that we still have plenty of improvement in us by upgrading a player or two.
 
We have no players as talented as RTS and Walsh. It's as simple as that. This is a sport after all. It's about athleticism. They don't have it, or what they have is as good as the bottom 4.

Well we pay them well enough...
 
The main problem tonight was failure to defend after making errors. Oh and not being able to take advantage of a one man advantage and letting in two tries.
 
How many points conceded in the 10 minutes up to 1/2 time with our forwards struggling and 2 fresh players sitting on the bench?

We officially have the worst defence in the comp after tonights game.

310 points in 11 games = 28pts a game.

We also have the 4th highest completion rate.

We have no resolve or ability when something goes wrong to hustle and hold strong. We don’t mark our man and have a bunch of players who aren’t up to nrl standard.

Whoever is the defensive coach should be fired.
 
Can't fault Brooksys game much today. Massive improvement.

However, we need to start a new chant

**PULL THE TRIGGER, BROOKSY**

Throw that long ball, do that short kick, do that flick pass. He can do it! I'd happily take a turnover due to him trying something new.

I know we just West’s Tigers but ...

can... he do it? How many chances does a half get to prove this? He played well tonight, but don't act like the ability to ice a play and/or game is one of his abilities. It most likely isn't.

How does that happen?

And you cannot back up, and refuse to take on the line, and think scramble defence is a kind of egg because why would you chase the ball carrier when he had passed you . Also when you are in a team that does not know how to run into the ball and when you run your own players out of room to run the ball ..... this team is horribly orgainised , they look like a reserve grade park team at times, a lot of times... it is really difficult to watch the team you love perform so poorly and in sick blatantly obvious ways!!!! Someone has to do something ,,, they have no direction at all, no mongrel, no desire... Luke Brooks is too nice a guy and Mbye is too lazy
