Where are all the fair weather fans.

So what the OP is asking people to either post what he wants to hear , wants people to lie about what they think or not post at all

We played 1000% better than our last trial game and have improved our defence out of sight

We are struggling to put points on the board , but if we defend like that every week we won't need to score too many points

Getting back to yesterday , I can't remember seeing this too often but Twal must have been called offside when Ferguson made that big break in the 2nd half

Can't believe he let him past

You are correct. There was an offside call.

Far from it mate what im saying is stop writing a team off before they havr even had a game especially when its your so called team. Happy for people to say we lack talent etc but for people to say we will struggle to win a game all year or rag on all our players makes me question if they are truely tigers fans or just need to [This word has been automatically removed] to make themselves feel better.

Cleary proved in the last half of the year that he had a structure and ideology that would work with the right cattle. You and quite a few others have not given him a chance to make his stamp on the team. Instead whinging aboit every possible thing. By all means be critical but dont be afraid to drop the odd positive to change it up

Exactly, you make the tackle regardless. Hope that he has learnt his lesson and will latch his arms on the player instead of throwing them in the air next time.

Hooper saying how much he loves the tigers on MMM :bash

Hooper can get fudged! Where was his support last year? All he did was stick the boot in . And before you reply that he has to be impartial- listen to Buderus’ commentary in the Knights vs Manly game - jeez!!

Just remember many of us have been involved with either Wests, Balmain or the WT's and have followed these clubs for 40 years plus and have seen our club almost become extinct

The club I supported for 20 years and eventually played for 3 years in Brisbane is extinct

We are heading in the right direction , but we have taken so many detours off the right path in all those years

Are we heading towards a revival , yes I hope and pray every day we are , but like so many more we have been burnt

I'll leave it at that , but you don't support a club like Wests or the Wt's for that amount of time if you don't love your club , we just yearn success not for us but our kids .

Exactly. He was right up the big three's backside all year. He can go be a dog, a foghorn or a slimey fart.
 
I bought my Grand Final tickets on the back of victory …

Is the WCC in Australia or England next year...cause the earlier you book the cheaper the flights..

Go Wests Tigers
 
Im happy to start forming a judgement about round 6 or 7\. By then we'll have a clearer understanding on how they have gelled together.

What a win

The boys worked the asses off and played some great footy. to many players to mention.

But wait where are all our 'fans' that tipped we'd get a hiding…. That we didn't have enough talent.

For those that didnt write us off before round one here is your reward

Up the Tiges

X2
 
Like last week I gave us no chance for the same reasons, lack of pace, lack of goal kicker and lack of the X factor and again I stress that dosnt make me a fair weather supporter.

Anyway I was wrong again, but as another poster said I will wait till about round 8 before I start making a call on 2018\. Believe it or not but its a big advantage playing the top teams early
 
I like to think I'm a fairly balanced supporter… I think I can tend to go a bit overboard and negative when things aren't good with the team... But also give credit when it's due as well.
We seem to have groups of fans that are quite extreme though positively or negatively... Happy clappers and doomsayers... From my pov it seems those on the negative side are more vocal and around more than those positive ones... Might be wrong.
Both groups have those who love to be right... The "I told you so's".
What does annoy me though it appears to be only the happy clappers telling the negative Nigel's to go support another team in times such as this.
To them I say... Take a long walk off a short pier. You're no better than any other fan

I understand your thoughts but so many supporters have had a crack at 'our team' without even giving them a chance. Peoplehave knocked ivan, got stuck into benji, bagged this and that player without even seeing how we go.
Truth is we look ordinary offensively but i have never seen this kind of effort defensively. I just want us to get behind the boys. Be critical by all means but dont bag blokes that don the jersey and try
 
I havent seen many getting into Benjii or knocking Ivan,
most of us have been pleasantly surprised at how well we have defended in the first rounds,
Yes, we have problems scoring, but at least we have been able to keep the score against us low as well.
Were doing better than I thought we could., but we cant get by on defense for too long Just enjoy whats happening now,
Thinking ahead is not always a good thing.
