You can't imagine

that any team that is within reach of playing finals (after 10 years) wouldn't give 100% to be there, if not for the season then certainly for the fans. Yet, in this world of professional athletes, it seems that simply turning up, for this team, is all that is required. Win or lose makes no difference. I see this now embedded in this club, and to some extent, see us fans resigned to the mediocrity. To the extent that we can have a laugh about playing the Panthers next week, it goes to show just how low we've sunk. If I look at the ratio of value of footballers to what is been dished out, on the field, I think this would have to be one of the poorest teams we've had since the merger..

Rant over.

Players just not willing to play for the jersey.

How are these average players coming through the system and being picked for first grade? Like how are our juniors so average? It's been very disheartening seeing the lack of talent coming from our junior development. There is no top 8 next year for this current crop and there needs to be an influx of talent from somewhere.

This is clearly our worst season... Not only ladder standing but overall attitude, the quality or lack of....enterpsising football, defense or lack of... Aaah could go on and on this pathetic mob not worth it

It was a false dawn as basically all sides from 5 down are ordinary.. the gulf between the elite teams have never been wider apart from Melbourne and Penrith have massive question marks Roosters are injury struck Souffs are downhill skiers and Manly splutter minus a Turbo..

The rest come down to whoever doesn’t fall over in the race to the Bradbury 8..

We fell on lap 1 of the race

We will beat Panthers next week then get flogged by the bulldogs the week after.

Sad to say we won't beat Panthers next week. They will be out for revenge after round 13. Could be another Melbourne game.

Not feeling good about next year. Pre season historically doesn’t seem to yield any improvement and we are heading in with the same squad less a couple of our cap thieves.

Scrappy wins over strugglers like us. The reality was on show today.

All my family are just at a loss to make any sense of what’s happened over the past 3 seasons … we put the hard yards into supporting the club at ever level no questions asked .
But I must say after decades of support the questions are being asked , having 12 memberships between us we are asking the questions about continuing with our support as we are now feeling the club needs to change its direction .
As just putting there hand out every season is wearing thin , obviously over the coming months we will decide but the club needs to show they are serious in there endeavours as this mediocrity has to end !

Extra punishment for tigers will be the sharks singing the team song in front of their faces on the flight back from hell
I wouldn’t be surprised to hear on the news tomorrow that there was an all in brawl on the flight with the sharks players or even in fighting between the tigers players 😂

 

[Aceshigh]

Bot a chance mate , there is no fight in this tigers team

Some of them ( Mbye , Lucy etc) will more likely join in singing with the Sharkies

But don’t you dare question the coaching …..

We might be able to add a couple of players that other clubs are looking to get rid of and no-one else wants

Would have been a good year to give it a crack if we had of got our stuff organised.
Raiders were meant to be a force, parra choking. Roosters injured. Only Melbourne and Penrith and souths are the standouts. And anyone is beatable in the day, especially in the finals.
Something about this year makes it seem like more of a wasted opportunity.

I doubt that there would be anything happening on the plane. There is no fight in our players at all.

Seeing wingers pour through the middle of our ruck was disgraceful
