Your most unpopular opinion about WESTS TIGERS

[Tigerpete]

This is a fairly interesting read. To be honest too, I don't disagree with much that's been said too. However I do feel that whilst Sirro is "overrated", i'd prefer we termed it "overhyped". I do think he's a quality player in the making.

I also agree with the post regarding Liam Fulton. He's a great club man, does all the little things and is one of those key personnel type players that good sides do need. However resigning him for 3 years seems a bit much. Especially with a young and talented crop of players coming through. I would've only extended till end of 2014.

People complaining that the opposition is going to target Utai EVERY single time he's named on the wing. Can anyone remember a game where he had an absolute shocker dropping bombs and letting in tries left right and centre? i can't. Teams hardly even target him, its a myth

This. is. Great

Grinds me in all the wrong places when I hear that. All people focus on is everyone's negative features, what about all of Utai's good ones? Running the ball hard and straight, busting tackles, scores on most opportunities given.

I have several unpopular opinions.

I hate the Western Suburbs stuff and the Balmain Tigers stuff. We are a different team!

Also, we did not fluke 2005\. You cannot win a premiership in First Grade and have it be a fluke. Simple. Generally you deserve to be in the top 2 or 3 and luck plays its part. It's not like we drifted along running 8th and then suddenly won.

Hope you are joking..have a look at the replays of the last 6 games last year, especially the roosters, and see what happened. Have a look at the first game this year. Same result. Whilst I applaud his kick returns there is no way these make up for the tries he has cost us in the air, dropped balls in our 20 on kick returns and defensive incapabilities.

Not as unpopular as I would have thought, but Robbies brilliance as an individual often hamstrings us as a squad. Maybe Cam Smith has it easy with Cronk in his ear directing, who knows, but Robbie has hurt us alot of games playing the pigs around the markers for the entire 80 mins, and puts benji under pressure after the fact by giving him opportunities with the ball for only the last 2-3 tackles, not that I think he could do much better at present.

More balls through the hands, a standard halves game, would allow more choice when to play their hand when the opportunities arise. For the moment we seem very forced. Farah seems to always revert to Benji's side at the back of sets also making us predictable.

If he is going to play as a hooker who calls the shots, he has to also be accountable for his decisions, even if he didnt like/prefer Miller, at least utilise him to sell a bit of indecision.
