Your Team Vs Rabbits

[the_third]


we already run at 50% at Leichhardt don't we? 9K crowds all year

 

[the_third]

Tuesday's no fun without a team announcement.

We the best thing about this weekend is that we can't lose
That's the upside
The downside is there is always next week

I hate bye weeks

at least we get 2 points

 

[cochise]

I won’t be going to the game and I have a membership ticket out of protest to their disgraceful performance

Also lol ofa axed from soo so wests tigers

I haven’t used my tickets this year Tony, no motivation to give up an afternoon/evening for these duds. I think more members need to start to do the same, we deserve much better.

So when the club is struggling and needs it most is when you decide to take your support away? I won't be doing the same.

Each to their own. I’m still paying the money but why should I put in the effort when I don’t see the same from the organisation. It’s a four hour round trip and I’ve had way too many miserable drives home over the last decade.

Edit: hats off to you troopers who love the punishment

:+1: :+1: :+1:

the thing is every so often you get a magical night, like against the panthers at LO, and it doesn't matter how we are playing for one glorious night we are amazing, and the crowd gets pumping and you realize how good it is.....

but like I said, it's for one night only

Exactly, in a season like this I just treat each game as its own individual event with its own possibilities for misery, anger, joy, heart break, elation, love and despair. They are the things I love about Rugby League.

It’s a bye weekend for all teams. I don’t think two points are awarded in that instance.

Correct, there is no round of footy this week.

Wests Tigers obviously cant go any lower than we are now,
so we can look forward to those "glorious nights" more often in the near future.

I don’t think we’ve hit rock bottom until the board/CEO are removed. Same nuffies making all the bad decisions.

Wouldn't it be absolutely awesome to be able to be a fly on the wall at our Board meetings to actually know how the Board operates.
I wonder if a spy camera small enough to be fitted to a fly has been developed yet?
But I reckon Our Board has done a pretty good job for Wests Tigers to become the Club we are today, and We are only going to get better.

When we consider the turmoil We have been through that no other club has had to endure... starting with the in fighting between Balmain Tigers and Wests Magpies...Balmain going broke due largely to Back Door Benny...the obvious but understandable resentment from many Balmain fans due to Wests Ashfield [Magpies] owning Our Club...the Jason Taylor and Robbie Farah affair etc etc etc .

As we know Wests Magpies Legend Mike Bailey has recently passed, so that leaves the door open for a top notch knowledgeable Sports Admin person to come on to Our Board, which can only make things that much better again.

I wont say any more as I just realised I am a bit off track with the main theme.

Mike Bailey wasn't a current Wests Tigers Board Member

WOW!!! I've never heard anyone describe the joy of Rugba League in such a heartfelt and passionate way :+1:

Ahh that's round 17 Im thinking of.

Have to say I hardly watch/read as much as I used to about football these days. Certainly didn't care at all about Origin last time, and probably less this time around.

I have often wondered how our Board Meetings go, hope there’s a bit more passion in there than we put out on the Sunny Coast.

3. Talau
4. Pauga - debut
5. Maumalo
6. Douehi (c)
7. Brooks

A bit early for this sort of thing IMO, we are still in he hunt.

We are only 4 pts out of the 8 with a bye in hand.

These 4 games, Panthers, Parra, Storm & Souths, were never going to be easy and I'm sure a lot of ppl thought we would 0-4?

Hopefully a bit of bounce back against Rabbits and we are back on track? Anything can happen?

[jrtiger]

TLT today. given how frustrated everyone was with the result, are we going to see any major changes come 4pm today?

 

[avocadoontoast]

I'm not sure what he'll pick but Talau, Nofo, Roberts, Tamou, Leilua, Liddle and Mbye don't deserve to be selected after their performance last game. Dreadful.

Time for some fresh faces

 

[TigerVinnie]

Issue is the centre selections - tbh dont care who gets picked in our other positions it's here that we are severely lacking talent in.

Talau can't catch a pass, too many errors in his game + doesn't know how to pass.

Roberts, can't defend + doesn't know how to pass.

AD gets one spot but I worry for the side either of the above two slot into.

 

[jrtiger]

1 Laurie
2 Roberts
3 Doueihi
4 Pauga/Cooper
5 Maumalo
6 M'Bye
7 Brooks
8 Tamou

12 Blore
13 Seyfarth

14 Ofahengaue
15 Utoikamanu
16 Amone
17 Tuilagi

start Tuilagi and bring Tuki Simpkins onto the bench if Blore is injured. M'Bye will keep his spot whether we like it or not. Roberts was horrendous in the centres but anything's better than Nofo on that wing right now. Luciano isn't up to it from a defensive point of view.
