I went to the game yesterday...I kept going on to the missus about this probably being the last game I'd see at Leichhardt, drove two odd hours and I ask for what.
The Panthers were more pumped running onto the field yesterday than we were, I could hear Soward from where I was. Anyway, I can put the result down to a lot of things but from what I saw Gavin Badger is a goose. I am certainly not blaming him for the loss, far from it, but every mistake he and his off-siders made, it seem to lead to a try by the Panthers.
So, if Badger is a goose, I don't know what the f#$k I can call Taylor. His decision to put Lovett at centre was deplorable. Who was it that said something about doing the same thing time after time and expecting a different result....f#$k me.
I have some real problems with Brooks and Moses. If we have paid the amounts rumoured well, we deserve the situation we find ourselves in. Soward and Wallace are old hands and better then many in the comp but geezus, between ours and theirs, it is light years.
The thing that upset me most was the crowd came, same as me, expecting more from the players (and coach) and we just didn't get it. I think there was a point they just gave up yesterday and while I'll continue cheering for the Wests Tigers I lost a lot of respect for them on that performance....
