2021 R2 Sun - Wests Tigers 6-40 Sydney @ Campbelltown

[Mr Spock!]

It's why I can't join so many Eels fans in calling for Arthur's head until there is a demonstrably better coach, because for his flaws tactically he has been excellent at doing just that. We might even be successful enough shortly to attract the genuine star we're missing....maybe.

Luke Brooks?

Someone needs to get to Madge and Hartigan. All the answers to the Tigers problems are in this thread:

‘Why don’t they just sign good players?!’

 

[Incorrect]

Every single team would struggle if you removed their first choice 7 and 1. Has nothing to do with "risk vs reward" squads like you were saying.

Not even tongue in cheek, the Tigers would be better without their 1st choice 7...

Yeah nah I feel like you've missed the point of the discussion tbh...

Jamie Lyons says hello

The same Jamie Lyon Eels fans wanted to re-sign when he used us to get more money out of Manly after coming back from England? And is now, largely, named in a lot of (modern) fans best ever sides?

Eels fans have bipolar, they don't hold onto shit like Tigers fans. Lyon was way worse than Moses BTW and mostly we're over it. It was just fun to give him shit.

Yes a 13 year old article disproves a point made about the feelings toward a player in 2021 congrats you.

thank you

Don’t make the lad wear a suit.

Was it ever defined what kind of suit he was asked to wear I wonder?

Like, could he have rocked up in a pig suit? What was Smithy gonna do, give him detention?

Imagine an eels player was offered a reasonable contract and refused to sign it for months, only to be told the contract was no longer available.

They proceeded to deliberately play so terribly that they were released early.

I'm sure you'd find that entirely acceptable?

 

[The_Frog]

they’ll do this to better teams then us in 2021

They won't do this to teams who actually, you know, tackle them.

Of course not, but I saw death threats/wishes in the Eels forum when we signed the bloke and every game day thread attracts Tigers fans abusing him, so you know finding it reasonably unacceptable isn't at all what I mean when I say Tigers hate the guy...I don't even particularly like the guy, FTR.

I have no ill will towards Ricky Stuart, who left Parra in an absolute irreparable shambles. I don't know these merkins, I just support a footy team

Those threats are definitely not acceptable.

That being said I have a firm view that his attitude at the time was awful and I can't wish him any success. Tedesco, Woods, Papunhuyzen, Addo Carr, etc? No ill will there

Sure but not wishing someone success, I'm sure you'll agree, is very different from some of the shit that gets slung his way.

He's a downhill skier (for the most part, sometimes he goes better than that) but he's been good for us and none of this overly relevant to original statement that he's 85 times the player Brooks is either.

He's a jerk, his uncle is an awful human.

Sadly that’s just the world we live in. I somehow doubt Mitch is too concerned about a few nerds behind a computer though.

I think you’ll find 95% of the shit he cops from fans in game day threads is from non tigers fans. When he played for us he copped plenty too, hes just an unlikable dude

Questions need to be asked of Madge at this stage IMO. Fair enough he doesn't have the quality on the squad to win the comp at this stage but he wa brought in to instil discipline, structure and more importantly resilience in the side and they lacked all 3 of those things today.

We were quite thin in the forwards today with our whole starting back row missing and our 2 first choice hookers out as well and that showed in the first 10 minutes when tigers made a couple of breaks and should have scored first. We held on and at the first moment of duress the tigers wilted and the game was essentially over.
