2022 R23 Sat - Sydney 72-6 Wests Tigers @ SCG

[horrie hastings]

James Tamou was a fraud when he played for Penrith, his standards have slipped even lower since joining the Tigers.

 

[horrie hastings]

Love it

Kayo Mini replay should go for 70 minutes, I reckon

Tigers have gone backwards since sacking Madge

 

[horrie hastings]

Tamou isn’t wrong.

Cummins is f**king incompetent.

NRL refs are trash and absolutely ref the bottom 8 differently.

Tamou should look in the mirror, he is just as incompetent a footballer as Cummings is an incompetent ref.

 

[Gallen Towers]

Now we know that Maguire was actually a good coach who was stymied by the utter incompetence of the Tigers club.

 

[King hit]

The Roosters played outstandingly well but that Tigers performance was a total disgrace. Not first grade quality at all they should be ashamed of that and should apologise to their fans. Who knows if Tim Sheens can make a positive impact next year. One of their best players is leaving as well (Garner)

The sad thing is that I really want to see the Tigers strong again. Have nostalgia for their 2005 premiership along with Benji at his best. Their 2010-11 were very good teams who got unlucky.

any bandwagon fans who jumped on the tigers after 2005 are well and truly being punished at this point

Jesus Christ. Are you that old bloke who yelled at me on the tram one day that someone was rude to him in Sydney when he was visiting in 1962 and he'd never been back since?

Lol f**k Melbourne and Victoria, biggest narcissist of a place I've ever been in by far. A Melbourne family once told that the beaches in Victoria looked better then Noosa and Queensland in general. They copped a huge serve from me.

Yeah, Channel Nine have confirmed on their blog for tonight that the second word was "Incompetent" (source: https://wwos.nine.com.au/nrl/live-s...torm-s-munster-inaction-baffles-legend_200822) -

Could have been incontinent.

The trick is not to engage in debates like that. Laugh at them and respond with "if that's what you like, ok.". Another example of the weird hubris they have is the 'National' gallery of Victoria. (Which I had to sadly inform a Victorian was incorrect as Victoria is not a nation)

Also ended up laughing at another one who in the same conversation criticised Sydney because they got lost there because the train lines have different names (they should be the same as Melbourne?) And that Federation square (has interesting stuff there, sure - looks like a shed built by drunk gorillas with rescued materials from a demolition) was more beautiful and iconic that the Sydney Opera house....

I'm honestly not making this up.

They're long gone, mate

 

[Pantherjim.]

Or maybe just focus on the fact that you got smacked 60-12 last night? And your team think they are doing anything more than making up the numbers?

Yeah, Nah. I agree with @SLRBRONCOS.

You’ve been in the competition for almost a quarter of a century, you’ve won 4 premierships in that time - (Would’ve won more than that if you hadn’t been caught cheating your arses off) - yet you’ve still failed to convince many Melburnians to switch codes?

Will be interesting to see how many Melburnians actually turn up to this game, but unless a sellout, I concur

True as that may be, the NRL refs do not do a good job. True as it may be that players and coaches are trash, the refs continually adjudicate the game differently and constantly make crucial errors. Don’t get me wrong, the WT have had a terrible season, of their own making. But the standard of reffing is abominable.

I think Tamou knows what he’s talking about. He blatantly milked a penalty early in the game which Cummins lapped up.

There are probably better times to air that grievance than when you are down by 60

Oh i totally agree, the standards of refs is appalling, you dont mind refs making an honest mistake but the standard is beyond appalling, it is turning more and more people away from the game. If the refs were up here in Darwin I reckon they would be fed to the crocodiles.

True.

The shame of it all is, Roosters troweled Wests and once again, the talk is about refs. The irony of Tamou’s outburst is not lost on me either. And the result wasn’t in isolation for Saturday. All three games were spankings - 5 of 6 for the weekend actually. NRL has a lot to deal with, with weak ckubs, refs and everything else.
anyway. I’m veering in to Tin hat territory.
