Sure we were missing some quality players but no excuses we should learn to play wet weather footy, but they don't learn! The Tigers dominated us physically and we had terrible hands. As embarrassing as it is to be the first team to lose to them in 9 months, we were honestly lucky to lose only by 4...

Forget any talk of a three peat, the class of 2021-22 has well and truly been diminished and those expectations are unhelpful. Certain players need to fix their attitude and attention to detail or we will struggle to even make the 8.

Yeah I’m not writing us off, the defence is still there and put Martin and JFH back in and it’s noticeably better for enthusiasm and aggression. It’s a question of if we can get our attack together, and it not raining September-October.

Same shit from you each week. You’ve been picked apart and will continue to be picked apart by other teams until you are nothing other than a a top 8 hopeful. Welcome to the salary cap NRL.

Hope ‘20, ‘21 & ‘22 bought you a lot of happiness.

Congrats Tigpies fans. The Hunger to win this one was obvious and your boys definitely turned up in spades for it.

No one to blame for this loss but ourselves, and there’s plenty of soul searching to do. Handling errors on our part were diabolical and for a back- to-back premiership winning team like ours, wet weather is absolutely no excuse.

With this performance, We will be lucky to make the the top four this year, and I sincerely doubt that a threepeat is a possibility, albeit, I live in hope…
