Another Pathetic Game vs Manly

Here we go again. Pathetic 2nd half- I cant bear to see the final 15 minutes. Bring in the broom..................

This was always going to be a tough match, le's face it, once we had to do everything right to win. We didn't. They got lucky with calls, we spilled the ball or didn't back ourselves, and we don't have a forward pack to give us a roll on. It will need to be a big broom.

as an outsider looking in ... your coach is an idiot... as soon as laurie went off you were gone... commentators said he is only averaging 22 minutes... sheens needs to keep him on... he is a massive talent.

John Morris said in the post match interview lack of effort and some handling errors were what let them down.

Even the optimists would have to agree we cannot make the finals now. But for the seasons to come, where to now?

Sheens should make some radical changes for next week. Not to win, just to explore options for next season. Changes through gameplan and/or players against the Sharks.

No pride, no ticker, no courage....teams running on empty
Yes exactly ....plus
Hmmmm Now where do i start.
My biggest disapointment is that we cant even attack anymore!!! At our worst we could still provide some of the NRL's most lethal attack to at least be competitive in the score line and provide the fans with something. But we cant tackle for sh*te and Now we cant Attack for sh*te. Ohh f**k it i cant be bothered writing anymore,they dont care and neither i.:x

Yep attack has been shot to pieces.

Our backline movements always get chopped down before the hit our key players (Lawrence, Collis). Alternatively when it looks like we have a chance on the outside, for some reason someone chooses to hog it and take it themself, or cut back inside.

The reason the backline is always chopped down is because our forwards never get the opposition on the back foot, so they can always easily get in our face and slide well.

I took my 6 year old nephew to tonights game, he was born in Ryde but now lives in the Manly area. We took the oppourtunity to cover him in tigers gear.( flag,shirt ,skarf etc) and he was going tigers crazy, anyway after the game in which he didnt really watch to much of as he seemed to be looking at everything else going on around him, he said (honest to god) without any pronpting" tigers are losers, im going for panthers" lol smart kid, took me 30 years to work out what took him 80 mins.

OK ..i can guess who the hog is,, and as far as the forwards go we have 2 problems there 1. is that when we do make good ground we screw around and dont fight to get up for a quick play the ball. Or 2. The ref lets the opposition have a dominate tackle every ruck because they man handle us in the tackle. Either way ,if we fight to win the ruck we wil get the the speed or the penalty.

Was surprised how poor you guys were last night. I actually backed the Tigers to make the 8 pre season, so expected a lot more

Sunday Footy Show have said that Farah's ankle swelled up badly last night and his season is over
