Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Manly @ 4 Pines Park, Brookvale / Cammeraygal

[Tigers Tale 2.0]

But we knew it was bound to happen. A rookie coach, who hasn’t coached at any form of elite level, and is adored by the fans, was only ever a distraction orchestrated by the previous administration to hide their incompetence.

So true...ask yourself this, where would Bellamy have this team on the table?

I won’t get back the 2 punishing hrs last nite m& 100’s of hrs over the last decade spent watching this egregiously shithouse team display such appalling mediocrity.We were so bad & the disconcerting fact is manly were also so bad they wouldn’t have beaten any other team.How the fk do these impostors make it to the NRL when they r incapable of grasping the fundamentals of defence.Our defence out wide is unfknforgiveably Nofaesque.Ive had it with this disgraceful organisation & was looking forward to going to the 8th for the tits & cows games which are likely our only winnable games remaining this season but while I still have a little sanity this club from the board to the players can well & truly go to hell.Mad monday for these fraudsters can’t come quick enough.

He would put the necessary starch into the spine of this soft cocked rabble to ensure they play sept footy

When Taylan arrives and we get our missing spine back and our mojo, then you Benji doubters can crawl back under your rocks.

The balloon in our football had sadly popped from the Galvin situation onwards......the second game against Parra was the day our balloon popped on the field. We have steadily fallen away from that game onwards.
I had hoped that Galvin leaving would "galvinize" the team, but it clearly hasn't.
Tonight may not have been our biggest beating, but it was overall one of our worst performances. They played like individuals tonight. They clearly looked un-coached and that is clearly on the coaching staff.
Yes, we have improved overall from previous years. But, from that second Parra game onwards, the team has delivered some pretty sad performances. Management will never come out and say it (nor should they) but Benji should really be on the hot seat now. We have improved, but since the Parra game, those games should not be enough to save his job. If we finish last or second-last, he really has to go.

No spine and not a lot to choose from. close games that could have been won if Luai didn’t think he had diplomatic immunity. including against the current top team, Taylan coming, Fainu and Luai yet to have time together
Ahh it’s not the time to give up just yet.. Soon, but not yet ..

This highlights the issue to me. We have had a quality team on the park for most of the season and we aren't winning enough games.

I think upgrading AD in the centres and Seyfarth in the edge back row position gives us a significantly better team. Those two were our best last night though.

Bellamy wouldn't have this team, maybe 3 players tops

Putting in a shift every week, maybe not winning that many more games but the quality of footy would be significantly higher.

The injury front is going to test our depth.
Bula out.
Luai unavailable if selected for SOO.
Api out.

From having " the best spine in the comp" we might have none of them playing for us next week.

We've played 15 games for 5 wins and 10 losses. The spine haven't performed up to that level.

How do you guys think they've performed:-

1. Bula - I reckon a 6 out of 10. Plenty of good signs but he hasn't done anywhere near enough over the course of the season. Does he have the ability to step up and become an elite level player ?
2. Api - I reckon a 6 out of 10. Plenty of good signs as well but he hasn't done anywhere near enough over the course of the season. Is he getting old ?
3. Luai - I reckon a 6 out of 10. I'm starting to really like him. He goes hard and he can play. I think he didn't do anywhere near enough at the start of the season and figuring out how he was going to play within the team and with Galvin was a big ask.
4. Galvin - I reckon a 2 out of 10. I thought he was shit and I think the team will improve without him.

You can add these two to that list:-

1. Latu - I thought he was decent against Manly but that was a better performance than any performance Galvin put in for us. I think he should be playing 7 for a while.
2. Douiehi - he was great last week and he was good in the trials. He hasn't had a good season but he hasn't been puss so he has in my opinion performed above expectations. I think he fits the utility player role well in a team and is a great back-up in the halves or the centres. Maybe he could even play some lock.

Say what you want but Madge had this club on the right path until Marshall had a spit about him going hard on them at half time in that game Vs. Warriors (I think it was) at the SCG.

The other thing that erkks me about this is club is how we are still clinging on to 2005. Their Facebook page recently has been all about 2005 this, 2005 that. It’s the only thing this club can hang on to.

We don’t have a half back. We haven’t had a half back since Robert Lui.
