Lol yeah this is our next 11 rounds;
Dogs Belmore
Storm AAMI Park
Broncs Suncorp
Parra Accor
BYE 1
Manly Campbelltown
Penrith Bathurst
Dragons Suncorp
Rabbits Accor
Cowboys Leichhardt
BYE 2

My prediction, we go into round 14 on 8 competition points with only 2 wins and 2 byes. f**k knows where those two wins come from though…I’m hoping for some upsets.

I’m hoping for Bateman and Wakeham.

We are truly f**ked.

We really should be 4 points up by now.

Neither Doogie nor Brooks will be replaced because neither Tim or management can admit that they simply don’t understand what it takes to be successful.

This is what happens when you have an unaccountable board, who are held there by the worst example of gerrymander in NRL history.

This is what happens when you abandon process for mateship.

The sponsors know the only one telling the truth was Western Suburbs.

Tim’s got 2 games to fix this rubbish. That’s the amount of time he gave himself a few weeks ago.

He can start his recovery by going against his judgment, because his judgment at the moment is utter garbage.
As predicted.
I don’t know why he is doing this to himself. It’s not good for the heart to stress it at his age.
Bring in Dessie and resume your role as Footy director Tim.

And the show gets worse with Muppet Benji until eternity.

Ffs we need to be privatised. I’d take Barbie dolls inc at the moment.

Action figure of steff in his double movement campervan.

it’s been bad, but now when I wear the jersey, people are grabbing their children and picking up the dog and crossing the road.
Might as well be wearing a pink shirt with an erect cock on it.

The only good thing so arising from our bad start is the continuing grief and resentment for the powers that be.

Have to agree with Dessie for coach.

We need a few home truths, a few doors ripped off their hinges.

Garrick and Shuster.

That last fifteen minutes was on Tim and he f**ked it up,

The early season ladder positions of the bottom 12 ( now 13) will get a good shuffle over the next month where it will look a lot different...always does....i still have hope for this season
Sigh

Hey all, just getting back home.

Tough game for the Knights to get the win considering, some of it HIA stuff, injuries, some of it self inflicted but showed some heart which has been sorely lacking over past seasons.

Hard luck to you guys, I thought you guys got some good opportunities but just didn't have that little bit of polish to finish the chances off.

I honestly expected Klemmer to be a bit more fiery and involved today but I hardly noticed him.

For mine Brooks isn't the answer, just doesn't take control enough and make a big enough stamp on the game to be the 7 you need.

JSaf certainly a send off. Hastings lucky not to be binned for his high shot. I did think that try from the Tigers was a double textbook double movement but it was difficult with the momentum.

Good luck with the rest of the season, West Tigers fans deserve a good season.
Now that’s a concussion

I think I'm not gonna bother watching NRL until I hear Tigers are competitive again
I think that is the best plan when it comes to looking after our mental health.
I will check the scores and only watch if they win.
Bateman should be rested for the rest of the year seeing our season is over.
Just 2 rounds to take us to the bottom of the ladder. Awesome.

I just don’t know what to make of this. We’ve bought some very good, and some pretty good players yet somehow look worse than we ever have.

For most of the decade I got angry, last year I just laughed, now I don’t know what I feel, just numb to it all I think best describes it.

Tim’s game management is rubbish. We had the extra man and draw and pass, quick play the balls and a few cut outs was all we needed.

Half the side plodding along back on side looking disinterested. Here comes a hit up and their ready.

We telegraphed just about every interesting play. Nado running inside, I understand that, but so did the knights.

And our warped sense of urgency, let’s get busy when there’s not enough time to win. That’s very last year.

And the grand finale, trusting Brooksy to pot the miracle 2 pt field goal, because we ran out of time. It was a low percentage play, with Brooks these days, it’s an impossible play. Wtf Tim?

The knights weren’t brilliant, but some of their factory players made clutch plays. I wish we could. They were smarter than us.

Tim, Benji and Robbie have 2 weeks to get the attack in order. I suppose we should be grateful we haven’t been flogged. That will be the next club spin job.

I’d rather hit the panic button now than in round 8 when the season has escaped us.

Give Brooksy an easy out and he can pretend he’s injured. Like last year.

Brooks droppy from 40 out was in fact impressive. He’s nailed those before and it could have saved him and the team. But you can’t have a halfback that plays on “auto” and can’t see or even look for plays unfolding outside him and expect to win. I mean Fk it’s hard enough winning under normal circumstances. Therefore prob for the best longer term. (We would have lost in overtime anyway.)..

Just the cumbersome way the team pass the ball through the backline is completely different from every other team I watched this weekend wtf.

Ponga could be the greatest tragedy this game has seen for while. Unfortunately he keeps forgetting his Aries Tiger beast personality doesn’t match his body..
