Maybe we have changed?

I don't think this will be the last time you hear this.......
“I’m sick of talking about that,” Marshall said.

I'm bored of it too.

Unfortunately we are going to keep talking about it.
If he has done a deal with another club illegally, that is a story.
If he has a poor relationship with team mates and we go on a big losing run, that’s a story.
If his manager keeps agitating for early release, that’s a story.
If he truly believes our coaching staff aren’t working, that’s a story.
and….If we galvanise and push for the finals, making them for the first time since 2011, that’s a story.
As boring as it may be, we will be in the news most weeks and must start playing a straight bat to interview questions. A simple “I don’t know” or “everything’s fine” should answer most questions about him.

The only way to stop listening to it is to walk away from it all and only turn the telly on at kickoff and turn it off at full time. Don't read anything.
Well that's hard to do when WT are one of your only interests in life

But your absolutely right Troy, it will continue and winning makes listening to it more bearable.

I hope the COE jetting off on a holiday won't result in a media pile on especially if the LG circus derails.
It's happened before with Pascoe and with Benji.
Not good timing Shano.

Wilton’s a big out for sharks, as is Iro

With the big wet the middle and early meters from the back 3 are vital, kicking game aswell. I have a bad feeling about today but we’ll know from the first few sets if the guys are switched on. To go 4-4 after the first & weeks would be a good start

Good pick ups Vic. I'm hoping for a lot lot more from Hunt today.

 

[WA Tiger]

I’m sure we are in for another hell of a surprise today.. Less pressure than last week but the boys I think have what it takes. It’s been there all year just needs to show it for the 80. win 22-20

 

[Perth Tiger]

Very apprehensive about this one. Will be very interesting if Galvin tries to control everything or looks to combine with his teammates.

Hopefully Hunt can go berserk against his old team

 

[Pezz70]

f**king typical, great first half and let one in with less than a minute on the clock. Friggin farce. They’ll get done by 20 here with this breeze. Really crucial that we’re tight the first 15 minutes of the second half

 

[Perth Tiger]

Well pretty good first half, but for shits sake how hard is it to defend the last 5 of a half.

Galvin mostly good but missed that first tackle that lead to the try and got very lucky with that terrible kick on the first tackle.

Not happy with the bench use either, thought Hunt should have been on 5 minutes earlier with the wind at our backs. TDS should of seen time that first half and although I love May, Si Finau should of come on late in that half as well

 

[Perth Tiger]

That was also a poor effort from Bula. His first season he came up with so many try savers. That seems to have disappeared from his game.

 

[Tigerm]

We won the first half, the first 10 or so minutes will be telling.

Watch their halves do a betting kicking job 40/20's and long bombs
