They're just not a good football team, this Wests Tigers side. Can rarely even do the basics that you'd expect to flow after they make a break, or when they're putting it through the hands on the last, or when they need to catch a bomb, or just hold onto the ball etc.

No excuses really - they've got Api, and Brooks is half-decent in fairness. But there's a whole lot of blokes across the paddock that just look lost. Doesn't bode at all well for when the Benji and Farah show steps up from being assistants to the real deal.

Says a lot about the cowboys letting them score 66 against them.

Was just one of those nights where everything they did went right, and everything the Cowboys did went wrong.
The Tigers were always going to come crashing back down to earth after that, their attack has been awful all year apart from that one game.

How the f**k are Wests losing this game? 7 linebreaks to 0 ffs. It was the arsiest 18 point lead in the history of the game.

And when Raiders shaped for the one point field goal, the Tigers "pushed the boundary" and gave away a two point penalty, and the lead/game...

Because what that stat doesn't tell you is the context - every break they made they f**ked it up. Didn't pass to support players, or passed behind them or over the sideline, or simply coughed the ball up.
This is just a narrative. The linebreak discrepancy represents dominance by one team. "f**king up" a given break is a normal possible outcome of a linebreak. Failing to score from seven of them is freakish bad luck.

Whoever the Wests fullback is has been pretty... Waqa-like.

I assume someone's out injured, and he couldn't possibly be the first choice 17.
