Rd18 2023: Non Parra games - Beanie for Brain Cancer Round

[DaveMc]

We’re back to proper “penalty Broncos” territory

 

[Eelogical]

I’m calling it early. Dolphins win.

 

[Suitman]

Geez the Dolphins are getting filleted by the refs in this one.

Filleted?
What's the Sauce? (As per LU rules)

Kevvie’s Ring Stinger.

Poor tiges
Where’s our resident tigers fan to tell us how his club is pulling all the right strings and getting the better of our eels

Do you mean @Tiger5150?

Do you mean @Tiger5150?

That’s him

That’s him

I wasn’t sure, could have also been @The Silverdale Phantom

 

[Tiger5150]

That’s him

Ill give you the satisfaction. Tigers were building week on week until they made the unexplainable decision to push Joffa out and gift wrap him for you guys. IMO its one of about 4 or 5 things that have happened in the last month that have completely derailed the club. I said at the time it made no sense, and makes less sense now.

Classy

 

[King-Gutho94]

Sounds like a record breaking evening having just seen the Tigers score 74-0.

74-0 wtf happened for it to get to that point.

Makes the 66 points against the Cows a month ago more baffling.

How many tackles did Papa miss.

Was Stefano protecting himself for Origin 3.

The West Tigers are always in the mother f**king game!!!

What are the other four? Presumably Fulton's appointment, maybe letting Brooks go... but I'm still two short?

Do you think Sheens will see out his time, and that Benji-Farah will also continue to be the follow-on option?

in the last month, pushing Joffa, the method of Fultons appointment, lowballing Brooks and giving him a 2 day deadline without a back up plan are the three biggest....

I actually thought that the Sheen to Benji plan was a good one with the corresponding development/pathways focus and pushing juniors though plan. All in all a good plan and worth getting behind, especially with ther signings of Api, Papali'i, Klemmer, Bateman. Even with the tough start to the season and being 0-8 other than Brisbane, no one has dominated us, our forwards beat most packs, and each week was an improvement on the week before, it looked exactly like the plan was working exactly as it was designed to...up until week 14.

Then Pascoe & Lee completely undermined the structure that they set up, signed Fulton without consulting without coaching staff, undermining the whole bottom up structure created in less than 6 months. Since then every decision has been a head scratcher and our on field results have been just as bad (Brooks & Api injuries dont help).

If they announce Fainu & Trindall, maybe all is worth it, but our recent track record suggests not.

 

[Bandwagon]

I wonder if conceding 40 in a half says something about a club’s kulcha?

Dolphins did last week.

 

[DaveMc]

Dolphins did last week.

Yeah, though they didn’t end up conceding 74. Kulcha problems at the Tigers.

Kudos for sticking your head in mate.

Yep. I think letting Brooks go - seemingly against Sheen's public statements of desire - without any apparent plan for a replacement must be making a lot of people in the squad and coach's box feel insecure about the future. And when your insecure about the future (as well as the present) there's not much to play for and efforts will decline.

I rate Doueihi, but he needs one or two mates in the 7 and 14 jersey for him and the team to be competitive next year. Wakeham simply isn't a first grader in the halves. If Wests are in the hunt for a half like Trindall, they'll have to throw the bank at him to lock something in for next season.

Who signed Api and Papalii? Madge signed Papa. Who was in charge when Api announced?
Bateman has been shithouse for you guys and Klemmer has been a plodder since he got to Newcastle.

edit: Api was signed in December 2021 (under Madge)

Wests Tigers sign Apisai Koroisau

Wests Tigers are pleased to announce that representative hooker and dual premiership winner Apisai Koroisau has agreed to join the club from the start of the 2023 NRL season.

So under Sheens you have got no one decent but released Joffa and lost Brooks.
