So june 30 is only a few days away......not that that seems to make any bloody difference.

So just before the deadline when its time to sign new players......the boys decide to put on 160 minutes of absolute garbage in the space of six days.
Oh yeah they waited until they were on national TV....not once but twice!!!!

I'm ashamed to be a WesTsTigers supporter.....I was proud a week ago when I put that tigers sticker on my car....feel like rippin it off now.

Its like they made a pact and decided that the only way to save their own positions was to go out and play so pathetically, that no new play would even consider in his wildest dreams of coming to a club like the Wests tigers.

To be cruising along nicely there for a few weeks with six wins out of nine games....sitting comfortably in the top eight foe several weeks in 6th spot....to suddenly nosedive to two 50 point hammerings suggests there is something seriously wrong at this club in recent times.

If I was a player and I got an offer to come and play for the Tiges, I would seriously be reluctant to, going on the last two results which suggest theres more to this shit than just poor footy!

Whos gunna wanna come and play for us now?

We'll be the last option for the last of the unsigned players....in other words , the scraps.

Theres no doubt about our bad form at the moment but i wouldnt go as far to say there are problems at the club.I think simply we have come up against arguably the 2 hottest attacking teams in the comp in consecutive weeks,and we just havnt had an answer.

I wont be giving up on a top 8 spot yet.The question now is how quickly we can turn this around and next weeks game against the Raiders becomes important.If we can bump them off everything will be back on track cuz after that we play the eagles and melbourne so we could possibly win our next 3 games.

Why would you even be hoping for a top eight spot happy?
.
You just got a preview last nite.

I know im still angry and probably shouldnt be posting while im in this frame of mind, as I have learnt :?: from the past that posting while shitty does not equate to sensibility.

We'll be lucky to win 1 of those next three games!

Well, come on Innaneo, you'll be calming down soon.

Don't know what the problem is, but we have played against the two whitehot teams these last two weeks.

My main concerns are the inability to score, 2 weeks running. Even if the scores were still 50+, I wouldn't feel so down about it if the tigers had crossed the line even once each game. The other thing I am concerned with is the apparent inability to tackle the player with the ball. How many times did Cross (I think it was him) get up, late in the second half when 3 tigers had 'tackled' him? Only one tiger in each tackle has to be a worry. Given that the team is small, surely they must know that hey need at least 2 players to make an effective tackle. The one out when in attack IS NOT WORKING, guys! Why isn't someone there to take the pass? Or the bloody play the ball #-o

I'm not looking forward to the trip to Canberra, not at all. :(

There is no doubt about what has happened over the last 2 weeks however in saying that if we did happen to get the bounce of the ball in our direction the scorelines could very well ended up alot different.

Its funny how things can change so dramatically over 3 weeks but thats rugby league for you anything can happen in this sport and I know we can and will bounce back!

Now onto this topic - Most people can see that the Wests Tigers have improved and are starting to put things together and in saying that alot of players don't know think rejects are the future of this club.

The boys will bounce back I have no doubt about that and I think next round when we play the Raiders will be a true show of carachter for the boys especially if we get behind early!

So do I :lol:

I am starting to get abit concerned though about Sattler and his miss-reading in defence at times last night it was really obvious and the Roosters had a field day out that side - Also Elford I think needs to either be put back to the bench or have a few games in PL!

Sattler is certainly not playing with the same intensity as earlier in the season. I thought I read somewhere about him having a knee cartiledge problem.

It's strange that we have most of our injured players back, but now we are crap :oops:

Roll on next week ;-)
