the first one to be dropped should be...

[tiger_nick]

tim sheens.

what a f*cking disgraceful lineup. seriously did he expect any other result? against a team who ALWAYS smashes us straight up the center we go in with NO props. yes i know we had our top four out, however there is no excuse not to call someone up from lower grades who regularly plays in this position. for f*cks sakes they had a winger making breaks at will through the center!!

i know we've had a terrible injury run however there is no reason we should still not to be a top four team.

also if i see the STUPID F*CKING BLIND SIDE SCRUM PLAY one more time i am running into the coaches box to give him a spray personally. i am so sick of this f*cking sh*t we are put through EVERY WEEK. it never works. we either make 2 meters and waste a tackle, or get pushed into touch like collis did today.

payne HAS to go. the bloke is seriously the worst forward i have seen in tigers colours, and thats saying something. his 'effort' that lead to parras second try was disgusting, id back our s.g ball forwards to make a better attempt then that.

the only guys i thought who looked like they actually cared about the result were hodgson (goes without mentioning) and beau ryan. in all seriousness ryan has been our best outside back this year. if the genius on the other wing (who was back to his normal sh*tness) gets picked ahead of him next week its a f*cking joke. id actually give ryan a run at center next week to see how he goes.

head and trimachi also get a small mention. head is the only one who actually chases kicks hard and rocky ran with venom when he came on.

the clubs supporters deserve more then the crap this club, coaches and players have put out there this year. i dont care if we lose when we've put everything in. however to lose as a result of ridiculous selections and players not putting in is very disheartening for the fans.

Hear hear!

That blindside f**king scrum move is terrible - where are the attacking moves of 2005? We've still got the personnel to execute them but are dishing out that crap.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Were you the bloke sitting behind me today?

"I think Sheens is past his use by date".

FWIW I agree. We are predictable, make the same mistakes and in four years against Parramatta have learnt absolutely nothing.

 

[super_coach]

Hard to disagree with your post

I didn't get your pic MOTH, my phone isn't receiving MMS for some reason.

Did you get my text r.e Mrs Ronald. We were sitting right behind her lol

Luke Harlen has been in the top squad for a few years and hasn't even been picked for FG.

Ryan Tandy won the strongest man at the club this year yet hasn't even been picked for FG.

If they can't get a run this week they'll never play. Every single prop is injured and what to we get? A pack of backrowers. A converted centre in the #8. It's a sick joke. .

100% right mate. i dont care how theyve been going in lower grades, you play a genuine prop. the fans deserve answers.

[moller]

Absolute disgrace.
Whilst there was obviously a fair few players well under par, I don't have too many issues with them - we were on the world's biggest hiding to nothing as soon as the 17 came out.
f**king fuming.

Our players are becoming very complacent as they know they won`t be dropped regardless of form. The forwards are our big problem, we have plenty out injured and Sheens not picking anyone with any size about them is a disgrace, but regardless of size, the blokes that played today just weren`t prepared to have a go and take the big Parramatta side on. Ther is NO exceptions, Robbie Farah and Chris Heighington are being talked about as possible Origin players, well somebody tell them they won`t play SOO until they get a bit of aggression in their game and hit with the shoulder rather than arm grabbing. Not doubting their workload, but as two of our more high profile players thet should be leading from the front, using their shoulder and trying to force errors from the opposing side when defending, not arm grabbing and riding them to ground. I don`t care if you make 100 tackles per game, it means nothing to me unless you atleast occasionally hit with your shoulder, our forward pack even at full strength is the laughing stock of the competition, you don`t need to be a big bloke to hit hard, you just need a bit of ticker !!!
Our centres are in the same boat, both are very good attacking players when the opportunity comes their way, but they defend like women ! Give me Beau Ryan in the centres, not the wing, atleast he plays the game with some aggression.
f**king disgracefull, from the coach to every player who wore out colours today except for Beau Ryan and Hodgo, although i`m not sure what MOTH is talking about with Ben Te`o ??? He was once again our ONLY player consistently running on to the ball with venom and he along with the very ordinary Corey Payne, our only 2 players who even tried to hit with their shoulder !!!

 

[tiger_nick]

collis is a good defender, it was head who leaked points on our right. i actually thought collis gave inu some troubles aswell. he seems to be getting back to his best.

 

[moller]

I agree re: Te'o - won't lose any sleep if he heads to Kogarah.

 

[super_coach]

Time for a Brian Smith cleanout, get rid of about half a dozen who cant cut the mustard and we all know who they are and replace them with 3 class players that suit our needs not more broken down back rowers

 

[Vicious]

So I gather you blokes would like to go and watch a team full of blokes that tackle like mothers with handbags ???
Heighington has proved that he is a class player, but today he sh*t himself and didn`t have a fair dinkum go !!! It`s laughable to even suggest him as a possible SOO player until he can actually hurt someone when defending. Frah is in the same boat, he is one of the most skillfull blokes in the game, but I can`t see the NSW SOO selectors starting with him in a game until he hits with his shoulder, he`ll be a bench player for NSW even next year unless he changes this.
Collis is the same, he makes plenty of tackles, but do any of them hurt anyone ???
He`s big enough and experienced enough by now and as he`s not super quick he needs to be a hard hitting defender.

 

[Vicious]

No i'd rather a team of mongs that came out of the recruitment manager's nutsack and a team of bludging second rowers holding hands with the touchies ... runs hard ? Makes 2 runs up the guts all day .. easy to run hard running at half backs ... f**k Te'o let him go to st george

I now know you are a merkin of a judge of a footballer.
He`s the only bloke that ran the ball hard and one of 2 blokes that actually made a decent hit, PLEASE !!!

 

[Vicious]

Easy to run it hard when you make 2 hitups a game in the forwards
He can f**k off the lazy cutie
Name me 1 game he has dominated ... i'll wait

Have you not noticed that next to no opposing players run hard at him because they know they`ll be belted, yet they have smiles on their faces when running at the rest of our side.
The pack needs an overhaul rergardless of injuries. We need to find a few wildcards that are willing and a bit of size certainly wouldn`t go astray. Ryan Tandy and Daine Laurie must be in first grade next week and young Hol Tonga wouldn`t be a bad option either. Sheens seems to worry about their defensive aspect, but if you select 4 big, young, enthusiastic and agressive props, they only have to play 40mins each in 20min intervals !

 

[themanonthehill]

You neglected to mention 1 game Te'o has dominated
He's a lazy f**ker and i'll drive him to Kogarah
Makes Scott Gourley look like Luke BAiley

Very dominant in a losing side verse the Broncos in round 1. What`s your point ??? His job is to do damage on the fringes, which he does as good if not better than anyone else when given space or a 1 on 1 opportunity. Problem being the lesser talented forwards who should be getting us on a roll on, but they aren`t !
Today also showed how much we miss another bloke that MOTH was not long ago critisizing in Keith Galloway. Big Keith is one of the best no frills up the middle metre men in the comp and it would be nice if we could unearth another 1 or two like him !!!

 

[tiger_nick]

gotta agree re heighington, probably his worst game for the club for a couple of years.

still he has been in the top 3 players every game this year so ill let him have a week off.
