Wests have money. They haven't paid the bills because Balmain stopped paying. Wests can and will repay their share of the NRL loans. Balmain's failure to pay means their 2 board seats are vacated until they become financial again. Wests Tigers have money.

You assume that Wests wants control of the NRL side (if Balmain can't pay back the loan). There is no indication that they do.

You want us to cut a guy we just re-signed?

Akaoula just needs work on his defence.

And he's not the only one.

Injuries have not helped our campaign in 2014, but they are just one factor that has helped in derailing our season.

We are such a fragile club, it take a little set back and we drop our bundle in a flash. We are mentally week from the boardroom down to the stappers. We need to develop a hard nosed winning culture, where winning is everything. At present we are always hearing the about the bright future that is just around the corner. We need to be very concerned about today and not dream about the future. Yes I do agree we need to set out a five year plan, but more importantly we must implement this plan and be ruthless with anyone who can not meet the required goals of the plan. This applies to everyone across the club,players,coaches,administrators and of course the board room.

No more excuses please, lets see some real action

Your opinion on our medical staff is backed up by what ????

years of evidence that we can't keep our players healthy nor get them back on the field in a timely manner.

You do also realize that people heal at different rates and sometimes its hard to predict how they heal accurately.

no shit. it just appears that the Tigers are the slowest healers on the damn planet.

This is doctor dumbass to you:- http://www.ssmc.com.au/practitioners/donald_kuah.html. I'd be interested in your experience when it comes to judging him. I have to assume that you are much more qualified than he is and more specialized within the field or the alternative is that you are full of shit. How about being honest and listing your credentials so we can judge if you are just making up BS or not.

the fall back of a desperate poster "what do you know. where are your qualifications. you can't judge if you are in a different profession" it's a sad place to be.

in the end an investigation into our medical/recovery process is obviously required. are we are up to scratch? what are other teams doing? what are other sport organizations doing?

Compare to a club like Manly that probably has more internal dramas & disputes than the Tigers but still make the top 4 most years.

Like a couple said here before its easiest to blame the board and the coaching staff, but its not the board or coaching staff that goes out there and makes the tackles and creates the attacking sets and gives away the penalties.

Sheens should have never been sacked in the first place now the board is stuck because they want to blame the coach and sack him but if they do that they would have 2 coaches to pay off, that is the easy way out.

I think the problem started in the Media and finished with farah, before this entire circus started Tigers actually looked very decent and a very big surprise package this year, yes injuries have come but every club has injuries.Look at panthers for example they have a tone of injuries but they don't have all this off field issues and a captain who looks to very well feared by most of the players at the club and no one wants to stick up to him.

Shut up f**khead.

Sheens last week agreed to not sue the club, Potter is contracted til October. You should check your facts before running your fat gob next time f**kwit.

I started laughing after you typed "I think" and didn't bother reading the rest of your shit.

Interesting times ahead

 

[ucantseeme]

It's still mathematically possible this year.

But yeah, hoping 2015 will be better.

 

[madunit]

We're going to need 4-5 of the teams directly above us (on 26 & 24 points) to lose 3 games from here on in, and we have to win all 4 of ours, purely because of our points differential

I thought it was all over after the Dragons loss. I can't see next year looking much better either, TBH.

 

[BrotherJim05]

We need a bloody miracle. Everyone pray to your gods

 

[Tiger05]

the fall back of a desperate poster "what do you know. where are your qualifications. you can't judge if you are in a different profession" it's a sad place to be.

I would agree with this point on occasions points but not on this topic. The reason is really simple - you have no proof or facts to back up your argument and you are not utilizing logical reasoning within the topic that is being discussed.

You need to take a step back and stop speaking bullshit. You have nothing to justify your stupid opinion. I'd go so far to say that the comments related to injuries are basically crazy.

 

[madunit]

Its no secret that our in-house medical facilities need to be reviewed

How do our Training facilities stack up against our competition?
Grant Mayer: From my experience, we are a fair way behind the market leaders. We need to make some very big decisions regarding our facilities now.

[Matchball]

Homebush has to be our next facility. Geographically it makes sense and financially.
It has world class aquatic centre and huge gymnasium.

What's the options after we leave Concord?

 

[Tiger05]

however, we are satisfied with our current process.


Our physio staff have been very happy with regards to how quickly players have come back.

Madunit you are better than that. You misquoted Mayer there.

I have a real issue with bullshit being played out as facts and that is what is occurring with the stupid conspiracy theories/crazy talk regarding injuries and time to recover from injuries somehow being cause by incompetent medial staff.

The facts are simply that we aren't performing to the level we need to be. Injuries have probably hurt us this season however looking at the stats that were recently supplied it really doesn't seem like a significant issue compared to other clubs.

I don't have the solution to why we aren't performing but I do know that focusing on the obvious issues is much more likely to be true than making up BS.

I personally don't think our squad is that bad however I don't think its that good either. I feel the same way with regards to our coaching staff.

I didn't misquote Mayer. I copied & pasted from the link provided.

You left out the key point that the staff didn't feel recovery times were bad at all. Its selective quoting and the full quote proves my point whereas your selective quote is something that the crazies will jump on.
