One word PURGE the coaching staff .. it’s embarrassing watching this team and how poorly they are coached ! There is no form or function , no aggression or urgency the selections are poor as with the use of the bench ..(was Pole injured). Do us all a favour Marshall and walk please…
My one word: Slow.
Slow in defence, slow in attack, slow between the ears. There's no pace, no forward thinking, no emergency...everything is done at half pace.
@helmesy Well, if it's lasted a decade then there is something fundamental that has not been addressed. Or are you suggesting there are different things each year that stop progress for WT? I don't think so.
Watching this game WT are, yet again, so far off the pace of the rest of the NRL, it is an embarrassment.
Bingo!
Keep em coming please guys. Eddie and I will be conducting the post mortem, ahh I mean podcast at 8:30 tonight.

My word: September. Can't come quick enough for Tigers fans.
My one word is Abysmal. Abysmal in attack and abysmal in defence.
Doueihi needs to stop worrying about other player’s performance and concentrate on his own because tonight he was shit, like abysmal. He’s also a ball hog, that is when he doesn’t drop it cold.
Both halves, Sezer & Galvin, need to learn how to straighten the attack, crabbing across the field won’t cut it. Not sure I would keep Sezer next year if he is the example being set. Don’t want anyone to copy his abysmal style.
Utoikamanu can go now and take Klemmer with him. Neither is performing to NRL standard, we don’t need the non committed performances from wannabes and hasbeens.
Alaimalo needs to read the plays much better and be ready for kicks in play, not just the last tackle.
Someone has brought back Taylorball. 5 hitups and a kick doesn’t cut it, never did really. I don’t think that is the coach either. It certainly won’t be happening next year.
was it madge? no
was it Brooks? no
the club in general is destined for bad performances
my only hope is can Luai turn the tide ?
we need another big prop and centre to start with
I was at work and saw snippets… but my one word is ‘Burnt’ we are well past cooked and overcooked.Keep em coming please guys. Eddie and I will be conducting the post mortem, ahh I mean podcast at 8:30 tonight.
Conditioning
We are the least fit team in the comp, and it costs us every week. Has been an issue for a long time as well - pretty much other than 2010-11.
There are all sorts of issues with our development, recruitment and top grade coaching (and the rest), but a shift in conditioning alone with this squad would net us a couple of extra wins.
One word: boring. I have watched that game 50 times over the last decade
we are cooked under Marshall as a coach. I have stayed quiet the whole year but i can honestly say i really have seen no improvement as a team under his leadership. Imagine a good coach teaching Bula, Galvin and and Talen amongst others. If Benji did have the arrogance he would stand aside at seasons end and say you know what i need to do time as an assistant and if and only if the opportunity arises I will be better for the experience. Instead Tweedle dee and Tweedle dumb give him a 4 year contract as the head coach of the weakest club in the NRL by a fair margin. I actually cant see a way out at the moment, Richo is doing the right thing by backing Marshall, but surely a shrude operator like him if he had his way he would not have had Marshall as his first choice head coach.. The future to me is bleak but hey i hope i am so wrong but unfortunately I cant see it.

Im more worried about the fundamental problem at the club. I'm less worried about Stefano, Bateman, Benji etcc(though everyone has to accept some responsibility). My concern is we change admin, players, coaches yet the same results continue. We accept mediocrity, have no attention to detail and have losing and failing entrenched in our DNA
Tbh Marshall has been coach for 2 seasons in my books. I’m not sure whether another season sees success?? The last 7-10 years we’ve changed so many coaches and assistants, defensive, attacking. Heck we thought the COE was going to change things for us. Not sure what changes this team ? I’m cluelesswe are cooked under Marshall as a coach.

I don't know if 8 months is enough time to see what the new administration accepts. I think that will be shown in the next 3 months though.
