Post-Game Discussion Tigers V Manly [Round 24, 2025]

[mickqld]

Ok so 4 weeks ago with exactly the same team minus Jurbo we beat the Storm in Melbourne. So WTF has happened since then to throw up that diarrhea performance today. There's a massive disconnect within this club, team and the coaching staff. Mestrov and Penn better grow a set and deal with it now.

And we went back to the poisoned well with this bog average player.

To be fair, Waddells has been our quasi Ola, and the worst part about this, Cherry believes Waddells is Ola.

 

[Eagle 1]

You’re still riding this team home! Wow, respect your resilience. 🙌

I really couldn’t care what happens over the next three weeks unless it involves some serious change to start addressing issues. That would be dropping Dollars and Saab, at least. We have players to step into those roles. Although Brooks hasn’t been great recently, I’d persevere with him as I think dropping both halves would be too destabilising to the team overall.

The only other option that I would be interested to see would be possibly shifting Turbo to 5/8… just curious to see how he would go there and how that changes the team dynamic. I realise it may be a challenge defensively, but curious nonetheless.

Anyway, if Seibs made some changes like the above then I’d probably watch out the season knowing they are at least doing something to address what’s happening.

Yeah, I know HK, gota believe in something tho. Not a lot of positives for next Sat unfortunately....yeah, today was really piss poor alright.

Now that the season is over, it's time to blood Joey Walsh.
We have nothing to lose from here. Give the kid a taste.

How about we start him next week at seven, and bench DCE? DCE can celebrate his 350th as our reserve dummy half. We should have really given Walsh some NRL experience weeks ago.

I thought the forwards did as good as they can do for a NSW cup forwards, trying as hard as they could against a young alpha male Tigers.

But the millions dollar backline did F###***all except Koula. Specially the half, with JT or Joey we would be winning the comp for the past 5yrs with the backline we got.

I would rather that he didn't get to play his 350th

Turbo is nowhere near the player he was, and I’m beginning to think he won’t get any better than what we saw today, which was average at best. Some of his defensive efforts were plain embarrassing, and he poses next to no threat with the ball.

I’m of the opinion he has downed tools against Seibold and the captain

 

[Eagledare2dream]

I use to chuck the biggest tantrum during and after a game scaring the kids and da neighbors, now me kids are so proud of me just sitting there shaking me head.

I told them well I can't afford a new TV every week can I because of u both taking all my money.

 

[Brookie1973]

Who decided to hire Barrett and Siebold?
And extend Siebold before the season was over?
Honestly, bring back Des .

If we apply the same “results driven business” criteria that we used to sack Des, then Seibold should be clearing his desk tomorrow morning.

A taste of losing?

 

[Rackets]

I wonder if Fogarty watches our games and what he's thinking 🤔

 

[skull61]

Jut tried to listen to the press conference idiot blaming playing 3 of the top 4 teams over the last month and then blaming injuries to forwards had to turn it off

 

[Niallcc]

I live in Norton St. Unlike the utter travesty at Leichhardt last year, Tigers deserved winners. We need Matty Ballin as head coach next year (*we have ‘never’ won a comp by people who have not played for the club). Also, disregarding 1995 and the NRL sanctioned robbery in 2013, we have at least won a competition every decade. That’s in grave danger now. I support the CEO but coach needs to go.

Thought so, he's scrambling to sound cohesive now,....what a shambles.

 

[Buck]

This side has progressively gone backwards each season under the current coach. There are no signs of anything strategically in place to evolve this club. The current standard being trundled out is embarrassing & reminiscent of where the Tigers fell to in recent years. The difference? They are now improving & we have fallen to a level I can't recall. Penn must take action if he has any respect for the club.

Given that nobody will have the balls to sit Cherry on the reserves bench for his farewell appearance at Brookvale (just think - the next time we get to see him at Brookvale he'll be in a Roosters jersey and nobody will have to feel bad about booing him), I'm not opposed to sitting Brooks down (he can take the bench hooker/halves cover role) so Walsh can have a run.

Management need to call an unannounced press conference on nine this Tuesday announcing DCE won’t be playing for manly agin this year

They should go on and say they know this announcement will make many un happy knowing DCE won’t make 350 games or play on Brookvale oval again

It should be followed by Anthony Seibold announcing he is standing down for personal reasons and Snake & Beaver will guide the side for the remaking two games

Turbo is a liability to the side. He is losing us games with his non existent defence and lack of commitment and pace. He should be dropped. It is the elephant in the room..

Before every try or points we get I do the Eagles whistles, now I do the canary sounds when they're in danger. The kids just laugh. I love them keeping me grounded.

110% hopefully working out how to fix our problem, I think this guy is not about $$$$dollars, he's here for his families and what ever times he has left. And maybe an extension for another year.

I can get on board with all that. Make it so.
