Is something wrong in The Tiger Den?

[pmac21]

Look at that. The sun came up.  I'm sure we're all pretty flat, down & upset.  I sure was. 
I've come to terms with our season, we will bounce back in 2022.

I just think it's a combination of all things.Haven’t handled the preason well and rule changes, big drop off in skills and our pressure,to much in our senior players performing badly ,injuries , coaches box hasn't been great to.

Yep, it’s a combination of many things that feed into each other - hunger, fatigue, aging players, rule changes, game plan issues and more.

Wouldn't discount how much last year, and to some extent this year has taken out of us mentally and physically. I wouldn't be surprised if we bounced back and had another great year next year, but to do that, I reckon we need to concede that it ain't happening this year, rest some senior players, get games into some young guys and bring everyone back refreshed and fit for preseason.

I think there's definitely something wrong between the ears.

You don't see EFFORT at times. Confidence is down. Players getting frustrated and sucked into scuffles off the ball.

Does Hardwick's Mrs have anything to do with it? What about Brooke and her crap on social media affecting Cotch? Who stuffing knows but in years gone by we would chalk up wins against middling clubs like Saints and Suns with half a dozen of our best blokes out. The team ethos and system would win the easier games and we'd steam home when it mattered. Now it just looks like they have given up altogether.

When the Coach cheats on the Captains missus good friend then yeah their are going to be problems. Pretty stuffen obvious.

2021 could be a blip like 2016 where we can restock and reload. I think as long as we have Dusty we should remain optimistic we have one last premiership in their somewhere.

Dusty looks cooked too. If he's not carrying an injury then he's just as tired or over it as the rest of them. Haven't seen much of his best football this year at all.

Id give Cotch, Dusty  Toby and JR8 the rest of the season off. Houli and Astbury should retire ASAP.

Did Dimma mention that? I don't watch the press stuff.

I know he said Edwards was banged up but they usually dent Dusty is injured and then use it as an excuse later.
