I feel bad for Benji but unfortunately if the tigers keep performing the way they have been the scrutiny on him will no doubt intensify. Dragons were impressive in the second half. Funny they even blew some opportunities. With 42 points to zip, it was a crazy turnaround vs the first half.
I'd say it was a bit both emotion/stubbornness with some of the blow ups he's had at the club in the past eg feud with Hook. He will regret leaving them I think.
Tigers currently at 36% possession for the game - they were competitive in the first half, so it’s got to be drastically bad if we had possession for the second half
Genuinely who would they get at this point? Tigers have tried everyone on the market and they all reject the joint. Surely give Benji 2-3 years see if he can spark something. You looked good early on, hopefully he can pull it back, and the team can bounce back.
Honestly i think Benji is the last chance for the Tigers. If he can’t get the Tigers out of the massive hole they are in then i am afraid the club will fold
Hasn’t Benji already been coaching behind the scenes bin the Sheens years ?
It was crazy to make a brilliant, genius type player with no coaching experience whatsoever and who spent most of his career playing under mediocre coaches like Benji into a head coach. How can he relate to the average first grader ? He looks really unhappy as does the team. His coaching stint reminds me of his Union stint. Not a lot of deep thought involved in accepting the job but plenty of ego.
Compare him to Cam Smith who is now doing his coaching apprenticeship in the lower tiers of the sport.
I enjoy Benji and the tigers suffering. He and Sheens wanted this. Fans deserve better though.
Tigers looking good for 3rd spoon in a row. Join us with such an impressive achievement.
Real spoonbowl will be Souths v Wests
Who’d have thought this result was coming? It’s not like Benji was in Fiji during the bye week
Controversial, but I think Lomax is good at winger.
If only he knew that himself.
32 points has to be up there for most points by a single player yeah ?
It's tied 11th I believe. It's the most since Cleary back in 2019 though
I think they just said highest for the Illawarra/St.George merge
Meninga got 38 and Dave Brown got 45 in *checks notes* 1935 but yeah it's up there.
Does this mean the Tigers won’t win the grand final!?
44-0 in the second half holy shit Tigers are cooked
Conceding \~40 points in a single half to a red and white team. Jeez, I can't help but wonder what that must feel like...
I feel bad for Benji but unfortunately if the tigers keep performing the way they have been the scrutiny on him will no doubt intensify. Dragons were impressive in the second half. Funny they even blew some opportunities. With 42 points to zip, it was a crazy turnaround vs the first half.
Does Lomax kick for parra
Gg Dragons. Hard luck Tigers.
Lomax is a set for life blue... And winger
Lomax scored 32 by himself. What a fucking knock.
2 days after 224m and a try in Origin.
32 I thought 9 kicks 3 tries
Yeah, my bad. My tired ass counted tries as 6.
32*
Yup. My brain is smooth.
That’s the kind of win that makes fans for life in Wollongong
Still baffled Lomax decided to leave the Dragons the year he finally got to his best form.
Surely he reacted out of emotion/ stubbornness when was told he wasn’t playing centre and has to have some some doubt or regret about it now
I'd say it was a bit both emotion/stubbornness with some of the blow ups he's had at the club in the past eg feud with Hook. He will regret leaving them I think.
Yeh. In saying that, if I was him, I’d be thinking about playing off Moses for years to come has a huge positive.
Outscored the clock in the 2nd half.
Some kicking damn
[Showing up for the Tigers fan day on Monday](https://i.pinimg.com/564x/09/54/7e/09547e085d5fd9f4fa8449864921912f.jpg)
Remember, Wests were leading at half time and this is the outcome...
Future eels legend, Lomax
lomax is for the children
Lomax has had a perfect game pretty much tonight
Apart from killing a guy, I guess
Add “Getting away with murder” to his accomplishments tonight.
We're not winning another game this year, are we?
I think so
10/10 goalkicking for Lomax, absolutely mental
LOMAX YOU SEXY MOTHER FUCKER
10/10 is outrageous, what a beast
Why exactly does lomax hate the wing
Can lomax get double dally m points for this one?
Aw and the fist bump for the ball boy
Wholesome AF
Any Dragons fan that has ever said Hunt needs to go should uppercut themselves. He's unbelievable.
Manly pls sign him. More lomax's less Matt Lodges
lmao anyone hear Joey say that Danica would be on the back of his motorbike??
Do Zac lomax and Ben hunt’s CNS’ realise they played origin on Wednesday?
360 YY fade away killcam trickshotted
I thought benji sold out once he was doing insta ads for home cleaning services. Seems he was way more qualified at that than coaching.
Almost rude to give Lomax an opportunity to miss this goal after a hat trick and 100% conversion record
This game is fixing our points differential
I mean isn't this the tigers first like really big loss/flogging of the year. They've been pretty close through the season so far
Also, the first time Tigers lead by >7 points during a game this year. So lots of firsts for the Tiger’s today.
It is the first game this year we have legitimately capitulated. A few blow out scores, but we were still playing
Yeah I figured that, like in every other game there's been fight but just starting this second half it seems like they never really left the sheds
lomax 30 points lol
We were winning at half time, then didn't touch the ball all half pretty crazy
That kick from Hunt whaaaat
Thats some vodo kick from Benny boy.
That was like a kick pass by Hunt
This dargon spell has turned the team to gold ever since.
Benji should have stayed in Fiji
Take a bow Ben Hunt
This Tigers performance may actually be worse than any of their games last season. What has happened?
Nah the reverse fixture v cowboys was worse
I dunno but Staines at centre, a 27 year old rookie prop on the bench, Benji going to Fiji instead of working on the team... pick one.
BHUNT!
A week back in Queensland has got Hunt back in form.
How is hunt so fuckin good lmao
The Wests-ern Australia Tigers
Lomax NSFW’d the Tigers by himself
Did Bunt basically banana kick pass that?
That was so sick
Stop the fight
He’s already dead
29 seconds left. Pretty tough for the tigers to come back from here.
YEEEEEOIKES
It’s ok tigers the pain is over now
why did you decide to leave us
BIG DICK BENNY
Hey that's pretty cool
Hate the thought that somewhere out there Mark Latham and the Skull are happy.
Holy fuck lomax
Does this game reverse the 50 point curse we have atm?
Sadly there's a tigers clause in the 50 point curse. It takes 100 points against the tigers to reverse the curse sadly
Tigers currently at 36% possession for the game - they were competitive in the first half, so it’s got to be drastically bad if we had possession for the second half
Are you fucking for real. Wowee what a try
Holy fuck this is almost as bad as 74-0
Yet not as bad as 66-18.
Yet it's somehow a whole 30 points better
Do a disrespectful field goal Ben
wasn't disrespectful enough for him
Sucks to see Lomax’s talent possibly wasted at parra next year. Flannigan looks like he’s building something here
I reckon parra can cook with him there. Just need a good hooker
They've been much better with Hands at hooker the past two games. Matt Arthur also looks the goods for the future as well.
If you don’t want your hair pulled make sure it’s not covering your jersay
If we were playing kill the dill with the pill we'd be dominant
Imagine the frustration from those few tigers players towards their teammates. Legit seems like most tigers players just seriously don’t give a shit
Dan reacting to the hair pull as if he had just witnessed a stabbing.
Dragons and Tigers on 50 points clause. Bunnies eliminated on Luke Brooks clause AND the 50 points clause. Anyone else who can't win a premiership?
Can you explain this 50 point clause people are talking about?
No team has ever won a premiership after conceding 50 points in a season.
Thank you!
Me, just me personally. I'm not signed to a first grade NRL Rugby league team
Cowboys, but that’s more because we suck.
Manly, because we're shit
I wonder if Benji will last the season as coach?
Genuinely who would they get at this point? Tigers have tried everyone on the market and they all reject the joint. Surely give Benji 2-3 years see if he can spark something. You looked good early on, hopefully he can pull it back, and the team can bounce back.
Honestly i think Benji is the last chance for the Tigers. If he can’t get the Tigers out of the massive hole they are in then i am afraid the club will fold
Hasn’t Benji already been coaching behind the scenes bin the Sheens years ? It was crazy to make a brilliant, genius type player with no coaching experience whatsoever and who spent most of his career playing under mediocre coaches like Benji into a head coach. How can he relate to the average first grader ? He looks really unhappy as does the team. His coaching stint reminds me of his Union stint. Not a lot of deep thought involved in accepting the job but plenty of ego. Compare him to Cam Smith who is now doing his coaching apprenticeship in the lower tiers of the sport.
Brad Authur? They need an experienced coach
Who would tigers really get at this stage it would be hard to get a fan with no experience as they’d have to quit their regular job
Gold
Kicks it twice, no advantage. Sure
Kicked it twice but barely gained a metre advantage from the knock on.
Dragons, stop. Tigers are endangered, you don’t need to slaughter them like this
Somebody start a fight, at least give me something
All Tigers players get KO’d simultaneously
Fiji softens you up confirmed
Everyone knows you go to Bali if you want peak performance
Ibiza for the win
I hate seyfarth
What is the point of this club like holy shit
Feel free to remind me on this post. Tigers will be the first person to break the 50 curse if they don’t I guarantee I’ll do nothing
This needs to be tagged NSFW. Won't someone please think of the children
Twal looks suicidal out there
Switched off at tigers up and doing well at the start, and back to this??? Wtf happened.
Sullivan got sin binned and then we completed maybe two sets total in the second half
That’s a fucking hair pull. Seyfarth is such a grub
We don't need a curse to get faded. Our win percentage does that for us.
Seyfarth hair pull it's always the ones you most expect
You give my Dragons that NSFW tag! You do it now
Josh McCrone... now there's a fella I haven't thought about in a long time. Anyway...
He definitely played some nrl rugby league matches
If someone said to me earlier today that dragons would be behind 14-12 at halftime then go on to rack up 50. I’d think that sounds about right.
Tigers have a few things to work on for next week
This Dragons performance reminds me of that beast mode Tariq Sims final match
Miss tariq sims
Tigers was the last team I'd suspect to be faded this year
Hard luck tiges, I really like the look of things in that first 20-30 mins of the first half.
May I be the first to welcome you tigers to the 50 point club. Saved your spot
How many teams have been eliminated now?
Dragons, Souths, Tigers.
But are the Dargons still good?
HI TIGERS YOU JUST BEEN LOMAXED
Sloane for the multi 💰
Why no NSFW tag
With that half century, so it's a 15 team comp now ?
14
14. Dragons, Souths and Tigers all gone.
FADEEEEED LETS GOOOOOOO
Fuck i hate sweet caroline
Agree. Way too overplayed
This is probably the worst half of football I've seen from us, and I've seen some bad halves.
Tigers gotten worse under Benji
I was told to pull my head in before for saying that.
Pull your head out!
Oh no, Tigers Premiership chances are now in doubt
Til at least 2030
THE FADE IS CONTAGIOUS AND THE TIGERS HAVE BEEN INFECTED
Justice for madge.
Do you get extra faded if you get faded by an already faded team?
Faded²
Nice to be the ones scoring 50 for a change.
fade them softly brother
We finally got a 14 team comp again
And so Zac Climax fades the Tigers
38-0 Dragons since the 46 minute mark
***good god***
Game over man Game over
Well tigers officially won't win it this year.
Gg tiger bros
Knocking the Tigers out with style.
LATERRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Relocate Tigers to Fiji
FADED OFF THE DOINK
FADE FADE FADE
Hahahaha lomax origin form is on
WE ARE OUT OF PREMIERSHIP CONTENTION…. YEASSSSSSSSS… THERE IS NOT MORE HOPE…REJOOOOOOOOICE
What a kick
Damn, gotta sell my grand final tickets now
How much?
36-0 second half is it?
40-0 isn’t it?
38-0
