Have we hit rock bottom yet or will the rot and decline continue?

Thought?

We've got another 2 more years of Tolman and while Hasler is still coach Tolman will start for us.

In those 2 years other teams are going to get better, they're going to have younger, stronger, more mobile forwards and we'll have Tolman

So no, we haven't hit rock bottom, it's going to get worse.

They may have been rubbish last night, but at the ground you could see they were trying. When they give that up we will really hit the bottom....

really?

look at the pic in my sig.

I can't bare the thought of Hasler for another 2 seasons. He'd better be gone before the offseason starts... The board should have listened to Baa and Turvey.

You know, I can live with Tolman being in the side, but not him & Graham. One of them has to go. Our pack is one of the most dominated in the comp these days. We could achieve better results with having players like Fualolo, Taulau, Saunders and To'omaga in there just running straight and using the money on good, fast ballplaying backrowers. It almost seems like Bennett has it right. You don't pay big money for props.

They BOTH need to go, Tolman and Graham. They're past their used by date, Graham from age, and Tolman the game has past him by.

Fualalo was much better than both when he came on.

Even Kasiano was better than both considering that this year has been Kasiano's worst

We got dominated at the start of every game for the past 2 years because of Tolman and Graham

Im sorry but a very select few are trying, just look at the tries we have let in last night especially and the previous week against penrith. Fumbles gifting tries, laziness at marker and dropping of tackles (alvaro try).

I guess it is easy to assume that, but I was watching them live and off the ball and they were really dirty on the mistakes they were making and they were getting into each other. I genuinely think they were trying out there (Alvaro's try excepted), no doubt too hard and the pressure to get a win is getting to them and they are making fundamental errors leading to too much possession for the opposition.

Not rock bottom but the lowest we have been since our 04 premiership (lower than 2008) . We're on our way down though. I predict that we will truly hit rock bottom in 3 years time.

Tigers hit rock bottom this year and that's five years after their dictator was deposed.

In my view the club erred in renewing Hasler's contract. The outside coach experiment failed and Dymock (who is part of the problem) should have been given the season to determine if he is fit to coach a first grade side.

The next coach should be a Canterbury man - or at the very least has played for Canterbury and has the credentials to coach.

As long as the Des-aster is in charge the hole will get ever deeper

How sad is it that even putting in and doing their best, we are the worst performed team in the comp over the last two months???
