The Wests Tigers were left reeling after a shocking defeat to Cronulla, with only one player managing to run for over 100 meters, a statistic that highlighted the team's struggles.
This disappointing performance has raised questions about coach Benji Marshall's leadership, with the pressure mounting as the Tigers face the possibility of yet another wooden spoon.
The Tigers have now conceded a whopping 138 points in their last three games against top teams, highlighting their defensive weaknesses.
Despite the Sharks being without key player Nicho Hynes, they managed to completely outplay and out-hustle the Tigers.
Marshall didn't hold back in his criticism, pointing out the players' lack of effort and attitude on the field.
"I've got to apologize to the fans," Marshall said.
"We were outplayed in every aspect of the game, and it's unacceptable.
We need to show more heart and determination if we want to turn this season around.
the performance was simply not good enough."
With the pressure mounting and the season slipping away, the Tigers will need to regroup quickly if they want to salvage anything from this year.
The players must step up and show their true colors on the field, or risk facing further disappointment.
