Benji Marshall, a disappointed figure, has hit out at his Wests Tigers squad for their chronic discipline woes following two players being sin-binned in their recent loss to the Dolphins.
The Tigers, known for their rough and tumble style of play, have now seen players sent off the field eight times this season - a statistic that puts them ahead of the pack in all the wrong ways.
It's clear that their lack of discipline, akin to a loose cannon on the field, is causing them to lose their grip on games.
Speaking after the Tigers' devastating 24-12 defeat, Marshall, known for his fiery spirit on the field, didn't hold back in his criticism of his teammates.
"Yeah, pretty frustrated," he expressed.
"We just keep finding ways to shoot ourselves in the foot.
the team puts in so much effort in various areas, only to have it all go to waste due to the own mistakes.
We clawed the way back to 18-12, only to unravel once again."
The Tigers, a team with a storied history in Rugby League, are no strangers to overcoming obstacles - but their current lack of discipline is proving to be their downfall.
Marshall, a veteran of the game, issued a stark warning to his fellow players: "If we can't turn things around, then changes will have to be made.
It's time to shape up or ship out." The clock is ticking for the Tigers, a team once feared on the field but now struggling to find their roar.
