Cooper Cronk and Mal Meninga slammed the Tigers' 'mind-blowing shortcomings' as they were thrashed by the Broncos, while Tim Sheens conceded his side may struggle to even 'beat the bye'.
Wests capitulated to a fifth straight defeat against Brisbane on Saturday at Suncorp Stadium, failing to even lay a glove on their opponents in a 42-16 hammering.
The Broncos have now their first five games of the season for the first time since 1998, when they went on to beat the Bulldogs in the Grand Final.
Wests, meanwhile, have started the campaign with five straight defeats for the second season running.
