    Result not unexpected

    Our current squad is arguably our weakest ever. Most of the guys are reserve grade standard and the young guys, apart from Tedesco, haven't lived up to their hype. I absolutely detest Jason Taylor but I doubt any other coach could do much better with the players at his disposal. Of course...

    Season 2014

    Where does this season rate for you as a supporter? For me, it is on par with 1994 (Balmain) and 2001 as the worst in memory. We've had seasons where we've won fewer games (2003, 2013) but individual performances during those seasons promised brighter times ahead. We all knew that the board was...

    Bojangles to centre

    Anybody who claims that centres and secondrowers are interchangeable in the modern game need look no further than Bodene Thompson. While his form in the second row has been fantastic he has struggled every time he has shifted to centre to cover an injury in the backline. In fact, it has been...

    Checchin

    Am I going crazy or do we cop Matt Checchin every other week? I don't know why but he has a serious axe to grind with the club. I'd rather Luke O'Donnell officiating our games.

    Potter

    Potter''s partiality towards Lulia is approaching the level of Sheens' love for Fitzhenry. What a master stroke playing two backs on the bench! Under Potter's stewardship our attack has gone backwards. Without Farah our only hope of scoring a try is via a deflection or intercept. Stats do not...

    Halftime siren

    Two weeks in a row the Tigers have conceded a try due to the failure of the ref to blow the whistle for halftime. Last week's one was marginal but this week's was an egregious error on the part of Klein. He allowed the Manly guy to play the ball about 10 seconds after time had elapsed. You...

    Benji Marshall

    I went along to the Waratahs v Auckland trial last night, primarily to see how Marshall would adjust to union. Unsurpisingly, he has carried his poor form across, throwing passes along the ground, falling off easy tackles and continually standing out of position. In a vintage Marshall display he...

    T20 Qualifiers in UAE

    Is anybody else following the qualifying tournament for next year's t20 world cup in Bangladesh? I know a lot of you aren't partial to t20 cricket to put it mildly, but I still think it's the best vehicle for spreading cricket's popularity worldwide. The tournament features 16 teams vying for...

    Will 2014 be any better?

    This season has been our darkest on record and I'm sceptical about our chances of improvement in 2014. Like everybody, I'm looking forward to Brooks coming on but I don't think he will be the panacea to all our problems. We still have so many weaknesses across the park and without any big...

    Meaney

    Meaney was an unsung hero yesterday. Apart from one mistake early on, he put in a flawless performance. His positional play, support play and goal line defence were all good. His tackle on Segyaro to prevent a try was particularly impressive, notwithstanding that Penrith scored a few plays later...

    Farah at the end of the game

    Anyone masochistic enough to stick it out to the bitter end as the players were walking off the field? Did you notice how exasperated Farah looked? That, in itself, wasn't remarkable given his competitive nature and the effort he put in during the game which amounted to nothing. But what stood...

    Bojangles Thompson

    Playing him in the centres has been a master stroke. Rocket Reddy was a frontrower in the u8s, surely he's still capable of playing there. Tim sheens would be proud of that selection Harry; a case of thinking outside the box.

    Sorry mate your time is up.

    Marshall and Farah

    Please apologise to the other 15 players. You've embarrassed yourselves. Marshall should be shipped off to Siberia. Farah is entitled to a bad week but he should address his discipline or risk being stripped of the captaincy.

    Nepalese cricket

    The development of cricket in new areas is an interest of mine, particularly in Nepal where I've spent a bit of time. Cricket's popularity in the country has exploded in the past two decades largely thanks to the broadcast of Indian matches on pay TV. These days cricket is ubiquitous on...

    Pursuing players who've been sacked from other clubs

    Every season, without fail, a few high profile or up-and-coming players are sacked from their club for disciplinary reasons. No matter how egregious the player’s misconduct was, if he’s talented enough, he’ll have other clubs courting his signature. Accommodating the player...

    Piss him off to a Bolivian silver mine. What an absolute waste of space

    Wests Tigers v Cowboys (spoilers)

    That's the best we've played all year. I can't remember the Tiges being involved in such a high quality game in ages. Perhaps we bombed a few tries, but the fact we created so many chances is impressive in itself.

    Will we win another game?

    No. 20-0 down to Parra. This is one of the lowest moments in Wests Tigers' history.

    OT: Chris Gayle & Jerome Taylor in the crowd

    Did anybody see these photos from the recent 5th ODI in Jamaica between WI and India? If only Andrew Symonds played for the Windies he could drink to his heart's content. In light of the stand-off between the WCB and Gayle, Samuels was a bit immature to run to the boundary and...
