    Chris

    With a weight drop and a focus on fitness coming back is centre an option for him again? Might have a bit more of that speed back in the legs carrying a bit less weight and his defense was always great.

    ROWDY Chris Lawrence.

    Just on the Rowdy love train here...in complete contrast to A LOT of players at the moment, the guy is a complete clean-skin. I don't think he has served any time for suspension and I can't recall a time where he has even been referred to the judiciary. Add to this he pretty much never gives...

    Match Discussion: Round 20 vs Bulldogs @ ANZ Stadium

    I think I would prefer to have Sue and Eiso cover the 13 role with Taylor pushing wider and Grant coming in for Rochow. Chee Kam, Taylor and Garner cover the edges (with Taylor able to play 80) This way we have a bit more size up the middle and Garner still has a bit of pressure off him. I also...

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Raiders @ Campbelltown Stadium

    Well sh*t. Now we see ET at hooker for half the game. Tough ask for Gamble on debut with poor service and not having an attacking dummy half to keep defenders interested. This game is going to hinge on Brooks steering the entire team around solo.

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Raiders @ Campbelltown Stadium

    For sure it has been an issue with Robbie. I think this was due to him feeling like he had to make everything happen himself. On one hand it shows a lack of faith in his teammates but on the other hand we only have to look at the absolute dross he had to play with...Anasta, Balir, Moltzen...

    Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Raiders @ Campbelltown Stadium

    I can see the reason for bringing Gamble into the side. MM is unable to play a full 80 at hooker which means that Reynolds will have to cover there for some portion of the game (thankfully meaning the end to ET at 9). With Benji out that means we need a cover for 6 hence Gamble. Tui could...

    M.W-Zelezniak signs with WT

    I assume like catching a fish rather than finding a body?

    Match Discussion: Round 9 vs Sharks @ Leichhardt Oval

    Kev is a depth signing and that is it. He was quite poor at fullback and at least one try against us was directly due to his lack of positional play. He also refused to pass to his left in any of the backline plays at the end there. I can't fault him too much however as he has not trained at...

    Key stats

    The good 1, 2, 4 and 5 are all basically because of Nofo and Teddy. As others have said, we can get down the end of the field to score but our halves can't convert. Issue being our halves play left and right, and don't link up for any plays. You just watch what side Teddy goes to and that is...

    Who do we need to recruit in 2018?

    I was going to say something similar. Brookes has looked great at times when Moses wasn't playing. I'm pretty sure that Moses calls the ball all the time and Brookes doesn't have the confidence/mouth to overcall. Playing behind a beaten pack and with a totally new left combination probably...

    Woods apparently offered 1 million a year for 4 years by Dogs

    Bet you're a beardless baldy. Remember kids, if your dad can't grow a beard you've got two mums. On topic, Woods is a great prop and regularly carries our pack. Makes heaps of post contact metres, has quick play the balls and offloads when it is on. Having said that, he is not worth $1m a year...

    Idris

    I have always been a big fan of Lawrence. He plays a clean game, ran great lines, had speed and power when hitting the line and hit hard in defence. Unfortunately he just doesn't seem to have that anymore. His hands have been woeful of late, seemingly good for at least one dropped ball without...

    Tigers on the Hunt for New Coach.

    Not sure what Folkes is doing but I would be happy with him as well, possibly over Toovey.

    Awesome Tigers podcast - Fifth and Last

    I think that we would miss Woods more than you would think. Sure, he doesn't pull off huge hits or send players flying with 90 mile an hour runs, but that isn't his game. He plays long minutes, makes plenty of safe tackles and works well in the wrestle, makes a lot of post contact metres, is...

    Round 1

    I would have MCK in the 17 to cover the left side incase Idris is a bit underdone. Essentially having Idris, Lawrence and MCK rotate on that left side. Aloai can cover prop and right side. Ideally we wouldn't have to cover a hooker on the bench.Anyone know any 80 minute hookers of origin quality?

    2017 Squad

    I tend to agree on everything here except for Naiqama at right centre. I think that Idris, Sue and Nofo on one side of the field with Moses just looks stronger on paper. You only really have to get a defender one on one with any of those three as runners close to the line and we are likely...

    Random Tigers articles from the media

    I don't see any of Matt Ballin, Tim Grant, Jamal Idris, Kyle Lovett, Kevin Naiqama, David Nofoaluma, Ava Seumanufagai and Tim Simona being absolute must signs for 2018. Balin is in his last seasons and we have high hopes for Liddle being our future no.9. Tim Grant is solid and had some strong...

    2017 Squad

    Having Sue and Idris on the right would give Moses two big units as passing options. Would also give him more room to run the ball if there were two genuine threats next to him to keep the defence occupied.

    Its official - Farah to leave

    Telerag is a shitty tabloid and that story will sell papers. I don't like them for it, but I totally see why they run those stories. I personally hope that Robbie kills it at the Rabbits. With reduced pressure and a new environment we may see a renaissance in his career. I am also torn...

    Match Discussion: Round 26 vs Raiders @ Leichhardt Oval

    Probably the most one sided and terrible refereeing I have seen in quite a while. For the record, I thought that was a penalty try. The player kicked at a hand in control of the ball, he wasn't sliding into get under the player and he wasn't trying to put his leg under the ball. The rest was...
