    Spineless

    Now that we have had some improvement in the forwards, obviously its the spine that needs fixing (desperately). We have hooker squared away, and with Laurie, Staines, Brooks, Wakeman all off contract this year, I reckon this is where the club makes its next moves. I thought AD was off contract...

    Interesting omission.

    Cam Smith saying Tigers should make a play for Gutho

Smith saying we should make a play for Gutho. We have the dollars, he would be a great on field leader. Pity just...

    Current shit storm

    Ive posted less here the last few weeks as I'm slowly losing interest in this shite bag of a club. But just like in the Godfather "they pull me back in" I think the recent media reports about a soft underbelly here are what we have all been saying for years. I do hope that Ennis's comments...

    Brimson?

    According to the Mole we are preparing an offer for AJ Brimson from the Titans...

    What I dont underatand

    I ran some numbers and they dont make sense. The NRL salary cap is $9.6mln and minimum wage is $105,000 (which I think covers development players as well). We have four development players at the moment. Maths: 2 x $1mln =$2mln 5 x $500k = $2.5mln 4 x $350k = $1.4mln 11 x $250k =...

    Moving forward

    Madge has kinda shot himself in the foot of bad luck by promoting a guy to captain that is out of form. He cant drop the guy and we are stuck with him. Keeping in mind we have a shithouse backline, but the skeleton of a good young forward pack, and that we have I think 12 players off contract...

    Perspective

    Interesting perspective. Nice to read about the defence as well: This comes from: http://www.nospam47.com/au/league/news/wests-tigers-2018-season-robbie-farah-benji-marshall-salary-cap-fans-defence-nrl-ladder/6ny56t37zziq19ftqu0wjb2at SALARY CAP The Tigers' cap is more or less in tip-top...

    Forwards...

    The problem with our forwards is obviously not the players. They got the job done at the start of the season. I think the problem with our pack is the balance. A modern day pack needs a combination of hard runners, offloaders and strong defenders. It also needs a mix of middle and edge...

    Dear Mr James Tedesco, we understand

    Dear James, We understand. You left for less, or more money because you wanted to win a premiership. We understand that. You left our club, your junior club which hasn't seen premiership success since 2005 to join one of our oldest rivals, who has won just a single premiership since then...

    The merry-go-around begins

    So I just heard that Myles has been released by Manly to join the storm immediatly - perhaps an early salary cap clearing move? It may have just begun. Chooks have also released SKD. Looks like the drugs thing is also the same as above. No hard drugs in his system is the word after the tests...

    Out with the old.....

    So in round numbers, from memory, we offered this: Brookes (originally) $600k Moses $950k Woods $950k Teddy $1mln. We re-signed Brookes at $550k Replaced Woods with Matulino $450k Replaced Moses with Reynolds for $850k Instead of paying Moses for potential we are paying Reynolds for SOO...

    Half time against the slime

    How things change.. We are well off our best and nowhere near as crisp as last week and yet - we are winning at half time. Getting smacked in the penalties, dropping ball all over the place and half time as are 6 in front. Knock on call against Teddy at the death of the half was laughable...

    Interesting comments from the suiters

    Fox Sports has just had a couple of interesting interviews. Des Hasler has just confirmed that the Dogs have NOT made offers to Woods and Tedesco. Hasler also said that he wanted to keep Graham. You would think if he wants to keep Graham that Woods and Teddy arent really on the radar...

    Lay of the land

    OK - so lets look at this from Clearys perspective. He got a job as a coach and his main remit was to rebuild the team (not resign the existing team). We put offers on the table for all four - signed one - then took the offer off for Moses (according to the Tigers). The Tigers figured that...

    Well this is novel

    First time since the merger we have a real coach that isnt on the way out of his career. Taken two crappy rosters to finals. DalyM coach of the year. In touch with players. I hope to god the board is serious about letting him have control over things. This week is a right off, lets see...

    We are being linked to a lot of players.

    So, normally we get linked to players and they sign somewhere else because whats actually happened is that the manager has used us to put up the players price. Given that we have so many players (some would call star players, but regardless they are our most expensive) I would have thought its...

    Its not going to happen overnight..... but

    OK - so the suspense is kinda killing me. We have a clear roster and apparently have already signed McQueen. Given the talk of Whare and Matulino coming across, And given that Garreth Widdop has just said he would test the open market. Its not a HUGE stretch to say we could have: 1 Teddy...

    Cleary to start Monday?

    Apparently: http://www.5thtackle.com/ivan-cleary-agrees-to-terms-with-wests-tigers/ Looks like he has full control and a decent length contract. IF this is what happens Im OK - and I dont care what hes getting paid.
