Has your care factor waned?

[stryker]

Yep, we don’t have a good team, however 2 shithouse teams are going to make the finals this year. May aswell be our shithouse one

100%.
Parra did us no favours this evening.
May only be able to drop the Penrith game

Don't do it to yourself guys, this team won't be playing finals. Unfortunately peahearted performances (especially against Cowboys, Warriors and Titans) earlier this year has sealed our fate.

Yep, expecting the worst.

Would not be surprised if we lose to the dogs twice.

I agree. This is the every year late hope that gets dashed. It's not just the pea hearted performances so far either. We are going to put a couple more in this season as well.

Manly will put an end to any false hope that is lingering

 

[stryker]

I do have some optimism, simply because we have a weak draw and somewhat easy run home.
That said, this squad are flat trackers and fold like cheap suits against any type of opposition. Allowing Brisbane to score so many tries was pretty shameful defence.
Lets see if they dig in against Manly…the way they apply themselves this weekend will speak volumes.

Your club must stop chasing and signing the quick fix and focus heavily on the junior base out Liverpool Campbelltown.there is amazing talent there .yes it will take a few years but the base built will have a steady building to build over it

Won’t happen whilst they pander to the Rozelle element.
18 rounds gone and only 2 games @ Campbelltown

Bullshit. Melbourne do it really really well. The only Melbourne junior I've heard of is Fonua.

Shove your West vs Balmain shit up your backside.

It's not that simple. Sure we have to purchase the right juniors and try and develop them into quality first graders. At the same time if we can purchase good players at fair dollars we should.

The marquee signings aren't really worth it though. You overpay and f**k up. I think a guy on another thread listed down what happens when clubs get marquee signings. I think typically because they pay overs the club itself goes backwards.

Penrith bought players. They've just come good predominantly from juniors but I bet they bought a lot of them from outside the Penrith district.

Those areas outside our district are in our development zone we have academy set in the bush areas .development is the key

Probably but still a glimmer

I agree with this. Pick up quality juniors. It's cheaper and better longer term than the alternative. You have to do both though. At the end of the day it's all about managing your cap along with under the table payments.

this is quiet possibly the biggest myth in rugby league

 

[Vozzy]

When it feels like the Wests Tigers are taking on all the other NRL teams plus the referees and all the journos the more it makes me get behind the team. That rubbish about Brooks and Canberra was even told not true by the NRL that there has never been a transfer request for that to happen makes me more eager to get behind the team.

Like it was more likely Canberra asking for Brooks then we suggested Jack Whighton not the other way around.

Then they write articles about how we shouldn't sign someone like PanJr then when we don't they say we missed out on him.

Obviously we are targeting players and if they are the right price then we say yes if not we say no. I'm with Andrew Johns for once where he said we don't need to sign Dale Finucine but sign the next 22-23y/o Dale Finucine and if we have to wait til end of year where we have Packer/MBye/Roberts/BJ off our books plus Reynolds I'm happy to wait then.

More signing a like Stefano, the kid is a weapon. Can't wait to see him kick on

 

[Das Hassler]

The one thing that has me very confident of making the 8 is that i backed out of laying a few k on them making it during the preseason....i do ok picking a winner UNLESS there's a bet involved. .so now of course we'll make it.

Our near future Payne Haas if he keeps his head screwed on.

So how would you fix us we then if we don't invest in juniors in the South West ? Serious question.

ah, one of those classy blokes who can’t string an argument together without abuse
