    Match Discussion: Round 10 vs Newcastle @ Scully Park, Tamworth / Kamilaroi

    On paper, this match is winnable. Although the Knights seemed to play pretty well against the Warriors, the Warriors didn't throw much at the Knights in attack. The outcome will come down to how inventive our halves are, which in turn depends on who they are. If Sullivan replaces Sezer, I won't...

    Match Discussion: Round 9 vs Canterbury @ Accor Stadium, Sydney Olympic Park / Wanngal

    There's one good that's come out of the loss. Sezer is out for four weeks, so now Benji is forced to play Fainu in the halves and carry an actual hooker on the bench. This means we won't have to put up with Fainu's terrible service from dummy half and Fainu can focus on his natural game. If he's...

    2024 R7 Sat - Penrith 22-6 Wests Tigers @ Carrington

    He's just filling in until Luai comes across.

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Penrith @ Carrington Park, Bathurst / Wiradjuri

    That's the benefit of consistently being a top side. You get the rub of the green regularly, particularly against the lower ranked sides. There was a couple of howlers in this one. Brad not being marched and the Sezer knock on were particularly egregious, but that's got nothing to do with your...

    Rest of NRL

    Or it could end a player's career, like the way Ben Smith rubbed out Taneila Tuiaki. Smith wasn't sanctioned and then he did the same thing to Nathan Fien in the first game of the 2010 season, breaking his fibula and dislocating his right ankle. The hipdrop crackdown might be fifteen years too...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    That's kind of my point. I can't see us making the eight. We still need at least another eleven wins to be playing finals football and after that performance against the Dragons, I don't see where the wins are coming from. We might be losing our best forward next year too then.

    Match Discussion: Round 7 vs Penrith @ Carrington Park, Bathurst / Wiradjuri

    Agree with the wingers being an issue at the moment. I'd also prefer to give Naden a shot there too rather than centre when we have To'a and Faataape to a do a job there. We haven't seen Lobb or Alaimalo at all in the top grade at all and with Tupou moving on, we'll need someone to starts sets...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Apparently, all that needs to happen is for Madge to leave him out of Origin for the first two matches and he's a free agent.

    Hastings

    That'd be like brining Mat Head back after his second stint with the Dragons. It was pretty clear that Hastings was on the outer at the Knights as soon as they signed Jack Cogger. I reckon if he stays in the NRL it would have to be at the Bulldogs or maybe the Dolphins. Wouldn't be surprised...

    Season 2024

    That's quite a fitting description of Jamal Idris. We got a mere 5 games out of him. Jason Cayless and Matt Ballin played 3 games each, but Ballin's stint was over the period of 2 years. At least we got 10 games out of Ray Cashmere.

    3-2-1 Rd 3 Wests Tigers V Sharks

    Might be helping Johnny Cronk with D.

    3-2-1 Rd 3 Wests Tigers V Sharks

    10 years ago sounds about right for Keith Galloway. I missed the footage, so I'm just guessing here.

    Was it Gareth Ellis?

    Season 2024

    That was a great big four. Right up there with Mbye, Reynolds, Packer and Matulino.

    Random Tigers articles from the media

    The irony is that the BTR podcast demonstrated we actually had more honesty and transparency before. For example, we actually knew who the board members were. It's been three months since the old board was sacked and the new board appointed, but we still don't know the name of the Magpies FC...

    Season 2024

    Anasta and the rest of the media are on Brooks's dick for a reason. They are taking a bet each way. If Brooks goes well, they get to say that they were always big fans of him, they've supported him all along and that all he needed was a change of scenario. The redemption stories get churned...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I just finished watching the second half of the interview. In it, Justin confirms that he never was given full responsibility, particularly when it came to the coach and recruitment of players. There were always delegations he was not given. The whole thing is two hours, but the departure from...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    This is the money quote right here: We've known for years that the position of CEO at the Wests Tigers is a lame duck one. Ever since Scotty Longmuir got the sack for trying to impose some accountability in the football department, we've known that every CEO has been operating in a straight...

    Season 2024

    The depth we have in the halves seems a lot better than last year, but I have the opposite concern. That we'll get some measure of on-field success and then the crusade to fix the governance problems will be abandoned and left to fester.

    Wests Tigers Coaches 2024

    I reckon it'll be good cop, bad cop. Robbie will dish out the sprays and Benji will hand out the cuddles afterwards.
