Order of Australia

After dragging myself out to Cambo tonight and watching the tigers run around I reckon Farah should get the orders of Australia for work with the disabled. Every week he carry's this team around like a sack of spuds on his back. Okay their are plenty of try hards, but gee their is a lack of football brains outside Farah.

Every week I keep saying to my mate "they might click tonight" and every week they fall over the line on the back of Farah or go belly up.

Sheens is the man who must take the blame, they now play like a team that is scared to lose rather than a teams that wants to win. The skill factor has all but gone out the window.

Its probably to late to blood and stick with a no7 from the lower grades,shame, but Sheens wasnt going to gamble with his 2011 contract. He only has to get us to no 8 to get the gig for 2011 so he isnt going to take any chances. We will make the eight but really we have Neville no chance against the better sides if poor Robbie is left to run the show on his Pat Malone

They way they played this week wasn't too different to last week against the Broncos. They play like they just met each other 5 minutes before the game. It was interesting to watch it on TV right after the Roosters v Souths game. I hate to say it, but both of those forward packs were far superior to the Tigers in both attack & defence. Anyway, you're right about Farah.

Benji is the problem at the moment with ball in hand. He is offering very predictable rubbish.

Farah looked as good as he did because the pigs dominated the Titans

Our forwards won us this game, big time.

Benji has always been and will always be, a genuine five-eighth and will never ever be capable of being a halfback. Farah is the best halfback this club has had since Prince left, and he''s a bloody hooker!

We need a decent halfback, who can take the organising pressure off Farah and Benji, has a good kicking game and can set up a few plays every now and then if need be.

Scary as it seems, but the best halfback for us that is still playing, imo anyway is Kimmorley. He constantly kicks to corners and more often than not makes the defenders have to turn around and pick the ball up from kicks, or stand still and wait for it to tricle to them along the ground.

This kills off any momentum on the kick return and out more mobile forward pack would be able to get downfield and put the defensive pressure on early. In attack, he'd do little, being first receiver means Benji is playing a bit further back from the defensive line where he performs better.

Surely we will sign a rep 7 this year- Sheens has said he will sign another rep player but will wait to see how the youngsters perform this year as to what type of player we get.... I guess timmy being injured doesn't help but clearly we are short at 7 ....


Kimmorley would be a perfect fit for us- doesn't have to create anything just have solid defence, great kicking game and a good head.... he ticks all the boxes

It really wore down on Minicello and Myers though Eddie and Bailey. Took all of the sting out of there runs and Minicello was benched very early.

I hate the tactic to but last night it paid dividends.

BTW loved Heighno running over the top of Prince all night and Lawrence mullered Bird too
