Season 2025

[Tiger05]

If only LL was taller as he could be a sensational fullback.Hes tough & his carries are intense..

He was in the juniors. Maybe he can make it at NRL level. I forgot about him in the spine as well. I can't see that happening this year though. He could find a spot in the outside backs though.

 

[Tiger05]

I figured he had to be an eels fan....as for Brown being part of "arguably the best halves pairing in the nrl"....really?!

Moses and Brown are a pretty good halves pairing. They also have Isaiah Longi and Brendan Hands in their spine. Maybe these guys will be guns but they are completely unproven.

 

[Tiger05]

I think it’s good that they are not rating us, just hope the clubs are as well.
As for Bula, he is another season older and had injury and a shit team in front of him, this is his year to shine.
I think he still managed to be our highest try scorer the last two years?

They ranked us 6th. That is a pretty high rating. It's also just a BS opinion piece.

There is a lot to like about Bula.

We are certainly an untried spine.
But 2x SOO players, 1x the best young halves prospect on the planet and 1x still young but doing OK at FB (with Tito as a backup) isn't a bad spine.
Is there 5 better?

I can't see how you rate Parra higher than us. I prefer our spine to the Cowboys spine. I think we look pretty even compared to Penrith. I think Brisbane and the Storm are better than our spine but you never know. Api and Luai are gun players.

.....and we beat the Panthers twice recently without the star backs who are arriving so it certainly looks promising for us.
Does that song sound familiar though.
Parra and imploding and if the Panthers can do it all again with more stars leaving then you have to ask yourself..how good is Ivan. We were improving under him but fell apart again when he left.

 

[Nutz]

We’ve certainly got some very talented backup at 6 7 & 9 in Latu & TDS.If only LL was taller as he could be a sensational fullback.Hes tough & his carries are intense..As ive said b4 I reckon by mid season this kid could very well tie down a wing spot.

I'm with you, I rate the kid highly. I like players who gun it without second guessing.
Hey Ted, did you purposely wrote LL because you couldn’t remember how many i's are in the name?

 

[Nutz]

There's a lot of competition for wings with..
Turuva, Skelton (probably end up as a rampaging forward down the track) and Staines.
All likely to be the main contenders, but Luke Laulilii is a dynamic kid who can't be overlooked. He had a great debut before being knocked out by a careless tackle.
I've seen him play fullback and centre and was awesome, so he will add great depth.
He's still a young fella with a lot to learn so reserve grade beckons for '25.

It’s certainly a difficult name to spell correctly but it’s a name we r going to see a heck of a lot of excelling in the NRL as this kid is something special.

Great coach but terrible roster manager in our case. I just think he didn't care.

I'd have DCE and Brooks over Moses and Brown any day of any weekend. Moses is right up there no denying it but I just don't see what the fuss is about with Brown...as for 1.2 m a year...tell 'I'm e's dreamin'

I would argue that no Wests Tigers coach left the club in a worse spot than Cleary. Yes, our results were okay but his attempt at building a roster was absolutely disastrous on a whole range of fronts. It was a mess that has taken us years to recover. It plagued Madge's tenure here without a doubt.

I thought Brown was going to shine when Moses was injured last year. I was so wrong.....he was quite poor without Moses holding his hands.

He was focussed on coaching with son. When it was obvious that he couldn't do that with the Wests Tigers...offsky

And smart enough to know what they had up there.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

@macnaz and @sensesmaybenumbed always like to see the official stuff crash through the forum roof and land unceremoniously onto the floor.

Another mess to clean up I guess.

Look, I'll be honest. I renewed my membership, but it was the bare minimum.

It’s a total rip off this year in terms of gifts.

I think the dog got more with his pet membership.

But you got Luai, Tito, Skelton, Bird, Hunt & May.
