It's been slowly slowly since 2012 and the only catch we've had is the wooden spoon, which is like a monkey on our backs that is proving to be very hard to get rid of.

As someone else already mentioned, it was Tyrone May who narrowly avoided a jail sentence after pleading guilty to four counts of intentionally recording an intimate image without consent.
During his sentencing in January 2020 Magistrate Robyn Denes described May’s behaviour as “reprehensible” and “right on the cusp of a custodial sentence”.

It actually was and it was brother Tyrone May.

I agree, but he was excellent when he filled in on NRL 360 while Bwaif was away, simply because he wasn't Bwaif.

He was poor. We did sign him to play NSW Cup though, he's playing to his ability, the lack of depth in our squad has forced his inclusion. Whoever replaces him needs to be a Goal Kicker.
How is it the WT are so accomodating to other teams player needs during the season..I.e. Joe O to Eels, due to their injury crisis in the forwards, the Nofo to Storm swap when they had an injury crisis in the backs…BUT when we are in injury crisis mode we never secure anyone to help the club out….we just throw in the season towel…
wipe ya bum with silk do you?

You've got that arse backwards.
Parra did us the favour taking a 600k bench player/ reserve grader off our hands.
Thank you Parra. We appreciate your help.

learnt his calling craft on FM radio and it comes across that way always shouting. Absolutely the worst commentator currently

600k now?
I wonder if Joffa knows how much he was on…no one else seems to.

Clearing 600k from our salary cap for a player who respected the Occupational Health And Safety of his opponents enough to gently run at them before collapsing at the first hint of contact, then rising to argue with the tackler and give the defence plenty of time to be ready to smash the next poor Wests' sucker unfortunate enough to be the next hit up.
In defence he was kind enough to assist the ball runner to a pillow top mattress landing all the while respecting their need to not be physically harmed.
This is a debt we will never be adequately able to repay Parra.
I think Wakeham has been pretty good for us, not brilliant-but a great goal kicker

You don't rate Jofa, and that's fine but you don't think it may have been wise to actually replace his roster spot? Because the rainy day NEVER arrives for WT. We just try to compete with an already shit squad and stay well under the Cap.

From Weidler’s column today:
At that point we didn’t say it was locked in, but talk of Sheens not seeing out his two-year deal as head coach won’t go away.
Sheens is said to be perplexed by what is happening at the club, and he is angry that he has lost his right-hand man, Warren McDonnell, his former head of recruitment. The significance of that is McDonnell was regarded as a non-negotiable when it came to Sheens taking the job.
A few weeks ago, Sheens was blindsided by a tweet we put out saying Scott Fulton was heading for the Tigers. Sheens was not part of the negotiations that secured one of the sharpest recruiters in the business. The relationship between Sheens and Fulton will be worth watching.
Fulton’s signing was shrewd but for Sheens it’s a red flag, no matter how the club wants to spin it. Then there was a promise that the recruitment men could work together, given, the story went, that they had strengths in different areas.
Fulton has the full backing of Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe and chairman Lee Hagipantelis — he was their most-prized recruit — so he is in a position of strength. Fulton was always going to survive the recruitment power struggle, and now he has the keys to the playing roster.
What will be interesting is how much say Sheens has. Sheens caught some at the club by surprise with his recent declaration that the club was going to offer much-maligned halfback Luke Brooks a new contract.
Not everyone at the Tigers thinks Brooks is the solution and the future of the club. The Tigers had a crack at signing Shaun Johnson in a clear indication that not everyone wants Brooks to stay. Sheens did not respond when contacted for comment.
Clouds remain over Sheens’ future
We were chastised by rival media for suggesting a few weeks back that Tim Sheenscould be headed for an early exit from his coaching duties at Wests Tigers.At that point we didn’t say it was locked in, but talk of Sheens not seeing out his two-year deal as head coach won’t go away.
