I am starting to think that good game against the Cows will go into Tigers folklore along with Benji's Flick pass in the GF against the Cows and one day could surprisingly pass Benji's FlickYes I recall the one good game he had against the Cowboys at Leichhardt. How did he go in the return clash against Nth QLD in Townsville (70 - 0 loss)
Well some NSW Cup news is we no longer have Rua Ngatikaura, Christian Ma'anaima, Israel Ogden and Jack Boyling, just announced to the North Sydney Bears.
Boyling looked decent.From North Sydney Bears f/b page:

Heavy hitting recruitment continues for our Knock-On Effect NSW Cup team with four strong signings changing their stripes for 2024. Big welcome to Rua Ngatikaura (Hooker), Christian Ma'anaima (Prop), Israel Ogden (Fullback) and Jack Boyling (2nd Rower). Ngatikaura & Ma'anaima both featured in the Wests Tigers top 30 NRL squad in 2023 and bring with them top tier experience. Ogden was placed in the top 5 for kick return metres in the KOE NSW Cup comp in 2023 and ran for a whopping 2750 mtrs. Boyling was named Wests Magpies KOE NSW Cup Players Player 2023.

At least this road is not lonely. Every one here with you.Two wooden spoons and a squad that hasn’t improved. Just being realistic. Been down this road too many times.

NRL 2023: Wests Tigers part ways with cult hero trainer Ronnie Palmer | Saint, Sinner, Shoosh
For the first time in over 50 years, renowned strength and conditioning coach Ronnie Palmer won’t feature in an NRL club’s pre-season after being shown the door by the Wests Tigers.

One of the game’s great characters and most recognisable faces Ronnie Palmer will not feature in a club’s pre-season for the first time in more than 50 years after being let go by Wests Tigers.
Palmer has been a permanent fixture across rugby league clubs since embarking on his first season as a player for the Balmain Tigers back in 1971.
He was told of his shock departure last Friday.
“I feel quite a bit lost,” Palmer said.
“I haven’t been in this situation since I was 21.
“The Tigers told me they weren’t going to renew my contract. These things happen and you have to move on. I feel a little bit let down but you have to cop these things and move on. There’s no sour grapes here.”

After playing 35 games for Balmain, Palmer transitioned into becoming one of rugby league’s pioneering strength and conditioning coaches.
He spent 24 years at the Sydney Roosters before bouncing around Gold Coast, Penrith, Parramatta and, more recently, a homecoming at the Tigers.
He also spent many an Origin campaign over that time as the NSW Blues’ head trainer.
Palmer joined the Tigers ahead of the 2018 season to again assist Ivan Cleary — who he had worked with at the Panthers.
This year he worked in the Tigers’ pathways system and with the NRLW side.
Palmer is adamant he still has plenty to offer an NRL side and has put his hand up to continue his career.
“I know that I have a lot to offer,” Palmer said. “I would still love to be involved. It gets a bit difficult. When you get a bit older they shuffle you along. The old horse is out on the long yard. I know that I’ve got a lot to offer. You just have to try and convince a club of that.”
He's 73 to out things in perspective. I like him
too, but characters like Palmer find it hard to
hang it up. Can't expect a 73 year old to run round
with and condition 18-20+ years olds the whole
year, it's a bit silly. What's more silly is how we're
being painted as the bad guys (again) for not
renewing his contract. Would love to see him
retire and spend more time with his family. Good
luck silver fox, been a staple and icon in the game

I liked his box of magic dust he pulled out against manly at manly and we won.I have nothing but good memories from him since his playing days and his work as a trainer.A genuine Tigers legend as far as i am concerned as he worked his bum off for the Tigers club for around 50 years
He was with the Roosters for 24 of those years....I have nothing but good memories from him since his playing days and his work as a trainer.A genuine Tigers legend as far as i am concerned as he worked his bum off for the Tigers club for around 50 years
Half of that time with Roosters, but just the same, I hope they’ve given him a send off befitting of the legend he is. And also a top of the range BBQ!I have nothing but good memories from him since his playing days and his work as a trainer.A genuine Tigers legend as far as i am concerned as he worked his bum off for the Tigers club for around 50 years
Imagine the silence if they never play first grade anywhereCan you just imagine the uproar on this forum if any of these guys get a call up to play NRL for the Storm.
