    R. I. P. Balmain

    Yep,every viable Club adapted to the OHS/RBT/Pokies/Smoking etc laws,our Club has been poorly run for Decades with lots of rumours of Staff with fingers in the till and this was Decades after Humpreys. It already been mentioned the challenges the Club had with the changing demographic in the...

    El Packer

    He's going Ok but not having the impact he had early in the Season,he and Matulino were probably the 2 best Forwards in the Comp. for the first 6 or so games. That's to be expected when they are targeted,like in the early games, and getting smashed every game. Hope Matutlino,in particular,can...

    Benji needs back up

    Yeah,but how much more can Reynolds battered body stand,i can't see him lasting another 3 Seasons. Benji is going Ok but needs Brooks to be more consistent and attract attention away from his(Benji) plays. Too many poor decisions,and especially grubber kicks, by Brooks in the Newcastle game.

    Farah Axed

    As posted on here and other Forums it looks like he's doing a Benji and coming home.I doubt it will this year thou.,better to see it out at Souths.

    Taylor: Benji solves key problems for us

    FWIW i agree,if you look back at Benji's time with us from around 2008/9 forward he always starts the season well,the accolades are rolled out,he's on all the Footy Shows etc. but his form slowly drops off as the season progresses for what ever reason.His time with Potter is a good eg. of...

    I was unwanted by Potter: Marshall reveals cause for 2013 Tigers exit

    I'm not so sure,someone(Benji?) is already sounding out the 'çlub' on him returning to a Admin/Coaching position in 2019.

    Matt Nable commentating

    Yeah,i can handle 'momentum' thou.,its when the commentators start throwing in 'pressure' every few minutes that i start to loose interest.

    TIGERS Rozelle Development

    Yeah,absolute tragedy,i agree with all of the above,there are several 'Directors'(who couldn't be trusted to put out garbage bins') and a couple of ex-Balmain players that should be ashamed of themselves. There were members at the time that predicted all this folly,once the Club gave up...

    McQueen upbeat despite Tigers coach switch

    Yeah ,great player if fit ,Souths sure missed him. Still a gamble thou.,like Ballin & Reynolds there is a question mark on him surviving a tough season but time will tell. Most online bookies have us Fav. for the spoon so some tempting odds out there for the Tiges to make the 8.

    More 'was' the last 5 or 6 years but looks like he will have a different attitude with us this time around.

    Oils

    Love the 'Óils' but saw them live at the Northern(Great Northern?) Hotel in Byron back in the 1980's and they were terrible.We drove down from the Gold Coast for the night and it was a shocker of an evening,they performed in that big barn like room the Hotel had back then,Garrett was pissed or...

    AN EMOTIONAL Benji Marshall has opened up on his rollercoaster rugby league career & the return “home” to Wests Tigers

    I'm not sure that bit about the Bronco's contract is 100% true but good to see him end his career here. I think the Union experience was a good one for him as far as his character goes,hurts at the time to have your ego bruised and come to the realisation your not as slick/good as you once were...

    One Foot in Grave Forum

    A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick up his check. \ \ \ He marched straight up to the counter and said, "Hi. You know…, I just HATE drawing welfare. I'd really rather have a job." \ \ \ The social worker behind the counter said, "Your timing is excellent. We just got a job...

    Manly Salary cap issue

    The particular task force may end but the Info. they collected will be still active for years to come,may be used at a later date in a similar criminal investigations if they decide to target individual Crims. or players taking bribes or avoiding Tax.
