Always had a dig Tristan. Unfortunately at NRL level he could be outclassed and out muscled. To his credit he was never out enthused. Wish him all the best.

Fonua has always been one of those young middle forwards that you think is going to make it in the NRL. He can bend the line and is our No. 1 metre grabbing middle forward. When he re-signed 2 years ago I was confident he would stick solid despite the noise about him heading back home to...

What? You mean Haumole and Big Sam are congenital twins?!

Remember this well. Late 1960's and early 1970's. We would all line up in a queue as per the photo. I had a grey Commonwealth Bank deposit book. It sat inside a plastic cover with a metal push down clasp on the front. I would place my 20c on the teacher's desk and she would stamp my pass book...

A clutch re-signing in more ways than one. At 22 years of age, Sam can be the cornerstone of our pack for years to come. A quick analysis of the age of our forwards reveals that Api, Twally, Tyson Frizell, Jayden Brailey, Kurt Mann, Royce Hunt, and Bunty Afoa are all in their 30's. All of these...

I'm very happy with this signing. Tyson is a no-nonsense footballer who does not know how to take a backward step. The 3 forwards signings of Frizzell, Mann and Brailley offer experience as well as a bit of flexibility with our forwards squad. Both Mann and Twally can play lock, Frizzell can...

Sorry to hear your sad family news TS. Bing Pringle was my favourite player as well. I had the plastic number 8 stitched onto the back of my Tigers jersey. Neil always seemed to be the second best lock running around in those days. Of course Ron Coote had a mortgage on the Kangaroos jumper.

More than happy to see you enjoyed one of my posts. I can't recall the number of times I have woken up looking forward to your humorous comedy posts in the ''Things That Make You Laugh'' thread. Keep up the great work. I do recall venturing to a game at the old Cumberland Oval in 1977. The crowd...

At 7.5% commission, and cash money no wonder GNR's laughing. I'm jealous!

One of my favourite players during my teen age years. In 1975 Trevor was often used as the outside running decoy by Chicka Lockwood. Trevor would make a wide run on the right of Lockwood. Lockwood would dummy to Trevor and flick it inside to Bing Pringle who scored so many tries off it. It was...

Brilliant stuff once again BWG. I particularly like the way that you identify each player as a left, right, or middle. This has become an important part of the modern day game. Today when we watch a game we can see a particular team's preference for where they want to throw the pill. We can also...

Haha. One of your best LT.

Brilliant once again BWG. Love your stuff. When I read your detailed posts it's as if I am on the rub down table in Wests Tigers Jersey Flegg. So close to the action in our pathways. Thanks again mate.

I do think we have more pressing positional needs in our team than another halfback. However there does seem to be quite a bit of mail going around that this may be the case. If so, the fact that no name has been put forward may point to the possibility that the player in question is playing...

Keep up the great work BWG. I'm sure there are many of us on this forum that appreciate you investing the best part of your weekend watching and analysing our junior pathway games. The information and insight you and other pathways contributors provide us is invaluable to those of us who are...
