Talau average OK footballer - didn't cement a position at Tigers or Manly, and is not a first-choice at Roosters. But you can't reflect on his stats tonight, it was an absolute shellacking, even my Grandma would have posted good stats against Cowboys tonight. Actually I found it slightly...

Thank you Cowboys for making me feel a bit better about some of the recent Tigers results. Wild to think Cowboys have now both conceded the highest ever NRL-era score, and scored the previous equal-highest ever NRL-era score.

"Ex Wests Tigers player Todd Payten slams his team for abject home performance"

Roberts and Sukkar went to the same school, I think only a year apart, I wonder if they played together.

I've got a long fuse, but geez I cannot say I've never yelled at my wife at least for a moment. Being a robot doesn't help anyone either.

I still suspect Moses, but given the Tigers history, it could be people in the club itself. Would not shock me if it's some dimwit from within HBG. But I still go back to what Pascoe said to me years ago - if it's negative club press, 99% chance its from the manager and you have to think about...

Untrue, but it's a small effect

Of course you exaggerate a little but I was thinking along the same lines today. Benji made a point that he is human, so is AD, they have feelings and are allowed to blow up then work it out. For me really the issue isn't about coach or player decisions this past week - it is up to Benji...

That's not really a genuine comparison. If you had a disagreement with your boss and asked for a day off to get your head straight, which is more accurate to what happened, 100% you would be allowed to do this and return. Workplace protections apply to League as much as any job and there is a...

I have a strong suspicion that one is also about Javon - it puts huge pressure on Javon for a second week if he's starting HB and Doueihi is lock, after everything that's happened.

Other clubs aren't losing all the time. The difference with Tigers and all other clubs is that Tigers have a Finals Monkey that we need to get off our backs. The speculation and innuendo disappears overnight when you are winning, we already saw it early this year. Media and fans love backing a...

Not quite right on the impact - AD did speak about how it affected Benji, the players and particularly fans. He says that was not his intention.

Your comment is interesting - I am reading all these comments but I don't have a huge emotional reaction to this Doueihi situation. I don't think there is a clearly right or wrong way to handle what AD has done. I personally think AD has handled it poorly but I don't think there's a simple...

Sorry the OP comment was "walked out" and I was asking how many walked out under Benji. Most of the guys you list were headhunted by other clubs or asked to leave by Tigers. Tigers turnover is not really different to other low-ranked clubs, which is self-fulfilling because winning clubs don't...

Brings his own puff!
