Wishing all of our Wests Tigers fans and forumers a wonderful, happy and healthy festive season. May your stockings be filled with goodies. Love to all. 🎄🎉🍻🐅

Not sure it was a 5 year deal. Thought Benji still had 2 more seasons and the deal was for a further 3 years. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few clauses relating to performance allowing the contract to be terminated that suit HBG and or Benji.

If you were Luai, would you remove them???

Thanks K7. Seems that as the dust settles we may come out of this in reasonable shape as long as HBG can remain in the background and stay out of future WT progress and development. I am sure Richo wasn’t an angel but he just may have been the protagonist that we needed and Mielekamp may now be...

The outcome, if it actually happens as reported, seems to be a desperate solution to ease the backlash and appease Vlandys. It’s not a long term solution unfortunately and we haven’t seen the end of the rubbish from HBG. I hope Benji is extended and that settles down the playing group so we can...

I am hoping the Benji media talk is just headline grabbing crap from the usual suspects. I don’t think Benji is going to walk and can’t imagine that HBG are that stupid to sack him (although they do seem pretty bloody stupid!). The way things have gone to date - you’d be silly not to expect the...

Looking at the other 16 teams and where they stand in terms of roster quality, level of development, standards of play and player group culture, coaching team etc, it is hard to see us jumping up the ladder much next season. The likes of Storm, panthers, broncos, roosters, and Raiders are all...

Yep never seen a guy hobble around and look hurt so much - when he hasn’t got the ball.

Second season of Landman recently started. Interesting series for all the Global Warmers.

Averillo would be a handy squad member in my opinion. However I’d rather a guy who can play dh for 20 mins and tackles well as a middle. Cam Mciines type would be good.

Shame about the blue Zurich logos.

I am not sure that May has the skills or the leg speed to be creative enough for our team at 13. The position requires the timing of a genuine ball player and some footy smarts and as much as i like him i think we are better served leaving him to work on his aggression and offload in the front...

Yep he’s at his best when he gets space and a confused or broken D. He gets that when we have momentum and our forwards are on top, or when Api is darting around creating hesitation. I actually thought Api ran less from dh the longer the season went. If Api can’t get a rest during the game...

I thought he played pretty well in a team that started strongly but ran out of steam and got man handled at the end. He had some individual bright moments, threw a poor pass, missed a tough tackle on Erin Clarke, but talked and directed his team well. Showed up in D all over the paddock often...

Bit like our Tigers!
