    Wests Tigers Lower Grade Venues

    I was thinking of driving down from the Central Coast to watch the Tigers this Saturday and was hoping to make a day of it by seeing some lower grade games. This is impossible because all the other fixtures are being played at Lidcombe Oval, one of them (Jersey Flegg, I think) on Sunday. I know...

    TEAM LIST Round 2 Vs NQ Cowboys

    Maybe but Murray showed excellent form in the trials and deserved his place. Same with Bunty. Form and effort should take precedent over salary and potential.

    TEAM LIST Round 2 Vs NQ Cowboys

    I would have had Bunty starting for a bit of vigor and no nonsense running. Pole is unreliable in defense and there always seems to be an error in him. He should be on the bench with Seyfarth dropping out. As many have said, Seyfarth constantly gets bent when running the ball and jolts the...

    Starford To’a #253

    Herbert most likely or, less likely, Makasini moved in and Skelton on wing. Re Toa, what an absolute crock, and already his extension is looking like wasted cash. I'm actually a fan of his because, when fit and motivated, he can be a weapon but, overall, he is far too inconsistent and injury prone.

    2026 - Tigers Pre-Season Video

    I found the video interesting as a window into the pre season training regime and as an insight into the personalities of a few young players, Benji looked and sounded very focused and direct. I hope it resonates with the players and, like a few others have said, it actually bears fruit during...

    LIVE GAME Round 7 vs. Panthers

    Good post. I agree with all of what you say. Bula does have some skills and positive attributes but there is no way that he is the gamebreaker the commentators like to gush about. He has solid pace and footwork and he is particularly reliable under the bomb and in cover defence. Good. However...

    3-2-1 3 2 1 vs Dolphins

    3 - Stef - virtually unstoppable! 2 - Sezer - outstanding kicking game and strong in defence again. 1 - Bula - heavily involved and solid at the back Honourable mentions: Seyfarth, Faatape, Olam

    Best thing about rd 3 vs Sharks

    To me the best thing about the win was discipline. We were disciplined in defence, with a fast moving line and consistent tackling, often with a bit of sting. We were also disciplined regarding penalties. We managed to play hard but within the rules and hardly infringed. This had a positive...

    Charlie Staines #262

    Excuse me but what a load of nonsense! Before his injury last year he was playing with a lot of enthusiasm and impact in the fullback and wing positions. His injury was unfortunate and a serious one. Obviously, he's just getting into his stride again. Sure he's made one or two mistakes but he's...

    Benji Marshall #70

    It's early days but I really liked what I saw in the post game celebrations and the footage of Benji interacting with his players. Could we be witnessing a Bennet - like skill of man management? We seem to be seeing a very encouraging and supportive style that instils camaraderie and inspires...

    Apisai Koroisau #263

    What more can you say that hasn't already been said? An out and out champion who puts his body on the line and gives 100% every minute of every game. His commitment to the Tigers is enormous and his captaincy style is to lead by example.

    3-2-1 Rd3 3 2 1

    It's a nice change to actually find it difficult to choose 3 players - we were really good right across the park. 3 - Api - just an out and out champion and so gutsy in defence and attack 2 - Olam - not just for his play but the way his toughness motivated his teammates 1 - Bula - great under...
