And a funny movie at that!!

Is not good news for us, next week. This said, it is a chance for the WT to make amends for the last few performances.

Also true. Is the point then that their (ill) discipline was not influential, at the end of the day? PS - For some reasons I had this flashback involving a certain tense stage of the second half, referee Bill Harrigan penalised McGuire for obstruction after he appeared to use an offside...

You are right on Api...Reportedly, for the last 10 years, "The most heavily penalized and sin-binned captains in the National Rugby League (NRL) over the last decade include aggressive leaders like Victor Radley, Api Koroisau, Daly Cherry-Evans, and former skippers like Cameron Smith.".. Don't...

This Bulldogs game is shaping up to be one that will test what we are made of. Beat them, and we are on the up again...

And what do the WTs get out of it?

That may be so, but we don't know for sure, do we?

PS - Of course, there will always be the other side of the coin: "One Spoon": Signifies that after winning three straight wooden spoons, coaches, players, and fans are finally united at rock bottom with absolutely nowhere to go but up. "Claws Out": Represents our aggressive approach to digging...

According to the WT website: This mantra represents the Wests Tigers' 2026 NRL season membership campaign, promoting unity, intensity, and unlimited ambition under the theme "#OneJungle". It serves as a rallying cry for fans to "rise together" and support the team, with memberships designed to...
