@balmain-boy There must be a fair bit of competition which is a great thing. One of the Flegg kids apparently turned up for training after getting his wisdom teeth out on the same day and tackled hard! Made me laugh - the trainer said he looked like John O’Neill. Memories.

Awesome experience and looking forward to Sydney test and next 2 grand finals!! How much that set you back Steve? Because I applied years ago there was no ‘waiting list’ fee. Cost me $3200 as a first year payment, $1200 a year after that. Pretty good I reckon. Worth it for the Sydney Test alone. Mate it was so good sitting at the members bar, drinking a full strength beer from a glass! I reckon, I need to apply. Did you have put a reservation amount down first? You know you can wear pink these days without using cricket as an excuse Sure you look sexy on a wet day at Leichhardt on the hill I go to day 3 most years. It is an amazing cause CB …everyone should 1000% behind it Most of the cops a couple of years back working day 3 donated their wages. Wonderful gesture by the boys and girls in blue.

Alright, enough is enough. This thread by and large has been an absolute disgrace and more than half of the posts in this thread are nothing short of complete and utter garbage. It ends now. Thread closed. If anyone wants to start a new thread, I suggest you think long and hard about it. Unless it is contains FACTUAL and RELEVANT information concerning Robbie Farah’s position at the Wests Tigers, it will be deleted. If anyone wants to argue, find another forum to post on.

Best result would be for Parra to beat Penrith by two and then lose their points for fielding a 14th man.

Well this thread went off topic quickly.

My support for my EPL team and my NRL side is like having identical twins https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/11/05/do-sam-allardyce-explains-why-west-ham-didnt-sign-jamie-vardy/

All this drama for an extra $75k a year? The guy is a muppet… What drama? Does anyone really think he damaged his reputation that much? Who else in 12 months will even remember what he did besides us? I bet hardly anyone remembers what Cleary did now, except us. His reputation is intact with the general league public. No one cares about Matterson. No one even cares about Moses. Beg to differ - a lot of people on here care about Sooks and Tankers. Read my post again. I’m talking about non Tigers supporters. They don’t care. No remembers or talks about him tanking with us. Doesn’t no one include this Forum or are we something else? It does when I’m talking about NON Tigers supporters. Quit being pedantic. Just say what you mean and we are all good. No offence meant if you are thin skinned Lol Lol not thin skinned. But it is annoying when somebody wants to argue the language you use and not the actual content of the post.

Most notably Russell Packer. Packer refused to speak to Cleary when news first emerged that the coach was potentially leaving for Penrith and, now that the news has been confirmed, any chance to repair the relationship has passed the point of no return. The players are most upset that they bought what Cleary was selling, in some cases packing up their families to join the club. That Cleary notified the players by text was also received poorly. Oh and JT brought a 1967 Shelby GT500 Super Snake Packer and Matulino are not playing for love. They should be grateful to Cleary for the healthy contracts they got that encouraged them to sign with us, and should now be ready to lift their game under a coach who may demand a bit better from them.

@Elderslie_Tiger said in Pascoe sanctioned by the NRL: name Todd? Are you out there? What’s your stance on player managers manipulating signings? Hello? Todd? Can someone please pull our games CEO out of Politis’s ring so he can do his job!

@supercoach said in Lote Tuqiri thread: I get the feeling TNT is going to be on the side lines for a long time, so I think its going to be a long time before we see the two in action together sadly. On Lotte can only be a plus for the club on and off the field. Okay I would have loved to have Lima or Burgess but Lotte will go okay and a old head will be very handy out wide in those close games we always seem to loose Context 

The only hesitation that I have with the Warriors is the slight hangover from the super league debacle, when as new teams, they and the cows went with the Murdoch/Ribot circus. The bulldogs and panthers etc will never be forgiven. Conversely, a Bledisloe win would be a long overdue shot in the arm for union here.

Yep it’s had it’s run been fun…

Hmmmmm

What an enthralling finish between 2 of the best in the business happy and Geo. They entered the Dome in fear of eachothers strategy but the astute Tipping of happy just proved to be….um yeah better. This Officially concludes the Competition, Congrats happy. :roll

More proof yet again Our CURRENT team is performing 100% above our expectations , Recruitment and Retention looking good , Players are showing up every week and giving 110% , Most are happy with the coach ,Management have us heading in the right direction and everything seems stable Yet here we are arguing about a player at Souths and a coach at the Roosters and a situation that should be so far in everyone’s rear vision mirror it’s not funny I just don’t get this place sometimes Wish Robbie and Taylor the best of luck for the future ……

@happy tiger: @foreveratiger: @happy tiger: FT 'Hobbo didn’t get Spag Bol tonight She’s still trying to fix that big tear in the polo Congrats Hobbo and fantastic job FT Your the man , no not you , the other one Thank you for running the Comp happy , Brilliant :master: No mate , your the man , you kept us sane this off season Only three years left in my apprenticeship You did a good job happy …… "Apprentice of the year " Posted using RoarFEED 4.2.0

@Balmain Bobby: @Goose: @JoshTheNewcastleFan: Lol this should be interesting, Laurie & Mason playing & training with the same team! Smackdown - Laurie wants piece of Mason THE Sydney Roosters don’t want him. Rival clubs are wary. But there’s one hombre who wants to see William Marshall Mason remain in the NRL. ‘‘Tell Willie Mason when I see him I’m going to slap him in the face,’’ goaded new Panthers recruit Daine Laurie. ‘‘I’m gonna hurt him if he actually gets a start this year.’’ It turns out Mason and Laurie have a mutual friend and the latter was furious when word filtered though that Big Willie had bagged his fellow bookend. ‘’[A friend] saw Willie out and was saying ‘How about Daine Laurie, he runs pretty hard and he’s a pretty good player’,’’ Laurie explained. ‘‘Then Willie told him ‘Nah, he’s a poor excuse for a footballer and is just a drunk’. And calling me a drunk! Is he serious? He loves a drink. Everyone knows that. If you can put that in the paper, then put it in the paper. I used to have nothing but respect for the guy until I heard that. But that’s it.’’ Laurie has bulked up eight kilograms, bringing him up to a Mason-esque 116kg. We’re already salivating at the prospect of the young bull and the old one sorting it out. Old school. Mason was unavailable for comment. If he joins the Cowboys, they happen to play Laurie’s Panthers in round two - the Saturday night of March 20 in Townsville. Meanwhile, Laurie is fighting to be fit for the Indigenous team for the All Stars match in a fortnight after breaking a toe at training last week. http://www.smh.com.au/sport/smackdow…0130-n5dr.html I forgot all about that little feud….should be interesting at training. The way Dane is going, they will never be on the same training paddock, as he is not getting a go, despite the Knights poor performances, and a beaten pack. The way I see it, we let two players go we needed. Yes, both required work and mentoring, but we did the same thing to Robert Louie, so maybe we should invest if a Life Skills Coach, and retain players with so much potential, but who need steering in the right direction, which was always a Balmain & Westie tradition. Daine is going sh*t these days. Apparently looks like a world beater in the local league but when it comes to NSW Cup he looks lazy & slow, has about 10 good minutes in him. Willie on the other hand, a 30 something, washed up old fart on 40k is going great guns & just about the Knights best player these days.
