Sadly the boys club is still alive and well. Sell the lot of them. "Offered for immediate transfer at the right price or will consider straight swaps for real NRL players. Aaron Woods. Lacks off-field captaincy skills but will smile a lot and always good for a laugh. Mitchell Moses. Excellent...

Yep, 2020 works for me. With 16 teams in the comp one win in 15 years is beating the odds!

Hey born tiger, can you bend over and pick out another number please? I've had to wait ages before, but in 2043 I'll be 99 and dribbling all over my bingo numbers!

I don't think Cleary would make the mistake of having these contracts all end at the same time and will look to stagger them for the players he keeps. From a a team depth point of view Tedesco may have priced himself out of our reach and can do much better for himself elsewhere. Reading this...

Exactly right bigsiro - first sign up a new coach then sack the old one and tell the players to either commit or walk. Job done, and only then do you have the media conference instead of the wishy-washy rubbish they dished out.

If Cleary is still listening to Gus Gould he will be sitting back waiting for that telephone call with a better offer: http://www.sportingnews.com/au/league/news/phil-goulds-words-of-warning-for-ivan-cleary-nrl-wests-tigers/1lc5l8lf6ubbl1jemozzz3r6np I hope Cleary signs up because he wants to...

I'd be extremely disappointed if Andrew Webster wasn't at least appointed assistant coach. He has held that position for two years now at the Warriors and has already coached Moses and Brooks to an under 18's grand final win, so those two at least would be on side. Webster is already in place...

I put that loss down to retention and recruitment. Nothing against Suli who is coming along nicely, but what do you think the result would have been had we kept Ado-Carr for the same money? Bellamy has an eye for talent and value for money while we obviously don't. Great stats, but we were...

If you want passion look no further than Tim Grant and Elijah Taylor. OK, we were thrashed by two better teams but one was without Tim and the other without Elijah and having both take the field would have done wonders for our for and against. They have fire in their bellies and are polar...

One of the Dad's Army coaches maybe? Correct me if I'm wrong, but when Taylor stuffed up at Souths John Lang stepped in as interim coach until they signed Maguire. Same age as Wayne Bennett and Tim Sheens so not past it by any means. I've no idea what he's doing these days but there are others...

It's interesting to note that Taylor and Toovey have both notched up the same number of wins as coaches now: Taylor 61/140 = 43% Toovey 61/105 = 58% Fair enough Toovey had a lot more to work with, but those figures do not look at all good for Taylor.

Of course it's all about defence and not statistics. JT is currently on 43% and running second last of the 16 coaches with 57 wins from a total of 132 NRL games coached. Trent Barrett is closing on him fast and could get to 42% with a win tonight. JT is improving though, and has 8 wins from 18...

I've missed a few players completely, and the Telstra site has been updated since Love The West Tigers put his figures up. These are the ones who played 80 minutes or more: BACKS Hunt 133% (played 80 min made 3 missed 4) Brooks 39 Tedesco 37 Rankin 27 Moses 24 Nofoaluma 22 Milone 20 Chee-Kam 17...

Possibly over-simplifying things, but breaking those figures down into forwards and backs for a fairer comparison and showing missed tackles as a percentage of made tackles, different pictures emerge. BACKS Brooks 36% Tedesco 31 Rankin 25 Moses 23 Nofoaluma 22 Naiqama 14 Simona 12 FORWARDS...

It must be remembered that Robbie only makes the side as long as he does what JT tells him, so effectively he has been neutered. It can't be easy to drop from captain to just another foot soldier, and I think he is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances. The crunch will come...

Robbie is still with us but whether or not he gets to play first grade is still up to Taylor. I don't see that much has really changed - nor will it until one or both of them leave. Or they could kiss and make up…. Nah, probably not.

So you would happily pay him $1.9 million dollars to go and do whatever he wants without having to even turn up for training? I'll take that job. :laughing: With interest if it will stop the rot. Where is Harry Stroganoff when we need him?

A board with any guts could have shut this down from day one. "Sit down Robbie. We've hired a new coach and you are undermining his authority so you have to go. We can't pay you a lump sum, but we can afford to keep you on the payroll until your contract is up. Don't bother showing up for...

Come on guys - we lost, get over it. Every player out there gave 100%, don't slag them - buy better players!

Adam can count past ten but has never got to twenty without dropping his boots.
