Statistically speaking, an NRL team should win the comp every 16years or so based on each teams desire to win the premiership. The Tigers did it 4years ago. Fantastic wasnt it? Based on the way the team played this year, the juniors coming through in the Toyota Cup team that will join the NRL...

The Toyota Cup Team is doing well (jump on the bandwagon people) The players in that team are talented and many, including the 100kgs+ front and backrowers (fifita boys, Shirncak, Dwyer) who run like wingers, will join the NRL team in 2010 Laurie will wake upto himself and become a dominant...

Yes. Losing Tagive and Lazarus before the season starting was not a good sign. Cuts into the Top 25 squad. Losing Sauce, Rhino, Lawrence, Collis, Halatau for 8-12 weeks or half the season is not great either. These are rep standard players. Losing Galea, Gibbs, Farah, Tuiaki, Moltzen, Ryan...

2010 looks promising. There is a good crop of juniors coming through in the Toyota Cup squad, predominately back and front rowers who will form part of the Top 25 squad next year. Sheens is a master at spotting and developing juniors. History has proven that. After winning in 2005 and with...

What really gets me is that the point of contact of the knee was done before the ball was grounded, thus the incident was not after he scored but in the process of scoring a try. Its supports the conspiracy theory for the new cinderella team, The Eels, and the quest of the NRL to have a...

I would be referring to Willie Mason's Tackle on Dean Collis after he scored early in the season to show that knees in the back is not uncommon for big fellas sliding in late to save a try. Why punish the offender twice, once on the field and now off it. Isnt the penalty try sufficient punishment?

Does the end result determine whether a person should be retained or sacked? For me, this is comparable to asking Sheens to dig a trench in a calendar year that is 50metres long, 20metres deep, 5metres wide and in clay. He is given shovels, picks, jackhammers and a small crew to assist...

Hybrid, If you are a 108kg frontrow trying in desperation to make a tackle when the opposition players dives in for a try do you and your 108kg frame, that is on the brink of exhaustion, try and jump over the top of the oposition player or fall in a heap to the ground? Have a good think about...

Hey Bug, Do you realize that the Team with the least injuries and least players used in a season wins the premiership. Don't believe me? See R.League.com and have a look at the stats for yourself. You will see that the Team with the least players used in a given year finishes 1st and the...

Please cut out the Sack Gibbs and Sheens sh*t. Gibbs was one of the Tigers best against the Eels. The penalty he gave away on the 4th where he was in the play-the-ball area was milked. Have a look at the dummy half coming from the open side of the field and going to the short side to trip over...

Try: R.league.com for all past detail stats. Fact: The team with the least amount of players used in a year wins the premiership.

You guys are kidding yourselves. Was Galloway and Heigo a hinderance when they came back after a long lay-off? The guy is all class. If we beat the Eels, confidence will be sky high and the momentum in favour of the Tigers could be Tsunami like. Give it your best boys.

Warm and windy. Will be a nightmare catching bombs.

Assuming injuries to Skando and Payne (highly unlikely to play): 3\. Collis 13\. Ayshford (natural position) 17\. Laurie/Schirnack/Dwyer (whoever the coach sees fit)

If you go back in time, the Eels just lost to the Panthers and Titans away from home before beating the Storm and the Bulldogs convincingly and going on to beat the also rans convincingly in the last few weeks. Please, if you think there form is misleading, you need a good lie down and a...

Crouching Tiger Im with you. Ryan was a fullback during his junior days so why not. Id swap Lawrence with Collis in the wing/centre position as Lawrence's defence has been outstanding of late. Collis is timid in his defencive read and tends to slide rather than up and in. Reason why the...

Moltzen did well on that tackle on Mini but it was Beau Ryan who came back in cover to drive him over the sideline. Everyone credits Moltzen for the tacke and deservedly so but do not underestimate the involvment of Ryan in that tackle. He has been a consistent performer all year and is always...

NRL Tactics last night indicated the Tigers in the last 5 weeks are 2nd in Defence and 2nd in attack. The statistics are a reflection of the on-field performance. The level of detail in the defensive structure is being adjusted to suit opposition attacking strengths. All experts on the panel...

Lets get a bit of perspective here. Firstly, the Rhino was playing in the middle earlier in the year and not on the edges due where he is best suited due to injuries in the forwards. We had no go forward and playing in the middle of the field is not his best position. Would you think Watmough...

The club did well to keep this issue in-house for a few weeks. It is a shame this issue with Daine is being played out in the media. It is not good for the club that this drama is made public but that's the media for you. They focus on any negative gossip they can find. "Crapagraph" you''ve...
