He was diabolical tonight. Has to be his last game as a Tiger for me. I have no problem with him taking his salary from the sideline. He needs the change as much as we do. We need to draw a line in the sand - no player should get picked in first grade at Wests Tigers after an individual...

There are rumours that Justin Pascoe, CEO of Wests Tigers, could be making an imminent decision to step down from his role at Wests Tigers. It cannot be understated how important this decision could be for our club. The implications of this decision, should he choose to leave, could be...

That 2026 team looks promising! Giddy up

Yeah this was a poor read - he just need to run then.

Fair - his passing at the moment is generally off. He only kick it dead once and got caught once if I am not mistaken. Did his involvement in the three second half tries make you feel any different about his performance overall?

Punditry on us is generally non-analytical. It is easy and popular to pile on us - was more looking for specific issues with the game he played today.

Reading generally - what are some specific criticisms of Brooks today? I am not a Brooks fan and am mostly against resigning him but am just looking for some specific issues with his game today. I’ve said this in a previous post - his run on tackle 5 in the second half in the Bulldogs...

He has to find a place as a pod runner if he wants to keep playing. He destroys a lot of pods by not spacing properly or pushing up into pods that he isn’t a part of. The Api short ball was a great example of not really knowing how to think about his role. He was in a good attacking formation...

I am as cynical as anyone but our line speed in the first half and general forward meterage is much better than last year. We are getting play the balls over the advantage line - a key to winning games of football. Klemmer, Stefano and Twal, who is very frustrating at times, really played pretty...

If Douhei doesn’t get dropped for next week I’ll eat my hat. What happened when Douhei stopped getting the ball - we played well! Gotta hand it to Brooksy - he played fairly well today. Run on the 5th in the Bulldogs 20 in the second half was a blip but he tackled well and played beautifully...

If we win this weekend it will be against all odds. One of, it not the most likely scenario could be us getting our first two points at the bye. We are nearly not playing well enough to be in first grade - no hyperbole. It is highly possible that our ressies would have won if they were...

Haha its not rocket science is it. Cleary puts the good things in so Penrith wear the Dolmio grin! Honestly this post pisses me off more than others. How does a great player come to our club from a premiership team and immediately acknowledge that we train less. My god.

He is allowed to have opinions on us if we are playing awfully. I find him to be fairly diplomatic as a pundit. Most of his opinions and reads on match situations are pretty spot on - talks a lot about communication and physicality which are two areas we desperately need to improve. Chances of...

Shane Flanagan was and is still also available. The Cronulla supplements saga shouldn't leave a sour taste in anyone's mouth anymore. They were taking advice from a doctor, the players were unharmed and all remain fond of Shane in general. There is literally no way that our forwards would...

Definitely agree with this point. Even have them just coaching on the sideline for presence and using Chris Heinington to get messages to the players would be a good step.

The organisational behaviours which encourage cultural mediocrity are being addressed. We have an incredible new high performance facility at Concord, we are allegedly nurturing young juniors who have bright NRL futures and we signed arguably the best player in his position in the game (Api). We...

I definitely agree that Brooks was taking the ball at second receiver but that is because he was taking the ball second man from middle forwards so our halves could operate on either side of the field. That is the Des Hasler James Graham strategy to split halves, which worked to a degree but...

If you look at our left edge attack last season with Hastings and Brooks playing on the same side with Brooks at second receiver we were actually quite good. I would not say that if we weren’t but we truly looked like we had figured something out. If you put a player cam on Hastings you would...

Brooks tangibles are great - he is fast, he is a good defender, he is a good support runner, great kicking technique and an underrated midfield high ball field position kicker. I’ve always backed these abilities and hoped that the mental component - the thing that will tie it all together will...
