    Can we go 3-0 for the first time?

    We haven't just played well, we've played very, very good football. The Warriors and Manly aren't at their best yet that's true, neither are we to be fair, but in both those games we could've won by more. Against the Warriors we went awfully close to scoring 2 more tries in the first half, the...

    Can we go 3-0 for the first time?

    I think we will because I think the team knows they must make the most of this early season form and the draw they have. We play 4 of our first 7 at Leicchardt & Campbelltown but after that comes Origin and plenty of games away and at ANZ. We are in good form, players are confident and no major...

    Luke Brooks undecided on future. Admits he could leave Tigers

    I'm not sure they'd be handed anything if they went to, what they might perceive to be, a stronger club, they'd still have to work for any success that comes their way. But I agree that they could play a huge part in helping this club achieve something very special in the coming years if they...

    Teddy, moses, & brooks

    I, like quite a few Tigers fans, had quite a rap on Martin so at last year's coaches night I asked JT what he thought about him. He said straight up that it looked like the club was going to lose him. So even then there must have been substantial offers coming in for him. JT also said during the...

    Luke Brooks undecided on future. Admits he could leave Tigers

    It can't be all about money. Of course player managers try to get as much as they can for their clients (and therefore themselves) but in the end the decision of where a player wants to play probably rests on other factors unless the player is near the end of their career or are offered way, way...

    NYC Team Announcement: Round 2 vs. Manly..

    Ray Stone, still only 18 but he can work this fella. He is definitely an NRL player in the making. When you think about it the club has Liddle, Sironen, Kharwin, Tatola and Felise who all look like they'll go on to NRL level. And there might be more from this group. How big is Paseka, 190cm and...

    Player stats from tonight

    I think you could say the same about Woodsy who also can miss a tackle with a hand grab but as he plays in the middle it's a little easier for the others around him to clean up the attacker and it's less likely to end in a try anyway. But Kyle plays wider so when he misses, or anyone else out...

    Weather thread

    The way the weather is I can see a real issue with ball control tonight. The ground will be have a little bit of dew on it probably, there might be a drop of rain and of course the sweat of the players. Hopefully we handle things better than they do.

    WESTS Tigers SC Team v Warriors Rd 2..

    Addo-Carr went ok in defence as far as I could tell and he ran the ball strongly. Hurrell made one bust from their half and was in the clear but Addo-Carr ran him down quickly but Hurrell was able to off load to a supporting Warrior and they scored. But even Hurrell appreciated the effort made...

    Acknowledging the fans

    I might be wrong but I thought they've been doing this for a few years now. Doesn't bother me really. Most questions asked of players, and their answers, are mostly predictable anyway. They just want to play, can't blame them for that.

    NYC Team Announcement: Round 2 vs. Manly..

    The two props, Tatola & Felise, are the ones who lead the way. I really like the way they go about their work in the middle. Mapesone does a great job of getting the team around the park too. What do people think of Ryland Jacobs? I think he could push on after this year but will keep an eye on...

    'Spiritual home' success key for Tigers

    I think a bumper crowd will generally lift the two teams who play, and in the case of Manly they love to be hated so not sure if a big crowd getting behind the local team will make it any more difficult for them. But a crowd that gets on the back of the officials, calling for forward passes, off...

    TAUPAU...

    Manly were dominated by the Bulldog pack and have made a couple of changes so they obviously want to rectify that. If they do then Marty will benefit as well. I think that if the Tigers can match them early then we might just have too much in attack with the halves and Teddy getting into the...

    I'll be there.

    WESTS Tigers SC Team v Warriors Rd 2..

    I went to the game, Edwards took a head knock after coming on but did return later. He looked in need of the run and will need a few more games to get some match fitness. The team just made too many errors, and the Warriors were a big side and thrived with so much ball. It was one of those games...

    Home ground importance

    How many teams have made the finals by winning more away games than home games the last 10 years? The answer is 10 teams, an average of one team a year has made the finals with a better record away from home. So the odds are certainly not in your favour. And on average 1 team a year can make it...

    Home ground importance

    Very good Balmain Boy but how many games from the 8 at Leichhardt & Campbelltown do you think we can win this year? Do you think we can make the finals if we win 5 of them? How about all our home games? What do you, or anyone else think, would be the minimum if we were to make the finals? I...

    Home ground importance

    I agree but at present it is what it is. I think the last few years we haven't gone all that great at Leichhardt, and before that we went through a period of so so results at Campbelltown. You would think we would perform better at those two grounds in particular. Only 1 from 4 at Leichhardt...

    Home ground importance

    I think it's interesting that this year we start the season with 2 games at our traditional home grounds. In recent years playing at home hasn't been all that advantageous but I'm sure the Tigers boys will do all they can to make the visiting teams know they have been in a real contest. I'm...

    Sironen

    I think Wade Graham was not an instant hit in the back row. Took him a season or two to really get used to things. I think a lot of Tigers fans have high expectations of Sirro because of the name he carries and what pundits like Gordon Tallis have said about him. In my opinion he will be very...
