    Agree that a system change can make (or break) a player. However, Klemmer and Twal should not and would not make any team. I don’t think any system can help them. Eisenhuth was terrible and still is. Very surprising that he makes the Panthers bench. Garner on the other hand is quite...

    FWIW - I know JAC is past his prime, but in the last 40 years of watching league, he is probably the best pure winger I’ve ever seen. Lote was great, Sailor was dominant, but peak JAC is my pick. Edit: honourable mention to Folau. And Tuiaki, Richards of course 😊

    Yes! I love the To’o rumours, but if the above happens let’s get a gun forward or two and then look forward to Victoria Rd being blocked off again. 😆

    Favorite West / Balmain or WT player?

    Balmain - Hanley and Jack Wests - some of the Wests greats were before my time. Always had a soft spot for Trevor Cogger and Andrew Leeds. WT - Benji. Daylight second. And third.

    Yep. Papalii and Stef were established first-graders, but not inspirational leaders. We need to recruit at least one of these in the forwards now. It would be a shame to go into 2025 only pinning hopes on second year guys or juniors with potential. (I can’t count Klemmer and Bateman. Which is...

    WT Ownership, The Board & Senior Management - MEGA Thread

    Telling off other fans for venting frustration at the same time as saying membership is the answer is so flippant and crude. The only thing you have done is undermine current members.

    Agree. If we come 13th, that would be considered improvement. If we came 9-12, that would be better, I guess. I don’t have expectations for instant success with our shiny new recruits, but I still acknowledge that anything less than top 8 is a fail.

    Walsh could be anything, just makes way too many errors. Ponga is excellent, I think of him as a hybrid 5/8. Walsh is effective and safe, not flashy. But I’m with @bptiger 0 .Teddy is No1. He has all the great attributes of a fullback without any drawbacks. Still, I loathe him because he...

    I also doubt it. What was written though was “I could think of better ways to spend 2 million bucks....”. Rebecca in Ted Lasso perfectly sums up my feelings when I keep hearing stuff like this from our own fans: “You're just so convinced that you don't deserve anything good in your life...

    Classic Tigers forum. Poo-pooing even the idea of Haas, the best prop in the game by a mile. And some say we shouldn’t spend on To’o either. The best winger in the game. Crikey.

    Really is. They know how to do hospitality there. Bangkok is great fun, good value, delicious food, brilliant shopping. So underrated.

    I legit don’t understand what you mean people should have empathy, ie, in response to a Bones’s comment. Not sure if that’s what you meant? Either way, Yes, we all deal with real life issues elsewhere, and I get the general notion that we should have a bit of perspective. But surely it is...

    I’m usually fairly level headed, but I’m rather irate. The WT website congratulating a rival player on making second round of finals? While we came last for third straight year… is this for real? Sure, I’m not a Brooks fan anyway, but even if it were for players who I am a fan of who left, I...

    Other than Api, of your 5 run-on forwards: Twal, Klemmer and Bateman wouldn’t make any other side. Latu no idea. Sam Fainu is good, but if that is our starting 8-13 in 2025, it would have to be the NRL’s worst forward pack.
