    Who's our Captain for 2018 ?

    Reynolds. An outsider who will embrace the leadership role. We (Ivan and the bus) are changing the culture of this club from a player perspective. Some might think this is weird having Reynolds as Captain but if you sit down, have a beer and give it some thought, you will find it makes sense.

    Mitchell Moses released [Official]

    Moses is in a world of hurt and you know what- I really don't care. He is old news and am keen to watch Tui develolp as an option for us in the halves this year and at Fullback in 2018\. As Ivan indicates, Tui is now on the bus, we just need to give him time to find his seat. I think with some...

    Matt Ballin set for life after footy as injury bites

    I disagree with the issue of worst signing. That trophy lies with Anasta. We gave him the world and he did not deliver and continues to bag the club and supporters out on a weekly basis. I could think of another use for Ivans Bus if Braith was to hop out in front of it.

    Age of our recruits for 2018?

    Good Thread this one and it's an issue (age) that we consider but honestly this is not an issue. Russell has a good overall assessment of our 2018 side and their age. All we need to do is sort out the remaining purchases and discard the deserting others elsewhere and move on. whilst I hate...

    Elijah Taylor - Ordeal..

    I have always rated this bloke and his postive manner continues to shine. With Woods injury ideal time to make him captain and then just keep him in the role when old mate (Dog bound) comes back and hopefully earns his keep between now and September.

    Grim reality of 2018?

    Sorry Eddie but its a bit early to call. We need to see the other players that Ivan brings in on the bus. I think we are on the right track and just need to keep developing players like Brooks, Suli, MKC, Josh A, JJ Felise and others, put them on the paddock with our current and new "old Heads"...

    Has there been a worse captain than Woods?

    just watched the interview with Woods and that media leech Hooper and was really disappointed in Woods. No mention of the offer being on the table for period of time and his and the agents inability to contact the tigers. I just hope that Woods puts in when he returns and does his best for the...

    Do You Want James Tedesco To Stay?

    I have faith in Cleary and he obviously has other intentions. Only a few days and I am already over the issue of Teddy moving on. Mitchell looks to me to be an option as an alternative at half the price. Teddy is a brilliant player and we will miss him but he is not irreplaceable. Just like my...

    Pascoe statement on times at hand - message from CEO

    Good statement and along with how Ivan is handling the current situation, its what we need to hear from the CEO. As fans we need to hang in there and this will only improve. Will be heading to Sydney for my annual trip to Liechhardt later in the year. Hooper and his vermin mates will move onto...

    Club Statement - Tedesco and Woods

    Sound decision West Tigers. My thoughts is that this has been very well handled by the Tigers and I.C in the last few days. Sets the stage for what is required in the future. The matter had to come to a head and we can't have 2 players (or more likely that goose manager Moses) dictating to the...

    Press Conference: Ivan Cleary

    Thought Ivan did really well and the decision to bring this to a head was the correct one. I want them both to stay but if they walk, we will be in a really good position financially to bring new blood into the Tigers den and move forward. For a start Liddle, McQueen, Taylor, Brooks, Suli, Ava...

    Embarassing

    Embarrassing. Some of the team look like they are counting the dollars and not concentrating on the purpose they are on the paddock for. I agree that the Raiders will smack us next week. Had a reasonable feeling about this year but for some reason its all gone out the window. One tip though is...

    Chris McQueen signs - Official

    Worth locking in at the right price, but lets not get carried away with what we need to pay. To be honest there are plenty of Chris McQueen's out there and we don't need to rush. I am liking what I see in a few of our young fellas. Josh Aloiai for example. Going to be a good long term player for...

    If you could pick any 2 past players for next season

    Anasta and Anasta again. I love wasting money and it's the season for giving.

    Signing Rumours..

    Masteron, Please don't reopen wounds. The Anasta project was a disaster and one of our worst signings ever. Did little for the club, other players, cost us dearly and bagged the sh** out of the club and other players when he left. I had removed him from my memory until it was raised.

    The culture of bullying and abuse at Wests Tigers..

    Good to see the response from the Club. The media and certain individuals who think they are above the law are a rule unto themselves. Why not we starve them of the oxygen they seek. The club and the players need to use this ill founded adversity as an opportunity and get into pre season...

    Jamal Idris joins Wests Tigers...Official...

    Good signing. Very pleased and only positive for the team and the club. I like what I see of his frame at present. Does not appear to be carrying extra weight which is a plus.

    Round 1 2017

David Nofoaluma 3\. New Signing 4\. Michael Chee Kam 5\. Tim Simona 6\. Mitchell Moses 7\. Luke Brooks 8\. Aaron...

    Storm v Raiders (spoilers)

    Agree with many of the comments in this thread. Storm and for what its worth, the Broncos appear to get many of the 50/50 calls in their games and I reckon that's the coaches influence over the NRL more than anything. Even here in Qld, many have taken on board the storm (used to be Manly) as the...

    Hayne is the King of Campbelltown today

    I'm with most posts on this issue. Hayne is bigger than the game, just ask him….... The most imposing thing for me with his return to NRL was the press conference announcing it where it was obvious that he did not want to be a Titan but its all about the money. Wonder if the NRL have chipped in...
