Benji as a player was always the first one to roll the dice. Clearly his first venture as an NRL Coach has delivered similar hallmarks. One thing his decision to debut Soloman Fataape and Lachie Galvin will certainly do is light a fire under our next generation of potential tiger superstars...

VERRY obvious to me that AJ has taken up golf and is playing weekly rounds with Richo. Otherwise, for the life of me I can't see how he merits a jersey week after week!

I remember that interview with Joey. To think at the time some people actually believed him!!!

Like you @BAGNF05 I don't expect Api to be flogged during the trials. Think they may just want to try to clear the ruck area ASAP to see how the new centre combination performs against NRL standard opposition.

Not sure if this is definitive, but apparently a bald man wearing a black cape was seen driving a bus around Penrith just last week.

Gosh it's a small world. I finished year 6 at Berala Public in 1973. One thing I did forget to mention about the Berala Takeaway... After scoffing the chiko rolls and potato scallops my brother and I would go halves in a warm can of Big Boy Lemonade in the steel can. The takeaway guy would ask...

Remember my brother and I buying Chiko Rolls for about 20 cents each at the Berala Takeaway. If we were really hungry we'd load up on a few thick potato scallops at 2 cents each. Honestly the grease would be running down your face after every bite. They'd douse 'em in Cornwell's white vinegar...

The only thing this club has won in the last 2 years is 2 wooden spoons to crack together. We simply aren't travelling well enough NOT to put our best team on the park week to week. If Junior's from warrants him being in the top 2 wingers at the club then he plays. It is up to the other players...

People tend to forget that when this club was enjoying success on the field we had a number of larrikins/personalities in the team. Guys like Bryce Gibbs, Liam Fulton and Beau Ryan were forever taking the piss. Word from the sheds is big Samuela is also a bit of a larrikin and has been a hit...

I've read a lot here about who was the most skillful player, and the consensus seems to be that half backs and 5/8's tend to make up the majority. However, in my lifetime I never witnessed a player with greater natural gifts than Arthur Beetson. Arthur would regularly take on 3 tacklers and...

There once was a lad from Wests Tigers For a decade he fought his deriders T'was said his first game was a fluke For from the Press no rebuke But by half his name wasn't Mitch!!!

Not that I know for sure, but I do think certain player manager's have actively engaged in dispersing the occasional tidbit into the journalist's realm. It has been clear to me that a number of those guys did not respect the previous management and would do anything to manipulate a scenario that...

What do you mean you haven't seen many muscle man scientists? Look no further than our very own Justin Olam from Gon, Chimbu, in the highlands of Papua New Guinea. Justin is certainly built... and has also attained a Bachelor's Degree in Applied Physics!

Thanks @AmericanHistoryX. To answer your 24,595 Dong question, Sezer will take on the kicking duties. Lobb seems a competent kicker but Benji will run with Staines and the incumbent Tupou on the wings. Api has enough on his plate trying to run a team.

Just a couple of comments on some previous posts in this thread. You are once again correct Hal. Wayne Miranda was both indeed a very proficient swimmer and top notch water polo player. In terms of goal kicking, Dennis Bendall did not kick for Balmain. He came into 1st grade as an inside centre...

I do recall a startling example of Balmain's previous policy of selecting a goalkicker first and the player secondary, as alluded to by Hal. Wayne Miranda played on the wing for Balmain playing in 91 games from 1978 -1983. Wayne kicked 252 goals for the tigers and was the clubs 5th highest...

I've been a long term purveyor of the forum, however in this instance feel almost obliged to add a little bit of something. Some time ago my wife and I attended a Wests Tigers night hosted at Curzon Hall. In attendance that night were many WT luminaries including then coach Tim Sheens, MC Beau...
