I'm an old Balmain fan and think the inner west is very important however, I do believe a big part of the clubs future is Campbelltown, it's our point of difference. Unlike the inner west, Campbelltown and beyond is only Wests Tigers. Having said that, the magpies and Wests Tigers have been...

We need some more forwards who can 'poke their nose' through, get some more PCMs, which will help with ruck speed, wrestle and so on. I think Pole, May, Hunt and Finaua's do this sometimes and our wingers can do it. Funny thing thing is, it seems obvious and you would imagine the coaching would...

Yeah strange, seems a waste.

Nature? :)

I'm not into supersition, just facts. And its a fact that a tiger would beat a magpie everyday of the week.

No they all obviously know it but I would be surprised if the Bulldogs for example haven't trained harder and smarter on the wrestle, slowing the ruck down, line speed and so on. However, they do have a better squad to become very good at these aspects of the game So we are behind on two fronts

Yeah good question, it seems pretty obvious, maybe it’s players we have, not good enough to get it done

No, I think that other sides are better at it then us and it goes a very long way towards winning

I'd say Josh Hannay, he's had a great apprenticeship, experience with origin. Does he have the Riles, Ciraldo or Fitzgibbon respect and knowledge

Its the ruck speed, he's on the front foot which is perfect for him and most halves. Benji needs to work and work more on the wrestle

Whatever team he picks, can he please focus on winning the wrestle and the ruck. Is it strength, technique, attitude. It seems like for the last million years we have never dominated in this area.. The dogs are one of the best at it, always on the front foot which makes Galvin etc look good...

Don't get it really. The stats change big time when you're born in Sydney, for example. Numbers are the same for every club. And depends what you mean by cursed?

Not sure. Who would have the most respect as a coach amongst the footy community, that's who we need. Not sure who it is? Is it an assistant coach at the moment or experienced coach? Or even Benji, maybe the players really do think he's a good coach, remember he has some crappy players to deal...

I know Luai does so much for the culture off the field, blah blah blah but if I'm a young guy or team member and he serves up average performance after average performance. What are going to think of him, no matter how hard he trains and so on. Willing to give him some slack because of his...

I know it pessimistic but its the vibe at the moment. After watching teams who are in a similar position on the table I think the Tigers future is looking a little 'average' compared to other teams. Dragons, Eels, Roosters, Dolphins are building very well. Even the Cowboys, Titans and...

He doesn’t look natural when passing the ball, just looks a little clunking, his form and timing? Maybe not

Nah, we were losing the ruck for sure, from the the first few sets and our line speed was inferior.

Yes

No disagree, the first twenty just showed how much Penrith dominated, their field position was much better then ours, you could see straight away they were winning the ruck and had superior line speed. And it just got worse throughout the game.

Still waiting, he does need to aim up. However, we always are losing the ruck which can't help but you'd expect him to 'grab the game by the horns' in some way
