Biggest problem is we are continually dominated in the ruck, its hard to put on any play when the opposition defensive line is set. And our kick chase is terrible, may again because we are on the back foot.

Do the Tigers practice the wrestle, we always seem to get owned in this department. Lose the ruck, you lose the game

This is so true. Our ruck speed and line speed are noticeably inferior, and puts defence on the back foot. Our kick chase needs improving as well, big time

Do they? :) Just hoping for that high level performance, aren’t you? Some might say it’s overdue?

Anyone see Harry Grant play tonight? Does Jerome have a performance like that in him? I think so but haven’t seen one for a while.

Yeah that's the point, it may seem like slim pickings but they're would have to be a number of these guys who could do a very good job. That bulldogs could be one of them, he seemed to go alright

We need big strong forwards before anything else. The lists below are form Zero Tackle. They are players off contract at the end of 2025. I don't know who the better players are but the point is, maybe we could jag a couple of these guys who could go to another level or already have what ot...

Yeah you’re absolutely right, and yes as others have said, along with coach and the leadership, he has created a positive culture. Also, brought some good players along. Let’s hope on the field he can be that elite player the price tag expects……and I’d imagine who Jerome expects. So lots to...

Yeah no doubt he is a good player who has improved the team and the culture of the club, however do you think he has looked like an elite player? I don't think so, if he's worth every cent he should be in the very highest category of player. Gutho for Saints has been better value then Luai...

He's been good for us but 1.2 million worth of good, certainly not. But we don't have much of a choice, hopefully he can earn some of his coin off the filed and bring some of his Samoan mates to the Tigers.

Yeah I couldn't agree with the decision to let TDS go for Api. I think Benji has had a lot of say in this, letting Api would not have been good for 'team spirit' and Benji doesn't have the respect or experience yet to make those types of calls. Lets pray Api can aim up for at least next year...

There are are many arears for improvement but one I'm a little surprised with is Toa's defence has been very poor lately, you would think things like this would get better throughout the year.

Yeah terrible performance however, it was great to see the effort and hunger for a win was obvious. The desire is essential, so hopefully they'll continue to work hard on improving their performance. They are still a 'young' team

Yeah the ‘80s had some big crowds. I was at a game vs the Dragons, maybe 1985 with 22,000. Not a record but the place was heaving. No doubt, it’s a special place.

I’m not having a go at anyone but….. Let’s call a spade a spade, Wests Magpies and success traditionally do not go hand in hand. The only time in the last 50 years was when they were associated with Balmain in 2005, 2010 & 2011. So it isn’t surprising that since HBG took over we have been on...

Yeah, they're good numbers but its just my impression of the six games I've seen him play. Lots of third man in, no strong shoulders and some arm grabbing. Plenty of decoy runs, interested in post contact metres, hopefully they're good. And it will be interesting to see if he gets picked for...

Have you seen KPP play this year? Uninspiring comes to mind

Yeah, like that, considering, except for Bird, would've like to see a young guy or Hunt given a go. Looking forward to seeing Doueihi and Taylan go round. They have big side, hope we don't get steamrolled

Yeah fair enough but we would like to see it soon, a big performance from Api this weekend would be good.

No, Benji would of made it clear that Api has the inside running for the next two years, so the environment at Parra was clearly better
