On replay, it seems Bateman is upset about Taaffe taking out Bula in the chase to get to Staines’ kick before the brewhaha broke out. Klemmer, closer to the ref is giving it to her, echoing Batemans same argument, before Seyfarth even attempts to layout Kiraz. I believe Bula was denied a chance...

Wish the best for this bloke, it’s hard to be so honest and personal. Hopefully scoring a bag load of tries can help him and the team.

Still think Latu should start at 13. Move Bateman to centre and shift Naden out to wing. That gives them 2 tall wingers, 2 strong defensive centres, keeps Samuela starting (now also, along side his brother) and adds an extra ball player in the 13… and we actually end up with our best 13 players...

I come here for the banter, but stay for the tax talk

This is our best 17, except for the last bench spot - that could be a few players spot. Hope this team stay injury free and get lots of time playing together.

Just quietly, got to wrap the boss for looking a little trimmed down at the Campbelltown office launch photos on the club website. His health was a bit of concern to start the job, so seems like he is doing a bit better

This site has all our stats against refs: https://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/teams/wests-tigers/referees.html G Sutton has ref’d us 45 times, win ratio of 35%

Yeah ref was good, except missing the disruptor penalty in the 79th and also missed it at the 47th min when he judged Junior knocking on from the bomb instead. The ensuring set then lead to the Galvin sin binning. 2 sliding door moments… they still won and they wouldn’t have last couple of...

Think that Benji will put Bud to 6 and have Simpkin come in at 14 if he’s clear to play. If not, coach might roll the nice with Latu on the bench.

The depth isn’t there behind him to be dropped… but why not chuck Latu in on the wing when fully fit? His time with Samoa proved he can play anywhere.

Hope he was true to his word and wore a winning teams jersey

ah well end of discussion then, good chat

Why? He tried some things, gave it 2 trials and a regular season - doesn’t look like it will work. The same conservative view of not rushing in a teenager when he outplayed most the adults is this same “made his bed” sentiment. He has to find out who in squad can front up, face up and stick the...

Can’t believe we have 2 more years of Staines & Seyfarth, 3 more years of To’a, and 4 more years of Bud. 4 crucial top 30 wasted.

1. Jahream Bula 2. Solomon Alaimalo 3. Justin Olam or Faataape 4. Brent Naden or Casey 5. Alex Lobb 6. Lachlan Galvin 7. Latu Fainu or Salad 8. Stefano Utoikamanu 9. Apisai Koroisau (c) 10. Alex Twal 11. Isaiah Papali'i 12. John Bateman 13. Samuela Fainu 14. Tallyn Da Silva 15. Fonua Pole 16...

This guy knew what he was talking about! (Except about the win part)

He’s going to go great Saturday. Worried more about the right side defence then I am how Galvin will handle 80 mins of first grade. Api lead, Galvin to follow, Bula trailing. Limit handling errors, low missed tackle count and heads up all day… and win.
