Problem is that Brooks was playing at 7 with the Tigers for years when he is a natural 6. Siebold tried him at 7 when DCE was out and Brooksie did all the lame things at 7 Tigers fans know him for, and Manly lost. The next time DCE was out, Siebold used a young player at 7 and he, and the...

Brooks seems as unbreakable as Bruce Willis this year. It would be darkly funny if Brooksie ran into Murphy's Law when he was just on the brink of glory, but Manly will probably win with Turbo back and the Dogs running out of steam. If you put the current ex-Tigers together you'd have a top 8...

Yep, when players from more important (ie. most other) clubs go to the judiciary, they get fines or short suspensions. Yet Olam, Sezer and Api are hit with major suspensions. Even a prolific headhunter like JWH gets 3 weeks, same as a cleanskin like Api - and Gutho was smiling and looking well...

Oh well, this season has shown that the salary cap isn't working. Tigers were always going to get the spoon and the other end of the comp is just a battle to see who Melbourne beats in the GF. The best players leave weak clubs because they want to win a comp with Storm, Panthers and Roosters.

The most impressive thing in that game was Gutherson rolling around in "agony" until Api was sent, and then suddenly he was fine. An acting career beckons

An important life lesson for the young Tiger lads. Benji told them to have fun. It's like telling young guys to have fun at a bar and they sink ten quick scotches and pass out. They need to learn to think ahead because it's actually more fun to have enough discipline to win.

After tonight I'd like to change my vote to Stefano. He was abysmal tonight

Urrrrrrggghhhh

Parra have a team that should have been challenging for the 8. The main thing is the Tiger cubs play well and give a sign that they will be good next year. The whole spoonbowl thing is a bit of a wank. Both teams had a tough year.

I felt sorry for Olam. When others did head highs they'd get 10 mins, on report or just a penalty. Then thhey'd get either a fine or one game suspension. No other players was told they had a whole body to aim for and to go - even though their tackles were similar. Even JWH, with his, um...

Amazing what happened to Olam - both the send off and suspension - while similar or worse head highs have either just earned a report and short suspension. The judiciary can't even argue about loadings, since JWH only received 3 weeks. Not sure if it's because he's a Tiger or from PNG.

Was a bit confused by your reply but let it go. Talau has had a great year but he ain't no GOAT, just a good first grade. Turbo is ridiculous when he's on song. If Mitchell ever manages to screw his head back on, Turbo and Latrell back in the centres in Origin could lead NSW to a clean sweep.

I've thought for a while that this team reminds me of the Baby Broncos when they came last without a top quality 7 to guide the youngsters around. Poor old Sezer kept being suspended, which made it hard to form combinations. Not sure WT can rise up the table as quickly as the Broncs, but they...

Brooks was the fastest Tiger, but he was wasted for years at halfback. Now it would probably be Bula or Staines. The OP's list looks pretty credible to me.

Good point about the youngsters. I hope next year's preseason is as gruelling as in the top clubs

If the legal system has any connection with reality, the case will be either thrown out or there'll be a modest out of court payout. Then again, the legal system is often way out of touch with reality ...

The way the Tigers keep performing poorly in the second half suggests that the pre-season was too soft and WT players are not as fit as other players ... even Souths, who seemed to have the same problem under JD. Ciraldo got it right with his tough love. The mainstream media tried to crucify...

If I ever develop a heart condition, this team will be a threat to my life. So glad that pass was called

Pretty well my point, unfortunately

They are young and highly talented. I'll reserve judgement on their progress for a year or two. If they come on, I'll stand corrected. To say that Benji has made them better than they'd otherwise be is premature. As for Stef, he didn't come on. The occasional good game is not near good...
