I’m not sure sacking the coach is the answer right now, it may be in the future but today - it seems that the ramifications would be far greater then the yield of 2 or so extra wins they may pick between now and end of season with a new head coach.

Injury report on WT pretty illuminating. Said the club was sourcing advice from ACU Melbourne on his reoccurring hamstring problems

Yeah I know, I was… ahh it doesn’t matter

What are they paying him the rest of year to rehab so he’s cherry ripe next year? Only consolation is tigers not having to fork out 3/4 of a million for the mediocrity he’d no doubt serve up next year if he was still was wearing black white and gold.

Of the 27 players signed to next year, I’d keep 16. Not sure the club can amnesty/cut/trade 10 professionals in one off-season. Regardless of everyone at the clubs best efforts, it will be another 5 years to clean up the playing roster and support it with depth below. Good luck to Rich, Benji...

Could play Api at 7, Simpkin at 9, Da Silva at 14. I know the old adage “not weakening one spot to service another” but there’s not too many options in 30 odd available

No Naden, Staines, Bud or AJ in first grade please. Hope coach can find 17 able bodies to play for 80 next week.

I agree, but in your opinion is the talent in the same 17-20 players trotting out each week or is there talent outside of them not getting a start?

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...
