Thanks for saying this.

Well, it'll be documented forever that you called it first.

We were close to / or / over the salary cap from 2009 - 2012. Robbie and Benji took 'paycuts' to make things fit that would get paid into their contracts next time around. There were other players too but they were the big ones. Benji took a verbal agreement and handshake from Humphries for a...

It's not the money that's the big issue, its the short duration of extra option. It accomplishes nothing in our favor. Even if we do take up the option, we're basically left stuck paying overs just to have to go in and negotiate a year later with two extra clubs joining the competition. Except...

I hope we win at least one of those two games. Adam Reynolds is an incredible player. If he plays he'll certainly have his moments. He was world class against us in Brisbane last year.. we were actually going really well.... didn't he score a field goal just before half time? I think there was a...

Guys its ultimately up to Jahream. He's clearly a devout Christian, and also seems pretty dedicated to helping out Blackfellas at the Redfern youth centre. He's no fool. He's not going to be swayed by chicanery real or imagined. Gould isn't going to tip the scales. This infernal contract is...

Sheens was political too tho. He pushed out a club CEO with an ultimatum because he didn't want to operate under KPIs and hated any kind of transparency and accountability of results of the football department... after 4 really, really, annoying years post 2005 with him tinkering around with...

I remember the Terry Lamb zipline! Raddison Maine! The Wolves of Queen Street. When I watched the Wolf of Wall Street and they called their business "Stratton Oakmont" -- I was like - jeez. they could Sponsor Wests. They fleeced 500k from Jeff Fenech too. I'm not sure we were at Concord under...

I used to think that about him. He's not. Champion players don't need to sh1thouse with the ref like he does. Champion players just make the difference with their footy. Same with the Storm and Cameron Smith. They were either cheating outright or too actively manipulative against what the game...

This thread is about 33% less stupid sounding when I first read it a month ago.

They've gone down the same path we did from 2017-2023 and ended up in the same place. Signing mercantile coaches, being the last stop saloon for middling former rep stars, and not being brave enough to give youth a chance. Flanagan is awful. He won his premiership on the back of bad boys...

You have to give the devil his due. Pascoe did not shank the COE. Even Richo said it's as good as any facility in the Southern Hemisphere.

I can remember the misery on the old Wests Tigers forum that was attached to the actual Wests Tigers website. The Broncos were at the absolute peak of their powers in those days. Casey McGuire, Scott Minto, Brett Seymour, Scott Prince, Corey Parker and Shane Walker were all legit first graders...

Just to make things even more brilliant, apparently the Broncos are still paying most of his wages. I'd be tempted to start him at 7. Only tempted tho. Also think its really important to remember that we signed him as a backup pivot for squad depth. He's doing his job brilliantly but...

He was class against the Knights. Chimed in to backline play the way we've been waiting for. We've got the option. Take it up! Before I change my mind again.

Richo was great but I also really like the look of Shaun Mielekamp. Shaun reminds me of Steve Noyce a bit. Running a club like ours (successfully) involves a lot of unglamorous work and engaging with working class punters in a way that top tier corporate execs have no idea about. Hope to see...

He was OUR ruthless prick. Great post.

Not sure about this one aye. He's pretty safe under the high ball but he's come off 2nd best a couple of times so far this season.

I'd fully support the club making both hills (safely) standing only to sell more tickets and boost the atmosphere. If you want to sit down for 80 minutes you can get seats in one of the grandstands. It's a good problem to have. Especially given that more people from Campbelltown are going to...

Dude why does it have to be 'Verses"?? Go and look at all the big and important must win late season games we have lost at Leichhardt Oval throughout our history. It's no fortress. We have bottled it there time and time again. Rabbitohs 2007 L Cronulla 2008 L Melbourne 2012 L Canberra 2016 L...
