I am really sick of the rise of schoolgirl hysterical gossip mongering so called NRL journalism, led by the likes of News and Fox and individuals such as Rothfield, Bulldog, Crawley, Carayannis, Hooper, Read and the like. Journos getting fed by despicable agenda-driven player managers. Constant...

Rumours are sweeping through rugby league circles that Aaron Woods is eyeing off a Maroon jersey in 2018\. Those close to him say he is sick of playing in a losing team and just wants to win. When pressed on the issue, Woods said, um, you know, um, I just wanna play footy, you know, and play...

The best way I can describe Wests Tigers is a poker machine. Keeps you interested with a few small wins here and there. Overall you lose and you know it but there is a small chance of a jackpot (2005). Any better analogies?

**Players** * two new centres (Simona to move to the wing). At the minimum one strong defending centre. Kev and Rankin to go or play reggies * Brooks to step up or let him go and recruit an organising #7 with strong defence* A rampaging second rower with mongrel* Need to lock up Moses...

In The Australian today, Proctor talked about the importance of showing loyalty to his club. “I’ve invested a lot of time into the club and agreeing to terms is about me showing my appreciation to Melbourne Storm and repaying the loyalty they have shown me in the seven years I have been here.”...

The drums are beating. Earlier in the week, the telegraph mentioned the dogs going after a current NRL fullback. Could it be Teddy? Tunks also mentioned this on Talkin Sports this afternoon. I hope not, he could be a great player. Also a friend (mad Manly supporter) said Manly were going to...

Our players have the skills to match most teams. Our players now have the physical attributes to match most teams. What we lack is mental toughness and grunt for 80 minutes. And that comes from onfield leadership from Farah and other senior players in the team. People who will join hands with...

We need Potter to be an innovator. We have the cattle to be competitive, but not the best. We need a coaching innovator to give us a sustainable edge. Bellamy introduced the wrestle at the Storm, Hasler the big forward pack playing like halfbacks, in 2005 we had Sheens and the touch football...

Our forward pack have been called lightweight, weak, soft, etc. This never gets said of the Storm who are considered tough and uncompromising, and provide a solid platform for their backs. But you look at the packs man for man, and we seem (mostly) to have the better players. **Props** - I...

My 2 cents worth on the issues at Wests. \ \ 1\. Mental: when things aren't going our way, we dont have the mental strength to hang in there and ride it out. This has been an issue for many years. Not easy to fix. Will take time and new players. 2\. We need an attacking fullback. Easy to fix...

I must admit that I quite like the look of our NSW Cup side. As a hypothetical, and as a bit of off-season fun, pretend our first grade and NSW Cup sides clashed this weekend. Who do you think would win? Is there a massive gap between the two sides? I would go First Grade 38 - NSW CUP 24...

Moltzen is quick (but not blinding), Lawrence was fast before his injuries but has since lost a yard or two of pace - would our fastest player now be Koro? Or perhaps one of the other young guns?

Why? 1\. We are unlikely to make the 8 so it is a nothing game. No pressure. 2\. Leichhardt Oval 3\. We are hot (vs. Dogs) and cold (vs. Roosters). We can be hot vs the good teams. 4\. Gareth Ellis farewell 5\. Players will be pumped after the dismal display last week 6\. Timmy will use the win...

They say defence is all about attitude. If that is the case, the team's attitude stinks. With the season on the line, they let a sub-standard team pile on 30 unanswered points. There was no grunt in the defence and they had no idea how to slow the tide. The worst thing is that we know the team...

Knowing the Tigers, and the way we like to make things difficult, we will end up losing this game and put the pressure on ourselves to beat Melbourne and make the finals. There is no doubt we are a better side than the Rooters, but will the boys turn up with the same attitude as last week and...

No posts for 9 days. Tiger99 come back - we miss your insight into the team. Your late mail is spot on.

What is the go with the WT players all having beards (apart from Rowdy). Is it about not shaving until you have a loss. Recall something similar last year going into the finals. I must admit they look bigger and meaner with facial hair. Keep it going boys. Lets have some Ned Kelly's by year end.

Having a quick look the silvertails forum. Gee, what bunch of tossers. Lots of homophobic comments about WT players, I think there may be quite a few supporters there struggling to get out of the closet. Anyway, typical comments below on our team: 1\. Tom Humble ( nothings more humbling than...

Just a quick warning to let everyone know that good old CityRail is doing trackwork this upcoming weekend between Sydney and Newcastle. There will be no trains at all. Buses will be on but are a nightmare. Looks like the only real option for Sydney-siders is to drive up the F3. More details -...
