I never thought I would like the idea of DCE playing with the Roosters. Seeing the combined butt-hurt, oh man it is so GOOD! 4-40 vs Penrith. OWCH.

I haven't read an article that I went, man you have gotten this way off. https://www.zerotackle.com/ranking-every-nrl-spine-for-2026-230772/ So they have from 17-1 Dragons (fair) Clint Gutherson, Kyle Flanagan, Daniel Atkinson, Damien Cook Titans (kinda) Keano Kini, AJ Brimson, Jayden...

Just some thoughts I have been thinking about positions and where Wests Tigers have ended on the ladder. Forwards/Props/etc: ignoring this for now. But you need a forward pack that can hold their own. Hooker: Usually we have had a pretty top class hooker. Be that Robbie Farah or Api...

Something has shifted in the NRL. Someone like NAS was worth 850k to the storm a season. Yes his form has dropped a little, but not that much. Bunty Afoa was a Warriors Regular, now is punted to us as Unwanted. K Hunt would be a prop pick 5 years ago, Craig Fitzgibbon pushed him away and we...

Quoting Tom Shines who is quoting Shane Richardson: I went back and watched again to see exactly what he said .. “The playing squad is now locked in virtually for the next two years. We won’t be signing any …Don’t get excited fans waiting for the end of next year and we gunna sign… We are...

The wests tigers have appointed Craig Sandercock after a long search. "We were on the lookout for a NRLW coach that the players would absolutely have no chance of having a relationship with. In mr Sandercock, we feel assured that none of the players would ever consider marriage material...

Do we care? Yea... Raiders vs Sharks. Bulldogs vs Panthers. I like these matchups. Lets see how this weekend goes.

Just asking, you know for a friend?? Say you have 1 contract that is for 1.5M (total) and it's in... I don't know NSW. And another that's 500k (unsure if for entire year, or both years??), in your state where your family have recently moved too.... Would you, turn down 500k? (or more)?

either from NSW or QLD, who would you like to hire most: (I am going to leave Payne Haas out. I think he is just too big a gun/freak, he would automatically get picked.)

Hey mods... I took a quick look and don't get this. Why is round 9 vs Dragons locked? https://weststigersforum.com/threads/round-9-vs-dragons.36464/page-10 I see a discussion around the mighty Datsun 120y (my grandma had a dark blue 120y hatch and man it had it's own awesomeness too it.) I...

I am just thinking about the Galvin situation. So we sponsor Galvin, Latu and a bunch of others in their development. We pay 500k to get Sullivan here for 4 years as well, which is a lot of sunken cost. The solution: Buy Luai at 1.2M Look I get if the next Nathan Cleary walks into the...

Just a little weird. I see we won 30-18, but we have on the ladder listed the game as "Drawn" on NRL.com. Looks like our for/against wasn't updated since playing the knights either. I suspect their scorekeeper saw an 18-18 score and went home, or who knows.

https://www.nrl.com/draw/nrl-premiership/2025/round-1/wests-tigers-v-knights Looking at the stats, we actually did pretty well. One item we really lost out on is missed tackles. 51 to 26 from Newcastle. At the back half of the game we don't shutdown the knights attack and that is what really...

Wow looking at the team lists. Very lop sided this year. Expect the Maori to win, the question is the margin. https://www.nrl.com/news/2025/02/11/harvey-norman-all-stars-2025-team-lists/ That said, who cares. It's usually a great game and one to watch for the tries and excitement.

Come one, come all. Lets see your bold predictions for 2025. Post them here and let us judge.

I have been thinking about our bench rotation. Really between teams, 1-13 is pretty settled and people play the same roles. Some teams ride with 4 forwards/second row. some teams ride with 2 props in reserve. What do people think works for us and the team we have?

So now that season 2024 is over for the WT. Who are you going for in the finals? Does Cheering for Teddy and Easts make you glad? How about Brooks and the Eagles? How about a Vomit Bag?? Want to see Penrith do a 4-peet? Want to see Phil Gould smile with Dog success? Who are you going to be...

We were established when

Make tries 5 points instead of 4. Keep converted tries at 6 points, i.e. the conversion is worth +1 point only, not +2. With the Bulldogs beating Cronulla 2 tries to 3, I am totally sick of it. I know this happened to us a few times too. A try should be worth 5 points, not 4. A converted...
