    1989 Grand Final

    Gets replayed regularly on Fox...but to this day, I can't stand looking at it. Just one of those things that stay with you a long, long time. If not forever. Some wounds never heal.

    Tigers v Sharks - a perspective

    Quite impressed by the Sharks last night, in their win against the Raiders, all things considered. It got me thinking though about their squad vs ours. Whilst they have some really good players, to me the overall "value" of their squad, on paper, is not that much greater than ours. I stress on...

    The perfect 10...

    And no, to be clear, and for the "vintage" crowd reading this, I am not talking about Bo. What is special about ten? Number ten symbolizes the completion of a cycle. Ten is the base of the decimal numeral system, by far the most common system of denoting numbers in both spoken and written...

    Game management

    I think the whole of the off season should be spent on how to manage a game when in a winning psoition. I appreciate that it is hard to do with a young team, but when you start to have an eye on the clock, with 10 minutes to go, and play defensively, then that's when things go pear shaped and...

    Games tonight...

    Without doubt, one of the best"combo" I've seen for a while, when not is a semi final series... The race gets better at evey game.

    When players turn on fans

    Looking at what has happened lately, with the WT and also some Manly players (against Canberra) it reminded me that there have been many previous occasions, in other sports. I recall Mark Bosnich's Naz salute at WHite Hart Lane; not to mention the controversy with Adam Goods, to bring it to a...

    Players body language

    I am no expert BUT looking at what happens when a try is scored against us, I see a lot of bewildered faces, or even some eye-pointing... and not one player rallying the troops to regroup and stay positive. I dare say even the coach is looking more and more dejected. I understand this is hard...

    WestTigers run to Sept

    H Bulldogs H Sea Eagles H Cowboys A Raiders A Titans Realistically, can we win any of these games, considering that most (if not all) will be looking to consolidate a spot in the 8s.? It will take "an extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is...

    From the famous movie...

    The good - Taylan May The bad - our decision making in attack The ugly - the win, but 2 points are 2 points!

    When a win is all that matters...

    After 6 losses, we came preiously close to losing another. Give it another 5 minutes and we'd been cooked (ironic, that a chook should do that!). Yes, we did concede a few soft trys; we had 28 points scored against us, from an under strength Roosters outfit; and at times, in attack, we still...

    When the going gets tough...

    We don't show up. Seems to me, looking at the game last night, that as long as Penrith played within themselves, and up until half time, we were in it. However, 5m in the second hald and it was obvious that Penrith had gone up a gear and we had no idea on how to control the game. This is where...

    Hopeful despair ...

    We supporters have been, since 2005, in a state of hopeful despair. A state where one may feel hopeless or deeply discouraged about a situation, but still clings to the possibility of a positive outcome. That's us, isn't it? Picture the last game against the cows. Anyone looking at the result...

    The ONE difference..

    Where Souths had their chances, they took them. Where we had our (multiple) chances, we didn't. Had no idea, really. Momumental performance by Api - as for the rest, including a social media aficionado and a would be soon to depart superstar, I draw a veil. They huffed and puffed but...

    Coaching ranks

    Can we lok at upcoming / younger coaches and see them as future winners or shapers of the game, in the sense of Gibson, or Warren Ryan? Consider this crop: Brad Arthur; Dean Young; Trent Barrett; Ben Hornby; Kevin Walters; Jason Demetriou ... most first grade coaches that have failed to make a...

    Luai and the drop out kick

    Apologies if it has been covered already, but when it comes to drop out kicks, I am not sure why he pushes the envelope as much as he does. Ultimately it is a risky play, if not timed perfectly. If it is a ploy to slow the play down / organize the defence, then I don't know what an extra...
