    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...

    Another nail biter..

    A positive is that in recent years, a game like this would have most probably got away from us. Credit to the playing group for holding firm. However, in the second half, it is true to say that we went back in our shell and really didn't show much entrepreneurship with the ball. The Dragons were...

    Enough said...!

    What a win, but boys, we arent't young men / women anymore!! (Well, according to the poll...)

    Mental toughness

    I am sure it is a personal thing when I watch the Tigers...however, as bad as Newcastle was, up until the last 10m, I had this gut feeling that, had the Knight crossed earlier in the second half, a few heads would have gone down, even if up by 16-20 points, and could have been a lot tougher for...

    Tom Gilbert...

    this is one is for you!! :cool: Solid performance, with a bit more control of our sets close to the line, we may be on the verge of something good. Bring on the Warriors!!

    It's either a glass half full...or half empty

    Really depends on how you look at it, but for a team to score only a single try, it is a concern, given we weren't playing an inpenetrable defence. The return of Api will help. Our million dollar man will need time to settle in, but he really needs to do this sooner rather than later. But not...
