Hi everyone, Ran this by Kul prior to posting (Thank you Kul) A couple of weeks ago myself and helmesy (fellow long term member of the forum) decided to start up a new podcast. DIdn't know each other before hand apart from arguing on the forum and being tragic Tigers fans!. Joel (helmesy) has...

Hi All, https://soundcloud.com/user-378434703/wests-tigers-update-november-2018-5-biggest-talking-points Not sure if this is in the right section. Mods feel free to move. Aiming to do one podcast a month before the season kicks off in March. Before becoming more regular. Here discuss the 5...

Until we find some of that in the backs and forwards we are a prime candidate to go backward next season. This year we eeked out wins, we played hard generally and defended well. We played above ourselves I thought most weeks. However we have the worst attack in the comp and its simply because...

When you have been losers for so long you have to hold onto something. You got to start somewhere.e. This year the for the first time in 7 years we have at least won as much as we have lost. Sometimes 28 jags you finals sometimes it doesn't. If we won next week we would be the first team ever...

Geez he is a good runner of the ball and has tackled well this year - but he can be a headless chook in terms of organising a team. He has had a good season don't get me wrong. His best season in the NRL. However there is an organising part of his passing game which is missing completely for...

Brisbane are starting to fold up. Bennett looks like he could be out the door. Of course we now have our very own saga which could easily derail the last 4 Rounds. I had all but given up on finals however looking at the draw their may be an opening if we can string 3 wins together. Brisbane...

HI all, Not sure if anyone is interested but just some of my thoughts on the whole saga in a podcast. Tried to be balanced and taking my Tigers hat off at times to discuss various things including Phil Gould, Penrith, Ivan/Nathan Cleary and where the Tigers go from here. Obviously some of this...

Just wondering on everyones general thoughts on him? I think he has done a pretty good job in general. He has put a lot on the line with his comments tonight to the members. The tone of his message to me was (reading between the lines) that Ivan had some bad news for him and he wont have a bar...

I reckon Gould might try and get him to come back. He wants to coach his son. Gus gets to keep his Origin halfback. I wouldn't bet against it. Not saying he would but can a coach simply walk out if he gets a better offer?

Even at 34 Robbie is still a class player. So good to see him not with the handbrake on taking opportunities when they bob up. Despite the commentators talking garbage about overplaying his hand - he set up all 3 Tries against a good defence .Not many hookers can go 80 minutes especially given...

Hi all, Had not done one of these in a while. 20 Minute Podcast looking at my 10 biggest talking points from my perspective of our 2018 season - my 5 biggest positives and 5 biggest negatives. Talk about individual players, team culture, type of signings made, attack/defence, and the rebuild...

How can we be expected to compete when our 700K Prop runs for less then 50 metres in his last 4-5 games? He does a lot of shuffling out there. A lot of talk but not much actions. Some people in the Grandstand even gave him a big applause when he came off after his first stint?! Maybe he has a...

Im not sure what we are building here if we cant get in and grind with teams? Thats what we are meant to be good at. Our ball control has been horrible for 8-10 weeks and our tackling has fallen away badly. Slow forwards that cant dent the line. Slow and under sized outside backs. Its not a...

Im talking about the likes of Lolihea, Reynolds, Packer, Matalino, Macqueen ?! We have invested a fair bit of money in these players. Reynolds body is failing him - hammies and calves can ruin a halfs confidence. Look at Foran. Packer and Ben are not giving us any real mongrel at the minute...

I have been a huge critic at times over the years however I think along with Brooks and Thompson he has been outstanding this year. Maybe he was surrounded by too many egos or over zealous game plans over the years as well as his injuries however he is really having an impact this year. His...

I was out there today among the members. It was an ugly game. Fans were frustrated at times but always supporting. The attack and errors were poor at times but the effort was constant. Not the anger or disenchantment or vitriol from the stands previous years or anything like that. My point is...

I just think Thompson has been outstanding this year at fullback. He has saved so many tries through last minute efforts and failed to drop even one high ball. All these little things sometimes go unnoticed until maybe he is not there anymore. His positional play is really sound and he competes...

This is not a negative post. We have played really good, honest footy this year. We just lack speed and power which is what the top sides have. I thought at the start of the year we had the worst roster in the comp talent wise but had decent depth. I thought we would run 2nd last so I'm really...

To use A favourites Sheens quote "I don't like making excuses but their are reasons." :mrgreen: Is it any wonder we are looking a bit tired? The Injuries have not been crucifying us but have been chipping away. 9 Rounds in * 2 x 6 Day Turn Arounds * 2 x 5 day turn arounds. * 2 Trips to NZ...

Sure Benji was ordinary. However we are getting smashed in the ruck. Knights, Eels and Warriors are steamrolling us in the middle and getting quick play the balls. We are playing off the back foot all night. Teams are running out of dummy half and we are being forced intoalotof legs tackles as...
