    Tigers not guaranteed home final

    Just read this in the SMH, that even if the Tigers finish 4th they are not guaranteed a home semi final in week one. The NRL will choose the venues for any Sydney teams in the finals and if we finish 4th and say, the Dragons 5th, the NRL is likely to make ANZ the venue in week 1\. that sucks...

    Sunday's weather

    I hope the ABC weatherman got things wrong last night, but he was forecasting an east coast low to form off the coast over the weekend with strong winds and some heavy rain predicted for Sydney. The BOM site is predicting strong winds but only scattered showers. Could be a scrappy affair on...

    Grandstand interview with Tim Sheens

    ABC Grandstand had a great interview with Tim Sheens a couple of hours back. He talked about the Tigers season so far, injuries, losing our left edge, Benji's defence last night (and our halves defence, generally), Dwyer, Blair. I thought he made some good points. It has now been downloaded to...

    Ellis interview

    There is a great interview with Gareth Ellis on the ABC website at http://www.abc.net.au/news/audio/2010/09/20/3016971.htm. I saw some video of the interview on the news tonight and Ellis the smile on his face and excitement in his voice is great. Gotta love the guy. I'm officially excited now…...

    I have to ask - was Fifita not 100%

    That's the only explanation I can find for him getting so little game time. I was sitting in Bay 14 so had a good look at the bench. I kept waiting for him to come on. He'd get up, have a little run, stretch and then sit back down. I thought, ah, there saving him for the 2nd half when the...

    Why I hate the McIntyre finals system

    Thought I should get in now, before I get accused of raising this after the fact. I do not like the NRL McIntyre system. I think how you progress or fail in the finals should be determined by your performance and your performance only. Other results should have no effect on you. I hate the fact...

    Daniella just got ruled out

    From the tigers website http://www.weststigers.com.au/default.aspx?s=article-display&id=29854&title=daniela-out-of-titans-clash Wests Tigers have received another injury setback ahead of tomorrow night’s blockbuster clash against the Gold Coast Titans at Skilled Park with the loss of centre...

    How good does the competition ladder look?

    I can't stop looking at it. **NRL first grade: 24 rounds, Tigers in 2nd position.** How good is that? (i have to go back 30 years to 1980 to find a time when Wests were doing better, leading with 2 rounds to go. I don't know my Balmain history that well, but i'm sure someone can fill me in)...

    Now the bogies off our back..

    Now the bogies off our back and we are all but assured of playing finals football again, do you think we might relax a little and find our groove and really let loose over the next few weeks? I imagine the atmosphere out at Concord this week would have been pretty good.

    I hate golden point

    Always have, always will. It doesn't guarantee you will not have a draw and can result in heartbreak like tonight. Our season changed in 9 seconds there tonight. A draw would have done us, a loss and we are now back in the pack and no certainty of making the 8. What is wrong with a good ol'...

    The Tigers turned up, but where were the fans?

    The only disappointing thing about tonight was the lack of Tigers supporters at the game - just over 10,000 (and I think that included seagulls). I thought we were a dedicated bunch, but where were we tonight? That was our smallest crowd since we played Brisbane at Campbelltown on a Friday in...

    Phil gould the apologist

    Phil Gould just makes me sick. He continues to ignore the basic fact that the Storm CHEATED.
