    Grant vs Smith

    With both games back to back facilitating ready comparison,whilst Smith still had the vision and organizational skills,he is way too slow to be a threat running out from dummy half under the new rules,and Bellamy wldnt have missed this. Enjoy Grant while weve got him...which will be just this...

    Surely the halves experiment is over?

    Neither can tackle,placing huge pressure and eventually fatigue on the other 11 on the park . Altho Moses makes an attempt in defence(Brooks "efforts were truly embarrasing)but he adds absolutely nothing in attack,so surely he has to go. Not the only problem,but a major contibutor

    Learnings from 9s so far(early days)

    1)Tedesco has surprising pace-if someone can put him in space,this mite be his year. 2)Richards provides stability , size & vesrasaitility in the backs. 3)Tapou,Patterson & Gavet are all big & mobile,exactly what we need ,& mite finally restore some respect to the pack thats been missing since...

    Reddy

    Wasnt a big fan of his signing,but hes been an absolute rock & offers the sort of reliability every 1st grade team needs Won me over,& hope he stays with us

    Lote resigned??

    Has Lote officially re-signed,& if so for what term?- Seems to be an assumption on other threads in this forum that he has,but havent seen or heard anything? Personally I think it wld be a backward step given his form over past two seasons on the few ocassions he got on the field,& he'll command...

    What a mess...

    We have a coach with an unaffordable $1milion payout who isnt wanted,& totally knows it.Unless a 3rd party(Warriors??) helps out by signing Sheens,paying him this sort of $$ to leave us is crazy Whilst still in charge(albeit maybe temprarily)Sheens is cleaning out loyal tigers,some in their...

    Warriors our only hope for 2013

    Given Sheens is still sitting on another 2 years of his WT contract ,he wont be going anywhere soon,unless… ...he looks over his shoulder at the reported $1mill Bennett is being paid,the $800k offered to Haslar by both Dogs and Manly,& more recently the $750k paid to Stuart,and ...comes to the...

    "Moltzens new deal takes the pressure off"

    This fine piece of reporting,which greets us all when we open WT Forum, encapsulates the current culture of WT Sign a big,fat,secure long term deal with WT,then you can just sit back & relax the next few years because nobody(particularly the coach)will ever make you accountable for your...

    5 current international forwards and...

    …we still seem to get smashed up front and our defence exposed in the middle.We also have two of the best young props in the game. Sure Galloway is out,& Ellis too last w/e,but we havent been close to winning a forward battle all season. ..and were talking about buying another forward in...

    Use of bench

    Bii surprised that with such a tired team that was hampered by injuries ,we barely used the young forward off the bench,& Fitz only in last 4 minuites. Been doing thi most of the season,but think it really told on us last nite. Fantastic effort from those out there who pushed 110%,but fresh...

    Ellis good enough for Aust team??

    Apparently Sheens told Gould Ellis wld make Kangaroos if he was an Aussie. You know something,,,Ihe just delivers week in week out,& reckon hed be one of the first players picked. You cant say that about the watmoughs & waterhouses & co

    Lui

    I understand he's still young,but weve seen almost a full season of him know & Im prepared to conclude that in the absence of a dramatic improvement ,he isnt going to make it in 1st grade at WT. His attitude in defence is apalling for a 1st grader,& maybe its a clash of styles with Benji or...

    Size does matter!

    One of the few times weve picked a heavyweight pack,with Ellis & payten in the second row,& for once we actually dominate the ruck area against a team that normally treats our forward pack as speed humps! Granted our attitude in defence played a huge role,but at times the formidable(on...

    Salary cap stress time

    Congrats to Tiges for finally snaring their man,but gonna be interesting juggling salary cap with our third $400k player…we may well give the rorters a run for their money in this department! Way I figure it,weve got Benji,farah & Lote all around $400k,Ellis,Galloway,Payten & lawrence all around...

    Go forward disappointing

    A win is a win,& to be celebrated at this stage of the season,but am sure other top 8 contenders wld have noticed our surprising lack of penetration by our forwards for most of the match(Ellis excepted). Little wonder Sheens made 3 early substitutes Worse still,the big Easts forwards seem to...

    Gallant

    Another really good game from mighty mouse. Two observations..Ray Hadley suggested he was the fastest fullback in the game(Slater/Bowen??),which is quite a compliment. Secondly,I was disappointed in Sheens post match comments where the interviewer focussed on contributions of both Moltzen &...
