We have reached an interesting moment in our progress, with the rise of Eisenhuth and Twal. Does this make it the inclusion in the side of Taylor a liability ?. Eisenhuth has had a strong defensive game and with the addition of Twal they really add to the defensive structure. Taylor's lack of...

We have a dire need for speed out wide and I reckon that Marika fits the bill. He demonstrated with us his ability to use his speed to take advantage of a gap or to run the length of the field. His time at at Melbourne has improved the one thing he was poor at here, his positioning in defence...

The Dragons forum are reporting that they think that Dugan is on his way to the Dogs. Apparently they upped their offer but Dugan has knocked them back. Worst thing for us is that it probably means we will miss out on Packer and Milne as now the Dragons have the money to keep them.

If JAC departs which is on the cards, I would be making a slight reshuffle. Chee Kam into the centres and Tim onto the wing. This fixes multiple problems for us, 1.Saves us spending money on the cap 2\. Gives us speed on the wing 3\. Solidifies our defence out wide and still providing thrust...

The absence of Robbie Farah for 6 weeks could be a blessing in disguise. There was a marked sprarkle in attack when Cheery came on with that extra pace and better pass. I like the opportumity its gives him for an extended period to expand his game savvy, his teamwork with Brooks expecially...

WARRIORS PROP A WANTED MAN Defending premiers North Queensland have their eye on Warriors forward Charlie Gubb. It’s understood Gubb has been a topic of discussion at the Cowboys, with props Ben Hannant and James Tamou off contract at the end of 2016. Gubb, who is off-contract in 2016 with an...

Michael Chee Kam has something we have lacked in our centres for awhile - size. I would love to see him in the centres in 2016 as I think he has the the ability to be our strike centre making a major impact next year. He has the pace, size and whats more the skill to really add something to...

Unfortunately for Mania Cherrington his timing is terrible, Robbie I reckon will front up at the WTs for another 2-3 years, probably 3 before his powers start to wane. Cherrington is in the unfortunate position of being his understudy, which leaves him games due to injury or SOO games. Very...

2012 was a year to forget for Chris Lawrence, being basically ruined by that unforgettable injury. He has had a good period of time to recover, pick up his speed and generally geet his body into condition for a hard hopefully successful year. On his return his play had suffered, understandably...

Israel Folau, hopeful of returning to the NRL and expected to fit it in Parramatta has been valued at $400k by Ian Schuburt. All previous expectations had him at around the $1m mark. At this price I reckon he is a bargain and would love the WT's to make room to fit him in under the cap. If...

What I'm hoping Potter brings to the WT's in 2013 in a slighly varied style of play. Our play with Sheens evolved into a throw the ball about style of play without a great deal of structure, Our forward play consisted of forwards charging into the marker to I assume try and tire them out with...

With two such great talents in our junior ranks in Billy Kitt and Mitchell Moses we have great potential for the future. The selectors however, have a real problem. Only one of these two guys will make the side at half. Does the coach make Kitt half and Moses 5/8 ? Does one of them miss out...

I think it's time that a lot of people get a grip. All this talk of dissatisfaction with the club, not renewing membership etc etc is pretty pathetic. If you are a club supporter you support the club, express your dissatisfaction for sure but keep supporting the club in the tough times as well...

From my lofty perch here in Brisbane I didn't see any of the game but from what little I have read the result does not auger well for the future prospects of Miller. Too my mind a player who has ambitions to play the top grade and already has experience would have taken control, urged his...

Some teams have a balance between backs and forwards - equally strong eg Manly or the Broncos. Some teams have a stronger pack eg Souths. Some teams have a stronger backline eg Parramatta. Where are we at ?? I like the guile and creativity of Farah, the power and strength of Blair, Big Red...

Phil Rothfield from the Telecrap reckons "Tim Sheens has the best pack of forwards in the competition with Storm recruit Adam Blair, Keith Galloway, Robbie Farah, Gareth Ellis and Chris Heighington leading the charge. Throw in Liam Fulton and rookies Aaron Woods and Matt Groat and it’s an...

Looking at his efforts this year I reckon he has reason to be pleased with himself. Not only has he had to adjust from Fijian life to that of a large metropolis, he has done it without any preseason training. He has had, in my opinion, a very good season first up. He has scored his share of...

Was just reading the RLW this morning and in the Wests Tigers page of info it listed Curtis Sironen as the young gun player to watch. That started me thinking as to his future in the club. He plays 5/8, a position Benji has made his own and is short odds to do so for the remainder of his...

Tension between Wests Tigers captain Robbie Farah and coach Tim Sheens a storm in a tea cup by: James Hooper From: The Sunday Telegraph December 04, 2011 12:00AM No rift: Tim Sheens. Source: The Sunday Telegraph WESTS Tigers coach Tim Sheens has broken his silence on the Four Nations rift with...

To my mind Sheens has to pick either Fulton or Heighington in the side for 2012 and leave the other player out of the 17. I believe that size has become such a factor that we carn't carry 2 players that size into the game when we can have a player like BMM come into the game and make an impact...
