Who's going to play halfback? Brooks is suspended.

Has anyone seen Jesse Parahi in action in Sevens rugby? I think he's signed as an outside back, but his defence and leg drive is so good he might be suited to the back row. Check this out… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1Cf1XUUPkk

Wests Tigers chairwoman Marina Go has urged the club’s supporters to keep the faith as they wade way through a salary cap mess that could take three years to fix. In the lead-up to the Tigers’ game against the table-topping Broncos, Go revealed the full extent of the cap issues which have...

I'd look at signing these: Cronulla Blake Ayshford, Chris Heighington, Pat Politoni, Junior Roqica Manly Manaia Rudolph North Queensland Robert Lui Parramatta Luke Kelly Penrith Panthers Lewis Brown, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Shaun Spence South Sydney Rabbitohs Joel Reddy, Setefano Taukafa...

Yeah, flew up on the day of the game. Bloody ridiculous.

Flying up on the day of the game!!! Bloody ridiculous.

Tony Ford was virtually bashed out of the game in the early 70s, suffering a series of concussions as a result of stiff-arm tackles. In one televised game against East at Lidcombe Oval he was making a stepping run up the middle of the field when Alan McKean smashed him with the worst stiff-arm I...

He came to Wests from Canterbury. Was a good reserve grader, probably didn't really fulfil his potential. I played social cricket with his dad Bruce for Tooheys.

I think they ban Fanta in that area. Coco-Cola only allowed.

Have a look at Blake Ayshford's try last week. When Simona made the break, Benji was the ONLY one to sprint in support. If he hadn't, the movement would have ended at the half-way line where Simona was caught by the defence. And he had the vision to see the open spaces on the right side, where...

But what has he done yet? Seems to be a long way off first grade standard at the moment, let alone representative class. Give him time. Too much pressure at this stage isn't a good thing.

Yeh, I never used to miss a game in those days. 1984 was a hard year, but the people we used to sit with each week made it fun anyway. Being involved in the Supporters Club, we made so many friends, sadly a lot have passed on, but the memories will never disappear.

How good are these memories? I remember one day when we played Illawarra at Lidcombe in 1985, I was selling the doubles on the hill side, it was wet, windy and freezing, only a couple of thousand diehard fans there, and there was ONE guy in one of the temporary stands at the north-east end of...

Can Paul Fletcher coach? He has access to all of Wests’ players as well as Balmain and The Wests Tigers leftovers, but results overall are very disappointing.

From Ashfield Boys High in the 60s: Geoff Smith (Wests Amco Cup replacement 1977) Nick Moroko (Wests mid-70s) …and in music-land: Malcolm and Angus Young (AC/DC)

I agree the future (and certainly the present) is going to be Wests Tigers as far as NRL is concerned, but all supporters have to realise that future players have to come from somewhere. They can’t all be bought, We have to DEVELOP the next breed of Wests Tigers players, and Wests Magpies and...
