    Why is Fulton so well regarded?

    I don’t know much about Fulton, but the media seem to hold him in high regard and his appointment was well received. Does anyone know why, I don’t look at Manly‘s recruitment as an example of excellence, has he been great ant identifying youth? what am I missing?

    Going to plan

    The decisions by the club since we let Madge go has led me to think its all part of the plan. We have let key players go (LL and Noffa) when we are a good chance of getting our first wooden spoon. I'd think this would be something we would be desperately trying to avoid, yet it doesn't look that...

    There is a God

    Call it what you will but something spiritual happened here tonight, for much of the first half the Panthers looked the better side, but by divine intervention Melbourne led 22-0. A penalty try, an intercept and an a Cam Smith fluke were the answer to my prayers. Then Penrith got a sniff...

    The Ref's

    It’s easy, and maybe true to say that we just weren’t good enough to win on Sunday, but I’m pretty unhappy that we didn’t get an opportunity either. There were a number of decisions during the game that together robbed our guys of the opportunity to compete. The following come to mind: *...

    Best Win, Worst Loss

    Looking back on 2016, what was your favourite win and what was the toughest loss? Sundays game was right up there because we had so much to play for. however, I thought the loss to the Roosters was the toughest loss for me to take. They have had the wood on us for a number of years and I really...

    Tigers should drop Benji: Fittler

    Rugby league great Brad Fittler says the Wests Tigers have to consider dropping Benji Marshall after an abysmal display against Gold Coast on the weekend. Marshall, who is expected to announce he has signed with Super Rugby team the Auckland Blues later today, made four runs for 19 metres...

    Understanding Team Selection

    The farcical situation of Sutton & Reynolds having to "face off" against each other for origin selection leaves me with some doubt over Fulton and Daley's capacity to manage a football team. Surely a decision could be made based on their current form, utility value and ability under pressure...

    Slater kicks Klemmer in the neck

    Against the Bulldogs, Slater jumps to take a bomb and puts his foot out and gets Klemmer straight in the neck. The penalty initially went Melbourne's was but was reversed. Those of you that saw it what did you think? I believe Slater does it intentionally, maybe not to intentionally kick...

    Mixing Footy and Gambling

    I saw on the Sydney Morning Herald website that a gambling reform senate committee has asked for Nine to explain the presence of Tom Waterhouse on the commentary panel. In the article Nick Xenophon is quoted to have said: ''Tom Waterhouse has pushed the envelope to the extent that it has now got...

    Origin Impact

    I'm a little worried we may be heavily impacted by Origin this year, in past years we only had one or two or zero Origin reps, but the recent spat of injuries (Buderus, Jennings and now Gallen) may result in a few Tigers getting the nod. Farah, Lawrence, Woods and Galloway could all potentially...

    SBW

    Have to admit I was a bit peeved when channel nine brought out Sonny Bill Williams.If SOO is considered the jewel in RL, why do channel nine bring on this fool. Gallop should ask them down to NRL headquarters with a please explain.

    Demoted

    Can anyone tell me the last time Sheen's demoted a player for lack of performance? I can't remember it happening, maybe some of our guys could benefit from playing in the lower grades.
