If you got something to say, then just say it Tigh. Stop beating around the bush.

Unless you have the money to pay for our legal bill you'll have to wait.

This could be the most visited topic on the forum for 2011\. Hope it is all a sick beat up.

Watch the news - it will be on tonight. If not 6pm - the late edition.

So why post updates to our facebook page then not reveal anything. I understand the legal issues but this is very frustrating.

Its going to be interesting to see how WT handle this. Not what we and the NRL wanted leading up to start of the NRL season. It could possibly relieve some selection headaches for Sheens from an attacking perspective.

This is exactly the sort of thing that could derail our season before it even starts… :bawling
Don't want to find out what it is...

If this is a big player why haven't the media got it yet and plastering everywhere? You know how they love this stuff.

Several sources have suggested that a high-profile Wests Tigers player was involved in a 'serious' incident last night in The Rocks. Whilst details are still vague, it is understood that the incident involved a physical altercation.

Posters on the forum have indicated that there would be an emergency board meeting held tonight.

Whilst still speculation, confirmation is being sought…

UPDATE: The Daily Telegraph has posted details on their website, saying that Benji Marshall was the player allegedly involved in an incident in the CBD this morning.

UPDATE: Wests Tigers have confirmed that Benji Marshall was involved in an incident. Meanwhile Ch 7 and the Sydney Morning Herald have reported that Benji retaliated to a group of 10 men who were racially abusing him.

I wonder who is it. We do not need this before the season starts.
