BWG 2026 Wests Tigers Awards - NRL, Cup, Flegg, SG Ball

[BlackWhiteGold]

Over the next few weeks, I will post my Player Rankings in this thread for each grade of the Wests Tigers from NRL down to SG Ball.

Purely my opinion from watching every game we played in these grades (sometimes twice) and that includes Wests & Balmain in SG Ball earlier this season.

Unfortunately due to time, I could not do the same for the other junior rep grades, just watched the odd LDC, Harold Matts & AJC games and predominantly highlights.

Anyway don't take any of this any other way aside from my opinion but should make some interesting reading and discussion over the off-season.

FYI, my scoring was giving worthy players a 3,2,1 each match, sometimes just 3 players, other times many more in a game and sometimes no player deserved a 3 and other times two or three players deserved a 3.

I'll try to post NRL today.

Later on, I'll also do a write-up on who I see as our best pathways talent coming through.

Enjoy or critique!

Thanks, BWG, love your opinions of the lower grade players who we don't often get to see.
