Marshall and Farah are up there right now
so in a couple of seasons (hopefully successful) they will hold the mantle IMO.
From then it could just depend on who stays at the club longer.

Top Balmain Tiger/s…..Gary Jack...Mick Neil....

Top Wests Tiger hard to split........Hodgo and Skando........but I'll give it to Skando....Hodgo spent time at the Eels so he losses 1/2 a point.........

If Benji has another few years injury free he will get my vote.....

Top WT youngster.........who else...Chris Lawrence......

HMM GARRY JACK AND MICK NEIL WERE BOTH MAGPIES BEFORE THEY WERE TIGERS TOO.I THINK WESTS WOULD HAVE TO BE THE MOST PLAGIARISED CLUB IN THE COMP. :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

 

[tigger2010]

Gary "Jimmy" Jack, underrated and i think one of the best fullbacks ever,Tim Brasher was awesome too but when he hit his best most of the tigers greats were gone,then u always have to mention elias,roach,sironen and pearce all as tough as they come,Gary freeman was also a fave,WESTS TIGERS best for 05 prince and marshall,all up farah,marshall,hodgo and skando,,,farah the most consistent and best all around performer,hodgson for his toughness and leadership,and extra points to skando for a great comeback last yr,helped us when we needed it

 

[X-Pac]

Tim Brasher and Paul Sironen were my faves

Hi everyone

Of all time - Keith Barnes - Golden Boots - Balmain legend.

Followed closely by Benny Elias - now there's a star player!!

Can't go past Benji for the Wests Tigers - if only for that flick pass!!

Well, it looks like no one here has ever watched a football game in their lives. Without a doubt, the number one Tiger of all time is one Kerry "Buckets" Hemsley.

I thought this was about the best ever Wests Tigers player, not Balmain Tigers. Best 2 Wests Tigers players are Marshall and Farah.

Why did you think that??

It says favourite tiger,and Im pretty sure Balmain are known as the tigers.

If you wanna flap on about the maggies,start a thread about it.

 

[bonstonker]

farah,then daylight second.

benji doesn't get no.1 because of the years wasted on the sidelines.too many years benji didn't give production for his salary.
there is no blame for that,just the way it is.

the investment in farah has paid huge dividends.
when we go through a tough period in a game it always seems like farah is the one igniting us again.
farah gets more ticks as an allround football player than benji at this stage of their careers.

as for balmain,i can never pick one.

Balmain Tigers–-----So many to choose from, I go way back Big Artie and Geoff Starling are two names that come to mind along with Tin legs Barnes and of course from a more recent era Benny,Blocker and junior were good

WestTigers----I put Farah in front of Benji by a whisker of the present day crop but I think it was Prince and Hogo that got us the holly grail in 2005\. I dont think Prince gets enough kudos for his efforts in 2005 he won us so many games that year

Of course we all have our favorite players and they are not always the best, but always had a soft spot for our many pommie imports over the years--and the one who i thought was brillant was Gary Schofield.

Where do you think that Jack and Neil came from. Deduct some points for both.
