For years I've been saying to my mates and on this forum that weststigers players don't have the physiques that successful team players have, if you look fit and strong with muscle definition and speed to burn then the chances are your going to be able to compete well. In 2021 I am seeing a definite improvement in our players bodies. Whilst this isn't a reflection on our poor start to the season I feel we are building a Madge style team, I just hope we can sign a Dale Finucane type of player to add some consistency to our pack and a speedster brute winger like Maika Sivo. Who is your tigers pick for a player who looks fit and strong and who we can build a team around, my pick is AD who looks like he's going to keep developing into a SOO type of player...Thoughts??
 
we have no anger. I never feel our forwards can hit the ball up hard and punch through the line.

Forget about Sivo. Poor guy gets a neck injury after every tackle, it's unbelievable.

Mikaele has been having impact off the bench. Lucy is always damaging with the ball too.

I have to agree. The forwards often look like they're going through the motions rather than a JWH that looks like he's trying to hurt anyone that gets in the way.
 
This from a mate of mine who played for Manly Reserves many years ago
"Hows those West tigers pussycats going mate. Flogged by the mighty Eagles. 40 to 6.lol"

It says it all really
