I’ll man up , I’ve bagged the crap out of the coach and it appears I was w w wrong

Congratulation to Lee ,Justin ,Madge and Warren Mac for a job that appears to be well done

Now lets finally get it done on the field …no excuses , no mistakes and no mercy boys

Just calm down everyone …your expecting a 3 game rookie to completely organize the worst defensive line up over the last 10 rounds of 2020 in 6 weeks

I’m excited Laurie has signed …but don’t expect miracles from Rd 1 OK

As for Momi …he was no Steve Rodgers …but any bloke who is prepared to put his own career plans on hold to help a club he was only at for one year …is the type of bloke you want in the trenches with you

Good luck to both boys …hope Daine is a 200 + game WT and Momi has the Footy gods smile favourably on him …he is a true class act in my eyes

Any person mentioning Moylan …obviously hasn’t either watched him the last 2 years or looked at his Wiki bio to see how many games he has played from actual possible games played

PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS PASS

i dont think getting Laurie a season early is worth getting Mansour …even if it is only for a season or two …just my opinion

I must admit I was very anti his signing …thought it was more about the fans than footy

Well I was wrong …he has been pretty good …well worth the money

Sorry Benji …

Who else wants to take their feet out of their mouths

Rumours of Mitchell Pearce coming now. Thoughts?

Absolutely NOT - he never wanted to be a Tiger - until he is spent.

Don’t believe it anyway.

@TheDaBoss said in Forum member of the year:

Hello all

Was wondering if anyone would like to do a forum member of the year

This process can be done on the form of a poll, and forum members can vote on the forum member who they think has contributed, and been a positive forum member.

Once voting is finished (have a week to vote) the votes r gathered and the forum member of the year is , a reward for the forum member of the year can be a year forum subscription and a tag next to their name ( similar to the forum supporter tag) sayibg Forum Member of the Year …

Let me know your thoughts on this

Kind Regards-boss

Got bad news …its in my contract ,Willow sends me out a picture and a plaque every year

The bloke not getting many mentions while he was on was Kepaoa …up until he was injured … reckon that was his best performance in a WT’s jersey

If he can repeat that …

I blame all of this on Corey Thompson … he was the one who claimed he would not give up his spot without a fight

He scared Latrell off

I don’t think Finucane is a plodder , but I think his best injury free years might be passing or my have even passed

4 years is a lot for a player like Finucane at 29

Let me guess …as usual Benji didn’t show up against a Top 4 side

@momo_amp_medo said in Coronavirus Outbreak:

Sydney Roosters players have been sent for testing and may be forced to isolate in the wake of Sydney’s Covid-19 outbreak.

An Eastern Suburbs man who tested positive to the virus this week visited the Azure Cafe at Mooe Park where Roosters players and staff regularly attend.

It is located close to the Roosters offices and is also frequented by NRL head office staff who will also be contacted about their movements.

… now that is a Gods retribution message of cheer … to all of us long sombrero suffering footy fans.

Unless it has occurred at the Roosters local golf course , no players or management will be sick

@jirskyr and @TigerWest selections need to be in prior to kick off is the Souths v Melbourne game,

Finally confident enough to pick em, West Tigers thanks Geo.

Good luck jirskyr.

Expecting us to win 2 in a row? Very risky!

Its risky picking us to win 2 halves in a row

@mike said in Dad Humour:

What do you call a factory that makes okay products? A satisfactory.

I often wonder why the Coyote didn’t sue ACME for all the faulty gadgets he bought …but then again I often wonder where did Coyote get the money to buy these gadgets

Bit like Gilligan Island …why didn’t they ask the camera crew for help to get off the Island …

If the team doesn’t show up in the 1st half like the Cows game …

They need to honour Tommy’s legacy with a win …nothing else is acceptable

Hope that Strongee’s little blow up isnt considered bad form by the mods. I hope he sticks around. Im all for differing opinions and a bit of banter.

As for the Luke Brooks discussion ill have a go at the “my opinion - your opinion and the truth” thing.

My opinion = Luke Brooks is cooked at the Wests Tigers. Doesnt have the mental drive and toughness to turn around his complete lack of confidence. And even if he did he was only a mid range half back to start with.

Your Opinion = Luke Brooks has been hard done by and has genuine excuses for his form. he will come good. In the grand scheme of things he is one of the top 6 to 8 halves on the game and deserves his spot in our team going forward.

The Truth = Luke Brooks is an NRL half back. He is not a reserve grader. The trouble however is that he is struggling to lift his form and adjust to a style that doesnt completely suit him. He played well last week and did his job. Some of his kicking was very good, the placement spot on.

With great halves like Thurston, Johns, young Sam Walker etc they were genuine footballers. Not athlete footballers but genuine footballers who could read a line and play heads up footy.

Alexander and Johns commented recently on a sports radio show how Luke Brooks runs into the defensive line a little too often. Kind of like he doesnt know when to pass or when to run, as in he is not reading the play in front of him but just relying on natural talent to create something.

It was a one of the best reviews of the Luke Brooks situation i have heard. It reminded me of the Milford situation at the Broncos. Talented player but doesnt make the right play at the right time often enough to take away the enormous pressure he has placed on himself.

I see Brooks and Milford as very similar. Both naturally talented but neither are just out and out footballers who can read the play and execute what is needed when it is needed.

In short good player but not a player capable of lifting his team to any great heights.

None of that is true haha . And that’s not my opinion . But thanks for clarifying a position you clearly don’t understand , just to rationalise it for yourself . Seriously man , what the actual ?

Ill give you something that is very true about me. Im a bit blunt when im know im right about a player.

No hard feelings, youre entitled to your opinion.

What ? What has that got to do with what my opinion is ? I swear I’ve said it 100 times on here , yet you still paraphrase and summarise it to something completely unlike what I’ve said . I couldn’t be any clearer .
And what are you right about ? That he’s not nrl standard ? The rest of the nrl clubs would disagree with you . Every club would snap him up , who didn’t have an elite half . That’s all the answer I need to that question . So all your ramblings , amount for nothing if the people who do this for a living disagree with you to the tune they’d pay him half a mil to kick a ball around .
So you don’t know anything, how can you if that’s the general consensus in the NRL. And it is because the cowboys just came knocking and were willing to pay full freight .
Like I said , I think he’s slightly above league average , which is a shame because he could have been elite . But thank the basket case of Wests tigers past for that .

You have misread my posts. I cleary state he is an NRL player.

Sorry if you are looking for me to bite on your comments mate but im all good. If you want to get yourself banned you will have to go harder. Youll also have to find someone else to go back at you. It wont be me.

As ive stated youre entitled to your opinion.

Moving on.

Cheers.

No you paraphrased everything I said , only into nothing at all like what I said . And now what you want to pretend like you’re taking the high road . Sorry all the stuff you e said over the past few months totally undermine you .
I hope Brooks moves on for the record , it will suck to see someone who should have been the Aus halfback , be a shell of what he could have been, leave , but we messed him up to a point the club should be ashamed of themselves . He was supposed to be the sure fire , can’t lose prospect and now , he’s anything but that . It’s a real indictment on this club . And that’s why I stand by him , mainly because I know how much we messed him up , and it’s shameful . Its like what the Houston Texans did to David Carr years ago . He was again this can’t miss quarterback , who got hammered his first 5 years in the league , that by the time they fixed the rest of thier team , he had been ruined by bad coaching and blokes who couldn’t protect him .

How did WT mess him up? Curious to hear the evidence behind this one…

The claim, originally from Phil Gould. Gould said something alone these lines…

Basically the problem isn’t Brooks, the Wests Tigers are the problem with Brooks. He’s had 4-5 coaches in his career, close to 10 halves partners and different spine almost every other year with no forwards. How does he succeed with that?

I wonder how many coaches Joey had …and how many halves partners he had

And the coaches thing …does everyone get annoyed that Webster gets included …everyone knew that he was fill in

I think our team will improve coming into winter away from day games with the rules. We struggle against athletic teams. Wet weather or night games will benefit us.

Ash Taylor is out of this weeks match against the tigers
