James Tamou ensured every player on the bench high-fived every WT player coming from the field at half-time. It’s the little things.

Adam Hartigan and Maguire’s recruitment and plan for our future needs to be applauded over and over again, unbelievable stuff lads

ON THIS DAY
Taniela Tuiaki - The Devastating Finisher

A selection of tries by devastating finisher Taniela Tuiaki. Complications from a serious ankle fracture forced the Wests Tigers winger and Kiwi international to retire from the game at the age of 28 on this day in 2011.

Pure Beast

Big effort from Liddle today.
80 minutes, 1 try and a game-high 50+ tackles in the middle.

After everything he has been through (double shoulder reconstruction, then ACL, MCL, PCL damage in one tackle), it is just so good to see Jacob back playing rugby league. He is now a couple games off 50 in the NRL which is a massive achievement in itself.

My wife just left me. She says life revolves around football and she’s sick of it.
I’m quite upset. We were together for 7 seasons…

Season Launch. A lot of confidence in the room, more than I remember for many seasons.

FOOTY IS BACK.
Happy Monday, everyone

A priest, a pastor, and a rabbit entered a clinic to donate blood.

The nurse asked the rabbit: “What’s your blood type?”

“I’m probably a Type O”, said the rabbit.

I asked my date to meet me at the gym today.
She didn’t show up.
That’s when I knew we weren’t gonna work out

@tcl said in Consistency:

7 game winning streak!

Always aim higher lol !

I overdosed on viagra once.
“Hardest day of my life”.

’I want to be here’: Brooks insists he can lead Tigers out of decade-long mire

Brooks insists he remains the right man to end Wests Tigers’ decade-long finals drought and rejected suggestions he will seek a fresh start elsewhere with his career at a crossroads.

Despite the devastating loss, Brooks fronted reporters after full-time to field questions around his future.

His Tigers tenure has long been under the microscope, never more so than in recent weeks amid suggestions the club is considering moving him on with two years remaining on what is understood to be a heavily back-ended contract.

At the same time plenty of punters and pundits, with Phil Gould among them, have wondered whether Brooks too would be better served by a change of scenery after bearing the brunt of scrutiny around the Tigers for the past eight seasons.

“I’m here for another few years so that’s sort of out of the question for me,” Brooks said, denying close confidants are urging him to consider moving on from Concord.

"I want to be here, I want to be successful at the Tigers.

Reports linking Brooks to the Cowboys under former Tigers assistant Todd Payten are understood to have prompted a meeting with club officials late last month, where the local junior was assured he was still wanted.

Brooks said that message hasn’t changed in the weeks since despite the devastating Leichhardt loss and what is now a 1-5 record, with chair Lee Hagipentalis telling NRL.com during the week that the 26-year-old “has my absolute faith and confidence”.

“They have spoken to me plenty of times,” Brooks said.

"I guess that’s good for me that they’re still backing me.

"[Coach Michael Maguire] has stuck up for me. He’s helped me there and its outside people’s opinions, they’re allowed to have those opinions.

“As long as Madge and the club are happy with me, then I’m happy.”

"I can’t read into it too much because I can’t worry about what other people are saying.

"They’ve got their opinions and they’re allowed to have their opinions.

"I’ve just got to try and not read too much of the media.

“Sometimes it’s hard not to see it now days. But I’m alright, I’ve just got to go out and do my job for the team.”

Tamou has asked for this message to be posted on behalf of himself and the squad.

Terrible news. The long road to speedy recovery mate.

Phenomenal lads ! Keep the streak rolling. All rounder. The guys are playing positive and it’s showing weekly.

Stay away from our games flog. Mr favour good teams…

As frustrating as last night, it was tremendous seeing Jake performing a top 4 team. Hopefully we can hold onto long term.

Last week, Madge said that wasn’t what the WT’S is about.
Resilience. Counter momentum. Fight. Help your brothers. Ignore the outside noise and keep working.

‘It’s a very terrible look’: Latrell’s brain snaps:

• Late, swinging forearm to the face of Nofoaluma when he set up the Laurie try

• Dog tackle on a defenceless player on the ground (Nofoaluma again)

• Lashing out a boot in a tackle.

• Slapped Roberts

• Hit Garner late after he scored

• Kneed Simpkin when trying to play the ball
