This is the confirmed signings tracker from NRL.com - just player movements, no re-signings at current club. Can anyone honestly say the Tigers haven't at least held their own? There just aren't a whole heap of game-changing players moving at the moment. I think the problem is that we all tend...

Tigers win. Woods, Tedesco and Moses all lose. Tedesco drops the ball with the try line begging. Moses gets a good old wallop in the first few minutes and is later sin binned, returning only to be unsighted as the going gets tough, yet again. Manly and Souths also lose. I reckon we could just...

Some people no doubt already know this, but in American sport one way pundits try to predict future performance is by looking at close game data. The theory goes that any very close game is more or less a coin toss - evidence suggests that there isn't a specific skill to winning close games. So...

I was wondering why they never showed a proper replay of the Wighton take in the in goal which led to the 100m Raiders try. All we got was the commentators insisting the refs got it right, "as they always do". Yeah, not so much this time: Yes, I know, play the whistle and all that - but when...

I wonder if there is anyone outside Tigers management who believes there is any chance Moses will be a better first grade player than Martin. A competent club would jettison Moses to England now while there's any residual chance of someone else backing his 'potential'. It's bad enough watching...

I've been waiting to post this but I think it's now pretty clear so here goes. I found it astonishing to see so many people bagging Farah around the start of the season and I sincerely hope those who did so are tucking into a healthy serving of humble pie right now. The absolute worst that...

Well how's that. Braith Anasta just appeared on my TV screen and I haven't thrown anything at it or used any rude words. Never thought I'd see the day.

So I had an idea about making a gesture about club unity, which I'd like to encourage others to consider. I only moved to Australia in 2006 so I'm not a traditional supporter of either side of the JV, but I moved to Balmain and that's how I got into the Tigers. The first jersey I bought was the...

I'm starting to find it genuinely baffling that Warren McDonald still has his job. The way the Tigers have gone about signing and re-signing players is looking likely to keep us rooted in the bottom six for the next three years - and longer if the same people are allowed to keep making the...

All the debate is about whether or not to get rid of Sheens, so I thought I'd move it on to what an incoming coach would find in his squad. I'm afraid to say I don't have a terribly positive outlook. **The playmaker situation** for 2013 I would give a B to. Marshall and Farah are among the best...

…how funny were the two Parra fans in the Mexican wrestler masks giving it the "Doggies"? I'm no fan of Parra or their supporters but those two blokes brightened my afternoon considerably. If anyone can find or upload a video I would be in their debt.

Reading and thinking about the Utai re-signing made me realise there's an interesting more general question. Obviously in your first choice side you want blokes who can do everything, or at least who can do some things incredibly well and have no massive weaknesses. But since you can't...

I haven't got anything to say here. I'm just starting a new post because every time I enter the Wests Tigers index page on these boards I see "Melbourne: when and who's going?" in the most recent posts list. Just sat there, taunting me. THE ANSWERS ARE "NEVER" AND "NONE OF US", OK?

I don't know if this qualifies as "news" or "optimism" - it would be great if it was the former but there doesn't seem to be any real evidence. The six months figure at the bottom would be phenomenal if true. 'I'll be back': wounded Tiger says he'll beat injury Adrian Proszenko September 4...

Mods, I hate to be a pedant but this game is listed on the main section of the forum as being at Brookvale. It's actually at that dump on the Central Coast.
