Wests Tigers call time on Tim Sheens after horror season
ByMichael Chammas and Adam Pengilly

The Wests Tigers are set to drop a bombshell...
Please come and sign my petition: Seventeen Jahreams
I emplore Tim Sheens to find and pick Seventeen Jahreams for next week and every remaining game 2023. I don't want to see any Kepaoas, Wakehams, Tupous, Talaus, Smiths or Simpkins.
Maybe, if he can only get Fourteen Jahreams, there's a spot...
I'll tell you what they can bloody do, they can play the same way they did yesterday against Cowboys and take every one of the remaining matches to the wire. If you do this often enough, you will get your 50/50 decisions and your wins.
If you only compete on occasion, then of course you are at...
I have a new pet peeve - something I would have called "second tackles" in the old days.
Anyone paying attention to Shaun Johnson last weekend may have noticed that, when his team was in possession early in a set, he would follow the ball-carrier and push into his player as soon as they made...
After I stopped vomiting...
I don't think I can bring myself to cheer for him, seriously, hate him so much. I don't know exactly if I want NSW to lose, but maybe Moses have a shocker and Turbo still find a way to win it for us.
Millionaire madman Clive Palmer doing a press conference to announce Folau is playing rugby league in Australia again at the Tigers... the Southport Tigers that is.
Boring story notwithstanding, how's the logo infringement? Not something I think the club would appreciate being accidentally...
Some interesting Rd 1 2021 team observations:
* The Huth named on the bench for Panthers, with Momirovski starting centres and Robert Jennings on extended bench. Interesting that they weren't really good enough to cement regular spots in our starting side and yet have found a space in the Grand...
Tommy Turbo has torn his hamstring again - the other one (right) and not his chronic one. Won't play in the trial, expected to be out until Rd 4.
One has to wonder what he's going to do with his career longer-term. It seems any time he climbs into his peak form, he does his hammys and Manly's...
Since the Titans game our currency has definitely been on the rise (3W 3L). The 3 subsequent losses were respectable, to respectable opponents, even if we could have done much better against all of Raiders, Panthers and Souths, they weren't blow-outs and not entirely terrible, i.e. a platform...
Hi everyone
I posted some old Tigers games online to download, in the JB Hifi thread about the Tigers Essentials disc. I realised the thread title doesn't make it obvious that there are matches to DL, but they are here:

I was doing a bit of research on pre-2000 players who played for both Balmain and Magpies. It's a bit of an interesting dataset, so I thought I'd throw out the trivia questions:
(1) How many players played for both Balmain and Western Suburbs at any stage in their career?
(2) What percentage...

No idea what it actually means, is he being judged as a Dad, or just being a good sports guy who also happens to have kids?
Either way, he won.
PS his son is named Fox... is that some kind of sponsorship deal...
You have to give credit to the NRL schedulers this season, with lots of key matchups occurring in the final rounds and culminating with the last round being full of critically important matches and only 3 dead rubbers.
Every team has their preferences then the NRL does the main draw, and they...
Hi folks,
I suggest this be the location to discuss the fortunes, decisions, told-you-so's, mistakes, vindication or anything else surrounding ex-Tigers and ex-Magpies players, as well as ex-administrators and ex-staff. We can redirect all debates about departed club persons here (I don't mean...
I wanted to pose a question - is Cooper Cronk a great footballer, or has he been blessed with stacked rosters his entire career?
The thought occurred to me in another thread about Luke Brooks, who I felt was busy without being decisive against the Bulldogs. Personally I thought if he was given...
The #1 take-away for me from the Bulldogs game is not the injuries or goal kicking, but the lack of strike power and lack of options for the halves when in attack.
Forwards platform against Bulldogs was good, so it represented a very reasonable opportunity for the attack to flow. We had a lot...
Your thoughts?
