    LIVE GAME Rd 10 live games discussion *spoilers*

    We forget the pre-video ref days where things would get awarded incorrectly. Imagine if Kasey Badger didn't have the bunker for our game! The bunker just needs more pragmatism. Put some rules in that allow discretion. I'm guessing a lot of these calls are just rule-book alignment. i.e. Contact...

    Terrible ref

    I'm incredibly frustrated this has gone down the path of sexism and it's pulling our club through the mud. From what I can see, none of our players said or did anything sexist. Just some idiot fans. The team were frustrated with horrible referring. That's it. The NRL has no ability for self...

    Terrible ref

    100%. It really showed our mental resilience. Anger and frustration should be vented in the way we play, not verbal abuse or punches. Run it harder, tackle harder. The referring wasn't at fault, but when that happens, it adds so much doubt to how the game would have gone otherwise. It's a...

    WestsLife podcast

    The comments aren't only misogynistic, but just incredibly dumb. We've been on the end of some dud calls the last few weeks and this week just capped it off. We were the worst team, but with that refereeing, it was an even tougher watch. These refs escape accountability and ignore fans. It's a...

    OFFICIAL Sullivan to join Wests Tigers

    We just need Sullivan to start performing. Even if it's in cup. The Tigers should be throwing the resources we can at him. He has the capability. Either way we end up with quality depth or can offload at a decent price.

    Wests Tigers Home Ground Mega Thread

    Ever team talks about a lift they get from home games. Parramatta is never going to feel like home. Accor might.

    Wests Tigers Home Ground Mega Thread

    Accor, not commbank. I struggle why these guys think parra is a good idea for team morale.

    10 days for the current club to counter. Panthers must have waived it, like Luai

    Building resilience in NRL teams

    All those activities sound fine. They either have a "laugh" element (Nudie run, powerpoint) or are individually/team physical (running back to HQ, army drills). None of those are the same as the ostracisation of Topine. Robbo said it well. "“You have to push players to be at their best, and...

    CEO - Shane Richardson

    Such great news! and finally, a relieving sign that HBG may have properly turned a corner. Let's hope it continues as I'm sure Richo has an exit clause if it doesn't.

    To think that he's essentially replaced noffa. Great trade out/in.

    Jackson Topine takes Bulldogs to NSW Supreme Court

    The point wasn't gitmo. The point was where is the line? And had he agreed to that? The "wrestle" I.e. physical part here isn't the issue. I think that's where you're stuck. It's ths mental. It was ALL his peers were made to inflict it and the trainer told them not to help. That's ostracising...

    Jackson Topine takes Bulldogs to NSW Supreme Court

    So what level of touture and humiliation should nrl players be signing up to in order to keep their job? Should they have to be OK with electrocuting, waterboarding? Bring some of that gitmo flavour. Hell, humiliation was one of them so they've got that alresdy. No one would argue physical...

    Jackson Topine takes Bulldogs to NSW Supreme Court

    There is a very big difference between punishment and humiliation. What the dogs did is very much in the latter. It actually could have been a bonding opportunity if that douchebag trainer didn't tell the teammates to not rally around him after it. I mean, why even do it? What outcome were...

    Haha, it was and was the first thing they appologised for when they rocked up. 3 x 3 plane. Technically big marn in our seats on the aisle then block across the aisle. Needless to say I stuck my wife in the middle. Big marn has to be one of the biggest legends. So down to earth. Gave me his...

    He's a good guy block. I sat next to him and the big maan on a flight back from a titans game. But I'd wish he'd be more supportive of the club. He talks about wanting to help, then does the exact opposite in the media.

    This. When teddy entered grade, he was playing on the flanks. One of the best FBs to play the modern game. We need to start looking at kids playing in the spine positions to bring that to the centres.
