Is Taumalolo no good these days? Haven't seen the cowboys play much and surprised he's #17. The guy was incredible and is only 30. Payten never seemed that interested in him. What's his form like? I'm sure Cowboys would be happy to offload his contract if they're playing him off the bench but...

That is the game gone. Real shame not to see Latu play. Real shame to see Sullivan play.

Lee loves writing big letters. I'm surprised he doesn't see how humiliating and ridiculous he looks when he writes them. He needs whoever minds him to hide the pens.

It's mainly that our second set of props are a long way off. Sure papalii and our starting props don't look that great, but they don't get dominated. We need either Stef or Klemmer playing 60 to fix this. And if the club thinks matamua can handle it they should put him onto an edge and move...

Weird that people are focusing on her gender. She's just a terrible referee, doesn't matter what gender she is and not sure why that is an issue. Ashley Klein doesn't represent bald guys very well, but I don't think his issues are particular to that aspect of him.

Our squad is the worst in the league. At 2 wins and 3, 4 or 5 losses you could say we were overachieving. 2-6 is about right for our squad. Some thoughts: Bula continues to be up and down this season. Definitely creating more, but also more errors and strangely out of place positionally again...

If he could cut out the stupid plays....But there's also so many of them. Just everything he tries doesn't work and he usually reacts to something and costs us again. Just play simple footy.

Yeah, agree Homebush is a horrible match experience. And you look at the crowd figures of similar strugglers Souths and Bulldogs and it's obvious how much the fans hate it. Whereas, despite our wooden spoon woes, we're drawing 15k plus each game. I just wonder if richo has this one wrong. Is...

I'm struggling to think of a ref who doesn't cause trauma. And how good will it be when they go to the bunker for their lottery/madness decision? Refereeing these days is absolutely random, with pedantic new penalties being randomly enforced in terribly inconsistent ways. The face of Api after...

I hate Olympic stadium but if you have to choose a larger stadium then that's probably it. The key thing is to make it as cheap as possible for family memberships and juniors to come to games. Organise buses to take kids and families, invest a lot of the corporate dollars into getting fans to...

Yeah, the no try is farcical. I went home after and watched it on replay and I don't believe it's possible to know rugby league and see that as a no try. It's a inept and brutally misconceived interpretation of possession that if accepted as a standard in the game would see every try painfully...

Yeah, it's a real problem that we're losing our area to teams like the Broncos. I'm sure many of their fans are Qld people now living here, but there'd also be lots of fans in the area jumping on the bandwagon of a big time superstar laden team. Club desperately needs a run of form out there.

I've often been to Campbelltown and it's felt dead. Usually it's a cold Saturday night against a dull team and on the back of a poor run of form and we start with a complete boneheaded play to kick things off. The last two games have been great and there was real buzz and excitement around the...

What time do gates open? Is there an earlier game? Weirdly hard to find this information anywhere unless the Wests tigers website game day information page is the wrong place to look for this.

We got him for 450 a season? That's crazy good deal. Will he look the same as he does in the Tigers backline? Big question mark as he's not the prototype modern winger, but a fantastic signing for a player who would certainly have had other options. Very good defender, very sound skills, great...

On the first Penrith try wasn't Api taken out by Martin? Martin jumps nowhere near the ball and pulls Api away from the bomb. The bomb bounces where Api was and Penrith recover. Is that not the disruptor rule? I'm just not sure what explains that decision based on new rules, or even before that...

Great summary. I agree that he's looking good. I think people also want him to be a match winner in attack and he's obviously still learning how and when to inject himself into the play. I'd particularly like to see him be more of a threat in attacking kicks, but I still think those little...

People knocking Benji for bench rotation is harsh. The team is obviously being cautious with Latu and I think seyfarth and S Fainu had great impact and were used well. Hopefully we get to see more of Latu in the middle, I've always felt by playing Pole in the middle it dampens his impact as a...

Many props are able to play good footy into their 30s, Klemmer seems to be going the Tamou route of turning up and playing his minutes and that's about it. I felt Stefano played really well off the back of his runs last year but he's looked timid this year. He should be given a run from the...

Stef has been brilliant this year. No doubt gone up quite a few pegs. I thought he wasn't near origin the past few years but he now should be there and will be a really good off the bench impact prop in that arena. Well done to him and Benji for the significant lift in his game. As for whether...
