NSW Jersey looks pathetic. Tooheys your logo sucks.
What on earth is Westpac doing trying to sponsor both teams. Were just going to have a...
Curious what people expect for 2024
Do we see us making the 8? I can see us pushing around the 12th-14th mark. Yet the competition is fearce.
If Benji gets 16th, is this a success? If we don't play finals are we a failure?
Stump up and make some predictions...
Time for a put up or shut up.
Aiden Sezer
Are you a Hater? Hate the fact that we have signed him OR a fan? Was it the right decision or wrong one?

Ill try to keep this updated and if you nag me enough I will update the list below. 2024 we can judge...
This ain't about the referendum, but the great Aboriginal players that have played our game and played for our club.
I just want to recognise Aboriginal players and say thank you. Rugby League is a far better game with them and kudos to them for making our game so entertaining.
There is a lot...
A lot of Ex tigers, on the bench of the grand final.
Luke Garner got a spot.

Doesn't want to be at the club.
Should leave.
Bad attitude...
It seems:
Api at 7.
Feledy blooded in the Centers with Reilly. 1 game between them.
Then we see a rookie start in the forward pack? Who is Kit Laulilii ? *
He pushed out James Aitasi?
Look I get it. Give Jake Simpkin a farewell, Blood a few youngsters. But boy these changes are wild...
I don't think we will get a choice.
But I know who I would choose. Who would you pick to be our assistant coach?
John Morris
Justin Holbrook
(may be other choices. Anthony Griffin or "Mary" as an idea. )

So Marshall wants Sezer while Fulton wants Jack Cogger. I reckon this is a choice people can get their teeth into...
We have a culture problem.
We have had a massive recruitment drive this year, yet still are not holding our line and failing to get the basics right. i.e. Tackling.
At the Start of this year, I heard Andrew Fifita say "hey Wests Tigers, I know what you are doing wrong. I can come there and...
Looking at the stats section of us vs storm
https://www.nrl.com/draw/nrl-premiership/2023/round-16/wests-tigers-v-storm/
most players are tackling above 90%, maybe 1 missed tackle. Yet players numbered under 6 (halves doing good in tackling).
Jahreem Bula, 100% tackle efficency, 3 tackles...
So were coming 16th, maybe spoon now.
Sheens starts the year after a Bumper recruitment of Staines, Api, Klemmer, Wakeham (surprisingly good), Bateman, Paps*.
Sheens signs on wanting to appoint his own staff.
Clearly the board at this point, after numerous losses, wanting someone other...
What's your lowest common denominator coach that you will accept to replace Sheens(order high to low):
Bellamy/Bennett/Ivan Cleary
Demetriou/Robinson/Fitzgibbon/Walters/Payten
^no none of the above are coming here.
Des Haslier
Shane Flanagan
Benji Marshall*
Mick Potter
Get MaGuire back!
Stick...
Come one come all. Step up Loud on your Soapbox and give us your predictions for 2023.
Mine are:
We will be Nr9 with Souths, Easts, Storm, Cronulla, Cowboys, Parra and Penrith Making the 8. Suspect the Dogs, Dolphins or someone else will get that last 8th spot.
Hastings will help Newcastle...
Mitchell Moses looks at the Parramatta contract, the 1.2m from the Dogs and the 1.3m from us and signs with Easts as a reserve half for 500k a season.
Mitchell off the table (maybe), we might have 1.3m to spend. Whom would we target instead?
I keep hammering on this point. We need our area.
Leichardt/Balmain is going to be overcrowded by a pool of people who can contribute but not make a modern NRL team.
The Dragons, being smart have set up their centre of Excellence in Wollongong...
