I would suggest that at the conclusion of this week, we will have seen the most significant week in our 24 year history - even surpassing 2005. The sacking of the Board, the resignation of Pascoe, and the firing of the Chairman provided the opportunity for fundamental and 'cosmic' change at the...
I had the opportunity to attend the club's season launch Monday night of last week as a guest of one of the sponsors.
First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone involved in organising the night - it was a great evening.
I would also like to congratulated all the players and staff who...
Got from a good friend of mine that JTJ is pain free for the first time in years after an operation to shave a couple of discs. Running like he did years ago.
Not sure when he's back, but lets hope he is back to something like his very best before long.
For those like me who love cycling, and who may have come in to the sport watching the Tour de France on TV, it will come as sad news that one half of the 'voices of cycling' - Paul Sherwen has died overnight at the age of 62.
Paul and his co-commentator, Phil Ligget, brought the world of...
You know - we've all seen it.
The one where the town is besieged by bad guys. They're being knocked off one at a time. It looks hopeless.
Then …
The old Sheriff, recently run out of town by an ungrateful mob, is sent a telegraph.
"Come back, we need you"
He rides in, guns slung low, his jet...
A wonderful player, but by crikey his defence was woeful last night! It was "Broses-esque". Fortunately for the Cowboys, they have the defensive structure and players to cope with his lapses - but that was really poor.
O.K. since the announcement of the signing of Joel Edwards, the discussion has led to at least one poster suggesting that a big hitter doesn't necessarily mean a good defender. I agree.
So I thought it might be interesting to discuss who in people's opinion is the biggest hitter they have seen...
Never been a massive fan of his, but last night, I thought he was tremendous. Added enormous go forward when he came on, and played a really long spell, presumably because of Halatau's injury. Was one of the best in a very good performance by the forwards. If he can reproduce that sort of form...
Interesting listening to Blake Austin's interview after the match on Sunday. He said something along the lines of .."we knew they wouldn't be up for an arm wrestle, so we just had to get into the grind".
It's clear, despite a better showing from our forwards so far this year, that there is still...
I know I'm a week early, and the Tigers still have an enormous job in front of them tomorrow arvo, but really, the Dogs on last night's performance are far from unbeatable next week. The game was as messy as the Tigers/Titans game R1 and despite their size, their forward pack does little to...
There are 4 or 5 financially stable clubs in the NRL.(And it's not surprising that those clubs are the same ones that feature regularly in the end of season games. They have the capacity to compete for the best coaches, the best medical staff, they have the latest equipment for training and...
Missed the game (work does get in the way)! There was much made pre game about the forwards clash after a bit of niggle in the press and on Twitter. How was it? Did one of the packs out perform the other? And did the Lussick/Taupau clash come to fruition. Looking forward to hearing about it...
I've got to say, that after 3 rounds of football, I am absolutely loving the Tigers new kit. Both the predominantly gold strip and the black are fantastic. Best in a long while.
Phone rings …"Hello, Sams' luxury car sales"
Mike ..... "G'day Sam. John here. How's business"?
Sam .... "Hi John. Business is good mate - real good".
Mike ... "That's terrific. Listen, the reason I was ringing. I have a customer who's desperate to get into a new F12 Berlinetta. I'm clean out of...
Don't know about you guys, but I thought he looked like a really tired old forward tonight. Apart from one great tackle on Woods late in the game when he forced the ball loose, he was hardly sighted. On paper I think we did the right thing by moving him on, (but given our efforts this year, even...
Not expecting too much from the team this coming week to be honest. Hopefully we turn that excellent first 30 minute effort against Parra into a longer period of excellence against the Sea Eagles, but I'm not expecting to win this one. I think their big aggressive pack will be putting too much...
