    Bill Hillard RIP

    Guys can’t see it posted anywhere but just read on FB Bill Hillard passed away. Bill was a great clubman for Balmain. Captained their premier winning reserve grade side and was always first picked when there was a injury in top grade. A bearded front rower who gave 100% every game no matter the...

    What about the penalty count???

    Was at WT Ashfield in a packed auditorium with a few beers under my belt and we were all blowing up with the penalty count, although we were a tad one eyed. I just seemed to think the refs did not reward our defence and for 70 minutes were trying to get a win up for Billy, than with 10 minutes...

    Knew it was going to be a bad night

    Just prior to kick off, the tigers kicked balls into the members section. Instead of letting the young kids get first grab, I stood up got myself in great position while pushing the kids out of the way, than this ball came straight into my bread basket…only to fall over my seat drop the ball and...

    Do we have the depth required

    I have been optimistic about our 2017 campaign and that is not like me. With Farahgate over and the young guns a season older and wiser I think things look okay, but like most years our depth really worries me. I think we are okay in the front row, okay in the halves, but outside backs the...

    I don't understand

    The Sharks are not a big side, they have their fair share of small men, but they have real attitude in defence,they just keep turning up. I don't know who looks after their D but would love him at Concord in 2017\. I have always maintained we lack the quality size and power in our squad to...

    Some thoughts on today and the last week

    Well did the cohesion work today any better than the last month???? I say no Deano was excellent today, but we needed Farah's experience and skill to come on and build on the foundation he and others laid. I have no idea why Edwards was made 17th man, we all thought he was going into dummy...

    Taylor Faces the Media

    Just watched the press conference on tiger tv. If Taylor gets sacked he could walk into Politics. He was relentless, just kept hammering the point of team cohesion. Thought the press would chew him up and spit him out, but he did not take a backward step, just kept to the script. It was like the...

    Corey Norman

    After just pleading guilty to drug possession you would imagine the NRL will be putting pressure on him to be stood down, especially after the Mitchel pearce thing earlier on this season. If suspended I would imagine that will take all the wind out of Parramatta's hopes of doing the impossible...

    6 and 7 combo

    Without doubt the best I have seen these to combine in there short career. I have seen them individually go well but never as a combo. I would also say that is the best 80 minutes Brooks has put in for us, defended well,ran and passed with confidence and seemed not be rushed. Moses was great...

    Can we score without Teddy

    On paper I give us a real chance of beating the dogs, but without Teddy are we going to be able yo score enough points. 90% of plays involve Teddy creating the space, nothing much happens in around the ruck, its all out wide. Not sure if Rankin or Hunt will have any impact, obviously time will...

    High Ball

    Every team will be going high and wide both left and right often. We have a real problem defusing bombs. Nofo is on the short side and Rankin is not actually that tall,so if Taylor is going to stick with them he has to work out a far better plan of giving them some protection. I read somewhere...

    Some concerns from last night

    Although well beaten Parramatta showed a lot of grunt in their forwards last night and their back row really pounded the Brisbane edges and for the people who do not put much value in having structured defence the Broncos showed how defence wins you matches. Anyway my point both teams ripped...

    Three into Two doesn't go

    I just do not get it,Farah,Balin and Cherrington,so who misses out. Farah has made it clear he is going nowhere and holds a contract for another two years,so why in hell would we sign Balin. You would not play Balin and Farah and you have to give Cherrington game time to keep him interested. As...

    Any Team will beat us with the right game plan

    Manly and Titans knew exactly what to do and basically went for it from their first set in possession.Play a very expansive game and target our right hand side. The motto has to be go wide and go often. Manly last night with better application could have scored five trys down our right side by...

    Attacking Coach

    Just wondering what he is doing to earn his keep?? Even when our five one out trundles up the middle and a kick reap us a repeat set deep in the attacking zone, we seldom look like we have much up our selves. Even Teddy seems to have given up on getting up in the line and causing some problems...

    Are player contracts the problem???

    Many many moons ago when I started following league a players contract was made up of a signing on fee and match payments. These match payments were very significant amounts for a win and stuff all for a loss. Now I have actually never seen a NRL contract,but today it seems that most contracts...

    The big difference this year

    In year gone by the Wests Tigers have Started slowly and came home with a charge only to fall just short of the eight. This has sent all us half baked crazy supporters into the off season full of hope hope and optimism for the next year. Some of us even crazy enough to start setting aside dates...
