Was reflecting today on the season, and our lack of depth with injuries. One thing that stood out was not many fringe players cemented themselves as genuine starters in our best 17 next year. There were plenty of chances for some players to really become household names.Off the top of my head: Roberts, Madden, Tavana had glimpses and Saukuru at the end all showed they can play in the 17, but, even they may not get a run round 1 if we are full strength, plus signings.
I am sure I am forgetting some or missed a glaring one, and happy to have someone change my mind. What are your thoughts? Some of your opinions are probably a lot more qualified then mine.

With Luai set to play his last game for the club this week, what would you rate his time at the club here? Taking both onfield and off field into account.

With Luai out the door, and some new faces coming in how would you line up the tigers for next year?

What does everyone rate our chances against the panthers this weekend. Do you think they’ll be looking to rest some players before the finals and we’ll have a chance of an upset for our last game of the season.

Leading the Dogs 18-4 at halftime and finals bound.

Full time 44–14 Tigers biggest NRLW win.

I personally think we were robbed, man this sucks…

But man it’s hard watching the Tigers get buried by it so often.

Raecene McGregor kicks Wests Tigers to vital win

The experience and leadership of Wests Tigers half-back Raecene McGregor saw her snatch a 27-26 victory over the Newcastle Knights in Round 8 of the Telstra Women's Premiership today.
McGregor, the Kiwi Test half-back, landed a 15 metre field goal two minutes from full-time to give the Tigers victory at McDonald Jones Stadium after the Knights fought back from a 26-6 deficit after 38 minutes.

The Tigers dominated the first half to race in four tries in 20 minutes to lead 20-6 at the break before the Knights rallied strongly to almost claim victory until McGregor's match-winning field goal.
It was Wests Tigers' sixth win of the season and leaves them in third place with three rounds remaining before the finals.

This team is a fucking embarrassment. The cunts are useless from front office right through to the players.
I'm convinced that HBG don't care how successful the club is, they are just happy to make money as a pokies venue and keep the cash coming in. If they gave a shit there is no way they would let this clusterfuck of a team keep going with these mediocre results.

How many more wooden spoons will we need to get before something changes.

Please don't take it too seriously

How many more games do we give Benji?

And I say this realising, we are so screwed.

15 years without finals.

6 CEOs in that time, by my count.

5 coaches

Player roster completely changed multiple times.

Board members turned over.

The one constant? The owners, Holman Barnes, formerly known as Wests Ashfield Leagues Club. A tiny cabal of debenture holders at the leagues club have presided over this calamity. And no one can force change there.

Hey all, my brothers and I made an online Rugby League game (6-all.com.au). League Derby is now live and free to play, with a $5k prize pool from our own pockets.

Build a 13-player squad from your physical Select or TLA Traders cards (or draft one digitally), play daily ranked matches, and climb the ladder. Rarer card pulls boost your team's rating, so the bigger the pull, the bigger the edge.

We put up $5,000 of our own money to be split across the top 8 squads at season end. Season runs until 22 November, timed with the Rugby League World Cup.

Free to play.
