Jamal Idris joins Wests Tigers

Former Australian international and New South Wales representative Jamal Idris has joined the Wests Tigers. The 2009 Dally M Rookie of the Year has agreed to join Wests Tigers in 2017 and will add plenty of experience, size and skill to the Club’s first-grade squad.

“For me, it’s so exciting as there are a lot of up-and-coming young players here,” said Idris. “The average age is really young, and they’re only going to get better and more experienced. If they do that together, then they’re going to gel well as a team and that’s really exciting.

Revealed: The culture of bullying and abuse at Wests Tigers

A SHOCKING culture of fear, bullying and harassment is threatening to rip the Wests Tigers apart.

A damning report on the Club alleges at least two NRL players have considered committing suicide, while others spoke of being bullied to the point of tears.

The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the NRL club has been accused of having a “total lack of concern for player welfare’’ in a bombshell welfare report conducted by the Rugby League Players Association (RLPA).

If it was made last year, why is it only coming out now? But there are some really scathing comments in there. And that all stems from the Head Coach

Revitalised Idris ready for next challenge at Wests Tigers

Wests Tigers recruit Jamal Idris has returned from his year away from the game refreshed and with a new lease on life ahead of the 2017 NRL Telstra Premiership season.

"A year away will do that for you, but also travelling, you get to see the world," he said. "You don't have that 'what am I missing out on?' thought that's always sitting in the back of your head. When I first started, I was still in school. I didn't have time to see the world, travel the world and learn who I am in this world, and that's exactly what I did.

Hawaii trial cancelled; Tigers prioritise James Tedesco as rival clubs circle

THE NRL trial in Honolulu at Aloha Stadium next February has been postponed ­because of TV production costs. Tigers boss Justin Pascoe told us they were forced last week to put the idea on the backburner.

Pascoe remains hopeful the Hawaiian pre-season game will proceed in 2018. Officials from both clubs flew to Hawaii towards the end of the regular season to inspect the facilities and accommodation options.

Over the last two seasons he has played 41 from 48 games for the tigers. 1 of those games he missed due to origin, and 3 due to his broken jaw - a hard tissue injury from a collision.

He really isn't as injury prone anymore as people on here make him out to be.

C'mon now. He's played 1 full season out of 5! He's been on the field something like 70 out of 120 odd games in 5 years.

Knee reco, broken patella, fractured fibula, broken jaw. He's had injuries that cruel a career.

Matt McIlwrick: Young Wests Tigers have Shark-like traits

Wests Tigers hooker Matt McIlwrick believes his new club boasts the type of traits that took the Sharks all the way.

"It was good to be part of the premiership-winning side, I got a couple of games in last year and I guess now what I can say is that I know what it takes to win a premiership," McIlwrick said. "I saw the training all the boys put in day in and day out and especially the unity that the Sharks had last year and I feel a very similar thing here at the Tigers.

Gosh. I hope Ricky is onto that tactical nugget.
Gina Riley: Oh, come on, John. That’s a bit old hat, the corrupt IOC delegate.
John Clarke: Old hat? Gina, in the scientific world when they see that something is happening again and again and again, repeatedly, they don’t call it old hat. They call it a pattern.

Wests Tigers Kyle Lovett pleads guilty to having cocaine in his underpants

Kyle Lovett's night on the town started at The Ivy nightclub, and ended in an alley being strip-searched by police.

When asked if he had any drugs in his underwear, he said: "I'll be honest with you, I do." Officers found a small bag of cocaine in his underpants, and charged him with possessing about 0.39 grams of the drug. The magistrate did not record a conviction, and handed down a six-month good behaviour bond.
