The attacking abilities of the individual Wests Tigers players proved to be the difference between the two teams in their comfortable 25-12 victory over the St George-Illawarra Dragons.

Wests Tigers chief executive Justin Pascoe says the club will this week examine comments made by Robbie Farah in which he took aim at coach Jason Taylor for dumping him from the NRL side.

In his heart of hearts, Robbie Farah might have been hoping he would gain a whole lot from doing not much at ANZ Stadium.

St George Illawarra have re-emerged as a potential destination for Robbie Farah in a development that could save the NSW hooker's NRL career.

Benji Marshall is an all but certain starter for Sunday's clash with the Tigers at ANZ Stadium after again having the handbrake put on his dodgy hamstring by club medical staff before last Friday's loss to Gold Coast.

Paul McGregor admitted a second-tier salary cap squeeze is likely to prevent him from wielding the selection axe.

Out-of-favour Gold Coast speedster Josh Hoffman, told he is free to talk to NRL rivals if he wants an early release, inspired the Titans to trade a top-eight place with St George Illawarra.

Content off the field, Russell Packer is still intent on repaying the faith.

St George Illawarra playmaker says it wouldn't be right for the NRL to rubber stamp Hayne's contract because Kieran Foran was already set to miss the rest of the year with a shoulder injury and his salary should still count towards their cap.

Benji Marshall will play his 250th game on Friday, trying to lift St George Illawarra to the NRL finals and prove he's the club's best halfback option.

Josh Dugan arrived in Blues camp hoping to erase the memory of a horror outing at Brookvale Oval for the Dragons.

Paul McGregor issues scathing review of his side's 30-point loss to the Sea Eagles: "I'm more embarrassed about the scoreline than anything else."

It's been under siege all season, but Brookvale as a fortress remains in tact as Manly thump Dragons

Off-contract St George Illawarra hooker Mitch Rein admits he is in the dark over his future beyond this year as the highest profile rake on the open market refuses to be dictated by lingering contract negotiations.

Stranded on the cusp of Dragons history, Ben Creagh is still in the dark about whether he will reach the milestone as the club's most capped player after admitting he may not get back on the park again this year.

The Dragons have climbed into the top eight and and Benji Marshall has pushed his case for a new contract in a 30-18 win against hapless Newcastle.

He is one of the most controversial players in Newcastle's history despite never taking the field in red-and-blue jersey.

Josh Dugan will have to complete a contact session on Friday but the club is confident he will play on Saturday.

As Josh Dugan returns, the Dragons will need a Jarryd Hayne-style attacking overhaul to be an NRL title contender.
