Wests Tigers, Canterbury, and Parramatta are struggling, underperforming in rugby league with dismal records this season.
Wests Tigers are a mess, Canterbury stinks, and Parramatta has become a transit lounge.
What the hell has happened to these three once-powerful western Sydney underachievers?
These three clubs represent the demographic engine of rugby league - yet all are bumbling along with Wests Tigers and Parramatta embarrassingly out of finals contention by mid-July.
Despite being whacked by Canberra on Saturday night, Canterbury can still play finals footy but they have as much chance of winning this year's grand final as I do of winning weightlifting gold at the LA Olympics.
The three clubs spread across vast western Sydney have won just 20 of 50 games between them this season and conceded a total of 100 points over the weekend.
