Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I have read pages and pages of so called "suggestions"....until this club starts looking at the youth and complimenting them with experienced players outside of the Moses,Brown Lodge type people that were here before and left a deplorable mark on this club,then we may start to progress in a forward winning manner...
Im still at a loss that the club has chosen the Sheens,Benji and Farah trio as our saving grace...17 years ago and people are still hanging on the glory days,if you look back and think,Sheens left and sued the club,Benji thought he could make a mark on Union,Farah thought he was the club and yet we havent played finals in over 10 years...
I hope that all that think we will have better days ahead prepare themselves for a long stint in the disappointed room,I hope Im wrong and we finally get to be the club we always wanted to be and play finals football for the members and fans...
Its like me putting in to coach the team because I scored the winning try to get us into the finals back in 84 when I played in Group 9,that was a long time ago,so was Tim Sheens and the 2005 GF....


As the wise man told me long ago "never go over ploughed ground,keep moving forward"...

Your not considering that time plays any part in change in those people?

I'd say Benji seems all in and a much more mature , Robbie has been running oranges and water bottles the last couple years and Tim came back to a club that embarrassed him with intent.

Have a bit of faith 👍

Benji is more mature?
Like when he was on radio a couple months back talking about sharing a self relief device amongst housemates in the shower?

Sheens was sacked after 1 year after he signed a 5 year contract if my memory is correct. The side finished 10th after a terrible run of injuries, he sued to recover the money he was owed. The club didn't want to pay him out. Previous 2 years we finished 3rd and 4th. Farah and Marshall are the best 2 players to play for the West Tigers in my opinion, they were both treated shamelessly, as was another legend, Chris Heighington. If you want loyalty from players, you look after them. It works both ways.
 

Ben Houston – Randwick​

The Wicks leader who is seemingly maturing in his role as the season progresses, Houston has been inspirational in his defensive work rate in 2022.

With 211 tackles at a success rate of 81.8% over the first fifteen rounds, Houston ranks second in the Charter Hall Shute Shield behind Easts utility Charles Elton for all key defensive statistics.

Houston’s defensive abilities have played a pivotal role in Randwick’s nail-biting victories over the Wildfires, Easts and West Harbour, while his ability to emerge in critical offensive passages has seen the backrower also notch 5 tries across the season.

Houston is steadily cementing himself as one of the form breakaways in the Shute Shield. His leadership and skill will become of paramount importance to a Wicks outfit still yet to finalise a position in the 2022 Finals series with two rounds to play.
