would a good coach pick AJ Kepoa every week on the wing to leak 3-4 tries a game?

If there was no one else to pick due to injury. We have Staines and Nofoaluma perhaps back this game. Kepaoa played really good football at 2nd row and I'm sure he will return in competition with others for a position. If I recall he was switched to 2nd row by the coaching team.

We're low on options sadly 😢

I seriously don’t know how you could defend this decision… the guy is one of the worst players I have ever seen in a WT jersey …which is saying a lot as I have been watching them for 24 years and seen the likes of Nick Graham

anyone would be more preferable on the wing than him and week after week we are his lack of desire and talent on full display

 

[tigertuff]

well I could have …and in hindsight he should have had in the team from Week 1

He wasn't in the top 30 at the time.

There was few (if any) options available.

Don’t deflect Mrs Sheens …

That has nothing to do with your husband picking AJ every week

This club is like a car that's on its last legs.

Were telling people that we will wash it next season and it will be awsome. NO one wants to buy it.

Heartbreaking

Anybody seeing a modern day backrower in Bateman, and the club signing him to a 4 year contract for over 700k per year and plus the transfer fee they paid 250,00k, seriously he offers nothing, his competitive nature doesn't now even exist. Bula has shown how special he is going to be, from Nov 1 next year, he is open to signing with another club even though he is signed for 25, just go and offer another 4 years and do something normal Weststigers

No shit, he was coming back from injury through KOE cup and got injured. If he got through that game I’m going to guess he would back in firsts this week at the expense of AJ but there were no other options to play unless you put Hopa or Reilly in.

Oh I’m sorry … I didn’t know it was a prerequisite to come back from injury via reserves .. I must have missed API’s game there last week..

I was told there were no other options to AJ… i have named two.. neither are ideal but they are both superior to the option that was selected.. as we witnessed ( again)

I wrote few (if any) options. A coach has a duty of care to his players. Remember how many wanted Blore back in the team immediately but he was held back by the coaching staff to get some game time in NSW Cup. It worked well and I'm pleased Blore has come back well.

I have never seen you be critical of Sheens and you try to defend him usually in the most illogical ways…like this discussion about his repeated selections of AJ ( i assumed you watched his game on the weekend right?)

Now I see you mentioning 3 or 4 times Sheens preseason comments about Bula as proof of being a good coach… bizarre..

I don’t recall Sheens saying in the preseason that we would only win 3 games and get the spoon again… but here we are

When were we a proud club ? We have been shit for virtually our whole existence - even when we won the comp the actual club was so broke we couldn't pay the full cap. Before we merged we were 2 of the worst clubs in the Comp for 10 years. I'm not sure they have ruined it just continued it and if anything at least they sent us from poor and crap the well off and crap which at least provide potential for success when they go.

05 was special. 08/09 that squad should have made finals
2010 1 point off a GF and 2011 disappointment when the warriors knocked us out of the finals, they went onto the final.

2012 the club was premiership favourites and hasn’t recovered.

But for a while there even when we were a middle of the rode team, we could ambush clubs and cause an upset. Finished 9th a few times and had last round games to make the playoffs. Young players coming through the grades, passionate fans and players who wanted to play for the badge. Balmain and Wests were struggling when we merged but we’re proud clubs.

Now we are an embarrassment, my mates feel sorry for me and WT fans. 6 wins in 2 seasons. I wont renew my membership until Lee and Justin are gone. Anyways this is probably the wrong thread.

For 2024 if we keep Api, Bula and Seizer thats a decent spine. We need to turn it around or all these kids coming through will leave again like the Poles, Bula, Toupou, Steph etc and it will be Another decade of misery.

Tough times dont last. We have probably one more shot next year with the best 9 in the comp

Neither did I but that’s what the club chose to, why don’t you write a strongly worded letter to the club and let them know what you would have done, I’m sure they would love to know.
