What a great line. I agree so much with this.
People just want a witch to burn at the stake.

Thank you Cultured Bogan. Thanks for clearing that up. If one can do no wrong then how can one learn. 🙏
Andrew Webster seemingly coaches well, his results are backing that up.
But there is little doubt Benji would be doing just as well if he had the current Warriors squad to work with.
On that topic, Dylan Walker would be an exceptional recruit for us.
He’s not off contract and probably wouldn’t want to leave the Warriors with the success they are having, but an offer of earning significantly more than what the Warriors are paying him could entice him to get home sick.

I highly doubt that. Webster did the work. How many years of coaching in him? Benji is a Virgin. But no disrespect to Vicious.

Is anyone hearing Blake Taaffe to the Tigers? I am not a source of intel. Just heard it from a collegue who is a Rabbitohs supporter. He heard it down the grape vine from a reserve grade Rabbitoh. So not to the Dogs....
Give a coach a decent spine and he will have half a chance of achieving some level of success - I.e. win more than they lose.
Ciraldo would be doing just fine if he took over Cleary's roster as would most coaches. The best coaches may be the ones to get the very best from a team consistently, but no coach will achieve success without the players to make it happen - we are living proof of it.

He is taking over Cleary's roster. Slowly. Luani next. Apologize for my spelling of people names. A tell-tale sign

Unless there has been a very late change of heart, Taafe rejected the Tigers even though we made a very good offer

He loves the club no doubt, if he can do what's best for the club putting everything else aside, then he could do really well at it. I'm also assuming Sheens will be legging it back to England at the end of next year.

Have it on pretty good authority that Connor Tracey is desperately trying to get out of his deal with Cronulla, however Cronulla refuse to let him leave as the belief around the squad is that Siosifa Talakai is the one being shopped around quietly and are hoping for his form to improve so they don't need to chip in too much. Cronulla aren't impressed with the way he has played since signing his big $ contract late last year after playing origin when his stock was quite high and are hoping to offload him. Parramatta had a verbal agreement with Tracey but have now cooled there interest due to Cronulla's unwillingness to let him go.
Where the story gets interesting is that if Talakai becomes available we're one of the clubs that'll throw our hats in the ring as we actually contacted his management last year before he re-signed.
Personally, if Sharks chip in I'd happily take Talakai off them. Tracey's frustrations is growing by the day though as he's 27 and wants to be playing NRL consistently. Either player would improve our outside back depth quite significantly.

Can you blame him?

So true, it’s all about having a standout 9, 7 and 1 and 14 other players who believe in the coach and are willing to work for each other.
Bellyache could not turn Wakeham into a champion, but he probably could surround him with a couple of champions so he can get a job done. Anyway, a good coach helps but it’s your roster that wins games
Makes you wonder why he couldn’t just enjoy the moment, bitter fool.

Sad story. If true.
Nope, any half would have to have the utmost confidence in their ability to turn things around before agreeing to set foot into this place. Otherwise they know they’ll just be the next scapegoat and I don’t think any amount of money they earn could offset that unwanted mantle.

And as others have mentioned, I am yet to see an ex player who now is on commentary, ravage his old club so poorly. I get that he might not want to be seen as biased towards us, but we get zero love from him.

Lucky Sezar did not read the memo.
Has Sezer actually signed?

He hates the JV. I do laugh every time Warren Smith calls them “Wests” in his presence. You just know Blocker is grinding his teeth
