Any 2 of the 3 make us a much better side that would challenge for the 8.

In regards to Bennett, given how prickly he is with club administration, the way he clashed with Bronco officials, can you imagine him here? The reason why I doubt he would have ever come here, regardless of his availability.

WT considering hiring Michael Cheika is 50/50 there.
As Benji taking the reins, doesn't have an old head to lean back on.
Preferably i'd hire someone within in the League with greater NRL experience.

We could hire Gladys and she could do an update at 11:00am every day. 🤣

What 3 are we talking about

Not sure we need those internal WT text messages laid bare, the leaks are bad enough.
“The truth is this; the only team that I ever talked to was the Wests Tigers.
There was a three-year deal with them on offer and I would have done the deal with the Tigers if the Broncos were upfront with me and told me they were going to sack me for 2019.
I gave my word I was staying at the Broncos and I intended to honour my final 12 months, so that’s why I knocked back the Tigers.”

This is text book Pascoe. Could have agreed to terms with Bennett for 2020 and made Ivan stay for 2019.. recruitment would've been easy as you were selling Bennett as a Coach for 2020.
Instead he took Ivan wanting to leave too personally and appointed Madge, and we've struggled since.
Pascoe has no NRL nous.

All humans at the end of the day.
Professional athletes have a short career and I think it’s awesome AJ gave a glimpse of his struggles off the footy field.
Just hope Benji sticks him to 1 position during preseason/season next year.

Don't remind me some of those gronks are still in a job. We are such a weak country
Yep he has been really poorly managed aside from any health struggles off the field. It's hard to perform well and develop your game in a team that is full of weaknesses and getting smashed. I still believe he can offer something but it may not be achieved here.

Too right. If we were a strong country I'd only allow people to work who were really good looking. You'd have to put other criteria into place as well though. I mean we can't have anyone too tall or too short or overweight. They'd also have to talk proper English.
I'd fix this place.

Yep we’re all humans.
But we are a footy team that needs to win.
I hope Benji gets rid of him asap before season starts.

We also have a duty of care. Surely what happened to one of our players in the past shows there are more important things than winning.

He has scored 11 tries in 12 game of Harold Matts, bit harsh mate. We will find out in the next couple of years.

Very good article by Andrew Webster just published on SMH. I've copied it from behind the paywall in another thread linked below.
A few interesting points (including key board dates):
- On Tuesday, the findings from an independent review into the corporate governance of the joint venture will be presented to the Holman Barnes Group. The review is less about Hagipantelis and more about the club’s entire board and structure.
- The right thing for the board to do is accept the recommendations and take action at its final meeting on December 12.
- The man who put Parramatta on the right path was former NRL chief financial officer Tony Crawford, who has conducted the Tigers review alongside businessman Gary Barnier.
- The relationship between Marshall and Fulton has simmered. The fact Marshall has taken charge of negotiations with off-contract Penrith five-eighth Jarome Luai speaks to the autonomy he’s been given – for now.
- Marshall will coach less like Sheens and more like Wayne Bennett. The pair speak regularly.
