The best thing about today?

At the moment he has literally done nothing in the NRL …so this talk is premature ..

also having hamstring issues at 19 is not a great start to his NRL career … he can’t even get through a game off the bench

I’m hoping he lives up to the wraps he came here with … but let’s wait and see

Talk about not needing him is just as premature imo. Hell of a lot of things to happen over the next 2 years, mainly what the future holds for Galvin.

I hope they are taking their time with Latu, sending him off to all the specialists he needs. Wouldnt surprise me if come November 2025 there will be need of him.

"Benji's" coaching!!!
Seems to be getting the most out of the new guys. They are listening and sticking to the game plan.
Fiery flair ups gone, brain explosions gone, want to be here next year, earn it.
Better bench rotations all adding up to better results.

The 200 Benji can't coach/ sack Benji threads have gone strangely quiet.

I have not said they don’t need him (Latu) … I’m just saying it’s premature to anoint him as special yet because he hasn’t done anything ..I thought we would have learnt this by now

Fair, I probably should of responded to the original comment which was around there no longer being a need for him because of Galvins peformances. Like the last few weeks and who his manager is has been completely forgotten.

There is a 6 and 7 in a team and our current 7 is in the twilight of his career. Young Fainu is a super talent and a player who will play a big role in the rebirth of WTs. There is no issue here and I am unsure why it is raised. I am sure Marshall and his staff are very pleased to have quality young halves at the club.

No issue right now but it’ll become one at some point. A good headache for now.

Maybe the young blokes buy into it more, some of the older guys might have been giving a bit of pushback or just didnt respond to it as well. It's hard to say from the outside looking in, could be an anomaly or could have just taken this long to bed in. Also its difficult with the amount of churn the squad has had can't get any consistency with massive injury and suspension.

Didnt realise it was 4 years since we last won at CSS...no wonder there hasn't been any atmosphere at previous games.....today I can say the 10,000, not so good, crowd were very vocal and the atmosphere was excellent.

The weather was BLOODY HORRIBLE!

I mean 10,000 turned up. We were lucky to get that... It is crazy cold.
What on earth were people expecting.

It's unexplored because he's a hologram, a figment of the imagination, a plasticine toy.
The other other kid's a proven commodity against men with talent that's undeniable.
It's time to embrace Galvin and love on him. He's the real deal.
Fainu could be good, who knows, nobody can know, he never plays.

....and how did we get this information on Lachie? We played him.
I was responding to people wanting to trade Latu out of the club before we understand what he can do.

Todd Packer said:
Enough with the international bullshit. He played half a game shovelling the ball from dummy half.
Johnny Mitsias is an international. He also couldn't make it out of Ron Massey Cup. Let's put him in.

This is such an ignorant take lol. Give yourself a good one from me.

Honestly, i dont' see why.

Yes, we had 1 good game vs Canberra. If Benji gets a 50/50 record from Now to the end of the year ill be quiet. (on games yet to happen, not total per year).

Very glad to see the win, but it's one game.
 
It felt like the bounce of the ball and 12 years of tough luck finally went our way 😂

Naden's intercept and Luke's try on debut really set the tone IMO. The effort and commitment was noticeable from the get-go. Sezer and Api are terrific leaders and you can see the youth in the side has revitalised them. It looked like they were playing for each other.

Good on Benji and the coaching staff for keeping them motivated. This new crop of players have brought some renewed energy.

All the kids played with confidence, unencumbered by any sort of expectation or fear and looked like winners.

This has to be close to the most inexperienced team in terms of games to that the field in the NRL era.

I feel the future is looking bright!

(Honourable mention to AD. Just great to see him out there and playing. They should allow to play the roving centre role like Turbo/Latrelle do at Origin).

Yes I’m wondering why there is no talk of the ‘Baby Tigers’ in the media like there was for the ‘Baby Broncos’ and others in times past. This young team deserves a better wrap.
