I said 3 coaches - You can count right?
Before this 'plan' took off
1 - Benji
2 - Farah
3 - Heighno
had zero games coaching experience at senior level. (Any level really)

Compared to that, Make Hodgo look like Wayne Bennett

Ah, ignore the main assistant because it doesn't fit your narrative.

Got it.
 
why is everyone still defending benji --

2 wooden spoons

never coached before

IMAGINE -- if it wasnt Benji but someone else, like John Skandalis or Pat Richards who was the coach.

Both never coached before, both 2005 Wests Tigers champions.

And then they win the wooden spoon twice in a row.

Everyone would be going MENTAL.

Ahhhh the Benji factor hey. Hard to see past.

Poo-pooing even the idea of Haas, the best prop in the game by a mile.
And some say we shouldn’t spend on To’o either. The best winger in the game.

Crikey.

I don't think anyone is poo-pooing the idea bigsiro, just doubting a player of his caliber would end up playing for us.

The only problem though is where not getting them anyway

I would love them but don't believe it is happening one little bit

I purchased a pineapple Fanta from the Kempsey Service Centre yesterday, and I noticed the place that sold all the pies sold 'crocodile pies'...but I forgot to ask if they sold 'Crocodile Rolls' haha.
If they do maybe they can be our major sponsor haha.

Penrith have openly stated they won't let to'o leave until the end of his contract which is the end of 2025. So maybe we take him for 2026.

He is contracted to the end of 2027 not 2025


Despite so many moving pieces around him, To'o is adamant he won't be pushing for a release from his contract at the foot of the mountains, which runs until the end of 2027.

"This club means everything to me," he said.

"It's my home and god willing, hopefully I can stay for a little bit more time."

Manly boss Tony Mestrov has outlined his club’s blueprint for ongoing success which includes locking down coach Anthony Seibold and ensuring all their pathway teams – including their NSW side – play under the Sea Eagles umbrella. https://dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-2024-manly-sea-eagles-to-end-partnership-with-blacktown-workers-following-club-review/news-story/2c8a05a48675c7ddf2175e1cb92f16ce via @dailytelegraph

I can't imagine a more unlikely marriage than 'Blacktown' Workers and the Manly Silvertails.
Nothing wrong with Blacktown though as I used to live there and had many buffet lunches at their Sports Club.

We’ve picked up a couple of key guys coming in from the potential four time premiers in positions of need.

There’s no doubt since Sheens/Benji & now Richo came along the credibility of the club (and hence recruitment) has improved.

It’s just not possible to fix all the problems of the past overnight. This year was the first year we actually improved results in many years.

"3 representative forwards"...
It's a great sales pitch.
But in reality they weren't representative forwards when they pulled on the Wests Tigers jersey.
So I don't buy it.
The replacements will probably be better on the field wearing the wests tigers than those 3 ever were.

Really...?
Bateman is a current England international
Paps pretty much the same in NZ..and the only forward with any semblance of fear factor we have
,,and Stefano was in Blues squad last season...based entirely on potential I know,but theyre indeed the facts..which we prefer to deal in from this end ...
No..we dont do "sales pitches" as you ascribe
And by contesting minutia,of whether they were or were not.or whatever... You miss the entire point
.. Weve lost 3 genuine NRL forwards or better,that need to be replaced
A bench player from Broncos doesnt quite do it,unless he brings a few buddies with him
Atm backs improving but ,forward pack is going backwards
But ...off season to come

Great to hear the players are on notice. Last year we had an 18 yo lanky kid burning everyone in pre-season and a winger getting lapped by forwards.

One suspects a few roster spots might be freed up in November/ December.

If any of you head down for a look be sure to report back to us whose not hacking it.

I also doubt it.

What was written though was “I could think of better ways to spend 2 million bucks....”.

Rebecca in Ted Lasso perfectly sums up my feelings when I keep hearing stuff like this from our own fans:

“You're just so convinced that you don't deserve anything good in your life, that you'd rather eat a bowl of sh!t soup and then complain about the portions. Get out of your own way, man. 'Cause this whole ‘woe is me’ thing you've got going on is just f?cking ponderous.”
