A big part of our 2024 defensive problem was our attack. We couldn't get out of our own end and had an average kicking game. So we hand the ball over in good field position and are on the back foot set, after set. We have improved that aspect of the roster and some.
We had some good attacking stats, but poor field position and a few pea hearts in the roster. Now we have moved them on we should compete.
We need to get Sione over the line; I guess we will see what happens with Bateman. I expect Richo has a plan for the moves that will follow Hunt being sighed by the Donkeys. I don't think we are quite done in the 25 market yet.

No chance and even he knows that. Look and compare the rosters.

No. But what other option did coaches have pre-Richo?
You think the Leiluas on big money were Madge type players?

Yeah … I doubt he was “in” on it …
In your often posted rants about the all the “sacked coaches “ … Ivan deciding to walk away from the mess he mostly created doesn’t seem to get much reflection I have noticed

The CEO who employed his mate then let him walk out mid-job seems a bigger crime than the coach leaving because his son could see the train wreck he’d be walking into.

Same thing Richo did with Galvin, grow a set.

haha … comparing a coach that doesn’t want to be here to a 19 yr old player…
imagine trying to remain the coach of a professional sports team when all the players know you want out .. can you name another team in any sport where this has happened?

Those players you helped put on four year deals at 750K to a million bucks a season. Suck it up brother, finish the job you promised these blokes. And are contracted to do.

So no other examples where it had happened?
I know it couldn’t have been much worse … but do you think this is a good recipe for success ? Forcing the coach that publicly doesn’t want to be here to see out his contract ?

Realistically, I think he should have been made to do another year and a new coach working behind the scenes on the roster.

I don’t agree … and it doesn’t happen in professional sports …. I’ll leave it at that

Calling the Wests Tigers professional under Pascoe is a stretch. That whole situation we are discussing pretty much says it all.

I reckon WT play finals in 2018 if the traitor didn't become so clandestinely midseason, even if he had been upfront about it instead of misleading some with his initial delaying statement.
