The role of mentor which was one of his motivations for returning to the Panthers for the second time. He has said the Panthers had such a talented group of players who in his opinion are easier to play with and mould. I don't doubt he has had a similar impact on many of our younger players as he did at the Panthers. Being a mentor extends off the field as well.

RE Koroisau, I agree. He would have an easier time with the Penrith Youngsters.

Leadership is though a fountain. You double down and invest, that's a massive lesson learned from Cronulla, Easts and other sides. Have a few good leaders and they can not only help your Juniors...

They help your other leaders perform.

We put WAY too much pressure on single leaders, like Tamou and Packer. They couldn't step up by themselves.

I reckon having Luai + Koroisau will be huge. They will feed off each other.

Hate to say it, but every single player who "waits it out" regarding extending their contract, leaves. Don't really have high hopes he'll stick around but hoping I'm wrong.

True but usually we’re running stone motherless when decision time rolls around.

We weren’t when Tedesco and co bailed

Yeah true, that was when we were always 9th best and the boys probably had designs on a premiership.

It is really important we start this season well.

Agree. Could work our best for both parties if we improve sharply.

Spoon bowl? Was it in reality? Truthful or a lie? Have no issue with honesty tbh. Call a spade a spade. His mistake was he hurt some feelings of some supporters that is all and done so without any intention. Facts are facts, let’s not beat around the bush. The team we had would be lucky to stay clear of the spoon in KOE.

Honestly,

The team had a fighting chance. Benji should have known Parra would turn up. Parra ALWAYS turn up against us and we almost always turn up against them.
Seriously Parra vs Tigers games are damn awesome no matter where either team is on the ladder.

It's not that Benji picked the wrong options or under-estimated a side... It's that Benji told the team to play Sheensball, Fast n Furious.
Why dinnit he expect it to fail?

Someone said Latu went well at the boot camp.

I think it was Joel Caine on the radio this morning

Hopefully past the hammy issues.

If we can win more games than we loose we can use that as motivation. If nothing changes then he’ll wait and go to market.

Shhh 🤫 don’t say the H word.

No some one on here. But that’s good it’s been reported to.

Exactly. If we’re sitting in the top eight and he’s playing well his profile will be through the roof. He’ll be playing in front of sell outs. I’d back him to stay.

If we’re losing, we probably deserve what we always get.

1 + 1 = 2.

Is the guy in the 3 jersey related to Makasini ?

His polish cousin I think

Dogs did it no reason we can't.

Dogs did it no reason we can't.

Their success relied on sharp improvement from guys like Curran, Kikau and the young backrower with long hair, name escaping me. We’ll need significant improvement from some of our forwards to compete with the best sides.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

But nothing to do with the coach.

 

[upthetigers]

Agreed, I also think our rebuild is better then theirs.
