faataape might be off to super league

That comp will be perfect for Faataape, good luck to him.

 

[batboy]

they just signed Jack de belin

You don't watch him?
He'd towel up a few of our 'Best' Middles without much Fuss

Richo should be on the phone to them advising we have 3 other really good players who would be perfect for them, Royce Hunt, Jack Bird and Jayden Sullivan.
Surely they can throw in All You Can Eat Frogs Legs every Tuesday night as part of Royce’s deal ?

except he didn’t when we played them lol

We did 'limp' past them earlier this year!!
You just start watching the last few months?
Beat us twice last year, one of them was 56-14,
We split the wins the year before.

All that has little to do with what I said,
None of our Middles would frighten him, He's been one of their better players this year
and easily matches most of our middles - A good signing for Parra.

Ladder also has them 3 Spots in front of us despite them dropping the game against us.

When we sacked Madge without a ready replacement, that was enough for me.

He should have seen the year out so at least we could prepare properly.

If he had to go, we should have had a successor all lined up. Instead it was a mess.

We did have a successor, the problem was he was the one who sacked Madge and had to hide it for ages

He’s still good, defends at 96% and makes 100m a game for only 300k.

Parramatta Gaol shut down years ago 🤷‍♂️

Did it?
Ah the memories.

🎼🎶She used to send me roses 🎵🎶

It’s the $300 k that makes him look good.
He worth that all day.

they’ve won the same amount of games as us , they’ve only ahead by 2 points because they’ve had their byes 😂

Picture for one moment that you're a CEO that gets minimal financial support from HBG. What does one do? Piss and moan about it? Or go out and turn a profit and make the club self sufficient to get the resources it needs to win those premierships.

I don't think the owners have given the CEO much choice here.

When I hear our only talent scout is Shannon Gallant on a part-time basis, it's obvious HBG put nowhere near the amount we need into the football department. Imagine where else we are lacking if that is allowed to occur in the premier football code in the country.

I see a guy who has inherited a mess. Nothing was done well at our club. Absolutely nothing. He is trying to fix it all, yet people expect overnight results. The timeframe people are willing to wait doesn't match the job that needs to be done to get us back on track.

I'm pretty sure your both making the exact same point, in that Richo has to place some focus on making sure the Wests Tigers are turning a profit because we don't get the required financial support from the owners, instead of Richo just solely focusing on getting us a premiership.

After Ciraldo spoke to Gus and left us stranded, we binned 16 Applications until Tim appointed himself.

He said he didn’t clamour or seek the role but the board thrust it upon him.

And to help the club, he reluctantly took the position.

17% success rate.

None of those 16 applications would have been from coaches who had won the last 8 grand finals nor Wayne Bennet so we could be in exactly the same place we are today if we have read them.

And Parramatta want the 3 Tiger brothers for there rebuild

That's a cute pipedream for them to have.

Told again today Benji gone end of year

And

Tell me, who is the one that makes the call, is it Richo or HBG?

If it's Richo, then Benji is safe as houses.. the exception being if the senior playing group approached Richo...

 

[TSP]

Well there’s been echoes of this kind of justification from Richo about Benji such as on 360.

I think It devalues the club to suggest that not many people want to coach us and it’s likely to be quite untrue.

A lot of coaches would be beside themselves to coach at NRL level.

Well you don’t know, youre guessing.

We got 17% anyway. So any coach might have been better than Tim.

How did Ciraldo leave “ us stranded “ ? By saying no ?

It’s a free world … at least here

Benji wanted all 3 of these guys. It’s on him to make it work.

And

I can't see it unless its Benji falling on his sword, but i think its fairly obvious Benji hasn't worked and if he does want to be a coach needs to be an assistant for a good few years first.
If this has any legs though you'd imagine Willie Peters probably high on Richo's list.
