OFFICIAL Pathways - KOE General Discussion

I was told that there were staffing issues over the summer. I think a couple of other staff members left with Richo or were pushed out by HBG. In any case we were low on staff hence the bare bones content and web updates.

Recruitment is done and we now have staff so content on all grades should improve.

Nice to finally get some squad news...! No real surprises with the squad

Thanks for the heads up.

Overall abit disappointing game by Wests, they were full of energy for 30 mins then just a drop in energy, depth and squad is definitely better then last year however not. Bunty was ok not a standout though

How did Javron Andrews go ?

Too many errors already 6 mins in...were trying to win it now

Disappointing result. That’s hardly a stellar lineup they were up against.

Exactly my thoughts.... They weren't facing a star sided NSW cup opposition..... I thought the Wests would steam roll them today but very ordinary overall, yet again depth is an issue

Bears side played last week which makes a huge difference and they only went down to a quality panthers side last week. Plus bears have the advantage of training together all off season given they have no nrl club

How did Javron Andrews go ?

He was very poor. Made several crucial errors under little pressure.
The entire line-up struggled without a leader. If we had hope and Madden I think we win. We had no structure in attack and just very little quality out there

Tito tavana with two massive fans changing errors. He scored a great try on the air, but made two terrible errors, both of which led to a bears try within 30 seconds.

Having a loose carry 5 seconds before half-time after diffusing a poor kick was inexcusable. Going in level was a sucker punch they didn't deserve when all he had to do was lie in the ground for a bit.

Saukuru probably our best, made strong metres with every run. Bunty was quiet, whole pack lacked any real edge. As usual for us the team lacked X factor. No pace, no power. Attard didn't get many opportunities but diffused most kicks in defence and scored a good try by supporting through the middle. Lanyon also made a difference when on, Stefanovic is no hooker.

Matai is no halfback, Andrews had a shocker with his hands and just struggled to get involved

They really missed having hope, madden and Geyer out there. No experience, little composure. The extended NRL bench was very costly for the Magpies.
