Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Joey Manu is now touring Chiefs headquarters.

we chose Averillo...
be happy

Averillo is a fine signing. He is an upgrade on To'a.

As disappointing as the season is going to finish, Groundhog Day, if we can extend Sam I will get over it quicker but right on cue the media speculation links him to the Chiefs, stinks of trying to jack up the asking price.

I don't know what the hold-up is but this needs to get done, two good backrowers are very important in the building of strong teams.

Yeah, and Luai was supposed to be an upgrade on Brooks too. Averillo hasn’t had the Tigers affect thrust upon him yet.

Fair point. With that logic- we should never sign anyone. Maybe if we sign players already rubbish, they get the reverse effect?

Your conclusion that Benji has failed is your opinion .. period

That's not an opinion, that's a fact...

 

[balmain boy]

The man you worship made plenty of bad decisions and we are now paying the price.
Mielekamp is also there to help Benji, but he is now in a conundrum knowing we have already given Benji far too much control before he had any say in the matter.
How likely is it that Benji would just accept Shaun now making a decision to employ different coaching staff to have more say in game plans, team selection, interchange etc and how likely is it that Benji would now just accept it if Shaun was to make a decision tjo employ a new recruitment manager?
Very unlikely that Benji would accept any of these changes due to the power and control he has previously been given.

If Benji has zero ability to reflect upon his actions and learn from them (as he constantly says he's doing) then he has no place as a head coach.

He had ideas, he was given the freedom to execute them. They failed, now the club has no option but to follow a more proven path

That’s not the logic at all. The take away is take every signing with a grain of salt. Don’t just assume that player X will be an upgrade, because more often than not, they aren’t.

It is the basic of rugby league that i can not understand why Benji has not corrected.

Seeing our team live on Saturday night just made more aware that Benji is not a coach.

The reality is the very good coaches usually sign with clubs who have strong rosters, strong financial backing and are resource rich. This is not the WTs at present.

All new recruits from now on need to go through strict entry therapy, nothing else has worked, this requires them to be strapped to a chair, eyes forced open and brain washed into believing they will become superstars.

 

[Buttface]

Piss off PNG and go target players from another club for once instead of ours. God this shits me!

Blame the NRL, they’re the ones that set the shite rules and they don’t care, they’re want us out without having to actually do it.

Andrew Webster who I think is turning into a fine coach, started with a team that was 15th… took them to third in Year 1

The Warriors are owned by Autex Industries, a NZ family owned company, with the CEO of that company also the CEO of the Warriors.

Was Averillo out injured last weekend ?
As I noticed he didn’t get a call up when Bostock withdrew from the game.
They preferred Cobbo into the centre and a very impressive young bloke on the wing who had speed and was elusive.
Something the Tigers just don’t have.

Smarter than the average bear G, wait till they start playing here and put in some crap performances then start marching them towards the shredder.

So much impatience at times on here.
