This would have purely been done after the May signing to let makasini know he's still a priority and he's pathway isnt blocked. That and that there is a kid who wants to be here and play for Benji, unlike that bandwagon douche that just left.
Richo is just managing expectations with that timeframe. You dont think that he'll come into the side if he's ready earlier? Of course he will.
If we start put no weight on training and earning a spot, and instead just focus on pure ability, what kind of team do you think we'll end up with?
I am too if his hammy would be OK. He still needs time. Do we want 2 x 19 yr olds as our half options next year? (latu, mason), or do we try to push to finals.
Latu has injury concerns and heath still needs to learn how to tackle. It's just so risky if his hammy still has issues.
Reynolds for...
I wonder if they are starting to remove our juniors from the spotlight after the Galvin saga. Put them on the centre stage too early and other teams just poach them
Geez BZN, you've got some anger issues there mate. Nothing really prompted this that I could see.
HBG deserves to name it whatever they want if it's not part of a pre-existing agreement. But I would love for it to be "Wests Tigers" and become a new hub for the merged club.
Is anyone else getting sick of the email for the Women's team? I mean, I'm 100% behind the womens team, but they've got to do better with their email timings with our 1st grade mens team deperate for some upgrades.
When you're in it for yourself rather than the club, then you don't deserve anyone's respect. Regardless what you look like (but that certainly does amplify it)...
But I'm off topic! How good is roycee?
We haven't got enough leaders to let Api go. He's more than just a player in a position to the team.
I hope that Richo can work out a transition plan that works for both Api and TDS. They seem to have mutual respect for each other and I'd say there will be some give and take on both sides.
When a guy who has governed over 2 decades of failure can keep forcing his way onto the board, through coups, and has no accountability, there's a reason why no one takes our mgmt seriously (nor some of the players).
We can't put all this on Benji. He has an ex-first-grade coach in JoMo alongside him.
Is there a world where Benji would be happy to have another ex-First Grade coach on the books? Maybe that's the path.
