Added to my list for this afternoon. Cheers

Reminds me of a saying we have on our construction site: "Having (Denny) at work is like having two good blokes off sick!"

The FRG reached out to me today and advised me that wern't aware that Shaun had not been in touch. Something went astray - anyway they had a meeting with Shaun this afternoon and reminded him of his commitment and passed my number to him. If I don't hear from him I will follow up with him as the...

You're right Graham did not play with a 13 on his back but they used him as a running half at times, while also playing a link role out wide as a bally player. I guess the point I was truing to make is that they used him for the skills he had as opposed to the number on his back; which is the...

I just wrote a diatribe on this exact issue here. To sum it up - Benji has given them rope; it is now time to crack on with a wet sail of use the rope to hang the coach!

Benji has shown faith in the team he is developing. It may be the end of him, but you have to rspect a guy that allows players to make mistakes as part of their development. Develpoping a player means you need to allow them to make mistakes. Unfortuantly for us we are not developing a player in...

While I respect you point of view, Luai has proven that, in the right system, he is elite. The issue we have is that we haven't created the environment for a "Luai" to perform. If we hark back to the 05 Wests Tigers, we were playing a different brand of footy to the rest of the competion, under...

Provided he has his head in the game for 80 minutes at a time!

Hi Ink, Here is the link to what was sent to the FRG; if you go back a few posts you will get to the start of the discussion. Cheers n Beers Jolls

i am attending the first Wests Tigers CEO forum on 20 Jan. I received a members email on 12 Dec requesting interest from members who would like to speak with thc CEO. I responded and and on Monday I received an email outling four open sessions with Shaun; two foruims at the CEO, one at...

You are on the money; this is the only way unstructured players are effective. They know that somewhere there is someone to hit once they finsh fart-arsing about with the ball.

Totally agree, especially with our defensive structures. In attack I am willing to take a little risk - doing what everone else does won't win a premiership. Cutting edge might just get us enough of an edge to do that - proabaly nto this year but potentially witing the next few.

With what we have ot our disposal I think Benji needs to throw out the convention of the conventional 13 and 7, For us I think they are just numbers if our goal is to run a combination of Luai, AD and Latu. for this to wrok we need to develop a system that works for us; similar to the way...

This is why we need a hybrid 7/13 as opposed to trying to change his natural talents in the short term. Let him develop naturally and move him as required. No need to stifle his development by shoehorning into the conventional 7 position. Put the 7 on his back but develop our play around the...

Maybe as a stop gap but he is too talented to be a 14 in the long term.
