Shane Richardson knew nothing about Benji and WT’s culture and look what he helped us build. there were plenty of robust discussions and differences between those two along the way that helped create what we’re looking at currently. Pat is going to be Benji’s yes man and I don’t like that.

the issue with Richards as DoF is not that he doesn’t understand how a Football Department works, but that it’s yet another Marshall-aligned appointment. the same as Gallant and Bronson, the same as Bomber, Hodgo and Heighington. how is he going to be tested, challenged and improve on things...

this will be Shaun Mielekamp and Shannon Gallant's biggest tests of their tenures at Wests Tigers. retain this group going to free agency and the premiership window remains open, lose the majority and it becomes a flash in the pan. going to be a very interesting next few weeks.

I'm really gonna miss him.

agree on missing Kit. he was really coming into his own last year. no word on Elijah mate sorry.

I think the biggest issue is that Geyer's the play one guy and Bunty's play two when it should be the other way round. Geyer is not that bloke at all for mine. we hear all this chat in the preseason about Bunty being a leader, but he's not even leading from the front in Cup, let alone first...

I'm curious to see where he's at come end of season. club's being extremely patient with him. very little exposure to Cup at this point.

you reckon he leaned into it? he looked awkward as to me

Jarome wasn't good enough on Saturday night, pure and simple. execution was way off and the dropped ball when we had them on the ropes wasn't befitting of a bloke that's got four rings in his jewellery box. whether you put it down to cobwebs post-injury, his combination with AD or something...

games against good sides like Brisbane come down to a few key moments and we didn't get them right. it doesn't come down to the Bunker or Todd Smith, it was simply down to execution or lapses on WT's part. teams like Brisbane will make you pay regardless of the amount of ball they have, and they...

it's time the league realised Isaac Moses ain't shit. every coach he represents has either been sacked, is in the gun or walking a tightrope. his stable is mostly loaded with over the hill plodders he's managed to wrangle a contract, and you only have to look at what he's done to established...

I think you encourage him to run the football even more at centre, not the opposite.

new coaches and series losses to a lesser extent do see changes in the squad. that said, Daley's never picked anyone from WT so I don't anticipate that changing anyway.

don't see Daley picking any of our lot, but Twal should be in the squad. Api's an interesting one because of his age but I can see them opting for Brailey. Samuela's probably still 12 months off given the depth they have on the edges and if Taylan May were injury free he would've went close...

I certainly don't envy Benji this week. 1. Bula 2. Turuva 3. Doueihi 4. May / Makasini 5. Makasini / Tavana 6. Luai 7. Madden 8. May 9. Koroisau 10. Pole 11. Sa. Fainu / Sukkar 12. Pearce-Paul 13. Twal 14. L. Fainu 15. Si. Fainu 16. Hunt 17. Seyfarth 18. L. Laulili'i 19. Hope
