I cannot believe in all of inner west and south west Sydney there are not a lot of big, fast wingers, back rowers etc playing that we can get for next season. We seem to have plenty of small players on tap but bugger all big ones. It's the way NRL is now, size and speed are king.

Benji has to fix the coaching staff - again. The assistant level is not working. Either that or the main coach is not working. Our defence has collapsed, our attack remains pretty much clueless. However our fitness seems better but injuries need some magic wand. Not sure whether shoulder pads...

The question is why were we so flat?

Bula has to get into the attack play more and hopefully score a try or two. He really doesn't seem to do it a lot.

Gee, those 6 agains are so subjective and half the time (atleast) I've got no idea why.

Still could of been a useful squad member

I can see some justification for Madden over Latu but also see the argument for putting Latu in there. For Madden- he is a relatively experienced player now- WT don't have a huge number in the team, he would be back up kicker to Doueihi, good tactical sense etc. For Latu- he needs to be able...

it would be interesting t see a breakdown of the injuries suffered for 2026 and how long out.

At fullback in our team and the way it plays Bula rarely ever gets the ball to use his speed. Or atleast thats the way it seems to me.

Never thought id agree to Sloan but geez we need extra speed. Bula has not been a great threat with our current backline squad. I hope that some of our new signings can give him more opportunities to take up the attack.

Alas, that is classic WT lack of attacking structure We've been not doing it for yonks.

And we've lost May for the rest of the season Id say.

Roosters would be a shoe in if Manu is to come back- that sombrero is very flexible.

Some extra $$ to try to get Manu back?

Yes, I have to agree that the sheer amount of injuries especially to shoulders and also more than the occasional concussion WT should institute compulsory wearing of both approved head gear and shoulder pads to try to minimize injury. Anything to help.
