Thank you @willow and @cochise. I’m sure you have both put hundreds of hours in to thankless work.

Nah, Tigers are everyone’s second favourite team. Accordingly we generate more clicks and views than every other club. So whilst our primary supporter base isn’t as high as many clubs, negative stories about us are interesting to many NRL fans.

Doesn’t work for me. When I don’t sign it for a week or so I have to scroll for ever to get to current jibber. Can’t see an easy way to skip when in that mode

On TV when they show a patient flat lining (the long beeeep) that is the point where the Defib no longer works in real life.

Cameron Smith would be worth $1m a year as an assistant coach if we would lure him to Sydney

Luciano is a bigger defensive liability than he is an attacking asset. Either he plays less minutes (heaven only knows why they try play him 80) Or he Gets a lot fitter. How can you not see he is the starting problem for the defensive issues in our centres and wing. Rather than reply go...

Two excellent posts. Thanks for contributing them @Krammy @Madge

I am struggling to identify players who have tangibly improved under Madge? For clarities sake I am defining improvement as being able to put natural talent into practice more consistently or effectively. Let’s consider our top 4 players this year in terms of hype. Stefano Laurie Doueihi...

Agree and was thinking of Ivan’s mid season slump. I was trying to cover that in my second post. Inconsistent performance when a new ‘Great leader’ comes for me means there is a talent problem.

Also, @Tiger-Tragic thank you for all those things you did to help Aussie kids that no-one ever noticed or said thank you for. Being a principal is an incredible achievement and a role that when done well changes lives.

So true. My spelling is atrocious. It took me three tries to get spell checker to suggest that word.

Summary Great leaders attract top performers When I see Principal 1 solved, EVERY TIME I see people want to join that team and I quote “be part of what is happening there”. I hate to admit it, but that is what we heard when Ivan was recruiting although he paid way to much for this players...

PRINCIPAL 3 Great Leader + Weak talent = inconsistent performance. Four years ago we acquired a new business. This situation allowed me to see what happens when you put exceptional leaders with less talented teams. Distilling it down I observed inconsistent improvements in people and short...

Just over three years ago I was so proud of our first few games of the season under Ivan. I remember our defensive line punishing runners. I remember the scramble. I remember the intensity. I felt proud to be part of Wests Tigers. That year the players hadn’t changed. For some reason they just...

It’s the mindset and confidence of the players that is off. The team barely celebrate when we score. Go watch the reply. Then watch the sharks score and the LOVE IT We are an unhappy team. The players don’t believe in themselves. That’s the environment. Some of that is our club… but it’s...
