I think the most important thing is that they need to have connections that are willing to invest $$$ in WT and happy to be repaid in exposure/ branding. I honestly want to know how other NRL clubs function. Do other club owners distribute some profits to the shareholders? If they don't, are...

I used to feel the same way but have changed my stance on it a little bit. Board instability etc is annoying but the major issue is lack of funding. We have teams in every single NSWRL and NRL comps but our budget is the lowest collectively. If you want owners to invest heavily in the Club...

This is a fantastic joke

Thanks mate. I didn't know that HBG was non- profit. Can you expand more on their charter or how it works? I couldn't find much info on their website. I know you probably don't have this answer but I'd love to know more about what "investing" in development pathways means. We seem to have...

Thanks for a great summation Jolls but the bolded part is still the biggest issue IMO. Sounds like Shaun is finally bringing us into the 21st century with what he's saying, but it's all irrelevant unless we are able to upskill the entire staff. Assuming that we have the right people in charge...

I always get reminded of how backwards our Club is when I see articles like this. I know this thread is about Benji but even our Head of Performance, Peter Moussa. He's been here for 15+ years but I wonder how much professional development he's actually done? All of them, our physios, S&c...

Do you know which days they train? I'm in the area so wouldn't mind popping by some time this week

There's a "science" to coaching. As a head coach, I feel it's important for Benji to do courses of sports psychology, sports science, nutrition etc. He obviously doesn't need a PhD in all that but we employ all these people and they're answerable to the head coach. Let's say through his...

Wade Graham played L edge not 13. The only other teams that I can think did what you're saying is Dogs in 2014 with Graham, Kasiano etc, however even that was short- lived. Douehi and Latu have a good boot on them, whereas Luai has the smarts. I feel Luai needs to be that organising half...

Great points. I like what Jolls was saying in terms of a hybrid 13/7 role, but AD is a skill based half, not a managing half so I doubt he can make a transition to an organising 13. In fact, there aren't many organising 13s in the comp other than Yeo and Murray. The management part of...

All over, no cricket, no footy for 2 months. Might need to start watching BBL now.

I don't want to give credit to the wrong person but I have a feeling this is the Terrell May effect. I'm sure our physios and trainers worked hard on Hunt too and so did he, but having May there who went through this transition last year helps motivates you. Really hope this is a sign of...

40 (130)- real Bazball there crazy good batter though

I didn't think this initiative would do much initially but very glad of the turnout. A big part of me still believes that they will do a couple of cosmetic and knee jerk changes, but 2-3 years later, go back to the way it has been. But, I see a tiny little chance that HBG just says f it, it's...

Are you sure about that? Is it included in the off field cap we have on support staff?
