I presume 2row?

I think you have hit the nail on the head. A shakeup is warranted ASAP. Benji bogged down with player management; and his so called helpers not up to speed with tactics, opposition weaknesses to exploit, slackening of effort plays from within. And of course we need to get some new external...

I am disappointed in Pole's effort of late. No running onto the ball. Standing flat footed and does a side step straight away to slow his momentum even further, then runs hard with players hanging off him. No impact. Is it just me being too critical? Benji, get him running onto the ball, then...

We start by working on next years deadline, now!

Turuva's defence worries me. Runs in fast only only to be stepped around, and miss them. Attack OK----defence poor. Coming out of own territory hit ups, ordinary only. On current form, overrated IMO. Either of our current wingers could be replaced by Izaac Tu'itupou at the moment.

Just 2 pricks.

Was that because of our forward captain [Api] driving the charge?

I think if Latu and Luai can hang in there together for a while, Toá will get a lot more early ball than he has in the past. He usually gets the ball when there is no room to move, defence waiting in numbers.

The US has TACO. We have RACO. HA HA But IMO he is doing a difficult job well in recruiting, retaining and with cap restraints, player identification and future planning. Crystal ball stuff trying to get it right every time.

He is a problem! How many times does he have to show you? Maybe Benji picking him is the problem?

This restricted minutes sounds like a lot of BS to me. When you get the ball you run at full pace if there's a gap, right? Or make a try saving tackle. That can be after 5 min. or 70 min. Does that mean Benji says just run at 1/2 pace for 30min. then we rest you. I just don't understand the...

I can't stand his voice for starters.

IMO----------- TDS at 83kg is still undersize, not strong enough, to last 80 min. at NRL level. So do we put Api on the bench? Wage cut for Api? Heaven forbid; Mason in there while he still has his L plates on.

Stroking the TDS ego..............$600k PA? Ad that to Api's...., maybe $700k? This makes our hooker position over $1.3 mil. Any other hookers and back-up over the $1.3 million mark? Get cracking stats. boys; or tell me it makes sense.

Would not include Hunt or Mason anywhere in the 17.

IF Haywood is the heir apparent he should be taking lessons from Api NOW! Development they call it. Replays of Api's slight of hand in the red zone etc. One on one talks with Api. What are the signs of defensive flaws emerging.

Good to see some logic on display. A step back to see the bigger picture. A reality check. Is TDS worth $600k? Can he play 80min. A gamble; and decision time.

The bit that pisses me off is they put him on the bench.............and don't use him............. at the detriment of Wests Tigers moving away from the Spoon. A pour 3 man bench . Well done Tigers! Isn't winning a game and the "Team First " the aim? That is culture building.

Might be a better hooker than fullback or 5/8?

As Bennet says;--------------"You can lose any player, as long as the new player is an upgrade" Twal, Seyfarth TDS. Doueihi. etc. WT signed - Cruz Tauaifaiga – for 2 yrs. 2026 – 2027 ….. U 18’s, 2nd row from QLD WT signed - Peter Taateo – Canberra prop. 183cm, 108 kg, 14/6/2002 [23 in June...
