I think Ponissi, Fletcher and probably Gould take that longer term approach and given Richo's backgroud and his statements regarding "the plan" we are early doors in a five year plan - that is what I have based my thinking on. Only time will tell.

I just responded to @poopy_diaper in the Wests Tigers Faithful here in relation to our system and where we sit in the development phase. I think we need to develop a system of systems to drag ourselves out of the mud. The playing roster is just one part of that system - given the way you analyse...

I think the results speak for themselves and the cost benefit analysis provides a clear answer. I looked at this in the deep dive I did on the spine the other day. You hit the nail on the head in realtion to the quality of the player not changing but the quality of the system. I'm not hard over...

I I understand where you are coming from - but if he is simply moving the halves one wider to give them time and space to play he is being wasted and we will get carved up because we will have even less go forward that we did last week. The defence will simply slide off him to provide inside...

I agree that he is between a rock and a hard place - and I'm certainly not one expecting miracles with what we have to play with (in and off the park). My expectation for this season was around 12 - so climbing the first rung of the laddder to eventual success. The issue for me is that HBG...

That would haved been my preference too - but not our clipboard so we live in hope!

My concern with AD starting at 13 is if he will do the hard carries required in the first 20 to set the platform. Given he is showing his wares for a contract let's hope that he does.

It could be, need to find an insider with knoweldge. I'm not sure to what end though except to fund his own staff as he is underfunded by HBG. Possibly trying to prove a point - cold be a KPI that has been issued by HBG linked to future funding. My personal view is that Richo and WT should be...

I posted this in the Chammas Article thread the other day in response to BZN. HBG is a not for profit. From the constitution: The income and property of the Club howsoever derived shall be applied solely towards the promotion of the objectives of the Club as set forth in this Constitution and...

BZN you are so far off the mark you are shooting at the wrong target. When I was referring to beer tokens I was using a slang term for dollars - as in what you spend it on - not what is was procured from. My response to Tom was simply that, in my view problem Gambling is a bigger social issue...

So the million $ question is why we didn't adapt - is it the coaching or are out on field decsion makers poor.

Exactly, this isn't something you pull out of your bum on the fly. It needs to be rehearsed and in the back pocket as a contingency. I would be ahppy to turn over posession on the fourth every now and then if it meant we had the pace to execute our game plan. It is all risk and reward. I get...

Melbourne showed the way to overcome our width and we have been plagued with it since perhaps. We simply aren't adapting well enough.

What does that matter - the constituation is pretty clear on what the objectives are. It doesn't matter who provided what as the foundation. The HBG developed a constitution to deliver the objective I posted before. One is the provide clubs for the benefits of members and the other sis to...

the $9 million dollars in profit

I don't think our plan was to play like that. I expect that we looked one out and up the middle because we couldn't find a way to shift it when we wanted to. We failed to exploit the weaknesses that presented because we tried to execute our game plan. Game plans are great until there is another...

Yes, but how did that happen? They identified our strengths and nullified them They were able to do that because we let them - we didn't identify the vulnerabilities of their play and exploit them. If we had - we would have been in the mix.

you are spot on, the key to any 40/20 or early tackle set is to find the grass and have a great chase. If the 40/20 comes off it is a bonus, if it doesn't and they are starting their sets deep that as great outcome as well. If we are gassed and under fatigue from momentum we can also kick for...

BZN, have a look at what the constituition outlines as the objectives. Magpies/Balmain don't get a mention. Neither does Wests Tigers for that matter but it is implied that the profits are reinvested in the clubs and Footy in the region. The income doesnt come from Balmain or Wests Magpies - it...
