Our own fans’ perennial unrealistic expectation bias is hardly a consensus – it’s more of a closed-loop hallucination.

What consensus? (Btw not defending Elias 🤮)

Agree. Ability is massive - but for whatever reason is deprioritised as the key element determining selection. Fitness can be raised. Look, there are lots of fit people. It doesn't make them all capable of doing the job. All trees are green. But not all green things are trees.

Ah yes, the salary cap. Let’s not even get started on that great equaliser which repeatedly proves how perfectly footy and socialism work together.

So, we are a rabble of a squad, out of form and are about to play the second best side. And if we get done the writing is on the wall for the coach? Seriously what world do people here live in thinking we are even close to these teams? Have you watched our games? Watched anything in the last...

No way this roster is better than Ivan's or Madge's. Let alone light years above in talent. Remember Ivan had Teddy and Moses. Madge had Marshall and Farah. Both of those coaches played the most frustrating, losing football I have ever seen. Which is not too different from Benji. At least...

I want Benji to succeed, truly. He bleeds for the club. He’s green, he’s learning, and I want him to grow with us. I want the fairytale. I know I’m not alone in that. I also want him to have a proper roster so he gets a fair shot and can be judged fairly. But right now, he doesn’t have that...

A dozen? By my count it’s 6 or 7. Luai, Api, Terrel, Turuva. You could arguably count Bula, Pole and Sam Fainu. The rest haven’t proven at all that they should be anywhere but reserve grade.

And that’s a stretch. Practically 10 of our first 17 would be in most team’s reserve grade! We will only ever be a top 8 team with a top 8 roster. Maybe hooker, one front rower, one winger and one half are covered. That’s all. We should be looking to upgrade everywhere else.

Problem is we don’t have anyone in our ranks. Need a bucketload of recruitment.

Yes the rest of the team are bog average. But Luai hasn’t contributed anything individually at WT to warrant any praise.

The coaching is not visible at all. But Jack Gibson himself wouldn’t be able to magically make most of these players first graders.

“come back”?

You’re joking. He is our best player. By a country mile.

Agreed.

I was so excited when we signed this guy. He is the biggest star we ever signed and still think it was an unbelievable coup to get him. But with the first season nearly done, he has been entirely underwhelming. He isn’t a disaster, but because of the hype and the price tag, unless form...

Badly.

How did the bunker confirm the second try when the play the ball was rolled? I rarely blame refs but this is some bullsh!t

Skelton having a shocker.

Latu 😠
