Sione Mata'utia is the backrower we need. Would not cost alot of money either, works hard on and off the ball and can cover edge and center.

We can all talk about the pack needing strengthening but my main issue is how we compete. It is the little things that wins games. Strong kick chase, dominate the tackle and slow the ruck, work harder on the inside in defense, make smart decisions in defense especially outside backs, run...

I saw that - Muggo is a great coach and I am surprised no one has picked him up over the years since he was back from Ireland and Japan. He firsts coached under Peter Louis at North Sydney Bears before moving into rugby coaching. Top bloke.

Jim Dymock or Steve Georgallis as assistant coach. Both are very good coaches in their own right and would provide a very much rounded and experience sounding board for Benji. Not sure Dean Pay and Benji would gel together as a coaching team.

100% keep Faagutu. Broncos do not need another player. They have the whole state under lock and key.

Tony Grimaldi (Strength & Conditioning) Stephen Kearney / Jim Dymock Both would be excellent additions to the coaching staff. Experience, hard headed - almost the 2nd coming of Steve Folkes

Someone, anyone should have - we only have ourselves to blame for that debacle.

I thought he did what he was meant do and he did it well. I had my doubts as he was terrible in the UK for Leeds and Huddersfield. I would have been happy for him to stay for an extra year as backup but think Latu F will be pretty handy backup half.

Sione Matautia would be a great buy. He has been playing good football for the St Helens over the past few years covering both backrow and centre. Much better depth coverage or even starting backrow - runs hard, good defense and has been part of a winning set up at St Helens. No brainer for me.

Agree with everything you have said in the above mate. I would take Saifiti in a heart beat - him/Hunt and Klemmer in rotation is decent and improves the go forward. Hetherington and Williams are the 2 guys you get to add toughness, big game minutes and a culture of hard work and grit...

Horsburgh is the second coming of Nick Graham - no thanks - spend the money elsewhere.

I was going to say do we have fitness standards at the club because if we do please sack this coaching staff asap. We are the least fittest team in the comp.

That is shame so looks like we are stuck with an overpriced dud in Sullivan unless he can pull his finger out and start playing like he should. Pretty sure this was a Marshall signing so not great from that POV. $500k per season in reserve grade.

Would rather we go after Jim Dymock to be fair.

I thought the the bulldogs had the worst board members but ours take the cake. Some of the most inept people to ever grace a football club. Is John Dorahy still on the board??

I am a Balmain junior and played in the junior reps up to Jersey Flegg/Presidents Cup and while I will always be Balmain, I am in this day and age Wests Tigers through and through. I totally agree with this concept at least with Reserve grade and Jersey Flegg. Anything below those grades that...

Have said this for years - we have not had anything since Steve Folkes was here and those 2 years we played our best football. We were tough and defended with a venom. This is what we need to go back to just not sure we have the mindset to make these changes so they are ingrained in our DNA.

That is the million dollar question. I would love to know what they did in pre-season. You cannot call this organisation professional in any sense. Worst still is who are you going to promote? NSW cup squad is a shocker and by all accounts play worst football than the 1st team.

I would love Benji to just blow up and call out his players for showing no heart or desire. However, this coaching staff needs major shaking up.

Embarrassing and the poor miss from Bateman. Lobb had no idea what to do.
