Thank you guys for sharing.
Loved their take on the saga and the presser - how awestruck they were with Benji. Loved the raw reaction “I wanna be coached be Benji!”. 🤩
And completely agree with them that this is a watershed moment for the club.
I rate Robinson.
Anyway, I didn't think development was why they left.
Tedesco left for $, perks and the glitz (and to win premierships...)
Mitch left as he loved Parramatta and loathed WT
Woods left because he desperately wanted to ruin his career and be remembered as a douche.
Agree.
Benji's legacy here was already unmatched — and yet, somehow, he’s taken it to another level.
If we are to ever new get new stadiums, they should come with a Benji statue.
Benny Elias was an absolute disgrace. A shill of a human who I am actually ashamed is a club legend.
And Riccio? Please. Drama merchant and headline seeker first - integrity and balance is not this journalist's MO. If there’s a match he will light it, throw petrol on it then write a column...
You said that because Galvin is a top 17 player, he needs to be in first grade.
I’m not disputing that he has remarkable potential and moments of brilliance. Is he in our top 17 for raw talent? Undoubtedly — I agree with you there.
But is he in our top 17 when it comes to giving us the best...
I’m happy to share post-game thoughts, but whether we win or lose, it has no bearing on your original claim — that he's "without doubt" a top 17 player. That’s an isolated and absolute statement.
I don't think you have. You made 4 points:
1.Lachlan Galvin is contracted to the Wests Tigers until the end of 2026
This is not a valid reason that he needs to play. There are many players who lose form, get injured, suspended, have personal issues, or for whatever variety of reasons don't...
Yeah, but so often the halves have space and time and just put a lame ineffective long kick in. We should be seeing the spiral exploited so much more than it is.
Won’t his lingering injury impact his kicking game? Isn’t that the reason he wasn’t goal-kicking?
I’d love to see some more of those torpedoes!
And btw - can someone explain to me why the torpedo isn’t used waaay more often?
I mean, those big kicks that end up down the throat of the fb or...
I'll be signing up too.
Win or lose on Monday - Benji, Richo and management, Kudos to you.
It's pretty remarkable, that in dropping one of our star players, I cannot recall WT fans ever, collectively, being more proud with management. Brimming.
Fully.
We knew his departing was a death-knell to our future, which is also why it was so painful.
I never cheered the guy after that. Haven't even watched a Roosters match since (unless they played us).
But with Galvin leaving there isn't the same foreboding as when Teddy left. Sure he could...
We value his potential.
He is not close to a million dollar player right now.
If we were a premiership chance then maybe the situation would be different. But right now we have chance to build up other players instead of further investing in Galvin’s potential- which he may or may not only...
