WT should mirror South's and have a 'Hate book' or whatever they call it where slights against the club are noted and await payback. They could even make it a quasi initiation ceremony where new players into NRL squad sign on to the slights book and asked to do their but for payback if...

I was posted to Singapore when we won in 05. Managed to find a few people that supported league and somewhat Wests Tigers and we had a great time in a bar in Clarke Quay. Agree with the sentiment to celebrate where you can and enjoy it.

No, I read it as $800k over the 2 seasons. I recall he was originally asking for $400-450k per season.

Your point being? We have had a lot more nsw cup or whatever iteration it's up to now that haven't made the grade.

I cant see it either, just saying that if for any reason Leichhardt and Campbelltown are out then its there as an option, not ideal, then it would start a whole other argument in terms of relocation. There is no easy resolution to this. I kind of wish the NRL would force one on us. I wouldnt...

Dunno but I agree there is an opportunity there for someone. Maybe if WT loose leichhardt Oval for whatever reason and Campbelltown is not upgraded we could have Homebush / SFS and the Central Coast but it sort of begs the question of relocating to Central Coast,

The published strategy for Maguire and the club has agreed to it is to get a few established NRL quality players to provide experience and leadership to the youth policy squad. If we cant recruit it with Maguire there surely he has to go next season some time. No good saying there is nothing...

TBH I think it tells us we desperately need to get a sports psychologist to be able to get inside these players heads to be able to press the right buttons to have them not give up and keep trying when the scoreboard is not the best. The methods used by Maguire of yelling or silence doesnt work.

Anything is possible but having said that for any positive àdvancement in the table we need to make sure the basics work for us- catching ball, effective passing, good tactical kicking, positional and support play and defensive and attacking formations and tactics. If we can get that right, the...

Tyrone May is possible too.

Also a basic skills coach. WT players this year have shown a general absence of league basics.

I'd say with some degree of certainty there would have to be several WT players that will be taped on the shoulder immaterial of who the coach is- tanking performances, inability to improve over time, bad value eg Brooks, Nofo, Tamou, maybe Garner, decision made of Roberts, maybe Liddle, maybe...

Ive read somewhere- probably on this thread, that the Board has the report nut are undecided on what to do. Hopefully decision made early next week and we go from there. Surely the first question is do we go for another coach or stick with Maguire? Should be easy bit of the equation. Once...

Time is narrowing. Nrl teams are already declaring their departing players. Let's just keep dawdling along and miss out on potential signatures whilst WT do nothing. As usual it will be the bargain basement dregs we are left to choose from. Pull your fingers out WT you should know by now...

Dont disagree, but there are some big elephants in the china shop. Info suggests: * Maguire has difficulty communicating plans and tactics with the players, * Has a plan requiring the recruitment of a levy of experienced players to balance the younguns, yet he has been totally unable to recruit...

How do we know Maguire has accepted it as yet?

I dont wish ill on the bloke. It certainly didnt work as planned by WT and no doubt himself. If this is how he thinks he may keep going in a professional career of league good on him. Probably he and his brother have been having words as to what to do and options. In wont be here at WT, maybe...

Surely no more waiting. 9 seasons is enough, WT and Brooks have to find a different pathway. Yes, uncharted at this stage but we have to.

Definitely agree. More than a few players should be tapped on the shoulder. I'd like to think not giving full effort in professional manner was a KPI that you could rip up a contract, however, they should go too, even without that.

I dont want him, but if we are serious, it can only be if Tamou is going. They're too similar and we can only really fit 1 in the squad.
