Feel pretty much the same way. Lately our signings look like they bolster the Magpies more than the NRL team. Who exactly is doing these deals?

The word "Wests" needs to be dropped off the name. It's an absolute marketing disaster; no other team has a compass point attached to their name. It's a negative word, that's where the sun drops at the end of the day. A continual reminder of reinforced negativity in many ways other than a...

It sounds like such an effort to go to work each day with all that crap distracting from individual's goals. If and when key people leave, we don't hear much criticism about the poor culture because they sign NDAs. Must cost the club heaps? Following the Doueihi business, the WT's CEO had a...

It’s hard to get a decent half without having a solid forward pack.

Somehow Benji needs to get this team up for the last 4 games. They need to show some ticker. The ones I can’t criticise are Api, Luai, Samuela and Pole. Sure Doueihi’s having a crack, but he’s playing for himself. What other half in the NRL handles the ball 65 times, but passes only 39? The...

I couldn’t watch the game live due to nbn faults. However, when I looked at the team stats they Definately didn’t tell the same story as the scoreboard.

That was once Twalys job.

Clauses in Benji’s favour.

There’s no way Benji will get the flick. I think Benji’s contract is stacked with clauses and legalese forcing HBG to fork out what is probably a record severance payout in NRL history? Something around $3m plus. Anyway, HBG have shown in the past that they want novices in jobs, so why payout...

We obviously couldn’t book LO for API’s 250th game.

We should still be able to find it under a new name. It’s the place that had the hair salon and where Benji’s Grand Final win with the Dragons was immortalised on the vestibule wall.

While wondering around Tasmania a few years ago, I stumbled upon a small park in the middle a town. In the centre of the park was a stone monument commemorating and honouring the efforts of the work done by a local man who attended to the garden for 45 years.

I dont recall the whole speech but the part I do.. If a man be called to be a street sweeper then let him sweep those streets like Michaelangelo painted or Beathoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He swept those streets so well that everyone would stop and say " this man was a...

Reminds me of the Martin Luther King Street Sweeper philosophy.

Sheens noticed they couldn’t catch a ball that was in flight and had them doing the 200 catch n pass. I mean those basic fundamentals are essential you would think? There is a possibility that the whole joint is on edge, walking on eggshells emanating from the very top and therefore a shouting...

Yeh, I’m just saying, Benji continually says after a loss “that’s on me” or similar when he should not be singling himself out because it’s a team game wether players are sitting on the bench or coaches are on the sideline. Surely the players have input in the post game recap.

OK, we don’t have 30 NRL players and priced according to their true value, but it’s still a team sport. The entire organisation is riddled with people ill qualified for their jobs, so it follows that our top 30 is mirrored in that regard. But what sets the players apart is their job, they are...

What were we doing while other teams were developing their game? One thing Benji needs to stop doing is taking responsibility for every loss. The players are listening and will believe that stuff. Then what follows is a loss of confidence in the coach.

It was working at the start of the season. After round 8 we had 5 wins with the only 2 losses being by margins of 1 and 4 points. Is it possible that the door pointing speech worked only for a short time? I know we had injuries and our depth is short on, but we collapsed. It’s often said that...

since the opening of the $70m Centre of Excellence we’ve collected 2 spoons, a 13th and this season we’re 2nd last and can’t win against the bottom team. I think it’s fair to say that the excellence is going to take a while.
