don’t really have a 2nd team. I do like watching Manly though, to check in on our ex players.

That puts another view on what’s happening, because that looks like a shortlist of players who threatened to quit if Benji got sacked. Either way, the buck stops squarely in the hands of the 20 Magpies, the steering committee driving us up another culdesac.

It may have been a ‘Is this what you want coach?’ when Doueihi fired one out to Skelton recently, missing him by a few meters 🤣

Yes, he was throwing passes into the grandstands.

I honestly can’t be too critical of Doueihi’s behaviour given the circumstances. The club has set a precedent with Marshall and Farah doing something similar which resulted in Sheens leaving. Another example was given by Noddy this week when he was coach involving Doueihi. I thought this was...

Pretty happy I’d say. He’s getting an opportunity that he’s worked hard for and without the usual fanfare.

Exactly!! I’ld be showing the door to Doueihi, Twal and Seyfarth, but having them all compete for the lock position is the next best thing. Why are they not supporting the coach and their teammates? And another thing! You can’t hear a mouse squeaking at headquarters.

We also have a lot of sin bins and send offs. Last game we had 2 halves sin binned.

He hasn’t been playing well since rnd 8 at LO when he scored 2 tries. We threw our last 3 games, which is so disappointing and very unprofessional.

There are supposedly 2 players loyal to Doueihi’s demand to be halfback, while the Benji camp are at least 7, those who threatened to leave if Benji was sacked. I don’t know what Sheensy is doing right now but I reckon he maybe having a little chuckle to himself.

Luai offered to play with the Magpies if it helps Benji’s roster decisions, but it wouldn’t be a good look having your highest paid player not selected for WT? There’s been a little sarcasm in Doueihi’s passes of late. (running toward the outside player and throwing the pill under 7s style). So...

How often do “the owners” meet to discuss recruitment decisions? Do they put such matters on the general monthly meeting?

We have historically been the most sin binned club, and I wonder if it’s due to players’ frustration at the way they view the club’s level of professionalism...

Agree. I would say that if the entire organisation hired skills and ability, we would be continually top 8. Give us a Meritocracy recruitment from the very top and the trust in each other that develops as a result would give us the esprit de corps to achieve any goal. It takes courage and a...

We need people like you mate, to become debenture holders. People who actually care about the mighty Wests Tigers.

The Latu tackle was slightly low but surely doesn’t deserve a 2 match ban. Usually a dangerous tackle has a more detailed definition such as chicken wing etc. So I’m going to give it a name. “The Deuce” The bowlers would know this term.

We’re all suffering @upthetigers. Just do the best you can. Flush it all and start a new day, shift focus, count your blessings, it helps me to appreciate the difference between what can and can’t be changed. And most importantly don’t expect too much from the debenture holders.

Agree 100% EllisFan. There would be plenty of work to do in that area of responsibility and if they haven’t got a HoF, then those tasks would be either ignored or farmed out to a single person or a handful of people with “other more important responsibilities.” Ones that have KPIs. Other clubs...

Following the very scrappy dismissal of Richo, which did nothing but remind us that the fat lady hasn’t sung. Our destiny is in the hands of 20 hot headed debenture holders. The HBG board must have given some serious thought to sacking Benji, if 7 players told them..”if he goes we go too” What...
