Agree 100%. Unfortunately for AD he tries too hard. Because Benji has persisted in playing him a couple of passes wide is possibly also creating more confusion for our outside backs than it does the oppositions? I would much prefer Madden in the roll. He squares up and gives his outside backs...

Dates?

How well do you recall “his second stint”? Was he ever really an autonomous head coach under the Marshall plan? If you saw him as that at any point in his “second stint” then give me dates? I remember Pascoe’s announcement which was a bit cloudy with no talk of his responsibilities or goals...

You should read your post mate. We are talking about WestsTigers most successful coach and you want to judge his WTs career on a handful of games where he had limited success. Sounds and smells like bias to me. Everyone knows the coaching job at WT throws up more challenges than it should and...

Are you suggesting that Tim Sheens can't coach? LOL you're a crack up Tom.

I think we were thrust into an evolutionary change when Tim Sheens was sacked the first time because the team was heading for 9th. A new species of dinosaur started ruling. We haven’t been able to reach the lofty heights of 9th since pre COVID19.

Is Benji doing any studying or has he done anything to improve his ability as a coach? Does he still believe in 9 to 5 coaching?

we’re a huge chance to beat the dogs. Our last 2 games were winnable. Our centres let us down both times. One is leaving for a new club and the other is still a teenager. (That was no time for the tap on pass). Good onya Benji for recognising we desperately need an experienced try scoring centre...

If we can somehow get 10 or more wins in 2026 the scoreboard shows a natural progression from 4 or 5 seasons ago when we collected 2 spoons. Under those circumstances it would be a big call for a board to say, “we’re improving each year but not fast enough to our liking.” I suppose now that the...

QLD players and explayers must at some point realise the futility of complaining about the ref and bunker. The same old losers lament, none of the 50/50s went their way like they were supposed to for the favourites at a home ground decider. One things for sure, Loza won’t be regretting getting...

Manase could be a handy 9? Looks like he could be released in October and start his rehabilitation program? Or maybe he gets a season in cup prior to any consideration to play nrl?

His fitness could be an issue? The reality point here though is what does Benji see him as? Is he the half? Sometimes I think Benji is too afraid to make the hard calls. The game has changed to favour the 7, they are well protected, and more so in teams with a no nonsense pack. This is their...

It’s slow alright lol. Andrew John’s was 18 when he debuted for knights and 19 when he had a tight grip on the 7 jersey there. Latu is 21. Age often gets confused with skill and experience.

That’s only left to right though. But you’re right, the really good halves are strong defensively and have all the skills that puts the opposition guessing and flat footed.

I suppose Benji is leading the players into accepting responsibility for on-field performances by continually saying after each game that “it’s my fault” but the reality is professionals already know this, don’t they? Would be great to see a better defensive effort in the final games of this...

Because Fulton’s agent offered the HBG board a package deal and you know how they relish hiring someone to do a job, then doing it themselves, just to prove they are every bit worth their $100.

Perhaps it produced Galvin regardless of his lack of attendance. I dont think they have any halves in the academy now, do they? And for the prop, he looks like he found the 33kg that Shuster lost.

How is the Bulldogs Halfback Academy progressing? Has it produced any talented 7s?

Can we contain Brown and Ponga? How many balls will Pole drop? Tigers by 14.

Sometimes you can be motivated to do things for others that you just can’t find the courage to do for yourself. Training once a week with those who are constant reminders..yeh I’m backing him to have some success.
