The club has not farewelled / listed departing players formally anywhere as yet.

Get him on the tackling machines all preseason and if we do get Frizzell, put him under Frizzell's guidance

Gentle left WT 2011 as Asst Coach https://weststigersforum.com/threads/blessed-gentle-to-leave-as-a-better-coach.11369/

Most dont want the supposed rebrand to Magpies in NRL. Coaching & CEO issues are long standing concerns as far back as Mayer (?), Humphrey's, Sheens and the conga line of coaches after. I think part of the issue is a lack of strategy towards the future. So many issues on that front.

More often than not, yes unfortunately.

Oh how id like to think that. But, everything Benji gas done prior to this says no. Having said that I hope WT management have put the blow torch to his feet with as you say crunch time.

Realistically, these are squad fillers for depth. I reckon our 1-17 is pretty solid. Our fall back depth has shown a lack of experience/ quality/ resilience. Hopefully, if some of these older heads come on board it will help. I have doubts on some of them, but then again, they haven't even...

The cost of moving him on with minimum of fuss. Imagine the circus if he was with us next season with all the PNG stuff increasing. Parras problem now.

Thank God the season is over. Lots to work on in the pre-season and still of few hard decisions to be made. Go WT and enjoy the break everyone.

Y Yes, I think we still need to make some hard assessment of signed players- whether to keep or move on.

Have to agree and we'd need to be very cautious. Let's also face it, they're getting older, aches and pains increase and the rigour of a full season and training will start to make any person lessen effort and desire.

We are slowing getting towards positive ground- how much of a difference in $$$ would be there if Balmain didnt go belly up? I'd like to see WA debenture system gone and expand ops and $$$ with Campbelltown, especially with Leichhardt out of commission for a year or two (noting timetables almost...

Is not the basic issue, as pretty well shown last few weeks with someone else in halves, is that Doueihi just doesn't often enough pass the ball, whether at 7 or 6. Our backline actually started working somewhat when they were actually getting ball. I don't think Doueihi should have a place in...

Have to say the first half of 2027 season will be make or break for Benji- several key issues need improvement- assistant coaches, bench selection and usage, some player selections (both player and positions) at the least. On top of that, the usual recruitment and retention choices are / will be...

Thanks. Certainly didn't know that. Scotch eggs were a treat when I lived over there in late 80's. Stovies was my regular dinner. There was a small free weekly Australian news magazine that I would pick up on my way to work that had oz rugby league and union information for a minor dose of...

Sure is. Magnificent.

Ha!!!! Alas no, never seen in Sydney / Canberra. Spent 6 weeks in London and Europe over Dec- Jan. I was insufferable until I got scotch eggs from Sainsbury's. Needless to say I got my fill to last me until next visit in a year or so. Don't think I will visit in winter though next time.

Very bad look for Luai. Agree dump him now and try and get 1 x match pymt back from him as he obviously is not taking measures to try and pay next week- unless of course he has already been ruled out. Even then, bad look. Parra's prob now I suppose.

Have to say im not keen on it from the club and fan perspective however I suppose this is just a more extreme example of the TPA being independent of club and up to player and manager. Thats always been the mantra of the NRL and let's face it, clubs have been whacked for getting involved in...

Another of my youths music and theatre enjoyment gone. Our 1977 yr12 farewell we did a few Rocky Horror songs as a group. Great fun.
