2026 - Tigers Pre-Season Video

I like it, don't get me wrong, and he certainly made an example out of guys like Miller and Faagutu even Da Silva when it was clear he wasnt committed.

Madge was pretty notoriously a hard arse, everyone talks about Ivans high standards. Just saying weve heard it before. Not against the doco really, just taking it with a grain of salt until it translates to consistent on field results.

I literally just had a conversation about this with a mate . Sometimes whether it’s fair or not C the person delivering the message can have as big of an influence as the message itself . You could be delivering the cure to cancer , but if they’ve tuned you out , or there’s elevator music going on when you talk , doesn’t matter what you say . I reckon that’s Madge biggest issue . Not originally , it definitely over time . Like a missus/ bloke who never stops complaining ; you just tune her/his frequency out .

I know

Tigers + Linkin Park Concert

Cant wait...

Who’s replacing Chester?
Saw them ar Soundwave years ago . Surprisingly the best band on the day. I very mistakenly always thought they were a manufactured rock band for commercial reasons on the back of nu-metal .Boy was I a wanker ! They were amazing .

Can think of a few of these over the years:
"Wests Tigers are always in the fkn fight" - Madge
"Youre either on the bus or off" - Ivan

The broader point Benji is making around the time for talk being over is right, but I do think ive seen this movie before...

Its nice content, and I get why they do it, but ultimately its meaningless if results dont follow

There’s been a few high profile examples of Benji following through, since Richo joined the fray. Hope SM backs him too.
