2027 half back and five eigth

[GNR4LIFE]

Hmmm I'm thinking the fact the club has NOT announced either new signings or departing players, much is playing out behind the scenes and yet to be announced. Would not be suprised if AD is in the mix

It’s only two and a half weeks till November 1 and they have to start paying him for the new season. So they’d wanna hurry up.

there's no way Javon Andrews doesn't play first grade this season, at 6. And preferably from round one. I also anticipate that will see a dramatic improvement in attack from our second rowers, centres and wings. The guy can play with precision and timing and likely also help Bula go to a new level. Guys like Makasini should finally see some ball with room to move instead of being used as battering rams.

People don't honestly believe that clubs back the coach over the players when your camped at the bottom of the table?
The Douehi situation would have come down to more than just Benji setting standards. The club was in damage control and needed to find a bandaid solution to stop further damage. It went way beyond just Benji making a decision.

After hearing Terrell on his podcast admit to locking himself away for a couple of weeks and how he let Benji down, it may have fed into AD's frustration with the club not upholding standards. While there is no place for it, there has to be something more to AD's walkout.

Let’s hope the lads this year have shaken those behaviours out of their system and hit it up hard. We can't win a premiership if our leaders are not leading.

If it led to AD’s frustration what was his excuse for refusing Noddy’s request to play out of the halves. AD just does what’s best for AD.
I liked AD as a versatile player, but never as a half
Sadly AD has not excelled at any position he has been given and has turned his back on two coaches. There has to be consequences, but I doubt there will be and there lies the Tigers problem.

Benji and standards in the same sentence..me thinks not!!! When Adam refused to play, then gets picked at 7 the following week, thats the moment when Benji had no standards in my opinion, weak as water!!!!

What we don't know is what AD and his manager had up their sleeve. Did Benji fold or was he forced to fold?

Next year slim pickings

Adam Douihie - not a half back, ok five eight
Jock Madden - fringe player has moments but not consistent
Latu Fainu - showed glimpses of talent
Javon Andrews - not a first grader yet

Anyone else? Maybe Benji can make a come back

Schuster will be our smokey depth cover, for Lock, 5/8 & centre.
