Realistically we need another half, happy with Liddle and Simpkin at 9.

Faster wingers: one that would of scored from the intercept

More front row

Another second rower

I was disappointed in Talau’s speed

Someone in the live game thread said he ran like a Camel ? ?

Douehi faster?

Dunno mate ...
Tough question !

It’s a rarity to see any of our players in open space ?

I must admit I was surprised how slow Talau was in open space. I thought he was quicker.

...who picked him?

My biggest gripe with Madge, he is star struck with Benji, Benji is way past being an NRL half.
Two problems we have, one Benji wants to play again, two Madge seems happy to stroke Benji’s ego.
We are not making the 8 with Benji this year at 35, next at 36 is laughable, plus he is holding the club back.
Benji can say he will play next year as a back up, that is just lip service, he thinks he is a starting half, it will be a PR disaster on and off the field if he plays, we need the roster spot anyway.
If Benji really loves the club he retires, but Benji is all about Benji and he wants to play on

You mentioned Benji 9 times in your post ?....
Agreed though !

Spent all nite rushing out of the defensive line looking for an intercept...finally gets one..and is run down by several forwards.
No winger

One hump or two

See picture dopey ^^^^^
 
We pay Maybe Mbye the big dollars so put him in a key role 5/8. We seem to be stuck with Brooks and his woeful kicking game and he is on decent coin so he goes back to HB.
All I ask is Mbye does the kicking in attack.

We have got nothing else.

I am nearly at the stage where I am beginning to hate Benji, he surely must know he sucks, just do a Rowdy and sign off with some dignity

No idea why he’s in the team. He’s been dropped before drop him again and for the love of god don’t offer him a contract. Unfortunately Reynolds while being a little better defensively still sucks. If you combined all 3 of our halves you would MAYBE get one good half

With Reynolds in the team over Benji, at least we were competitive with the top teams. Lost to the Panthers by 7 in the last 5 mins of that game. But was also because we had Grant at dummy.

Benji seems to bring a different vibe & attitude to the squad, as if they don't need to work hard, but trust their talent to prevail. Unfortunately, that's not working, for a number of weeks now. And I can see it in their energy on the field.

People can bag Reynolds out as much as they want, but what he gives to the rest of the team can not be measured or valued in price.

I agree, I suggested this after Benji had a shocker against Newcastle

Some people will still say that he is a good cheap option for next year.I hate to think how bad he would be with another years deterioration

I blame Cammy Smith. Setting a bad example for Benji by playing good into his late 30s. Benji thinks he can do the same.

Problem is that Benchie wasn't playing good in his late 20s

There are plenty saying that, but that is what you call a false economy, looks good at first glance, but do your homework and find it is detrimental to business

I actually thought the same, but as much as I don’t like Cam, I respect his career.
Benji couldn’t hold a candle to Smith, in game management, form and self awareness.
Storm have told Smith they need a decision now, we should make the decision for Benji, as he is incapable of doing it himself

Geez our team is slow. Like any slower and we’d be going backwards.

Kinda feels like we’re doing that ....
 
Benji is my favourite West’s Tiger absolute legend. We need to give Jock Madden a crack our season is over now, let’s not hang on to false hope and give the kid 5 games to get some experience.
 
That moment Morris went by him...Benji barely tried to grab him. The constant misreads where he gets caught half way coming in...these things turn games.

Two to three tries a week are directly on his D errors. You can't win carrying that.

Should have gone two years ago with dignity. A shame.
