Hope you are right Fox.
The appointments of Scando and Buckets brings out the sceptic. I remember everyone doing backflips of excitement then as well….

When you are talking about our club you are wise to be sceptical.Far to often appointments have been made to appease certain factions.
If this appointment is on merit i will be satisfied,no more jobs for the boys

I'm happy with this as Brett was an all out never say die player who gave his all for us , he will rub this on to all his players under his coaching , sometimes this sort of thing can reap rewards , if he can get 1/4 of his team to put in like he did we are way in front compared to this year ,
Welcome home and grab your Bus Pass at the door , your one is marked in gold ,
 
Played with guts and heart Hodgo, welcome home Brett.
Good times ahead with this man around the place. Legend.
 
Great choice should show a highlights package of him to the team before each game to show what you can achieve when you have ago no matter how big you are.
 
When Ivan joined the club he stated that he wanted to completely change the coaching methodology from the NRL team right through to all junior team, as he noticed that there was deficiencies with coaching right through the organisation.
Appointing Brett is just the start of developing a style that Ivan wants to implement.

So true. The toughest player to pull on the Wests Tigers jersey even though he had to run around in the shower to get wet.
 
Always admired Hodgson's toughness and found him to be as big a champion off the field as well.
Sponsors loved the guy, I hope he makes a success of coaching.
 
One of my favourites and a really good guy. Understands the club and has served his apprenticeship in the ESL.
I think he will help Cleary set a real good culture at WT. Both very good personalities who are calm under pressure. Bit if a change from Taylor and Stringer.
 
Loved Hodgo as a player & can remember his farewell speech at Campbelltown after his last game with us - where he promised to come back here one day to be part of the coaching set up.
Now, if he just arrange to bring back some Pommy champions as part of his package….
