CEO - Shane Richardson

Not sure Harvey, can't remember him coming back on after being taken off so I'm wondering if he took the pitch injured because we are low on forward stocke atm. 🤷

I noticed the same, but put it down to him being lazy, fat and slow & a massive defensive liability considering the amount of time we were forced to defend with 12 men
 
Adel Hage says that Richo is the highest paid CEO in the game ..over a million a year …

He probably has got the toughest job in the league …but it would be good if he got most of the money AFTER the club turned around …

Klemmer would be pretty handy right now. And dare I say Bateman as well.

In hindsight you have a point but will reserve judgement to see if any better replacements are ever announced, if new recruits were like food we would be skin and bones by now.

Plus weren't they both managed by Moses, don't we need to remove his claws from our club.

You can’t completely wipe all of his clients. The club has to work out an alternative on how to sign/re-sign his players, the same way Politis has.

Generally sacked coaches are replaced by sacked coaches - who then attempt to rebuild the squads that have failed - like they failed to do before but are somehow expected to be able to do that better elsewhere.
The most consistently successful clubs keep their coaches and turn over their players with systems that recruit retain and manage their rosters effectively.

Yeah agree T if we were to remove Benji now it would probably end up another rinse and repeat 5-year plan that had no guarantee of success.

Let's face it the roster still needs some better recruits and until we get that we shouldn't be too harsh on Benji, give him a stronger roster and then judge his coaching skills.

Look at what's unfolding now at the Broncs one of the strongest rosters in the comp but their impatience through constantly churning through coaches is getting them nowhere, thought myself that madge was a poor choice, should have stuck with Kevvy, he got them to a grand final.

In our case G I think we have to, he's F us over too many times if the club isn't working on a strategy with Bula than we should be very disappointed.

They took up Sukkar's option, so they have tolerated him there.
Think the rest of his clients are juniors not proven at 1st grade yet, so we have time to let things unfold and decide what needs to be done.

Some sort of insider is he? His name is popping up a lot the last few days

Previously a coach with the Wests Tigers women's teams, he now as an assistant coach in the QLD Cup. He still has connections at the club and follows it closely. Each Sunday, he appears as a guest on the Wests Tigers Life podcast, offering a more structured game analysis and insights from a coach’s perspective.
I enjoy the listen.

He was part of the coaching staff at WT up to last year I believe …on the women’s side … so I assume he still has some contacts inside the club…

Every week he is on the Wests Life podcast giving some insight on the latest game and opinions on other news … seems to have measured , reasonable takes unlike some others

Agree
Yes Benji is inexperienced but let’s look at 2 premiership winning coaches and see how their players are performing for them at the moment.
Dessy & Madge
Both with a lot better squad’s than the West Tigers.
2027 is the year Benji should be judged on because until then we don’t have a squad that matches all the other teams in the competition.
Benji will live or die by the results which will be dictated by the recruitment for 26 & 27.

2 more years after this one?
No way. That is a ridiculous amount of time.
 
Benji wont automatically have until the end of 2027…the results will need to improve accordingly along the way to provide more him more time …

If they get the spoon again this year … should he survive that?

I would suggest Dessy is gone in a matter of weeks and Madge might be as well by the end of this year if things continue as is
