I feel like I checked out years ago. Haven’t missed much.
Wests Tigers haven’t been a joint venture or merger for 15 years. Wests Tigers is a wholly owned and managed subsidiary of the Western Suburbs Magpies.
I’ve been saying since that fateful day back in 2022 that anyone who seriously thinks this club will succeed with Benji as coach is a dangerous moron. I’ve had many fights over the years with sycophantic clowns who have argued that Benji has the players ears, he has their respect, they signed for him, they play for him….blah blah blah. It’s all BS and I have been proven correct time after time after time.
There’s no way he is.
I feel like some of us deserve an apology for the amount of times we have been shat on in the last couple off seasons cos we had the audacity to be honest and predict nothing was going to change. The amount of vitriol for saying something totally reasonable was way over the top. If the shoe was on the other foot, I feel like I’d have to man up and say I was wrong.
It really is , especially when you consider that the supporter base of the club is a fantastic and loyal supporter base and can still pull good crowds in spite of everything that has happened over the years.
Whose sock account is this? “Interested observer”….get out of here with this tired dribble that we’ve been discussing for over a decade.
Well, Balmain has no money or power, so that will never happen.
Yes, the Wests Magpies board do not get their positions on merit and like most I wish the debenture system was changed.
#4- and do what???? What do people want with this? If the NRL take back the licence, it presumably would be issued to a new team outside Sydney and will not be Tigers or Magpies for that matter. If people are that bloody minded and want #3, great we can have Tigers and Magpies playing in the KOE with no NRL, I don't mind that but where does Tigers get the $$$? They're already skint and Magpies have already helped them when they didn't have to after Elias and co shafted you. I would love #2 to happen and the NRL force Wests Ashfield and HBG to cease the debebture system forthwith. It's a cancer on our governance and operating system. #1 any sale would be very dependent on buyer wishes as to location and branding. I don't think any buyer would be wedded to Tigers brand, Leichhardt or Campbelltown i think there would be interest in Central Coast, Adelaide, NZ etc.
Just pay him out or offer another ,away from coaching. We just cannot keep doing the same things and expecting a different result. That is insanity and we as supporters cannot afford another season like the last 5 seasons. Callan park is closed, but may need to reopen for WT supporters. 15 years of torture. We can't afford any more.
Spot on TTT. He thinks he is a baller player and lurks in the backline, especially in the red zone. I blame the week captains not telling him top piss off out of there. Obviously Benji has done nothing about it, showing his clueless ideas of attacking structure. May should just be running hard and straight as first receiver close to the line ( alla Pole yesterday). It's a simple game for simple people.
He could'nt coach the under 9's in Balmaim comp. No idea.
As soon as these so called players tied to Benji got long contract upgrades, they have downed tools as futures have been secured with no consequences for their form post extensions. They don't give a f..k about Benji otherwise would not be putting in these pathetic efforts.
