Kicks Wests bandwagon
Your choice to interpret that way
Im more interested in digging for information and shedding light on what I see is a rotten and deliberately secretive power structure
Who I am is of no bearing or consequence. Im just an average joe who does things and says things
I am sure that my IP address would be logged on this forum. It will trace itself back to an uniteresting part of Sydney and show that I have no other accounts

If benji really loves the club & there's still no improvement next season will he step down ? or should the club do what manly did to siebold early before 2027 is another write off season

Benji doesn't strike me as someone who gives up, as for getting the arse it wouldn't surprise me if some of our good players have Benji clauses written into their contracts, especially the Mays.
Would that be madness, look at management's track record.

The owners dont give the club any money, they aint going to part upwards of 3 million to Benji ...we are stuck with him for the long haul
It just compounds the sheer brilliance that HBG inflicted upon the WT football club and it's supporters with their knee jerk 4 year extension of the coach to try and keep harmony after they destroyed the independent board and CEO.
Complete wreckers and imbeciles who hold all the power in the club with zero accountability.I loath them collectively even if 1 or 2 are trying to turn the tide to no avail.

He mentioned in an interview last week that the events of last week were tough on hus family.
If we have a similar season next year, Benji is very much family first. If footy starts impacting his home life I can see him pulling the pin...

I think this might happen in the off season to limit the media hysteria with a replacement announced at the same time .
I was waiting for it, too. 🤦♀️
That's great for the dinosaurs that follow either team from last century. What about the rest of us who only follow Wests Tigers? The kids who see Skando, Hodgo, Benji, Fulton, Ellis as "tigers greats", not the ones with links to WSM and BT? There's a LOT of Wests Tigers fans who would probably walk away ...
But at least it would stop the sooking from both old teams.
I am sick to death of this stupid whinging and moaning about two teams that don't function in the NRL, all while destroying a current NRL team. It's beyond stupid!
Man! I need a coffee!!!
All in all, I'd rather your proposal than 27 more years of too much orange, we own you, Leichhardt is the magic potion, and Ben Elias and Blocker being called Wests Tigers *legends* 🙄🙄🙄
I'm so ready to walk away

Sadly as I have said before Benji is the last hope for this rabble. If the Benji experiment fails then the club must be folded asap, no other coach that is decent is going to come here FACT! No beginning coach would risk his career and reputation here FACT! If the experiment fails we lose a shedload of players yes some are not pulling their weight at the moment but the alternatives are far worse so we have no other option but to weigh in behind Benji and hope the club gets a set and provides him with decent help or the 15 year drought will become a famine if we are lucky to be around in another five years time. The NRL won't tolerate losers of this calibre too much longer when expansion is the key FACT!
All of your FACTS are opinions.
I'm not necessarily advocating for sack Benji. I think only those inside the club would know if that is the right option. But will players leave if he goes? Can we get anyone else worthwhile? We don't know. I personally don't think any players would walk out if Benji left. And if they did, so what? We've seen players leave under his watch as well. I think it would be hard to attract a coach given our record but if they are given a healthy cap to work with and believe they can attract players, then they may well back themselves.
The NRL has tolerated our club being losers for over a decade. Why would that suddenly change now?
Stay strong Suzie,to use an old political quote "Don't let the bastards grind you down".The vast majority of us old dinosaurs agree with you from both clubs that WT is the ONLY realistic way forward.People who believe either Balmain or Magpies is the answer are deluding themselves.
Have another good coffee because the world always feels a better place after you give your thought processes a heathy start (hehe).

Given the way the team has performed and the huge contracts some of these guys are on, it would be a blessing if the players walked if Benji was sacked.

Insanity. It would make it a 3 way venture. What could go wrong.
Just give the lisence to a private owner and move on under the Wests Tigers brand across all senior grades.
The last thing we need is more complexity.

You are dreaming if you think a whole lot of players won't leave if Benji goes, the NRL are only tolerating the Tigers once the Benji experiment fails they can wash their hands of the whole disaster and say we tried but it didn't work. There are a lot better options that will come available for expansion, I hope I am wrong but as I said if nothing has changed by 2030 watch this space for the venture to be terminated.
Who would you want to see walk? I think Bula is on stupid overs. Luai also but he is already on his way out. There's a few others I'd like out of the joint but none others I think on massive overs (I think Averillo will prove to be also but don't want to write him off before he gets here).
A couple others are to much for what they have given but probably accurate for their talent level (Latu, Makasini) though I think we've stuffed them more than they've stuffed us.

There will be some in the NRL that will be hoping that happens and the club blows itself up so then including a new side is a hell of a lot easier. The NRL I imagine now most definitely has a timeframe on the Tigers and that is ticking away, they can't keep carrying a useless product when another NZ, Qld team would provide so much more.
