OFFICIAL Harold Matthews Cup

West Politics at its very best.

@Bellend I know you are much more on the pulse than I am on these type of subjects, but wasn’t it just as simple as a disagreement over the playing ability ex players sons which I think still might be happening to a certain extent ?

Reminds me of when Leo Clarke went from Wests SG Ball coaching staff across to Penrith.
Before anyone could blink - Zak had signed with Penrith & Melbourne had nabbed Cooper.

Problem has been a in clique and if you are not your future is not long term. I know Benji is trying to change, but still the same in other areas of the club.

Wests Ms are such a frustrating side.
They have zero finesse.
It’s either a forward one off the ruck, followed by another forward one off the ruck, then a side to side shift with no decoys, no deception until it finally gets to the opposite side where someone gets buried (invariably dropping the ball given how much pressure he’s under).
The other play is - throw it to Isdale to see if he can dance his way through (which thankfully he occasionally does)
Uggghhh ... 🥴

They're a very poorly coached side. As are all Wests sides. It's not good enough. The spine just aren't good enough to compete at any level either. Poor coaching and poor halves is a guaranteed recipe for failure.

Please, Mears was big average. Wasn’t he in charge of state cup the last few years??
How did they go??

What?
State cup side was garbage - Mears never coached them.
Mears was coaching Matts, and they won the comp.
Now he’s left his local area (and a club he played for) and been recruited by the best pathways system the game has seen in 100 years.

Seems he might have been worth keeping around to me…
Maybe they should have put him in charge of ressies?
