I TOLD YOU SO!!!!

I don't normally throw things in people's faces but I have been complaining about Benji, Humphreys and other players like Lawrence, Ayshford, Moltzen, Tuqiri for some time but at all different times.

That said, it's always been Benji and Humphreys that have copped it most from me, both here, in public with friends and colleagues and even sports today a few times.

Years ago, My login details used to be Black and Gold but I forgot my password and couldn't get into my email back then so I started a new one, Black & Gold.

A lot of my threads have been critical of Benji for years now. Even back from about 2007\. He was always a highlight reel player who produced so many mistakes. Most of you were even complaining to me when I was again highly critical of Benji when he got his 'broken nail' injury. Apparently, while he was out it proved that we're nothing in attack without him. LOL what are we in attack with him in the team?

Many of you were whining that he had the most try assists last season…. LOL again.... Remember my counter argument? Where does he sit in the most errors made list? Nobody answered!

Now, im thankful ad appreciative of most of you for realising that this guy is the worst thing for our club. Our young halves that come through will be wasted with Benji selfish attitude.

Can Any of you creative guys make a banner? 'Time to go, Benji' or 'Dont re-sign Benji'.... Make our voices heard! Call radio stations, write into the club! Make a difference!

Ok, now that said.... Humphreys needs to go too! I can't say everything I want to say because it breaks forum rules, I will respect the forum admins.

BUT, he re-signs sheens for 3 years when everyone wanted him gone and then sacks him a year later so we have to pay his wages?

Signs a new coach that promises he will pick players on form and then persists with the same line up as sheens?

Agrees to Sign Lawrence to a 5 year deal?

Pays 'overs' for a storm player? (Blair) You NEVER do that... Unless the big 3, every average player is a star there under their system, but come back to who they were when they leave.

Wants to sign Benji so early for INSANE money when he's been terrible for about 5 years now!

Resigned Tuqiri?

Anasta? Pat Richards at 31?

If you spend half of your salary cap on 3 or 4 players, don't expect to have a strong squad. What type of mismanagement is this?

So yes, I've been saying most of this stuff for years now.... Those of you YES MEN that argued blindly simply because you think that's what a true supporter does, I TOLD YOU SO! How's the tail feeling between your legs?

True supporters are those of us that get happy when we win, get sad when we lose, spend what they can afford to help the club and care enough to be critical when change is needed! A true supporter isn't blind support that is accepts constant defeat. That's a losers mentality! Demand success. Success will take time at the Tigers and it will be a long and arduous road... It begins with seeing the back of Benji and Hunphreys.
 
Anasta and Richards are both reportedly on bargain prices. Pat wants to come back to Oz and I doubt the Roosters wanted to keep Anasta so he was pretty desperate. Also, they add a wealth of experience without being a major liability considering the youth of our squad. Also, signing Lawrence for 5 years was only a bad option in HINDSIGHT. It'd be the same as signing Tedesco for 5 now, or Brooks.

Rest is true though

Great post!!!

Just one thing though; Potter is restricted in his selections by the salary cap. Anyone selected not in the top 25 costs us dearly and could result in a fine.

Potter needs to get rid of some players, and certainly NOT re-signing Marshall.
 
Just one thing you said " if you spend half your salary cap on 3 or 4 players, don't expect to have a strong squad" -isn't this what Melbourne do and it has been very successful for them.

As for the rest I agree Blair hasn't been a good signing , Benji is just out of form but has been one of the come best players every year for many years and is just having a rough start with no halfback and no props

True, but guy's like Smith, Cronk, Inglis ( even though he left ) and that grub Slater are generational player's, what i mean is in this generation of league they are the best running around, it was just awsome that Melbourne have them all in one side, that's pretty rare. So with their spine they could play a chimp and still be competative.

And Melbourne have a great coach with players knowing exactly what their roles are.
How can I be kind….We don't have a coach that is like the top coaches.
 
Hey guys, as probably you would have guessed, I am a Bulldogs man :wink:

I joined the for forum to just let you west tigers fans know that as even a non tigers fan I feel sorry for you guys how the most over rated player in the comp has been offered big money from your club.

Obviously I am talking about Benji who has done SFA since 2005\. I can only imagine how you guys watch him play (when he is not injured) with such arrogance that he is in the class of Lockyer, Thurston or Cronk, throw stupid passes into the crowd, kicks which he doesnt have a clue where they will end up and most of the time in the hands of opposition player and his frustrating mis tackles which some times he just stands as a pedestrian and doesnt even attempt to make one.

Sooner you guys get rid of him , it will be better for your club and might be for Benji too. You have some very strong junior talent you are better off spending money on them rather than this guy who is living on past glory.

Sorry I am not here trying to take the piss out of yous, I just wanted to share my ' frustration' on how crap Tigers have become over the years and Benji is part of the problem….and also it is not just my opinion but also a lot of other non Tigers fans believe the same.

http://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/showthread.php?t=100713

Good luck for 2013 and beyond.
 
Barba is killing it at the moment…..think I will post in the Kennel how crap he is,and how is a pisstank gambler womaniser who doesnt have his heart in the footy anymore.

You should relase him post haste.

Good luck this year.

Barba has an excuse what's Benji's
 
Benji is in shocking form at the moment. However I don't agree he's done "SFA" since 2005…

I'm not going to bother with the majority of the OP - the issues have been done to death. Plus this forum does a great job in revisionism...

Interesting line….."most here".....you speak on the behalf of most on here do you Ink??

That is a worry.....I thought it was just YOU that was,well....... :crazy ,but it seems that most on here,if they feel the same are :crazy too.

:laughing: :laughing:

anyone can have a look at the multitude of threads calling for benji and blair's heads and realise that most people on this forum dont want him re-signed, and many want him gone.

Sorry guys , i never meant to upset any one, just giving my opinion as a non tiger fan….

When I say Benji has done 'SFA' since 2005 i am comparing him with the likes of Cronks, Thurstons, Smiths, Andrew Johns and Lockyers of rugby league world.

I am sure you fans rate him as highly as the legends of the game i just mentioned and as far as Benji is concerned he thinks he is better than all of em. When you pay a player the salary which is in the top brakcet in the game since 2005 you expect far much better performance than what he has delivered in last 8 years.

I and other people wont bother if he was on an average salary, ...cos he he has been an average player in last 8 years whenever he is fit (that is another topic to discuss altogether).

and please dont compare him to Barba who definitely has issues but certainly is not eating the big chunk of salary cap as benji has been for last 8 years and has already over achieved at such young age.

May be you can compare benji to T-Rex for whom Bulldogs bent over backwords and threw money at him as it looks like at the moment with his performance, but even T-rex can be excused for being new to the club.... again dont be offended or upset... I am only trying to give an opinion as a person who doesnt really care what West Tigers do as long as they lose all the time to Doggies.

Don't apologize, its not your fault some on here can't handle a dose of reality from a non-supporter. If you didn't identify yourself as a Dogs fan than your post would have barely raised eyebrows, but because you did its all, ''how dare you, who do you think you are :rant ''

He's returning from serious personal issues, not to mention it was only last yr he was destroying sides on the field resulting in him winning the Dally M, whats Benji's excuse, his best mates had to move to another club? :bawling

Besides being cut over a non-supporters evaluation of our supposed superstar 5/8, your reply doesn't make a lick of sense
