Is The Club Respected?

Oh well, in that case. Definitely gonna concede 68.

inexperienced first grade players like Maka, Tavana, Skelton (older, however only played 30 games or so) , Geyer, Murray, hope. throw in the injuries to key players and than sprinkle that with a team that has only lost 1 game and beat the second placed team last week without their origin stars and it begins to hurt a little less. Still inexcusable, however somewhat explainable, once these inexperienced players lose momentum they will struggle to get it back.

Metric	Wests Tigers	Penrith Panthers	Difference
Average NRL games (per player)	57 games	97 games	Panthers +40 games per player (avg)

The lack of respect for the club from players and managers is the very reason we have to pay more to attract players, settle for players that are more risk than reward all barriers for building a squad and expansion is only going to make that more challenging.
Benji is the only thing that is holding this club together and if he fails there will be very little appeal to come to this club given its history and current governance.

And yet we are still getting thumped like years gone by.

Benji may bring out the best in our top 13 together but something is very wrong on the next line of players.

Benji can’t do it all but he is accountable to ensure the staff around him do perform, right now it’s clear to say they aren’t yet again.

Also, look who he has around him. No seasoned assistant coaches who have been in the game for years. Just his ex teammates.

I reckon most clubs except Cowboys and perhaps Sharks think they are a good change of beating the Tigers in any given round. Pretty worrysome.
