It's time to take the fight back to HBG

Do you expect the issues with coach to be fixed should Benji go though? Whoever our next coach is will ultimately fail as well. He’ll most likely have a weakened roster than what Benji currently has as players will walk like every time we’ve changed coaches and the club won’t recruit anyone good to take their place so ultimately the criticism Benji is copping now and every coach before him copped at some point, will happen again with the next coach and you’ll be calling for his head within 2-3 years.

WT HCs get zero support. They are absolutely set up to fail and have to leave to find any sort of success. I’m not sure anyone would want the job

We say that, but Cleary came in & signed a bunch of guys that had him humming along before he jumped ship. Benji comes in & signs a bunch of guys etc.

Signing players isn't the problem.

The club needs to hold it's nerve.

Signing players has been a problem considering majority of Ivan’s signings no other club wanted and overpaid for in that matter. Madge struggled for a long time until we managed to get Api and Ice (until he tried to get out before coming), Bateman and Klemmer were dud Sheens signings and to Benji’s credit he got players that other clubs would want, but they’ve struggled to play at their best consistently. And should Benji move on whoever’s our next coach is going to struggle big time. I hope that if the position becomes available, no one applies so they get spared the curse that we are.
 
6 10 6 0 ... These are our scores over the past 4 weeks. Pop Quiz:
1. Name the 3 players & their positions, who scored the tries? (Hint: no one last weekend)
2. When was the last time we scored a backline try?
3. Why do we bother having wingers and centres or a fullback for that matter?

All of the 4 losses were due to the opposition running harder than us before sending it wide into and thru our miserable edge defence.

We are so lucky that Hudson Young is missing this next round.

But I have a sense of hope. A positive vibe, if you will. If HBG (the topic of this Thread) can strap on the boots this weekend, they may be able to show us how it's done! Turn up ya radio folks - it's because I love youse ... yeah!~ or maybe it makes not a zot of difference who is on the Board cos maybe it's the "way we want to play" which I am finding an unconvincing remark from Benji far too often. Einstein said the sign of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Benji should be on notice. It's because I love the Club! 🐯 🐯 🐯 🍻

Chad agree about holding nerve, But if we can't get basic rights who is to blame??

If we have a crack and go down fighting so be it, after Saturday night we lost that game before it started.
 
The coach works for the "club" - it's the club that continues to not get results - no matter who the players are or the coaches - many who go to other clubs and get results.
You can understand why successful teams with quality players and proven systems sack coaches who don't perform
In this jumper no one has played finals footy let alone achieve success for 15 years on the back of instability and poor management. They either don't give a stuff or it's not priority - or they don't know how to build a successful team. And there is not one bit of evidence to suggest otherwise

they extended "the way we want to play" for 5 years - does that make a zot of difference?

You can bag the coach, but there's only one way he gets employed.

Really, it just coincidence that all his assistants and large chunk of the football department are his 05 teammates.

It's statistically impossible that each one of the won their jobs on merit.....

You have to wonder how in demand coaching jobs at WT would be, lot of blokes careers get wound up there.

There would be plenty, there are so few sporting clubs at an elite level in this country.

There would be people queuing up for a crack. Our problem is we either can't identify, we select the wrong people or we are not patient enough.

We had Tod Payten, Andrew Webster and Ben Gairdner in our coaching ranks who all left through lack of opportunity.

That's just a few off the top of my head ......

I think a lot of the best coaches follow the well walked path. Get a job at an elite club and stay until a favourable one opens up. E.g Fitzy, Ryles.
