NRL 360

[innsaneink]

At least 360 keep on about WTs even if it is all negative
Most media don't wanna know us... Who can blame them
The truth sometimes isn't easy or nice to hear.

I'm Starting to think. Like most in that handing Benji the tougest job in the game, turning around the mess that is WTs was always a going to be too much of an ask.
I thought that maybe benji heigh o J=mo and Farah might go some way to really improving the culture... But it doesn't appear so even at this early stage... Several players obviously not buying into the coaches plans (understandably so)

Credit to Bwaith where it is due, which is not all that often, but I think he is pretty good mates with Benji and he does go in to bat for him when things get nasty, so these days I think that sometimes he does lay off the Tigers a little.

Like the way Braith and Gordon were supportive of the tigers
They don't like the way Galvin and or his managers are treating WT
And neither do I

 

[Stevec]

PLEASE KEEP WILLIE MASON ON 360!

So refreshing watching Anasta, Tallis & Mason actually discuss issues like footballers instead of listening to the journos gossip like the nerds at school.

Yes Willie sounded so logical calm and collected

Tallis has become all too well aware how difficult it is for lower clubs to get off the bottom of the ladder when competing for and retaining talent now he is at the Titans. Was very vocal about it when he thought they had lost Fifita to the Roosters. It's about time that commentary considered the vast difference between the haves and have nots and how the system does very little to ensure a level playing field.

I only listen to one footy podcast…Levels with Mason and Justin Horo.
Straight shooters who have a laugh and give us a peak behind the curtain because they’ve actually been there.
Willie’s commentary on the Nate Miles run in with Suaali’i in Origin the other day was funny.

 

[Stevec]

One thing that concerns me is how we know so much about internal goings on !
Like Richo shopping Sullivan to ESL ?Also inside things about Galvin ( although I blame the kid for that.)
Richo and Benji recruit recruit and release and let us find out pleasant news once its happened ! It just seems like the same old Wests Tigers with all our problems being public domain .

Yeah, levels is solid. Mason really surprised me. He's a good commentator.

How do suggest we stop Sullivans manager (or brother or father or next door neighbour) from leaking to the press ?

Level playing field insofar as it relates to the cap and recruitment of players within existing guidelines. Then you have the Galvin issue with one of the best young talents under contract yet it appears he is still not the WTs' player according to some.

Thank you!

Anasta cops grief on here but I genuinely think he tries to be as fair as he can with the Tigers.

Unlike the other mumblers, I believe Anasta ACTUALLY does have inside knowledge worth knowing.

I LOVED when Buzz and Read said that there was no indication other clubs had made advances & Anasta & Tallis ripped them to shreds over the "if I'm his manager, I'm not asking for a release without another contract lined up".

The journos had NO answer.

I'm not sure what he was like pre Benji being at the club, but Braith has admitted that he is actually biased towards the Tigers because of his relationship with Benji. He doesn't crap on us like people pretend he does.

I’ve definitely seen him rip into the tigers. When Ipap was released he was cutting the journalists off with terse rhetorical questions/opinions.

Letting Ipap go is a blunder

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Letting Ipap go is a blunder

Talent wise yes. (Especially if no one lined up to take his spot) He had never bought in though and on good money.

Clubs make these decisions all the time. It was just an example where anasta exception and laid the boot in. Perhaps marshal wanted to keep him?

It’s almost like we’re getting a progress report including degree of difficulty rating on a daily basis.
Change is what we all eat up, and with it comes the roller coaster. The good news and the bad news.
personally give me the Johnny Howard same same approach with the steady growth. Moving on up.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

At least they care - seems like there is a lot of love for Wests Tigers apart from Wests Tigers...

 

[Dennisspicer1]

The NRL has a rule to stop Coaches Players & Clubs from bringing the game into disrepute.

Pity we can't make a rule. ????

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

4 clubs have already.... whats wrong with us.... Moses encapsulates the dog eat dog world we find ourselves in today....

I’ve no problem with Anasta ripping in about that.
You don’t let a current International rep player walk early out of his contract…and no, other clubs do not let that sort of thing happen.
It’s shit management and deserved of a public stomping by commentators.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Not all commentators

It’s not common but they do.

The roosters will let the cheese go

Penrith offloaded Lewis to sharks when he was still a rep player.
