Potter re-signing tonight/tomorrow

Despite solid results this season, the playing group is not supporting Potter, believing he struggles to communicate his ideas to the team. The club has arranged for a special board meeting on Saturday to resolve the issue of Potter’s future, which has been uncertain for months.

So the players still run the club?!

Senior players did not throw their full support behind Potter — a fact that came to light in veteran coach Brian Smith’s internal review of the club conducted recently.

Through the boys club?!

Smith’s report is believed to have contained statements from players and officials critical of Potter’s communication skills.

And surprise surprise Smith causes more havoc! Why don't we just get Stuart to replace Potter!

Privately, the board want the matter resolved before the possibility of Potter embarrassing the club by making the semi-finals.

And this has to be the most ridiculous, incomprehensible sentiment I've ever heard!

Sure the Telegaff have coin on the Dragons tomorrow!
 
Now that Parramatta is starting to have some success, its seems we are the new Parramatta, If its true and Potter is sacked this week, expect to have 3 coaches over the next few years.

How's that for a paragraph?????

FFS!

What an embarrassment that would be, making the semi's. Don't you get embarrassed when the Tigers make the semi finals? We need controversy not semi finals, that's what we're about. And just to ensure we don't end up in this embarrassing situation, we're going to destabilise everything as we start the run to the semi's. Yay! Bungle in the Jungle.
 
That paragraph illustrates the mentality of the people that control this club , and the mentality of the people with in the club supplying the information.

Blew me away!

Credit to the Daily Gaff if they've come up with that one.
It surpasses any WMD they've come with before…

Walking through forests of Palm Tree Apartments
Scoff at the monkeys who live in their dark tents
Down by the waterhole, drunk every Friday
Eating their nuts, saving their raisins for Sunday
Lions and tigers who wait in the shadows
They're fast but they're lazy and sleep in green meadows

Well, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yeah
Well, I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree

Just say a word and the boys will be right there
With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air
Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder?
Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder
I'll write on your tombstone, ''I thank you for dinner''
This game that we animals play is a winner

Well, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yes
I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree

The rivers are full of crocodile nasties
And He who made kittens put snakes in the grass
He's a lover of life but a player of pawns
Yes, the King on His sunset lies waiting for dawn
To light up His Jungle as play is resumed
The monkeys seem willing to strike up the tune

Well, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yes
I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree

Well, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yes
Well, I'm a tiger when I want love
But I'm a snake if we disagree

Well, let's bungle in the jungle
Well, that's all right by me, yes

In the Ian Anderson/Jethro Tull vein i think "Thick as a brick" more appropriate in describing our board.
 
Any Wests/Balmain voting members out there? Now's a good time to think about arseholing these clowns that represent the respective factions.

This club is a joke.
 
Please stop making judgements about people of whom you know nothing.

We do not know what is going on behind the headlines at the club. Do you seriously think that members of the Board are deliberately trying to rip the club apart?? Get real.

If Potter goes then he goes. I can remember last year that the same forum whingers were saying that he should be sacked, worst coach ever etc. etc.

The Weststigers club do not have any more trouble than a lot of other NRL clubs, like Manly, Cronulla, Parramatta, Gold Coast, Broncos and St. George.

Stop the bellyaching and follow the team. Let the people who know what the go is work out the internal stuff.

Col, on what basis do you come to the conclusion that **"the people who know what the go is"** are capable of working out the internal stuff. "They" have been failing for years, like:-
1\. The Benji saga.
2\. The Sheens saga.
3\. The Tedesco saga.
4\. The Moltzen saga.
5\. The Fifita saga.
6\. The Beau Ryan saga.
7\. The Longmire saga.
8\. The Humphries saga.
9\. And the rest I cannot think of at the moment.
**"The Weststigers club do not have any more trouble than a lot of other NRL clubs**, but if this is true and they do, most of it is handled more quietly and better than the Tigers "experts" do!

Great post. I don't support Potter I support the club. I'd be stoked if Potter stays but I'll support the club no matter what happens.
