Questions for the boss!

[GNR4LIFE]

To follow on from Ink, how much longer will we see the current 4-4-4 split between the current 3 grounds and if and when the situation changes, what changes will be made?

A question : Can you please give us an exact list of our top 25 this season, and then a list of what our confirmed and locked in top 25 for next year is at present? This yr has been tough with injuries. It would help everyone understand how/why our line-up changes as the season progresses and the injury ward come back into the frame. Thanks in advance.

Yeah….don't think he's gonna answer that one. And it'll be out of date by next year, so only relevant for like 8 or 9 weeks.

Why not? Understanding our actual FG squad at the very minute, without the second tier payment players would clarify alot of things. The salary cap is an enigma to most fans, and just an up to the minute list for this season, and how next seasons team is shaping up at this point in time would also be interesting.

On both NRL and Weststigers.com, we have 31 players listed. For example, Miller isnt there, yet Mosese (may God rest his soul) is. So from the 32 players (including Milky) who is actually top 25? Will a currently promoted player doing well at present lose his spot to an ex-incumbent by Potters call, or because of 2nd tier restrictions? These lists will shed alot of light on possible decisions made in coming weeks, and is kind of unfair to have Potter lined up for criticism if his hands are tied.

He did not answer my question "who is currently off contract" Can't see him answering this.

Part 2 is now up

I like the honesty in the last two questions from Part 2\. It seems we're behind other clubs in medical and fitness.

 

[pHyR3]

One thing I think people haven't talked about at all is pre-season.

Over summer, a lot of reports came out about it being 'the hardest pre-season in a long time' and 'potter has gone old-school.' I reckon that could be the source of a lot of fitness/medical problems because going oldschool mightn't be the best in the MODERN game. I'm not an expert, nor do I know what they even did, but over training in an inefficient way would probably lead to less fit players who are more injury prone. The fitness hasn't been a massive issue, but the injuries definitely have.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the delay getting Part 2 up and running. It's been flat chat at WT HQ. Here it is: http://bit.ly/13HwgMv

There'll be plenty more info coming out within the next week so stay tuned on this topic.

We'll also have the remaining two parts (I think there'll be two) coming out ASAP.

AJ

GM is definitely referring to our facilities rather than any mental attitude amongst the group.

thanks mate, good read

 

[cunno]

Thanks for your work AJ and Grant, communication is a good thing for all involved.

 

[Knuckles]

The jury is out for mine …. Sounds like listening to a politician to me.

When we see some runs on the board is when I will give my imprimatur.

 

[AJ_Carr]

Well, the show rolls on!

Third edition is out. Some good stuff in this one again. Plenty to sink your teeth into.

I've touched on Digital a little bit and gone some of the way towards explaining why the team announcement is often so close to deadline. Happy to clarify further.

Cheers mate, good read. There is a part 4 right?

 

[AJ_Carr]

One to come.

 

[Anthism]

One to come.

What is the fourth part concerning?
Appreciated as always

[system]

The issue I'd like to raise is about the performance and selection of our coaching staff. Royce Simmons has been with the club since 2003 and in that time our defence has been well below average, with our best defensive efforts and fitness levels coinciding with Steve Folkes time with the team, does anyone at the club question this?
Given the high injury toll in successive years are our strength and conditioning coaches and their techniques being questioned?

Will Mick Potter be given the opportunity to select his own coaching staff?

AJ, Any idea mate when the fourth part will be up on the website & if GM will be doing a similar thing next year? Great initiative from GM & I take my hat off to him for making us supporters feel part of the club & heard.

Will Trent Barrett or Todd Payten be our new coach next year ?

This is why clubs baulk at doing stuff like this, because they know ridiculous pointless time wasting garbage like this will be put forward

So has my question been answered yet ?

Thousands of fans know where you are coming from. Management should know that with no fans there is no team and no jobs for management,
