TEAM LIST Round 21 Vs Raiders

Team List
Hoping this galvanises the team in tomorrow’s captain’s run with, of all people, Romey ripping into the boys to make a stand as a playing group plus celebrate Javon’s debut. Tigers 13+
When has our team ever galvanised itself in the face of adversity? Never, in fact it’s always the opposite. They talk all week like they’re unified and ready to rumble then completely turn to water when they’re on the field. Time and time again, it’s the same result.

We are a mentally and emotionally weak team. Always have been, always will be until someone with the right qualifications actually steps in and addresses THAT problem. The crap going on with Doueihi right now only highlights just how ingrained that weakness really is.

I feel sorry for Javon having to make his debut with this rabble. I’m sure he will try his best, but the writing is already on the wall. Canberra by plenty.
 
expect a big game from Luai at 6 and giving Andrews plenty of confidence in the halves

Bula cant play as bad as last week.

No Young for raiders is a big out.

not sure we can win but I think we can get within 6 of them
Pattie suspension is also a big out, he’s a very dangerous player. Not that it will matter. As we’ve seen many times, we can have all the advantages in the world and still lose.
 
Benii isn’t clean in all of this. He dropped the ball as well.
How ? By telling the 195cm 100kg guy that maybe his future might be in the forwards or lock ?
Have you people played footy before ? It’s not a corporate boardroom , where HR come in and tell you who and what you should say , because your feelings MaTtEr!.
No man … “you’re playing lock this week . I know it’s not what you want , but I think it’s best for the team to everybody buy in and see if it works .”

Tell me how else you’re suppose to deliver that info? Luai this , Andruws that ,Latu this … it’s all irrelevant . This is the positional move Benji think will fix our team… go make it happen .
You’re given your orders , you air your grievance, and objections , ultimately you go execute those orders regardless of your personal feelings. And then it’s up to the coach to decide if they erred and got the call wrong . But that’s all done in debrief after the fact . What if it works and works really well? Nobody knows , and I’ll point out most on here have been asking for this since last year , and I’ve seen many replies saying latu7, Javon 6 , AD 13 .
I genuinely don’t see how Benji has messed this up in a team that’s won 2 games in 3 months … all this origin speak is ….. that was literally 3-4 months ago . It’s about as relevant as the talk about whether we are going to be able to sign Bula and May brothers …. It’s redundant .
 
Ok

ive got a tin foil hat theory … what if the issue wasn’t luai but rather AD and his reaction to the luai news .
I hope it's this but doubtful - AD has looked like the only one trying the last couple of weeks and I think when he goes into that mode that's what leads him undone.... when no one around him is creating anything he tries too hard and it doesn't come off.
 
No employee gets to tell his employer what to do, there is a principle at stake here. If Adam has walked out and refused to play, then we have the right not to pay him. He has broken his contract, send him home until he changes his mind or until his contract has expired.
Unfortunately with I Moses in his corner the first response to that would be to play the mental health card. Win /win for Moses playbook
 
Rds 1-8 Tigers were going great
A Bye ,5 wins ( 4 by big margins) 2 very close losses
Then the wheels fell off and Benji gradually lost the plot culminating in last 3 weeks Benji telling Luai he's not wanted next year and dropping our best
Player Douehi to 13 or the bench
I have never seen a club disintegrate so rapidly and completely as WT have done .
Great defence early became almost non existent
Great attack ( mainly due to Douehi ) became pitiful
Seems Benji is running things like a dictator as in last 2-3 years if you disagree with any decision its simple your out !
The best coaches are like good managers who create harmony and don't let blow ups get out of hand and in the media

My guess is Benji is trying to build a new team mainly out of promising kids
However these teenagers have yet to show any real class
When the team crumbles and falls to bits its your fault Benji !!!
