If we don’t win today, or at least give it a red hot crack, we won’t win again this year. It will show they have thrown in the towel. A win would hardly be a watershed moment, and it won’t prove Benji has finally found the tonic, but it will show us there are still signs of life in this team, and I think most of us would take that right now. I always talk about Benji’s weaknesses of which there are many. One of his few strengths is emotion. Pride in the jersey. And I think if there is one game he could get us up for after all we’ve been through the last few weeks, it’s this one. If not, we won’t win again till 2027.

One of our halves chose not to play for the badge last week and the other one called it a business when told he was no longer needed next year.

Benji has to shoulder some of the blame as he signed or resigned those guys.

But I’ll be watching the halves much more closely than the man with the clipboard. Are they still in the crocodile roll LOL

On Tuesday afternoon, I was so disappointed with my team that I had decided I was going to put in as much of a show as AD last week, and not bother. By Wednesday, I'd already given my boss her winnings (we always have a $2 lottery ticket on WT v Eels games), bit this morning, I'm all about Api and his 250th game (which I cannot believe we are playing at Parra Park. How stupid, but typically Wests Tigers 🤦‍♀️).

Surely winning, or at least a much better chance of achieving such is worth more than the dollars from playing home games at the ground of another team. Will WT ever learn, and/or is the penny pinching of HBG at the heart of it the place to lay blame?
 
We have no props on the bench.
Unless benji considers seyfarth a prop.
And looks like may will play 80?

Need javon to 7, douhei to 13, twal to prop, pole to bench.. or is see our middle being dominated

Maybe a late shuffle.

Setfart to lock, Twal FR. Pole pine?
 
What time does the final 19 get displayed. Just looked and it still showed the cast of thousands. Im really worried about the bench being a stinker. Benji doesn't use bench well in the best of times, with Roberts, Afoa and Andrews so low down i can't fathom what he is thinking.

It was virtually named last night with Javon named as reserve, he's the only one who can come into the side an hour before kickoff unless he can only replace an injury.

So, the stinker of a bench remains unless Benji's going to bring Javon in and move Doueihi to lock.
 
No doubt Api's 250th should help

And this is a huge opportunity for these guys on the bench, lets hope for the future of the team, they have good games.

Lets' back them in and I would love to see Maka have a good game as well, he has pedigree and shown some impovement recently and he's due.
