Also have a pack that every time we have played them have made our forwards look like marshmallows.
Furthermore the way they have fallen off in the last month doesn’t fill me with awe on Flanagan as coach.

Lucky to have you as the know all on this forum. You need to educate yourself as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is a sign of insanity.

I must say I do like your diplomatic style BZN. 😎
I would be happy if we had similar progress to the dragons in one year. Coaching had everything to do with that improvement. Not going to happen at WT even if you gave Benji the Penrityh roster.

Yep Dragons did well and none of this is about whether Flanagan is a better or worse coach that Benji. Given next years side I would prefer Flanagan to be coaching it than Benji.
So to move the discussion forward, who should be coach then? Who is available? Brad Arthur?
c mon plenty of grass shoots with the year thats bn,dig deep 05 ,there there
Very deep digging required. Bring back Sheens (LOL).
apart from 3 coaches they wouldnt feed the pickings from the buzzards to last 1/2 a yr
all hail the Great 1 - lol
Brad would suit. Maybe approach other assistant coaches such as Holbrook, Dymock, Hagan. All have years of experience and could take Benji under their wing fort apprenticeship. Whether he would accept that is questionable.But if was genuine in his desire to improve the club , he would understand.
We can't just keep hoping to be better next season ( like every other previous season) without taking drastic action. We have nothing to lose as we have 3 spoons to prove that. It's not preferable , but we can't keep ending our season in the first 6-7 games each season with successive losses.
all club nonsense aside,what another ,4 letter x4 fnfn way 2 bow out,yet again
forget who said or where/2025 hopes?2b still some sort of hope for semi's after rnd 7

I just want to do my best to understand your logic here. You are not against Benji as coach provided he has done an apprenticeship?
What happens if we win 7 in a row to start the season? Will you continue to call for his head or for him to step down to apprentice level?
But rather than talk about things that aren't going to happen, do you accept you'll be watching the first 7+ games of the season with Benji as coach and you'll at least have to suffer his poor coaching for a while longer? Can we start talking about the reality of the situation?
By that I mean what is the solution after the mid point of next season when it is absolutely clear his experience is the driving factor for all our losses despite some quality recruits.
Personally, I'd be letting Benji know that he's not going anywhere and to step down in an honourable and respectable way and I'd be looking at getting Andrew Webster back home as head coach.
Other than that, you've got respected assistants like Dean Young who by all reports is ready as he's ever going to be to take charge of a team.
Sorry for the long post btw...
PS none of this is meant to offend, just in case something isn't worded as well as it could be. Just discussing the issue at hand, not playing the man.
Why don’t you actually reply to me instead of whatever this is ?
I have no idea who wests tigers is . I was asking a question based on the information provided ie. the previous posts didn’t add up to bullying !!! That’s why I started my post with “did posts get deleted ?” .
You’re carrying on like an absolute child …. It’s not becoming !
Geez there’s some real weak people on here …. Just give it back to him ! And if it’s he’s really that much of a dickhead block him …. The constant crying because a guy doesn’t like what you have to say , and is telling you that … is just such a 2024 problem .
This , what you’re crying about , is not bullying . It’s a you problem …
I have no issues with Benji . The team is obviously responding to him . That team we trotted out , had a backline that will all be in KOE for us or someone else next year .
Stef was a joke , Klemmer looks to be in the final years of his career (he needs to look in the mirror this offseason), apparently Api needs surgery this offseason , Fainu is 19 , Seyfarth was actually good , Ice tried hard but I don’t think his heart was ever truely here , Pole once again had his usual once a game lapse that leads to a try /linebreak , Fainu needs another offseason I. The gym, Sukkar is 19 , and I thought twal was actually good when he was on .
It’s not all doom and gloom …
I'd love Benji to be the answer to our prayers. I just don't think you get coaching credentials other than by experience and Benji doesn't have experience .... yet. I'd love a quality coach to come in over the top of Benji as director of coaching (or something similar) and guide Benji for a couple of years. That would be a risky strategy because they might clash but Benji needs help.

Pretty well put. Lots of positives this year in a tough season.
