LIVE GAME Round 27 vs. Eels

[weststigers]

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 …

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

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 …

Need more of you in the world Lestronge.

Either way, TSP seems like a nice guy and probably just took my banter in the wrong way.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Fragile mind. Have I ever told you about the concrete story?

Mate this has gone on for 2 days. No one wants to read these petty clashes.

I can't for the life of me see how what I've said to you amounts to stalking or bullying, but fine, if you've taken it that way, my sincerest apologies, I honestly had no idea it made you feel that way. Can we move on now?

Ok, I can go through it with you, but I’ll move on.

Thank you.

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.

I would be the first to to eat humble pie if the Tigers won 7 ( even 4 in a row) with Benji at helm. Only thing is , I prefer to judge the future progress of Tigers on probability rather than possibility.
Just do not want to see a season shot down in the first 7 weeks any more. Like the last many years. We need to draw the line and sack coaches that fail. We will get right coach by trying different coaches. Can't just appoint a coach because he was a 2005 wonder.

Fair comments, but probability is he will be coaching for the first 7 games. That's what we're working with.

Remember we knee jerked to sign Madge, then ended up missing Bennett. We knee jerked to sign Sheens/Benji and missed Flanagan.

I just reckon we need to wait for the right coach to become available first.

Whatever happens Benji is not going to get the same free pass in the media that he got this year.

Your absolutely right. He has been a protected species with all his mates at Fox. Even Braif, who hates the tigers has not been critical of Marshall. If only Madge had that immunity, he may have been successful with the roster Marshall had.

I think benji will be a lot better next year hopefully with some extra help and this year's experience under hie belt

Sick of living in hope every year. Same old story. It's time to take action. Get an experienced coach who can mould a first grade team out of this improved roster.

watch Tiger Tales doco, you will change your assessment of Madge…his style does not resonate with young players…he Got lucky coaching a team of star players in this years SOO

Madge was supposed to be the coach to resolve things but as we know, Tim was imposed upon him, he had issues with Harto and eventually the board.

And there were times when his relationship was strained with Benji and they said he was getting hard to deal with.

Things have got worse in the coaching stakes since he was deposed. That’s a matter of fact.

There was a view that he deserved to see the year out at least but Lee said his biggest error was re-signing him after the dogs final game fallout.

Whether Lee was a good footy judge is of course questionable.

Agree with his style probably not resonating with younger, developing players.

Disagree he got lucky. Elite players (which tigers lack) respond quite well it seems.

A good judge , Lee and his cronies were?

wtf are you talking about ? if that exchange "triggers" you , or even if anything gets an emotional reaction that you would describe that way in the first place , than once again its a you problem.
If your feelings are hurt ? cool ! who cares ! then thats tough .
if your actually bullied , threatened , or something more nefarious than of course that matters .
But what youre describing is simply hurt feelings . And that is not barometer for anything .
Im not being a dick , no matter what you might think . Its a forum where healthy debate , bordering on unhealthy at times is not just encouraged , but honestly the forums life blood . Especially in the wake of a loss . Guys were losing it at each other mid game . let alone after that hammering .
I think you need perspective mate. thats all im saying . good luck to you

The current program, the youth policy, isn’t working as intended. I think that’s clear.

Bird signed for $400k, factory wages.

On my dodgy reckoning, we’ve still got money burning a hole in the pocket.

Bird is an aged utility, there’s probably a spot for him, but he doesn’t run as straight as he used to.

We still need sub marquees in the pack.

madge had lost the dressing room . There was soo many eye rolls in that documentary , i thought the players heads were about to implode . Madge was not the answer . Neither was sheens and benji has been given the hardest road possible to succeed. for this alone we should habve more patience .

That’s my point lol.

But he went on the record to say re-signing Madge was his worst mistake in charge of the club.
