LolIn order for a team to come from last place to near the top, you need a couple of superstars.
Proven superstars are not available to be recruited, so the only way is to find some potential superstars and that’s exactly what Wests Tigers are doing. Anyone who is a fair dinkum supporter cannot ask for anymore than that and should be riding the wave in anticipation the glory days from 2005 - 2012 will return, not forgetting we were also in a big struggle prior to finding a couple of emerging stars in Marshall and Farah in the lead up to 2005.
Of course there is no 100% guarantee some of the young players we are banking on will develop into the NRL stars we are hoping they will become and of course there is no 100% guarantee they will remain in Wests Tigers colours, but you need a plan and hope. That is what has been put in place by Wests Tigers and that’s all you can ask for in our current predicament.
Marshall and Farah have gone through this exact same process as young emerging players at a struggling club that nobody predicted would be successful, both went on to have long established NRL careers and played under some of the best coaches in the business, so I’m highly confident they have the expertise, have the club at heart and know what it takes to guide these young emerging players and the Wests Tigers as a club in the right direction.
Don’t expect miracles for another season or two, but if we stick to the plan and let Marshall and Farah develop and build the team they want, it’s a massive chance they will produce the on field results all Wests Tigers supporters have long been craving for.
It’s non believers such as yourself that are disillusional.Lol
Delusional.
Farah and Marshall made the 8 how many times for WTs in 12 yrs? 3 times?
They were unreliable and inconsistent as players - for their talent we should’ve dominated for a decade.
The ship is going to sink next year.
At least management will hopefully go down with them.
Lol

You expect overnight success, but have no idea or plan on how it can be achieved.

- What generational talent like these 2 blokes has played for so long without bringing sustained success?
They couldn't do it in their career when they were among the best to do it,
Now all of a sudden they'll do it as coaches - With zero experience?
But they played for Wests Tigers, not Storm or Broncos. That they got one premiership is a absolutely monumental accomplishment at this club! That's to the moon level. So blessed to have that. Imagine supporting the team if we didn't have 05 and all the fun times with Benji16 Years for Farah
14 Years Benji...
He has a point, Benji or Farah don't know what success looks like either.
Winning a comp as a kid, Doesn't mean you've had a successful career...
Both played for The best part of 20 years and made the finals 6 times and 3 Times in that time.
Seriously,
These fellas are held to such a standing here you'd think they were Cameron Smith and Cooper Cronk.
Farah and Benji have a winning percentage in the NRL of around 50%
That's not success for mine.
The other fellas around 70% -Those are the kind of Footballers that know what success looks like.
When hard task masters such as Wayne Bennett, Cameron Smith and Braith Anasta just to name a few speak very highly about Benji, that’s good enough for me.Finals
Benji 6/19 Seasons in his career
Farah 3/18
In a comp where half the teams made the 8....
More than half until 2007
I've said it here a million times

I’ve seen the way Benji and Farah mix with our fans and the players to be certain they have the clubs best interests at heart and no doubt have the communication skills required.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I have no doubt whatsoever Benji and Farah with the assistance of John Morris, Chris Heighington and the likely inclusion of Mark O’Neill are the best placed people to lead the club to on field success in the near future.
How they were as players means very little when it comes to what they are like as coaches. It's not relevant. Bellamy won't be remembered for his playing days.
They have some coaching experience now. They have a year of failure with Timmy showing them the ropes.
It's a hail mary play. I suppose we are all just on for the ride.

You're right though, All we can do is watch the car crash...
A full preseason with api will do fainu and Sullivan well. Api is definitely the key to our successI'm hopeful they get it right and maybe it even works for us. It'll depend so much on the development talent we have on our books. Galvin, Fainu & Sullivan are the key ones. I was thinking that we have 3 of them. You only need two.
Who would you suggest coach Wests Tigers ?My comment was in reference to the suggestion they'll implement success....
So - It doesn't mean very little....
Their long term success in their chosen field career wise, Isn't great - What grounds do that give them to think they will be in a new career - With zero experience.
Bellamy may not be remembered for his playing career
(Although he only played 40 odd less games than someone like Wayne Pearce - And actually won a Grand Final)
He will be remembered for his work ethic (throughout his entire career) and getting to where he is by doing the groundwork - I wouldn't associate those attributes to either of these blokes.
You're right though, All we can do is watch the car crash...
Ask any of them if they think Benji Marshall is ready to be an NRL head coach?
Furthermore, Ask them if they'd (Hypothetically) trust a Rookie Coach (With zero experience)
with the career of their young blokes?
Listened to Bennett on James Graham podcast just yesterday....
He mentioned - In 3 years or so, Benji will have a bit of experience to give it a go....
No mention of Benji being ready now, Or coaching teams for the last 5 years as Benji openly claims...
Follow blindly if you like, I can't think of any NRL coach in my time
- That has come in with 1 year experience in ANY GRADE and had any success.....
I'd even go as far to say, There hasn't been one with such an overly inflated opinion of himself to even pull it on - But here we are.
If nothing else, At least the old boys can go back to spending their days together...
Farah played (and once captained) Origin and also played for his country.16 Years for Farah
14 Years Benji...
