Further to that, Toa was in the Knights system for about 4 years before making his debut, always had the reputation of having tons of ability, but a lazy attitude along with a soft mentality with injuries. I've seen nothing since that changes that.
to’a could be the best centre in the game if he really wanted to be, has all the talent
That’s a real high bar.
How did we get on to Benji? Another straw man argument.
That’s great. Ever notice how anyone who refuses to think anything negative never hesitates to belittle others who don’t see things their way? Meanwhile, I’ve never judged anyone for wanting to see nothing but positives. Btw I’ve been told to be patient since 2011 🙄
I wish we had more Indigenous players.
Have you watched the Eels play lately in comparison to us ?
I’m not convinced he’ll be here if we’re bottom 4 this year.
I reckon Bronson Xerri is shaking in his boots.
My post?
Can't we just look for the best players regardless of race?
If we could get our hands on a few good Norwegian’s that would be very handy.
can thank Madge for that 😍
Yes you seem to think very similarly to Rob Bechara which is not a bad thing as he’s a very good Wests Tigers man who looks at things from all angles.
This is such a poor and lazy response. You were screaming for change. You got it in spades. We actually started signing defent players and 18 games in you are death riding the same coach that made it happen. You're a spud.
I didn’t say not to look at the best players from wherever, I’m saying our programs for Indiginous development and recruitment are falling behind most other NRL clubs, so we need to pick our game if we don’t want to start missing out.
That one is news to me.
Please give examples. What indigenous programs are all the other clubs doing? You mentioned the Bulldogs. I don't think there's one indigenous player in their team. They are your standard. By your logic we should exclude all indigenous.
I've spoken with Rob in the past.
I was screaming for change? Citation needed. I was basically off here for 18 months in the lead up to Marshall taking over, so not sure where that comes from. Also, you’ll have to cite me where I ever endorsed appointing a guy, albeit a club legend, with zero experience. I’ll be keen to see what you find. But I digress. I have a question. I put this in the Benji thread the other day, but this seems like as good a time as any to ask again. What has he brought to the table? Unfortunately you aren’t allowed to say pride in the jersey or the fact players love him. That’s all window dressing. When it comes to the nitty gritty, what has brought to the club as a coach on the field? Where has this team improved, what areas? What tactical nous has he shown? Bravery with team selections? Anything? What justifiable reason do you have to be patient? Do you just feel obligated being a supporter?
