All sorts of wrong with this.

Andrews if left sided as well, also isn’t a organizational halfback. He has a higher chance of being fullback over ousting Luai.

Luai leaves after next year or stays as our primary half for another 4yrs. He won’t play 2nd fiddle to anyone far too competitive for that. If he leads us to 2 GFs in a row Benji won’t punt him either.

Yep, I had one of those logic moments where I just assumed Andrews was a halfback, cos why would we buy another left-sided 5/8? But then I realised that when it comes to player recruitment, we are more often than not the Worstigers, not the Weststigers!

💯 agree that this. List needs to be worked on.

Benji needs better help from his assistant coaches.

That list could be longer. I reckon goal kicking deserves its own dot point, it’s worth half a try. The way teams defend on the goal line, coupled with our red zone A game, (A game? ha, you F game), we have no business passing up half a try.

But really that is a list of all the things every club needs to work on to be successful. But just in case maybe someone should facetweet or toktik it to Benji.

Sheens did him dirty after Madge was sacked. Talk about being thrown to the wolves.

Bro - He retired in 2010 and has been coaching all over the place since.
Coached at Dogs, Raiders, Illawarra Comp.. the only place he's lasted more than a year or so, Is here.

This is his 2nd stint with us,
Pretty sure he was with our 20's in 2015(ish) surprised it's not mentioned here more.

Yeah I didn’t wanna break ya heart that early in the day, but it’s seems like others weren’t as caring. 😎

I’m sure this club has something against 7’s, ever since Prince Scotty left.
Must have broken someone’s heart and we’ve banned them ever since.

I still liked your Andrews passion LT.

Just realised that he is a left-sided 5/8 as well - oh well - over to plan B- let's buy a team full of left-sided 5/8s and surely one of them will get the fifth tackle kick right - and this kid looks like he can and he kicks goals in clutch situation to win games from the sideline.

Just have a mindset where the whole field is the left side....Knights do it.....not very effectively.

As someone currently in the market, I can tell you he wouldn't be feeling too great seeing the prices in Sydney.. it's diabolical at the moment ..

There a place near us (around the fivedock area) and these young Asian guys bought a house for $4.5 million for a few hundred square metres of land...
They knocked the house down and are rebuilding.. the house itself was in good nick.

I am seeing places in Strathfield and Burwood selling for 6+ million.. just everyday family homes.. what the actual fk is going on

I grew up in North Ryde mate moved to Caves Beach 30 years ago but one of my high school buddies living close to my old house said a place down the road sold for 3 million eight months ago I was shocked.

You would have to move a long way out of the Sydney suburbs if you were a young couple these days, seriously where the F are these ridiculous prices going to peak.

Poor bastard. He may not be a great coach but he’s been thrown under the bus multiple times since he arrived.

The latest one was coaching an NRLW team with almost all reserve graders.

He recruited them though . It was his decisions making that lead to girls like Whitfield leaving because he wouldn’t promise her , her obvious best position re. Fullback . She was the best player in the team by the length of the straight in the first season. That team that was “reserve grade” won’t be Harvey Norman when all the best girls played in it . Albeit with guns like Jess Sergis etc. still there was more than enough talent for the team to be doing much better . And better interpersonal skills may have meant a lot the girls who’ve left , would have stayed .
From all reports noddy is a good bloke , but clearly there was and probably always has been , a disconnect in the team . Look in purely hypothesising here , maybe he was white anted , maybe there was poor power dynamics and it’s not his fault . But we have lost a lot of players recently , and considering how strong our juniors in the girls were prior to their nrlw introduction( remember there was uproar that the tigers and sharks weren’t apart of the inaugural comp , as that’s where most of the talented girls were coming from ) , the whole program needs to be scrapped and started again.
The transition from dominant lower league teams to professionalism has been a disaster . Whether noddy is to blame or not , he’s overseen this , so he needs to go and reset button pushed .
I was singing from the same song sheet re. Payne and the KOE team. Not sure recent results can justify not changing that program as well .

Good.

Poor old Noddy has been a disaster wherever he coaches.

Nice guy, though.

Agree it's time for Noddy to go he's had 3 seasons to get something happening I just can't see any improvement.

We sometimes get impatient with Benji's attacking philosophies well when I watch the women play most of the time it's just one out crap up the middle, hardly any ball getting to the outside backs, boring.

Good ol The Mole has deleted his initial tweet about Noddy being sacked. Now reporting he is standing down.

Was his 1st stint a failure too, wouldn't surprise, suffering Tiger's supporters tend to suppress those bad memories into the back of their minds.

My nan and pop sold their place not too long ago for 2.7million..a brick home built in the 60s....it's insane.. denninstone East that was...

Im considering a few areas outside of Sydney for the fam. Unfortunately with my work it means a few times a week I'd have to travel to the city - but that's the sacrifice to have a family home it seems...
