I think he is a WT lad, he should be solid?

The Pom says a lot of things...
His word isn't gospel.

Alex is a balmain junior and he's one of a few who look like they actually wanna be there.
A must keep, imo.

Jamil Hopoate is out on bail. He may consider WTs if there is no better offer?

The way we look to the outside world he might consider breaking bail and heading back into lock up.

Oh god I hope not. Bad player and a bad person

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

I know the state of the club isn't the best but where are the ambitious players who back themselves enough to be the player who turns the WTs fortunes around?
Someone under the Thurston or Tommy Turbo mould. Super competitive, a winning attitude and a big set of balls who is unfazed by any of our history, challenges or limitations.
I can respect footy player's decisions to seek glory and them not seeing us as an option but I'm totally sick of being a bargaining chip for those whose intentions are not the best.
It's the last thing we need.

Five hit-ups and a bomb is not really the type of football that attracts good players.

I occasionally teach hip hop (dance) and some games when I've watched us play it's usually reminded me of the under 5's classes.
Most have two left feet and in group dance routines, they are so out of sync, it isn't funny. It's like if the NRL were the MTV VMAs we'd be winning the worst choreographed music video hands down.

Your on the coaching staff Lauren asap

Did rhythmic gymnastics until I fractured my tibia-fibula a second time, so I happen to know a thing or two about timing and the technical aspects of performing in a super competitive environment - including mental preparation or psychological training.
The team's cohesiveness and persistence  haven't improved much and it's created the impression, for me, that it will always take/require an Herculean effort to be in certain games.
I'm basically saying, despite any ounce of talent in the team in the overall scheme of things we're no better (as a team) than we were at the start of the year, and in fact are probably closer to where we were in our poorest seasons. So this is a little worrying.
I just don't want this year to be like others, how in 2016 it was so glaringly obvious that we only needed Farah to make the 8 or how in recent years our goal kicking was the one let down of achieving this. That's all.

Was actually only thinking about Brett Hodgson the other day, and that if he were still around the club he'd have been great for Daine Laurie. I really enjoyed watching the combinations he was forming in the team when Doueihi was at five-eighth, and tbh I hope to see him finish the year off as strongly as he started. He only needs work on his defence IMO.
This is another reason I guess I'm also extra critical, as we still have to enhance the skill acquisition of our younger players and there should be nothing preventing this from happening yet we're still building as a team in cohesion, so it looks like another factor having a deterring effect on the team's progress.

In response to your comment I don't think they'd last under me ?

I agree, and sorry to hear about your unfortunate and untimely injuries.
I too think the team is regressing under Madge, if he was able to attract some talent I could cop this, but that isn't happening either.
This year is really bad, the bottom 2 sides in the 8 are going to have an atrocious F/A and win loss record.
We are going to struggle to make the weakest 8 in a very long time, and we have not recruited to address this

Sharron to the donkeys NOW thats a good fit, gone now to a donkey reserve

 

[yeahcaz]

Jeez even Isaac Liu is signing for the Titans. We’re gonna have all the money in the world with no one to spend it on. Maybe it can go towards a custom cutlery draw for all members

We've missed out on players recently and signed better ones (arguably)

Maumalo > Isaako, DWZ

Gotta have faith.

I think also that our pair of Wigan signings will be better than people realise.

I hope so but my expectations are low.
Hopeful through.

Madge > Nathan Brown (Coach)

From what I saw of Maumalo in his first game with us, I wasn’t impressed….Plodder…..at least DWZ runs with vigour…..

We conceded 66 points. Doesn't matter how hard it looks they're running he makes big metres all the time, he's known to be a metre eater

Ok then ...Isaako is faster and kicks at a high percentage that wins games ..its the package that the player brings ,out of the three Isaako would of been my pick !

What did you think of watching a real winger in action last night when Olam after picking up the loose ball his first thought was to get it to JAC? This is the problem with Maguire. First thought is hitting it up rather than finishing from anywhere on the field.
