Please
What’s AD done so far
That’s why South’s let him go…. Great call

AD has a lot more life in the game going forward than Benji , lol

They let him go for Latrell, who we couldn't land.
 
See the difference…
Benji has done and still doing everything in Rugby League at his age.
Let’s see if AD is still running around in 15 years
And even with this club,as at the moment we have no chance playing in the Semifinals let alone Grand Finals

😂😂

Plays off the bench for a team that rarely misses the finals.

Put Moltzen in that 14 jersey and he'd look satisfactory too.

Benji #1 fan over here.

Benji wasn't right for this club in 2021, nothing against him, I am hoping he gets a second premiership but we couldn't protect him in defence.

Great thread. How lame is Morgan Harper? Again, a knob who will make a career out of looking like he’s going to an 80s party every day.

How dare you attack his personal character and attack him for his appearance!? ?

Jokes.
He is very lame. He was woeful last night.
Time for a haircut and a shave.

Manly in general were extremely ineffective last night. Very poor performance and clearly the better team won.

He is now waiting for the release of next seasons draw. Hoping to play the tigers twice, he has scored about 8 tries in 3-4 games against us

Harper has to be the worst defensive centre in the NRL,with Suli and one or two Tigers not far behind.Pairing him with Saab was never going to end well
Shows the criticality of centre defence..particularly not rushing up out of the line..hope Madge was paying attention

Turn it up. He’s a fantastic defensive centre, he’s just a bloody kid, him and Saab in their first KO finals game in their first full season in the comp. will only be better next season and beyond. Only thing he needs to work on is his hands. Him, Parker and suli would walk into our team

A fantastic defensive centre is one thing he isn’t.
Cost them at least 4 tries agains Melbourne and another few last night.
Not up to scratch.

All this discussion is useless if the players have no heart and continues to give up in games.

This is a culture issue.

Maguire is the leader and should be driving cultural change. I guess it's only been 3 years and according to many the culture is still garbage. What does that tell you?

It tells you it takes a long time to fix a rotten culture and you need the support of everyone to do it.

Or, that there is nothing wrong with the culture in the joint and it is being used as an excuse.


I would think only making the playoffs 3 times since the merger over 20 years ago would put that many holes in your theory even a Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon supporter would find it hard to believe it especially considering 50% of the teams make it every year

We're a merge of two clubs that always had to fight hard to field competitive teams. Making the playoffs 3 times in 20 years is perhaps indicative of that fact. It doesn't lesson my support for WTs, Balmain or Wests.

We were on the verge of a being highly competitive a few years ago with the emergence of highly talents juniors. I am glad we are revisiting that strategy.

To blame it on our culture is a furphy.

Benji was and still remains one of the greats at WTs and in the NRL. A generation of kids grew up trying to imitate that fantastic step. He will always remain a WTs' great no matter how many supporters on this Forum attempt to rewrite history. And Moltzen was a really good footballer. Try playing with a metal plate in your skull. That young man has a lot of guts. He also is a favourite of mine.

So being a retirement destination and taking payments and not putting in is not a culture issue. Ok.

I’m sure you’d do way better mate. His best footy is ahead of him

The word culture gets tossed about so frequently on this forum that it eventually becomes a truth.

The desertion of Australian troops was the reason for the fall of Singapore in Feb 42 if you believed folklore. It was repeated so often it became a fact to many but it was not the truth.

The club has brought in a coaching director and is hiring two new assistants. Actions v words.

Culture:
The ideas, customs, and social behaviour of a particular people or society.

Wests Tigers culture has been crap for over a decade, even longer. The current coach is trying to change that. It takes time to overcome a decade+ of rubbish.

He can coach, many of our roster can’t play though. They are literally not up to it and would not make the squad in any NRL team.

Why did he bring in Bj and Jimmy the jet then. Not sure they are the blokes you want to change the culture within your club.
