What a guy!
Maybe it’s penance for previous behaviour.

No , as much as must on here hate Bateman he is a good defender, we would need to keep him because we don’t have the depth of player should a backrower goes down , u just can’t have 6 forwards u need at least 10

Do you know what position KPP is?

 

[user118245]

Bateman not an option with Hastings there & he is digging his heels up there to stay.

Bud a definite option. They wanted him the same time as us.

Peace-Paul for Bud would be perfect. Might even get the best out of Bateman having another Pom around.

Apparently souths in talks for a Hastings Ilias swap

It was in the paper. It has to be true. What position he play and sorry - who is Bizza. Im too excited.

Brian Bizza To’o

G'Day 'Needaname'. I have re-read my previous post and do get where you are coming from. The intent of my post was to say that it was a shame that one of the real nice guys of our game has been mentioned in an unsavoury incident. I think I became overly emotive with the manner in which the press seem to enjoy mentioning anyone of reknown to a perpetrator of a criminal act. If I had my time again I would retract the last two sentences as, in retrospect they do detract from my original intention.

No offence intended, and I didn’t mean to imply you were suggesting that; just I thought the incident is in isolation and is unlikely to be connected to Alex.

 

[jrtiger]

yes to pursuing Pearce-Paul. with the state of Newcastle’s cap I reckon they’d be receptive to an early release as well.

How do we know that Ivan’s donating to the foundation?

I'm pretty sure that foundation was a 1 off payment.

Wonder if it was conditional of the release from his contract or if he’s just a closet supporter. I’d suggest the former but would be nice to think the latter

If he was any good another team would already have brought him back home from the ESL, but they haven’t, that should tell you something

i dont know how we can we have no free roster spots due to inept roster management

Bit walk good at English, but after reading Merlot’s posts for years I can understand your gibberish about some thousand year old midget winger who makes the odd highlight reel in A only, playing in a comp where Ozy players who are not good enough for NRL go to feel good about themselves.

Thanks @Merlot , you’ve taught me well.

That’s what I thought too.

I think we are all on the same page, that’s why we are confused lol.

 

[Modman]

Lol yeah poor Benji.
Hasn’t had a fair run….

Leave him be, Hes going for his 3 peat. Seriously though Question, how long does Benji get if we finish bottom 2 next year.

Probably most of us here are out in the paddock black sheeping away, seperate from the herd or flock.

We support the Wests Tigers, we are the black sheep of the game.

No one understands why we do it, not even us.

Was that the royal we? 🤔

Another year for each position? Ten year plan for ninth.

How long - not very long at all. All of us will be looking for improvement in 25. If we stay in the cellar Benji will be gone before year end.

Enough time to clean his office out and go back to TV and be the clown again.

He said words to the effect recently that he knows he could be finished if we don’t improve, but he was Ok with that as he has implemented his program and is sure he is building a better club.

Against that, Richo has said “ results count” when he joined the club.

So competing messages.

We are in the annual promise of better future mode atm.

As frightened as I am for another spoon, I’m not confident Benjis successor will be any better because the hb intervention isn’t working as hoped. That’s just my view. I’d rather lick the mud off the LO hill than welcome Lee back, but hb might want to review whether or not they should hang around after serving up the last 5 years of complete and utter rubbish.

I like to think the club is still best served by a democracy instead of this political paralysis and matey incompetence.

That’s not Benjis fault I know.
