Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TSP]

You'd get about 4 eyeballs a week

Not even that.

Us members aren’t very high on the list of priorities, especially at the moment.

If you disagree with them, they tend to send you to Coventry!

Knocking back sponsorship enquiries is a new low!

I’m going to send an email to another club and see how they go compared to us.

Will probably never happen but a man can dream. Imagine the potential starting team in 2026 if, by some miracle, Luai convinced Tino to sign with us.

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Makasini
4. To’a
5. May
6.Luai
7. Latu
8. May
9. Api
10. Pole
11. Sam Fainu
12. KPP
13. Tino

It looks like the combined Pacific Islands team. Probably as Benji would like it.

Would get us somewhere between 9th and 12th.

HBG certainly do want to own a successful football team… only problem is that it’s Western Suburbs Magpies and not WestsTigers.

Totally agree with your comments, about Magpies v/s WestTigers.

Kpp is from effing London lol.

Coaching is very likely part of the problem as I thought he was adding decent impact early in the season.
You don’t just lose all ability within 3 - 4 months.

You can if you put on 10kg V Hunt needs to find out Juinor Paulo's nutritionist and hire them after all Benji told him when he signed he needed to get more minutes on the park.

This could be the reason he finds himself in reserve grade it's up to him to pull the finger out.

Richo has people he has to balance the books for and show improvement on the field considering the players there buying. I can see how HBG group will be satisfied with another spoon or close to it. If Benji is focused on seeing this club succeed surely he needs to see he may not be the man.for the job, despite us fans wanting him to succeed ..Can we really afford any more spoons.

There is no doubt in my mind that Benji will be gone if he collects another spoon, and he will understand that.

Pretty sure that was Gardiner - Webster was elevated to a game or two when. Cleary left

I thought that Webster filled in before Cleary arrived, being appointed upon Taylor being sacked.

Yep - my bad

Don’t agree on hunt, he has been demoted due to poor coaching. He put hunt as starter, who obviously is an impact player with high weight. Because of injuries and his offloading of Klemmer left us short, he is trying to glass over his errors.
Hunt won’t play great in reges put him back in firsts, he’ll show ya

The problem probably began when the rotation was drastically changed up in the Broncos game. Seeing Royce and Tallyn that had been regularly used both sides of half-time as part of a successful rotation, to then be wasted sitting on the bench until the match was over with about 13 to go.

It was hard to believe when he ran on to start shortly after.

Jumping around hysterically on the sideline waving his arms around isn’t helping.

Must be embarrassing for the players to be so micromanaged, takes leadership away from the captains.

And the more he tries and the more he fails, the more ineffectual he seems.



I don’t think it’s having the desired effect for the most part. Then again, not much he’s doing is bringing home the bacon.

Taylan looks like our best player at the moment and he’s yet to slice through.

He’s another player we didn’t actively recruit and no doubt will be one of our best. Fingers crossed he can salvage something out of the season.

Shhh Benj, let him play his natural game.

Ricky Stuart does the same and his team is going well, what's your solution sack the coach now, do you want to get rid of Richo while your at it.

I like Benji on the sideline.

If it's good enough for Bill Belichick at the Patriots, it's good enough for me.

No doubt his care factor is very low, but I would expect a coach at NRL level to take it personal and go the extra mile to get these types of players motivated.

Well Richo’s on the ropes as well. He promised us a new era and results and very little has emerged.

We were expecting a wrx and we got a vw beetle.

Your just pissed because he won't reply to your emails.

Ricky wins because he knows what he’s doing.

 

[TSP]

Nope, I was pissed at Lee and even he managed to reply to emails.

You can visit the Richo thread and find out my thoughts on him there.

I’m dealing with him pretty fairly.

You have a point V but it's up to Hunt to stick to his diet can't expect Benji to turn up at dinner time to keep an eye on him.

He also has a superior roster to us yes.
