Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Satire and Parody of you aside - Why is it an act of groupthink for Wests Tigers fans to support Benji Marshall as our coach when the club has been inexorably getting better with him in charge.?? Actually why?? Give me two well defined and measurable reasons why supporting Benji as a coach means you've joined 'The Sheeple"? What does someone who has not Joined the Sheeple see that us sycophants don't?? I think its just a bunch of made up nonsense on your part Tucker. Don't give a glib one sentence answer Tucker, prove me wrong...

Honestly,

We need to turn the insults off for all of this.

Just turn it all off. We have suffered 3 spoons, we should be totally skeptical of Benji being able to deliver.

The board has said Benji is the coach for the next 4 years. I say that's the worst NRL decision this decade and I say that NOT as a sledge to Benji.

But, as you say, we have improved in 2025. That is reason for hope.

While I think the Offspring wrote a song about a guy who's as pathetic as us Wests Tigers fans, we need to give people a free pass who still believe our club can raise the trophy in 2026. I peg our side at coming 9th-10th, and that could be Delusional.


We love the WT, like a desperate boyfriend who's "dumb donut" takes out the entire party and crawls back at 4am... We will be screaming for our team. It's bad, it's us.

With coaches now being able to have 6 bench spots named to use only 4 I can see him get a run if he sets the world on fire early in reggies.

He wasn’t brought back to be a nsw cup player long term and Benji likes to play youth.

Yay, awesome rule change.

I hated the whole "pick 4"
particularly as Halfback, Fullback, Hooker and others are specialist positions.

Running with 6 where you have a half, a back and a forward spare is a great idea. It does mean your Depth gets tested a little more, so you have 1-19 that could take the field.

2026, I may actually agree to some depth signings.

And if we’re having a good year there will be no credit for it by the anti Benji group. 😂
It’s the praying on his downfall vibes that’s what is weird to us supporters, we should all want the team and coach to succeed.

What a load of crap. Credit is always given where due by us so called negative posters.
No one is praying for his downfall and what this “us supporters”? That is just childish garbage.
The real negative haters of this club show up when the season begins.
You’ll find them in the live game day thread going ballistic at how shit this club is by the 10th minute of the game. Those discussing the squad now are not a part of that group of fans.

Only 17 can still be used out of 19

extremely silky and has the mentality to succeed (broke his back as a teenager, handles clutch moments supremely well), but he's got that big tall lumbering body that can go either way in grade. when you're a half in that body shape, it can be extremely difficult to bed down and remain in the halves. look at Wighton, Burton, even Curtis Sironen.

really hope he makes a fist of it, but I do think at this point he'll be lucky to get a debut in 2026, as much as I like him. especially if Doueihi starts in the halves over Latu which looks to be the case.

That started out promising and then became increasingly depressing, especially the ultimate bit.

When the time comes, it will be more than just Tucker and myself. It’s all fine in January, most are vehemently against seeing any negatives at this time of year. After a few losses in May and June, the outlook is very different. He won’t have many friends here if we’re languishing in the bottom 4.

In my opinion Shaun M needs to remove the mid season Bula contract distraction before the season or Benji 2026 will suffer the same fate as Benji 2025 and again there’s going to be ready made excuses.

If worst comes to worst I’d even explore a trade in the pre-season if there are real signs Isaac is trying to move him.

Looking Strong they line up to play under Mal
 
Every time I come back to this forum someone is having ago at Tucker. So I scroll back and back and back looking for what they have said thats so outrageous they deserves to be dog piled.

Sure their posts can be curt at times but they are always related to a personal take of the club and rugby league in general. I could be wrong but I have yet to see a personal attack from them. They clearly dont need me advocating for a fair go and im no ones white knight.

On this forum i have seen what appears to be drug fueled ramblings, I have seen people laughing at people getting killed, I have seen people abuse other people for supporting T_rump the list goes on.

But Tucker an active forum user who doesnt seem to post off topic, is the forum whipping post.
