Wow , are all clubs reserve grade coaches part time ? Only ask cause I don’t have a clue , and do reserve grade train like first grade or are they only part time , I see how many people are around Benji then look to our back up / reserve to have part time coach , geez that don’t make sense at all , can’t be money surely , what would a good reserve grade coach be worth these days 120 k maybe , any one know his background and what he did in footy as a player and previous coaching record

I think a lot of the players are, I remember Hope saying he was happy to get a top 30 spot as it meant he could be full time. 🤷‍♂️

One question , is our reserve grade coach part time only , I’ve heard it but don’t believe it , this would be a disgrace , these guys should be coached every day just like first grade , other thing I ask is who the hell is he and what’s his back ground and coaching background , I’ve not heard of him

I’m sure his price was right for the owners

I think its rare a p/t reserves coach...though i may be wrong.
Pretty sure Aaron Payne last year was f/t

Hmmmm and if the Magpies are going to be any good you'd think they'd put more money into it. On the surface it is insane in such a high profile professional competition that your reserves team coach would be part-time.

Spot on these guys are our top team back up , and a coach who is part time screams cheap , wait till Vegas comes around and you see all the board from wests Ashfield lining up to head over all expenses paid , that will be $ 100 k to 120 k min for those plonkers to get on the gravy train , I’m surprised Benji has not pushed for a better reserve grade set up , full time coach 100% , and a full time team manager

This is the type of things happening in the club that make you shake your head, not enough funds for a reserve grade full time coach it's crazy, they are responsible for getting players ready to transition into 1st grade it's so important.

I don't want to drag up the owner's debate again they are doing a reasonable job of late, but I want owners with deeper pockets and the only priority is Wests Tigers, no other distractions/drain on funds.

We do love a garden gnome.

I feel a bit for kids that have to think about a new career, when they have been dreaming of NRL their whole life. So many junior rep stars don't make it. But had a mate who worked in Bunnings and really liked the place.

How bad was Mystery Prop, he never played a single game of NRL and was still better than packer

Mystery Prop takes me back! ha!

Like when Tim Sheens played Danny Galea in the front row. Good times!

One of the stupidest things Sheens ever did and the worst part of it was some of our supporters blamed Danny because it did not work.

Yeah and it wasn't the era of the 'small mobile prop'. It was the era of Petero and Steve Price.

I actually liked galea as a player....

 

[Demps]

I see your man Toa is back in the NRL extended team … must have been impressing the coaches in NSW Cup?

I doubt it

Yea, and I liked Taniela Tuiaki as a player. ..

I would not pick him in the front row!
