Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

AD is a 5/8, Luai is a 5/8, Latu is a 5/8, Andrews is a 5/8.

That's the problem.

Poor recruitment. No plan. Random ad hoc chaos

Its a real problem. Benji even said he picks the team week to week, like he has no long term plan. Our only hope is Latu or Javon have skills that they can translate well to 7. Latu has had snippets of time the past 3 years organising us a little from 7 or 13, and has looked good doing it. It will take some time though, week to week qearing the 7 is a different story, but he has had a taste. You never know with Javon, he may have good 7 attributes as well, but has always been played 6 because he is tall, as silly as that sounds. We will find out a lot over the next couple of weeks which one will be our 7 next year with Javon getting his chance.

- benjigate , i have also heard adam has requested a release, issac moses contacted the club, which is why its leaked so quickly, adam feels like jarome should be dropped and adam should play , believe shaun m stepped in and has told adam to take a week off believe twal or seyfarth was the other team member who had words

- saukuru signed a dev deal next year with parra

opinion, benji should never been our first grade coach, the roster , the club , the man management is too much of a responsibility to place on a rookie coach

Sad but at the end of the day, all of those players are replaceable.

HBG have a lot to answer for. Both the early decision to appoint benji without experienced support, but more so their disruption that led to no choice but to extend him massively.

Benji would also be much better placed if Richo was still there

I think its the wrong decision to move Doueihi now, but his behaviour is untenable. Its now a lose-lose for the club:

Cave in and give him what he wants

Give him his release and go in short of experience and halves for next year.

Has to be option 2 - but its just so poor from Doueihi

Just so shows how far we have fallen so quickly.

Tbh if Doueihi was at lock and Luai at 6 javon would have 2 leaders either side of him.
What it exposes in douehi is his lack of team first mentality which if left in the side long term may be a drawback.
Whether Benji is right or wrong you’ve got to respect his position because it’s his job on the line if the losses pile up. The players don’t feel the brunt of it directly

 

[pawsandclaws1]

There is a lot of optimism down south about the young Dragons forwards and prospects for next year. It is nice to listen to the upbeat mood of supporters and also their universal support for WTs to get out of our funk. I think there are a lot of goodwill toward our club.

 

[Ermo]

Nikorima is not coming to Wests Tigers even as a 33y.o to be a back uk and even if he did, his defence as a small 33y.o makes Doueihi’s defence look rock solid.
You are dreaming if you think replacing Douehi with a 33y.o Nikorima makes us a better team,

Have you read some of your own suggestions over the last few hundred pages?

So instead of signing Saukuru on a min wage contract, we let him go to play on a dev contract at another club? Mind-boggling our recruitment retention. If AD goes, and hearing Seyfarth and Twal backed AD, there could be 3 players leaving at the end of the year, not just AD. Benji's team selections have been poor... playing alot of players that are just not up to standard. AD shouldn't have acted like this; that's for sure, but it seems like benji has failed as a coach this year

Who is saying this ?

He’s a clown, what player is going to him to give him quotes for a news article. At least make it believable moley

How does he get to utilise the nine website ? They pay him? 😂

Do have a question for you Kade7 who is the lower player we have signed from another team??

 

[Vicious]

Yeah to get some, faster, younger, hungrier players to to the club, not players at the back end of their career.

I reckon there is a split between the Lebo's and islanders. But thats just a gut feeling, no mail

 

[Odessa]

Terrell & Taylan on whatsapp tonight to Tyrone “Hey bro, have you a get-out clause in your Hull KR contract for next season? Spot may be available as a hybrid lock/half with us next season!”

I said the other day he's coming

 

[king_sirro]

For the money we have Twal on he is definitely not replaceable. He and Sam are our only aggressive forwards. If Twal was on big money then ok, but we are not finding a suitable replacement for what he is on

 

[loyal wests tiger]

This is going to be a very interesting time for benji to see if he has got control of the team or the players
I have been a fan of AD but this isn't the way a senior player acts
What happens in a game the lock gets injured and he gets moved to lock does he spit the dummy and walk off the field
Grow up players aren't bigger than the game
