Am I the only one who doesn’t rate da silva

Me either...dont rate him one bit...so glad we have Haywood..not that says much but every game Moses is screaming at him for stuffing up

 

[KevB]

He’s one of few decent humans on the coverage, Kevvie’s another
High on humility with a low figjam factor unlike a lot of them led by Braith & Cooper

I don't think Peter O'Neill would agree with you.

Hornby would be a handy attacking coach, Teo is a really god defensive coach. We need someone whos no nonsense and get a good defensive system into the guys.

Take into consideration the defensive coach cannot do much about it if the coach keeps selecting blokes who don’t want to tackle and the attacking coach cannot do much if the coach keeps selecting blokes who don’t want to run hard or hit top speed quickly.

His passing and footy iq is terrible as well, Moses will be screaming for it in the 20 when they have an overlap and he goes from dummy half

Is that the guy Blocker was sacked for bullying at 2GB?

The clubs should undertake strategic planning in the Camden, Picton, Narellan and new Airport precinct regions and determine the best model moving forward. That is where imo our future is plus Campbelltown but retaining the very important Inner West.

People talking like a property developer, not a football club.

Just because the population grows, how does that help the club? How does a new airport assist us? Please help me.

By your logic, UAE has the fastest population growth in the world and they are building lots of things...why doesn't the NRL move a team there?

Let's just accept this is the 90% owners forcing their agenda on the team...we are the Magpies now...the Wests Tigers name is just symbolic.

 

[Tired Tiger]

I wonder if the club exists in 10 years

It will, unfortunately you don't get out supporting the tiger so easily.... We are financially sound that's all the NRL care about.

Who was the last team that folded due to financial issues, couldn't tell you.

Souths were the last team kicked out of the comp, what year was that ? We know how that ended.

The only way we get success is if HBG sell us because they sure as shit won't change the debenture system....

 

[Tiger Stripes]

fully agree on both

Benji the only handbrake on any new assistants.
My assumption is; when advice is given but not headed over time it becomes a lost cause.
Same with coaching and selections. Players know when it's wrong so play without spirit.
That's why it will be hard to attract any quality---without paying well overs or with get out clauses.

The heritage deed concerns me.
It was enacted 12 years ago...and expires in 4 years.
There doesnt seem to be any great rush to extend this

Getting close to the mark. Benji knows best.

Uh plus money and not being a desirable club to even go to.

Gee there seems to be a lot of people in the know here -
Scroll back to Maguire when he was failing here and all the inside info on him being paranoid about assistants, being past the game, unapproachable yaddah yaddah and can guarantee that it was 99% assumption too.
Benji will be fine when he gets packed off with the money he will be owed (-just like Maguire who was predicted to never coach again on here -) will still own the best highlight real in the game, be respected by his peers for his impact on the game, and those who really know what has gone on will be puzzled how he lasted so long. .. And WTs trying to sell a fantasy to the next person who thinks they can make a difference

I luv Benji,and want him to succeed,as my previous posts would show,but the one thing that has been his weakness,while so many strengths,would be to alow mediocrisy creep in,while trying to be a new age coach,because men will allways respect discipline,we need it to function and not take our foot off the pedal,that’s what’s missing Benji,You’re the coach,allways saying they are entitled to their opinion is not allways right,They need a barometer,each player
