Wests Tigers Forum POTY 2024

You don't post 4 ages and come up with that smh

He is correct though…Api is an awful captain.

 

[Tucker]

Galvin. He makes the songs that make the whole world sing.

 

[Tucker]

No one deserves POTY this season. They’ve all been diabolical in their own ways..
My closest is maybe Bula, but he has also been poor.

I dunno about that. When you're carrying the weight
You're more liable to make a bad decision here and
there. Api was rock of Gibraltar all season. Good man

He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t inspire. Look at him in the presser’s…like a shy little lamb. Never says anything interesting, nothing of note. No intellectual insights…just cliches and platitudes.
He is an onfield leader of sorts but no captain.

We're both frustrated but I think that's slack. We could
have operated a little differently, sure, but to lay that
performance on the captain is slack, he has shown
Benji nothing but loyalty, perhaps that's part of the prob.
Part of it anyway. Our team will be different in 2025
that's all I'm interested about. Tuff season, we move on

 

[Kaito]

Never says anything interesting

Everytime we sign someone he rolls out the old "he's
a good player, even better person" shtick. Benji didn't
have one spray in him all season. Parra put 60 on
us at home. He needs help but I'm worried where
it will come from and whether or not he'll allow it

Gotta call it as I see it.
I’m not putting it all on him. Our spine has been rubbish all year and our pack have underperformed. Our defence is embarrassing which comes back on the coaching staff who surely must be shitting themselves right now as reality is sinking the boot in deep.
We’ll be dogshit again next year. Look at the forwards we’ve lost and who is replacing them.

 

[Kaito]

He was way too casual in the lead up to this game
against Parramatta, there was something on the
line and we came out flat. It's upsetting @Tucker

I'm not as pessimistic as you about next year in all
honesty, I know you call it as you see it but you need
to clear your lenses, full strength next year we go ok

Maybe he's coming in with the nice approach.
Getting Use to everyone.

Then once he's settled, he'll start handing out disciplines.

Can you please enlighten me as to why?
Keep in mind I don’t have Luai on quite the same pedestal many of you do.

He breast fed them all season. We needed a rev up
a few times this year & he didn't give it. Be honest

It's going to be different just know that, surely lol

Year 1.... go easy
Year 2... go hard
Year 3... no excuses, full blown roast mode

That sounds very hopeful.

 

[Kaito]

I can dig it big dawg @Demps

 

[Tucker]

What is our prop rotation next year?
What does the pack and bench forwards look like?

I agree. Luai and Bird are not the sort of players that take losing in their stride. They will demand more from their teammates and hopefully instill a more competitive nature. Maybe some of the youngsters will finally get coached. Fingers crossed or new coach for 2026.
