Regardless of who he played for, it is another example of a life that needs to be turned around for the young man and many like him, sadly. Easier said than done, though.

Now that's a worry ;-( When we become comfortably numb...

Too funny!

The lack of an authoritarian figure within the team - and needn't be the captain but it would help - may explain it insaneink. Or even action beyond what happens on the field - such as the club fining players. On top of all of this, there is the lack of ready made replacements. Come to think...

Well...much as people may enjoy the dressing room face slapping exercise from the "good old days"...the reality is that you can't be asking for more than a tough, physical encounter. We can't afford some washed up reserve grader come in and put a cheap shot on a rising star, and I am sure the...

Well, since this thread is about Psychology...And to quote from many online resources. "There are many examples, and loads of movies, where the work of a sports psychologist has been hailed as being instrumental in both individual and team success. Thus, many, and I guess the OP, are convinced...

The forum is already in therapy, since 2005...

They are only putting in for 40m. Not exactly sure what happens at half time!!

I can understand having patience, but also I am symphatetic to the failing a team that hasn't had any success since 2005. I think a lot of the frustration is coming from not seeing some sort of consistent performance, and errors that are not in keeping with first grade level. As for age, I am in...

Is this a vote of no confidence in Benji?

I can confirm that. Although I wish I couldn't.

I used to think that it was a mental problem. After today, apart from this, I suspect a tackling 101 clinic wouldn't go astray. Hard to see us beating too many (if any) teams on current form. And top of that, there are players who are also going backward, in performance. Benji has a mountain to...

Newcastle Knights Matches: 36 Wests Tigers Overall (2000-2023) 19 Won 17 11 Home Wins 8 8 Away Wins 9 Doesn't get much even than this.. Looks like the cards have been shuffled a little. It will come down to who wants it more (cliché time.. ;-) )

Strange season this...Feels like the attitude is one of "Che sara' sara'.." I get the sense that overall if this season where to end today, there wouldn't be too many complaints. This week will be the same as next week, and the one before and the ones from many years before that. Is it a case...

Well, it's a sad state of affairs when all that we can look forward to is the past...

will Benji's coaching come under the microscope? Perhaps even starting this thread may be seen as a symptom of future malcontent. However I am hoping we don't pull the trigger (as we've done previously), and understand that this is a long term work in progress. Unlike previous years, we are at...

I should start by saying I've never been a fan - most probably because it is something that EVERY time uses, so there must be something good in it. The NRL has introduced a few rules around it lately but to my mind it is a lottery everytime (and maybe that's the attraction), and another one...

All things considered, we are 14th. Still above Knights, Titans and most surprisingly, Souffs. On par with Parra and 2 points away from heavyweight such as Roosters and Cows. And yet I am sure that they would be expecting to be much higher. They need to put in and so do we , for this game. But...

But do you think we have the forwards that can win in the middle? Yes, I agree that a power game, when you have a huge pack, will get the backs going too. Just not sure that by continuing to have "patches" of forward play (your 2-3 GOOD runs) we are going to win games. However, I agree that we...

But surely some variation in play - look for example at the kick from Reynolds for Madden to score - don't require more than a few weeks of drilling to put in action? Or am I overestimating some player's IQ??
