Well done. So often we forget about the family and sacrifices made to get them there.

If we have to we buy out Tumeth' option, we do it, think very hard about Sezer, especially if Sullivan stays, and of course fight to keep Stefano if he wants to stay. Tumeth has done nothing and extending him into next years roster wont change that. The dead wood in roster have to be moved on...

And the stadium imbroglio we find ourselves in may have been a non issue. Having said that I'm all on board the WT and happy with our merger.

I think it was almost solely getting another known big name

Think its the only way to get some experience in to guide Benji and the others. Cant and shouldnt sack Benji, certainly at this stage and for next year at least, but how else can we get in an experienced old hand to provide the mentoring and leadership of the coaching staff? As I questioned who...

He won't come. Is yet another player from successful club and career that only wants easy life and success. It annoys me that you rarely see giving back to the lesser teams as good players start to peak and be replaced in glamour clubs and don't think / want to help the lesser clubs. Easy life.

I've no doubt that now he is permanent in his role, he and others are starting to put a line through those that just aren't cutting it in terms of the squad both NRL and State Cup. The coaching staff is another issue with Benji being new I don't see any changes to those he has picked in his...

Hard decisions need to be made. Too any in the top 30 are not cutting it, either as depth / progression and are also stinking up State Cup reserve grade team to be competitive.

Is Kepoa our only útility'capable for covering backline as well as backrow? If so we need another one- hopefully a bit better

Im only catching bits of the game but have to say that the impression of our attacking ability being very, very limited is being reinforced each minute of this game. We just dont have enough / any game breakers in the squad. Toilers but no-one able to break a game open and keep the other team...

Agree, and even better will be a final decision on home ground. From memory by 30 June I think for announcement.

Probably. Even now at best winning most of remaining games I'd reckon 9 or 10 on ladder. Hope for 4 more games to win.

It does depend on whether he wants to stay or not. If he triggers the escape clause, then he can go the moment that happens as far as I care, but if he wants to stay and work for it, he is welcome and very much appreciated by me. FWIW I reckon he will stay.

Wouldnt object- especially if Ute didnt want to stay and WT had made a competitive / reasonable offer.

I think though that some of the non performers in the top 30 ranks do have to be culled by end of this season. It is not only affecting the NRL team but the State Cup Magpies team are badly affected by carrying them too. Positions 20 to 30 in the squad will obviously spending most of their time...

From a dim distant memory- wasnt it Farah that had a troublesome back in later years. If Api is going down the same path wouldnt wish that on anyone.

Think Tumuth would be a good case to release as not set the world on fire, the issue of Sullivan / Sezer for next year will have to be resolved with one of them gone, as well as the issue of Twal / Seyfarth somewhat competing against each other for same similar role, Matamua, Klemmer and Toa...

I have to say, my general impression of our squads throughout the various comps is a lack of size / power / strength compared to so many others. Do we deliberately go out of our way to select the smaller, less powerful players in a time where the big, good players simply run over / through good...

There are 4 of those we can win plus a bye. Reckon Saints just will powerhouse us again. Certainly any home ground does not give us any advantage these days.

I wanted to save comment until the game was out of the way. The signing of Richardson long term is an amazing fillip for the Wests Tigers club. His professionalism, acumen and knowledge / contacts have been of great assist in the last few months and we/I can only expect more ot come over the...
