I'd like to buy into having hope for my WT again, so can you explain what they are looking to build and achieve?If they buy in to what we are looking to build and achieve than lets go.
If it's vicarious glory by watching the guys who leave go on and excel elsewhere, then they're doing well with that already.
There's precious little evidence of any other plan that seems to be working with the current mob.

We the fans need to see something soon, something to keep us hopeful.

For better or for worse it looks like Benji and Richo are going all in on the kids, as I have said previously we could follow the path of the Dogs and load up on fringe first graders and journeymen, this may get us up the ladder, however will not deliver longer term consistent success and to be honest the dogs and dragons have improved however are only really where they are because of the abysmal performance this season of clubs like Parra, the broncos, Souths etc... the quality in the comp outside of storm/roosters/panthers has been very ordinary this year. Or we take the path of the Panthers and invest in a few of the special kids coming through the ranks and build a team that will compete for a number of years. I guess each person will have their opinions on this, however if what Bateman is saying is true it does look like Benji is giving the kids the keys to the car (didn't want to say Bus). So new recruits that come in need to buy into this and be willing to play their part supporting, encouraging and developing the kids coming through. We do need a fair sprinkle of experience across the park and that will have to come from outside.I'd like to buy into having hope for my WT again, so can you explain what they are looking to build and achieve?If they buy in to what we are looking to build and achieve than lets go.

Thats half the problem. Whether it’s over a season or a game, the tigers are good at providing a glimmer of hope, only to crush it in the most painful way. It would be easier in some respects if there was no hope.
It's an Olympic year and that first sentence is contending for Gold in the "one sentence when two or more would have made more sense" category. So really you don't know what WT are trying to build and achieve; just guessing. And, I'm the same. Just guessing. And running out of hope.For better or for worse it looks like Benji and Richo are going all in on the kids, as I have said previously we could follow the path of the Dogs and load up on fringe first graders and journeymen, this may get us up the ladder, however will not deliver longer term consistent success and to be honest the dogs and dragons have improved however are only really where they are because of the abysmal performance this season of clubs like Parra, the broncos, Souths etc... the quality in the comp outside of storm/roosters/panthers has been very ordinary this year.
Thoughts on Wiremu Gregg.
Parramatta are shopping him, contracted until 2026.
There is a player there. Boy he can hit. We haven't had anyone that can hit like him for a long time.
I'm keen on him actually, just got to get him fit.
Just looked him up. Average run meters 53. Not sure that would be good enough, he’d need todo a lot more.Thoughts on Wiremu Gregg.

Looks like he is playing less than 20 minutes for that 53 metres, so not as bad as it first looks. His metres per minutes are decent. However it does highlight how he needs to get fitter if he is only playing those minutes.

Parra have been trying this for a long time and are letting him go. There are some big young guys who just never get that level of fitness.
We have to hope that Jordan Miller is not one of those guys.Thoughts on Wiremu Gregg.

Congratulations on calling out my grammar. It's a little tricky when typing on my mobile phone. Unless you are sitting in the room with the coaching staff the best we can do is guess.

Well, fair enough too. I don't hang around here more than once a day usually to see what is happening with WT from a fan/member perspective. While I prefer facts, I know this is a place for opinions.Congratulations on calling out my grammar. It's a little tricky when typing on my mobile phone.

And, here's another of mine: Richardson is a buffoon, a relic of the past who has about 5% of the currency and credibility he thinks he does with players and managers. Whenever I see him he reminds me of Sir Les Patterson, except we knew that was a p*ss-take. Marshall is a hypocrite in demanding his players perform to standards that he never, ever maintained himself. He couldn't coach a rampant choko vine up a wire fence. The reputation of the WT club has been trashed by the history of deluded incompetence of Wests Ashfield, the HBG, Lee, Pascoe, Sheens V2.0, and now Marshall and Richardson.
See you tomorrow!
Sounds like the Johansson deal was not top 30.
Rumour on Facebook that Porter has also been re-signed.

I didn't think it would have been, good signing if that is the case.
