Next Year might be better, well we've all heard that before. Providing we can sort out our halves I think it will be because...

Our marquee forwards will have a full preseason training together,

Players who have stepped up this year will be more experienced, Pole, Junior Tupou, Blore, Stefano etc. We actually have a top forward pack and they are yet to properly gel.

Maybe Feledy could make a surprising inclusion. Others??

Are there any other positives that you can think of to give us hope. 🤔

If we could sort out our halves - this team is a completely different team that would compete for top 8.

So in one way it's no that dire.

The issue is that we have no halves options available.

So if we are a development club that coaches qnd develops players- benji should be made full time halves coach for the next 2 years.

Top 8 2023

There are no halves in the club with the potential for development.

@garry What about  Luke Keppie in SG Ball? A long way to go yet but I read he scored a hatrick and kicked 6 goals recently. 

I'd love to hear from a fellow forumer if this guy has a big future.

He is still a long way off, I was talking of someone that could have an impact in the next 3 years.

It's annoying when we win HMatts GF, hear talk about guys like Feledy are guns and Sheens comes out and says our pathways is extremely healthy, then all of a sudden the talk is we've got nothing.

Is this because we are anxious for someone to cover injuries and poor form or did these young players just disappeared off the planet 🤔

I'd be happy to hear that the club is working overtime in providing the best resources to achieve pathway success.

I then see last weekend a young fella Jordan Hill in KOE do his knee then hear diddly squat about his prognosis.

The info is probably there regarding games and player profiles but if I haven't heard or seen it, it can't be too visible.

If you go to the WT Website at hit the drop down box then teams, you will see NRL and KOE player profiles... BUT not pathway teams. Even KOE players don't have profile pics.

Seriously how hard is it. This forum has a magnificent player profile section and garry and co do it as a community service, in their spare time, so surely paid staff at WT could do it.

We need to be more professional in injury updates, player profiles and game dame info dissemination.

If Pathways is our future, then support them TODAY!

Yeh of course mate. Just wondering if anyone has a wrap on the guy.
