I think there is a developing problem we have as a club:
1) Benji is a club legend, gets put into head coaching too early and is learning on the job but directionally he looks to be improving. Doubts remain however whether he is willing to get the right support around him to get the best coaching system given he appears somewhat insecure in that role (jobs for mates etc)
2) despite the inexperience Benji turns out to be a good recruiter and strikes a chord with certain players, and has actually built a squad that appears to want to play for him specifically. That has some advantages (player buy in) but also could create an issue if there is insufficient authority with the coach
3) what happens when/if the club wants to move on from Benji? We have a roster here full of players that are here mostly to play for Benji? It will be an epic blowup that will tear the senior playing group apart and we will be back to square one. I get that maybe we had no choice and that Benji was the only one who could pull together a roster of this quality but it is a very very big problem if our 2025 blows up because of what’s happened in the last few weeks.
I remember just a few weeks ago there were comments on the pod to the effect of how good it is just to be able to talk about footy again.
How things have changed in such a short time and it looks like talking about just footy is a hope for season 2026 now.
It was nice while it lasted but this is the Wests Tigers after all!!!!! 🐅 🐯 🐅 🐯

We were very happily talking football until one L. Galvin pulled the rug out from the club and fans.

Why can't we win the big events?
Last week was AD'S 100th game and this week its Alex Twal's 150th. Historically we don't really lift for the milestone games. Add to that we are at LO and also the return of Galvin. Recipe for disaster.
All things considered, the build up to this game has been relatively low key in the media.Why can't we win the big events?

we don’t like pressure. It’s bizarre because it’s not like it’s the same players every year. New ones come and go but the results are the same.
We did ok for brooks milestone against the cows.
