The thing I can't get over is appointing his mates as assistants, rather than going out and getting people who well may be a threat to him, but have runs on the board.

Having said that, the main problem starts with the ownership. While the HBG have the licence I fear we'll be bottom 4 forever. It's clear that they're not on board in having a continually strong team as their main and only priority.

Until you have that, we'll be down the bottom and may jag a semi final appearance once every 15 to 20 years.
I will gladly take the finals appearance every 15-20yrs coz it means we are only 1-6 yrs away from playing finals footy again.I actually think that’s a very optimistic timeframe as I just don’t see an end to the dark abyss this shithole is in.

You're probably right. I did say 'jag' a finals appearance though :D

If you could find a cross between Gould and Alex Ferguson to manage the team, and have it coached by the love child of Bennett, Bellamy, and Gibson, and have all the players listed in the last team of the century, I still reckon they'd struggle to make Wests Tigers work. We're cursed. Or is it doomed? Maybe both.

I'll say this for Benji. I think there were some big calls to make this week and I think he made the right ones. He moved AD out of the centres and bought in May and playing AD at lock is a big call.

I hope it works out but I think it's the right decision to make.
