I’m glad I haven’t missed anything!

There’s a lot to this club. The panthers took ages to emerge. I’m happy to have a front row seat of the emergence when it happens.

I’m used to so many false dawns like you I guess, but that’s the shared journey.

Plus WT fans are generally great people.

Our day will come. It is imminent.
A LOT of work to do. But, Im pleased with the direction our club is heading in under Richo.

Well we are still a bit punch drunk but finally staggering up the hill instead of being NRL roadkill from a management perspective.

Richo has strengths and weaknesses. We still need member accountability and to smash the matey. Easier said than done.

I think this game will really show where we are at. Parra were god awful against Melbourne, but it is Melbourne. They would have flogged most teams, including us.

So much of the team's confidence is riding on this game. I'm really really hoping for a massive game from Luai and Api. A win sparked largely by these two will be huge for us

My top wish is we win and Galvin plays shit.. And keeps playing shit untill he’s dropped. Fk him

It's f**ken annoying isn't it. I also think most of the crap we read is just BS to pull our string. It's still f**ken annoying though.

He has done nothing so far as well. Look at how Ponga played last week. That is a star.

Won’t surprise if Richo makes a statement about what cnts Nrl 360 & the league writers in Murdochs propaganda journal are especially the pig Ritchie & the degenerate Rothshit

Additionally due to the filthy media’s negative fixation on us I’ve never wanted anyone to succeed as much as I currently want Benji to prosper & emulate the ‘05 victory as a coach.The one thing about Benji is if we turn things around he is such a likeable person & mentor that I’ve no doubt we won’t struggle to retain or continue to attract elite players

It's just shit. I don't even watch it now. I pay for Kayo but I only watch the games.

I'd love us to have a good season or even 20 good seasons. I'd be happy with that. How good is it that we've been able to sign quality players. It's a change. We have a good squad now. I hope Benji can work it out.

He’s an inexperienced coach who I’ve reluctantly criticised but the undeniable fact is he is a magnet re luring elite players especially Pacific Islanders.This is such a pivotal season re his coaching career & hence I hope we surge up the ladder this season.

Ex Rooster buddy has us winning this by 12 to 18 points.

He thinks the eels will put up a fight for most of the first half before revisiting some bad habits.

So if he's right, we need to need to hold the fort for awhile before getting more creative and taking risks.

Play through our sets and try to keep them in abeyance near their line.

We have by far the more creative and enigmatic attacking side, but we have to learn to walk before we can run.

And no more of this ol 55 missed tackle nonsense. Hodgo can walk if it happens again. Its not first grade standard.

Benji got the job on the matey and we are seeing the results.

But he’s fared a lot better at recruitment and we’d be better keeping him in that role and maybe some other important tasks.

The trick is getting him to step aside with grace. If he does, it will be easier for him to come back one day in coaching with more experience and sage.

I don’t want to see him butchered, just re-deployed.

A couple of years in juniors, Reggie’s, compete against other applicants and maybe take the reins with a stronger side than he inherited this time around.

And maybe without “rats in the ranks” aka Galvin and co.

If Benjis dropped he will move on. There’s no way he wiil look at lower grades. He will know he tried but wasn’t good enough. It’s not “give up on him time” yet tho . Soon but not yet
