Yeh Tm, looks a bit weird hey. He may be decelerating and the quad has dropped a little.
The players voted him as having the best gun rig.

Luke Laulilii looks like a real top notch football player. He's fit, fast and goes hard, he and Staines will probably fight it out for a wing spot.

Eiden Ackland, is this guy any good? He looks like he could go well.

Benji Marshall, would he take out the title as the fittest NRL coach? He looks like he could go around again ha ha.

Solomona Faataape could be Olam's permanent centre partner if To'a doesn't play for whatever reason.
Great photos, thanks for pointing them out mate.

TBH, I have never heard of this podcast, and haven’t listen to this yet, but if you’re interested?

I like it that they have finally clued on that preseason photos have a lot of new guys in them and without names the pics are near pointless.
Having said that, there's only a couple that I didn't recognise compared to previous years. Well done media team.
The camera they use seems to make all our lads look like the are going to be up for the physicality this year. Normally we look like pathway lads and not seasoned first graders.
There's a few on rep duty.
Luai ~ Samoa
Skelton ~ Samoa
Hunt ~
Bula ~ Fiji
Turuva ~ Fiji
Saukuaru ~ Fiji
Porter ~ Cook Islands
Any others?
I really want to see players like Hunt and Skelton rip in over the off season.

I gave up really quickly. I found it boring. I'll give it another go later.

Quoting myself because I'm a knob. I just finished this and I don't think I've finished a single other WT podcast.

I love the way one of them stated we will make the top 8 if our forwards can compete. I'm not that confident and not from worrying about the forwards. I just think it's a new team and we have to see how they bond.

My biggest issue is the coaching staff. Benji last year was diabolical at times. That last game and telling them to just play footy was hilariously bad.

Well I think it's the lazy approach that the whole joint was doing from the front office down to the players.
The following is what I want to see.
Raise the bar, raise the effort and raise our own expectations.
Richo has cleaned out the front office and now it's the players turn.

The DT are reporting:

Wests Tigers issue breach notices to five players....

'The Wests Tigers have put their entire playing roster on notice regarding a shift in the wooden spoon winning club's expectations with five players failing not meeting pre-season fitness goals'

SMH and Brent Read both reporting dogs have dropped out of the Tyrell May race and it between us and Dragons. Would be Confident we’ll get him if that’s the case. If we can nab May we should be a decent shot at the 8.

I didn't think Latu Fainu would be one of those 5 players to be sanctioned by the club.

I hope his brother Samuela isn't rocked by this. That's an issue I'm sure will raise it's head at some point during their three brother's tenure at the club as well as bloody managers meddling in our affairs.
