WTF Is going on ?

Don't turn up. The problem is that they created attention for the wrong reasons. It's poor form though.
Only because Paranoia is setting into the club .If we were 4th on the table it wouldn’t matter...Packer can have pain after operations ..that’s feasible ..And Reynolds wants to go home at half time. At least he turned up ..The boys and coach would be fine with that ..Fk everyone else

I don't agree with this at all. Those guys are probably our top two highest paid players. They haven't delivered. We mount a comeback for the ages and those guys left at half time, the media spots it and it's an issue.

You can't sack them and being honest sacking them would be over the top.

They did the wrong thing though. They admitted it as well.

We should move on though. Truthfully we can't get rid of those two and I think if they are good enough to make the top team they should be picked. I also don't think they are good enough to make the top team.

Just really poor signings.

I guess the question to ask is ,, Is it better for a player to turn up and watch half a game .....or be one of the dozen or so other players that didnt turn up at all?
For the money they are on, they should be driving the bus, if not playing:)

Is there someone within the Tigers passing on this 5hit to the journalist ?
I think that is the key point - who inside the club is leaking this damaging stuff to the media?
1: That Benji was not being re-signed
2: That there was a meeting re player concerns
3: That 2 players left Brookvale early

I wonder who is friends with the Fox journalists?

Just on journalists, there was an article today about the Fox guys giving it to the SMH guys for trying to undermine Griffin's job at the Dragons. Pot calling the kettle stained.

Know for a fact that re point 2 last wk involving the stepping on eggshells whine it was Mcqueen who leaked
Finally opens his mouth after taking the club’s money and they did the right thing for him by letting him go early, a bit ordinary.

I read that article ..
https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/an...th-but-he-s-no-nrl-coach-20200831-p55r07.html

Webster, Strong words I thought he could be taken to court for discrediting Hook in that manner. Griffin got the job as Dragons coach so that’s going to be extra interesting...I wish we had signed him He hasn’t failed yet ..I like how he comes across

Reynolds has been worse than Benji on the field and there is no excuse for him walking out like he did.
Well that’s not right ! The team has performed far better as a whole with Reynolds in the side. I’m no rap for the bloke but if you compare teams performance with him v Benji in the side, the side performs better with Reynolds in it

Gee, they have to sign JAC and beat Souths in order to get the 'management issues' out of the press.

E.G.
“It’s the wrong thing to do and I think it’s a reflection on where that club is at the moment on a couple of fronts,” Gallen told WWOS Radio.

“First of all, I think the information has come internally. I’ve got no doubts someone internally at that club let the journalist who released it know.

“There is no way Phil Rothfield is sitting at home scouring the television making sure Josh Reynolds and Russell Packer are here, there and everywhere. Someone internally has told him I believe.
I believe this 100% as well.

I don't believe this. It's a subjective opinion. I think Reynolds has been terrible. If you think he has done a good job or the team performs better that is fine.

Didn't Fox sports show them leaving ? I don't know but I don't understand why the club would highlight this.

It ain’t subjective go have a look at the outcomes, especially the points scored against us. Benji has not played in a game where a team has scored less than 20 against us except for the Brisbane match. Every other game Benji has played the opposition has scored 20,+ against us. Last time I checked Reynolds had played in one or two matches ( if I remember rightly it was 1/7) where a team has scored 20+ against us. Granted Benji can get us a try or two, but teams load up when he is playing. Benji is ok in attack but diabolical in defence, when a team focuses on pushing at Benji are whole defence breaks down
