General Positive Vibes

[Beastmode]

Hope Warriorsfan92 doesmnt mind but I think we need a thread devoted to quality posts and positive vibes.
This post is one of many I want to track going forward.

Indeed the future is bright and we shouldn’t lose sight of that no matter how bad things may seem now. This message also radiates with me in life. Tough times now but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Keep the faith.

This post gives me huge hope for the future. What Penrith have done took 6 years. People made a mockery of Phil goulds 5 year plan, now look at them. They’ve got the best junior pathways in the competition, if not ever. The bulldogs are only going well because they’ve benefited from an external pathway program, the panthers. Kikau, Burton, Crichton, and their head coach. The dogs would still be cellar dwellers without the Penrith system.

That top post has seven future starters, all under the age of 22. Whilst some are not quite NRL ready right now, give them a year or 2, and look out. Our nsw cup side are sitting 4th, with all the chopping and changing going on at first grade due to a variety of reasons. Many of these players are jersey flegg eligible yet are playing against men.

We all want instant success, but this is only due to the lack of success we’ve experienced the last decade. We’ve tried to recruit our way to premierships, this has been short lived. Our seasons have yo-yo’d from top 8 to bottom 8, almost every year. The head coach is locked in for the next 5 years+, we have a full developmental system aligned with other major clubs. Our 17s are the reigning champions, and the above players are on the path to future NRL players.

Unfortunately we will need to wait a few more years to see success at the top grade imo, whilst our pathways are set up to provide long term consistency.

The reality is, what we’ve been doing hasn’t been working. we now have the model for success, however we now just need to wait for these future first graders to develop.

This might seem like another ‘just be patient’ post, but when you actually stop and reflect on the organisational changes the club is making, you can start to see the plan they’re deploying & the future is extremely bright for the warriors

How much time will you give him, surely if he has another couple of bad seasons we may need a rethink?

He's shown what he can do he won the Daly M with a average nrl team.
So the coach is not the issue, that's the problem that's plagued this team for year's how many different coaches do you want here?
Ivan had his bad seasons and fans were calling for his head,
Don't you think it's better to build this team from the ground up? The pathways are being built the youngsters aren't being thrown to the wolves in 1st grade only to develop second year syndrome, all we need is a bit more recruitment and strength and conditioning/defense and we will be fine.

Positive All Day

An owner who is putting his money where his mouth is.

Junior teams, Harold Matt’s winning.
They have great halves(at that level).

Lots of 18/19/20 year olds playing NSW Cup.

Laban, Maiu, Halasima, Sifakula getting
first grade action(wish it was more).

Roache starting and winning.

Lussick starting.

AFB maintaining a ridiculously high standard despite what’s happening around him.

SJ getting the chance to go out with a home win.
This can be his last game.
We should sell it as such.
Pointless him playing the Sharks away:

I believe almost every coach has had bad seasons other than maybe Craig Bellamy. So I find it funny when people start calling for Webby's head.
