Webster: It's an opportunity to say thank you

Andrew Webster on final home game for Shaun Johnson, Addin Fonua-Blake and Jazz Tevaga.

Good listen from Webster here too. Good to hear him owning his own mistakes

Interesting comments from Webby. My ears pricked up at “you learn more from winning than from losing” which translates to me that Webby is starting to realise that winning comes above everything.

We never seem to handle these 'special occasion' type games, but I hope the last game against the Dogs is still fresh in their minds. It looks on paper like our forwards should out muscle theirs? … halves/backs not so sure about.

Going to be interesting. Last game we should have beat them despite our horrendous run of in game injuries to our two wingers and fullback. Full house, nothing to lose, last home game for 3 of our players....

Interesting at one point SJ talks about the departing players and says the ones we know of. I reckon we could see more players released?

We can only hope this is the case. Well for some of the backs.

Can someone post Addin's farewell interview like SJ's and Jazz's have been if you stumble across it.

MM DWZ could be easily replaced

Add RTS in and yes I would agree.

In an article today. Who would they let go early if they found a home?

Always dependent on who they can get. Of all those listed I would keep Pompey (Provided he is cheap), Ali (Needs his D sorted but no brainer to keep him), CHT (Short term to allow the halves coming through time), Sifakula, Taine, TMM and Ale. Walker a maybe. Hard no on Tohu and Bunty. The rest only if we cannot get anyone better.

Thanks. Enjoyed all 4 videos.

I must agree
Not sure I have seen RTS actually make any backline breaks like everyone was expecting
So he is a waste keeping him at centre

It’s the same unimaginative, dour and predictable line up.

I already know the result!

I guess it means he hasn’t learnt much this season.

Winning puts you in a false sense of security. Losing makes you rethink everything. Losing creates a defeated mentality in some. In others losing motives them to become more desperate. Which one is Webby???

 

[Beastmode]

No he isn't you can blame Webster for that.

Then I’m glad Webster won’t have this option next year

I posted that list a month or so ago of who can be signed for 2026 on November 1st.

I don't recall any of that list being extended yet. A few taps on the shoulder for sure.

They certainly haven’t rushed to stop any of them getting to market in November. Sifakula should be safely away for hitting the market having a club option for 2026? There’s still a couple of development players they haven’t done anything to extend them in Fukofuka and Moimoi too?

 

[Inruin]

Do we read anything in to CHT being dropped out of the 17 completely?
