Official: Three Life Members to lead coaching succession plan

I think they’ve identified that for a while now the WT playing group is mostly here for their attractive salary and doesn’t have an emotional attachment to the jersey. It’s pretty evident to me in how they commit when they’re tested on the field. They play as individuals rather than as a team. Bringing back people who genuinely care for the jersey makes a lot of sense to me. They will still need to get players who buy in.
Ok I get that. But why a 5 year contract? Were there 5 other clubs trying to sign Benji as a head coach that we needed to fight off? What happens if in 6 months everyone realises Benji is a terrible coach? What if Sheens takes us to top 4 and decides he would like to stay?

It’s an unnecessarily long contract based on guess work. It might pay off, but it’s a hell of a gamble.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if Sheensy planned this when we approached him for the "head of performance" role or whatever it was called. He can be really Shifty when he wants.

Imagine the Media going crazy if Gould did what Sheen's doing now 🤣
Shifty Sheens for a reason. This situation is just bizarre.

Why announce the succession plan now?

Give Benji 2 years to prove himself and reasses. We're blindly committing to 3 years of Coach Benji without knowing if he can coach.

Another short sighted decision that will no doubt bite us in the arse.

Get comfy at the bottom of the ladder. We ain't going anywhere.
