Bennett has said a lot of things. I wouldn’t rule it out. What’s he going to do in Brisbane? Fish in the brown river?

Looks like a baby's turd gone wrong but you get some great threadfin salmon in the Brisbane River.

The ineptitude of Rugby League in New Zealand is astounding. As soon as there is any sign of progress at international level the management seem to scuttle it for no good reason.

There was no reason why Maguire couldn’t coach both NSW and the Kiwis. And the most disappointing thing is, he will probably be replaced by someone like Stacey Jones who is a NZ legend but not a proven coach.

It’s not a rejection though. He’s right . The player stayed loyal . Unless you’re offering a chance at a premiership , or career advancement , as well as money , then most players won’t leave . It’s all good to just offer money , but usually that just isn’t enough . We’ve seen that recently with lattrell and JAC amongst others . Sure we offered the money , but not much else. so the players found the other stuff with other clubs .
IMO as good as best is , his defence his shit .. to put it bluntly . And the rumours out of Newcastle is he’s not regarded as the best bloke in the world . But that obviously is subjective .
To me Feledy can be as good as him as early as next year , but he has to , fix his defence . The more realist. Says 25 maybe 26 for Feledy .
I just don’t see how our feelers out is the same as rejection . Lattrell rejected us . JAC rejected us . Best chose to follow the rule . Ie. most players stay loyal .

Wouldn’t you sit down and gauge the interest of the player before making it known to all and sundry you’re offering the bloke a contract. Have an honest chat and move on if he’s not really that interested. Get ahead of the media and say nah not for us.

If true the club let the media run with a completely different story and they need to employ a better Media/Marketing manager who comes out and strongly refutes the fake news. It all fuels our poor reputation in the game.

I’m hearing Bennett may be heading our way now to work with Benji……

This club could be epic

Would even look good on the wing .. straight swap with Nofo
I'd like him to come to the tigers. Sort out the Football side of things, attract some signatures, stand up to that dysfunctional board and generally turn the joint on its ear.
No deal 🙅🏻‍♂️

Unfortunately the media can not be beaten mate. There is no use fighting them as all they do is lie more. Only chance is for the government to regulate media and bring in and inforce laws regarding fabricated media. Will never happen.

Your expecting way too much from the lowly league club to be able to stand up to these absolute pieces of faeces.

If you think you're lowly, you will be.
Penrith never used to be a powerhouse - look at them now. We need to stop the in-fighting and loser mentality - if we don't that's all we will be.

I remember around 2011, they were down and out. They went hard for Sheens, and he ended up re-signing for us, only for us to sack him a year later (lol). Anyway, I remember reading a snippet in the paper at the time where a Penrith offical had sent Gus a text saying they had no idea what to do now. Well they brought Gus in. He got laughed at for his 5 year plan, but he had the last laugh. How someone not have a clue to try and bring him in before he went to the Dogs and we brought Sheens back, I have no idea….Wait...Of course I do. Cos we’re run by goddamn clowns.

I'd prefer to think there's a change in the air. Still not sold on the Bunj but I'm hoping it's better than the lunacy that brought Sheens back.
Prefer to float on my own shit than wallow in it.

Benji is only one part of it. Even if he becomes a supercoach, he still has deal with the clowns running the place.

Why cant we be the next Penrith with this good crop of Juniors coming through and Api and Luai to steer the ship.

Pole looks a beast
Stephano needs to fulfill his potential
Bula skys the Limit
If Sullivan or Latu grab the other half position
The Lullallii brothers Kit looks a beast, his brother on the win too.
King 👑 Api will hand over the reins to the winner Talyn Da Silva, kid is the next robbie!!

We are set up to get out of this rut. I think 2025 the club will come of age. Gus would kill for some of our players. Just beed to hold on to them and Benji is building the culture. 2024 we need at least 8 wins and finish around 10th.

Look at our board and if that dosen't deflate your optimism nothing will.This external review has the chance to change things and i hope it makes the right recomendations and WA act on them the positive way.It will not be an overnight fix but hopefully it will be the start of what we need for our club's future
 
If Benji trusts them. Thats good. In the meantime - buy a membership. They pay Luai. Millions. We need more members. Someone has to help cover the losses. The Windfall. No members - no fans - no team. Dig deep.
