Not by everyone.

Good players win games, and I’ll judge Benji when he has good enough players to win.

This is the most underrated elephant in the room with coaching.

I'm a firm believer that a bad coach can ruin a team's chances, far more often than a good coach can turn around a team's fortunes.

Will it be because he's never been a Rugby League Head coach in his life?

Solely because of that? No. We lost a few games with Sheens last year. He's coached a few games in his life i recall.

Most likely reason will be because the other team scored more points than our team because they have better players across the field.

Our squad is flawed and incomplete. Yes it's up to Benji to get the best out of the squad, make the right selections etc but end of the day it is the players who win and lose games.
 
We all know how it goes. The coach always gets blamed regardless of reputation or lack there of. Benji knows the drill. How long he gets will depend on the players he has no choice but to put his faith in - their attitude their performance.
They will make ot break him just like it happens at every other club no matter who's name is on the coaches hat.
And fans will jump on board calling for his head quicker than most ,- the very reason why our options in attracting any coach - let alone one with a reputation - resulted in what we ended up with.
You don't have to be a genius or have a crystal ball to work out his back is against the wall from the get go.

Man Brisbane won a comp with Shane Perry as their half because the team 1-17 external of halfback was basically the qld origin team .
All Bennett had to do that year was keep the boys from too many nose beers at 1am and it was a sure thing .
Not much X and O required that year .
The best coaches reinvented the wheel and defined an era .
Gibson , Warren Ryan both at the dogs then again in the late 90s at the knights , sheens in 05 , then Bellamy and Hasler in the late 00s (for the worse IMO. But they won a lot).
Everyone else is winning because of cattle , and buy in . Very little X and O difference .

You sound like an educated footy person mate, and you would know it’s a game mostly played between the ears. Get players with desire and application and bring them together as brothers and that’s generally a winning formula.
