Weird posts here. Tigers havent won more than 4 games since 2021 and not more than 8 games since 2019, but Benji has to go because we are probably on track to win 4 games again?

Who are we going to beat to get two more wins???
Bunji is clueless didn’t do any apprenticeship as usual just walks in and expects to run a first grade team!
Get Arthur why we can

You just cant sack a bloke after half a season when they've come last the two seasons before he joined. What were the expectations of fans, Top 8?

Especially with some key signings in 2025.

Who will come here as replacement coach f they only get half a season to turn it around?

You can if he’s not qualified with no experience and lose 44-0 2nd half after leading half time. Our best forward made less than 50m. Our best centre was missing. Something’s not right. A good coach gets players up. Especially after a rest.

To me Benji was always a poor signing from a desperate club with weak board and leadership. The new strong leadership should recognize a problem and fix it without worrying about upsetting personalities.

I know a mate of my old man who followed the jets and never chose another club when they folded. I never understood how you could follow a sport but not a team but the last few years I've changed my mind on that.

i will follow them for the rest of my life …can’t give up at this point after nearly 50 years of following them …

I dont get some people saying they want them to fold … just decide to stop watching them … why do they need to die first ?
 
Nah, you all talk tough, but you will also be back with that stupid bit of hope against hope next week. You're all top fans for sticking with the team and unfortunately you're not going to do anything different in the future. We're addicts.

No one ever wants to put down a beloved pet that means the world to the family. But when it's run it's race and for years has been deaf, blind, incontinent, paralysed and got the no teeth. It's an act of love to let it go lol

Meh … sport has plenty of instances of bad teams going from last to first … the New England Patriots were bottom feeders for decades … the Cubs didn’t win a World Series for 108 years

No; he gets two years minimum. I'll give it up if Richo cans Benji inside 2024.

I don't think 2024 is especially worse than the last couple of seasons. I don't think Benji is doing worse than Sheens or Madge; in fact I think he has a generally worse roster and some of his higher paid players are already mentally checked out.

What did they say tonight - Tigers have had 7 debutants already in 2024? Used 29 players already. Of those 29 only Api, Klemmer, Olam, IP, Twal and Sezer (6) have played more than 70 NRL matches and 3 of those guys were not available tonight. In the backs we've fielded 7 blokes who have played less than 10 career matches up to this week.

I don't think that's a Benji thing. I don't think Benji has a lot of time to get some results, but I think people turning on the coach is just a natural but highly subjective response to ongoing losing.

In other words, we've changed almost everything possible about the club - rosters being handily cleaned out over several seasons, brand new coach, new Board, new CEO, new Chairperson, new CoE. New focus, new plans, new strategy from the CEO. But club is still losing far too regularly. Though 2024 it isn't trending in a positive direction, I don't think the new coach has had enough time or control over the roster to be adequately judged. CEO also has not had adequate time to make much of an impact on the club, including the roster (where he apparently wants to shed a significant number of players). Furthermore we have very clearly put many of our eggs into the 2025 basket well in advance, which may say a lot about our salary cap position for 2024 and the lack of recruitment specifically for this year.

So whilst I am also very depressed about the club and at a loss to find optimism and shining lights, I don't think sacking the coach is the right go. And replace him with who, Brad Arthur who just got the arse himself for a bad season? John Morris who is already the assistant coach?
