- Thread starter ancient_magpie

We are running last in the Comp and so far I haven’t seen this kid go missing,
Pity most of the others don’t share his same attitude.

Hope he stays. The kid is good. Real good.
Patience is tough isn’t it!
This whole new path with Benji and then Richo is still very early in the making. As fans we want results so it’s hard to watch the process.
As pointed out, Gould did take a few years to get results at the Dogs with the changes they initiated.
We must keep the faith and hope that we are on the right track - as true fans of the Tigers there is little else we can do.
In the meantime, for me I think it will be easier to cope with if I dial down my emotional investment and my expectations for the rest of this season. Stop letting the results of a footy game affect my mood for 3 days every week!

3 days is good. For others its a life time of pain. They invest their life into a football team. They pin their hopes of a football team making their life happy. Their dream alive cause maybe they dont have dreams of their own. You are pretty strong TigerSJ.

But we have stability. Consistency. On track for 3rd wooden spoon.

isn’t he off contract end of the season ? Can do what he wants anyway …sign a deal for plenty of money
Sure but dad may want him to get the deal done with Parra so the kid can just get on with his footy instead of being shopped around to everyone.

ok .. we are both obviously speculating …
Seems wishing thinking that it’s Galvin though
The disaster was signing Sheens again and the board swallowing Tim's rubbish about he and Benji being our future.Benji could well be our future if he had been given the right preparation for becoming our coach,2 years of being an understudy to a man who was a decade out of the modern game was never going to work.
What Sh*ts me is the arrogance of the bloke to go along with it.....
"The last 5 years of my playing career I was pretty much coaching anyway"
Biggest load of lard I've heard...
Heard Ciraldo say in a Chammas interview he went to the Dogs because he wanted a coach in Gus to lean on - Or words to that effect (I don't know everything he said) He's been coaching Lower Grades for 10 years or more...
Brett Morris (Coaching Already) Says his NRL head coach gig is miles in the future.
Wants the Squad to do the hard yards
While he waltzes into the top job without a lick of experience!!
Then hires his 2 best mates that also have zero experience....
I don't doubt Benji has the attributes to be an NRL coach, All he's done in this scenario
- Is kill any genuine career or ambition he may have had...
I just hope we don't keep bending to void him of accountability...

It's a very good point you make. He's taken the short cut to be an NRL coach, is he still taking short cuts in his role?

For all the crap Benji cops about his coaching he’s gotten the seem amount of wins that Madge & Sheens managed in their last seasons… so is the problem really Benji?
When has a coach not been held accountable at this club? Ciraldo would have jumped at the opportunity if the systems were in place and the roster was solid - we offered him 5 years. Benji got the job by default, but it comes with a whole lot of downside that would have turned off many.
I get why people question if he has the capabilities, but can't bag him for having the courage to take it on.
Squad is decidedly better now than when Madge was here....
Even you'd have to admit that.

It probably is yeh but i’d say Sheens had the best squad of all 3 coaches. Look I get all the frustrations with Benji because i’ve shared them these last couple of weeks if i'm being honest but I don’t see how getting rid of him will fix anything because it doesn’t change the roster we have.
