Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[426Tlgerland]

Many suspected appointing Benji as coach (even assistant coach) was a mistake. It’s becoming clearer and clearer that it was a mistake. We are best to just rip the band aid off and get rid of him when we can i.e. this offseason. We need a real coach. With real assistants. The sooner we can do this the better. Remember how much trouble Bennet had attracting talent to the Dolphins and how much trouble Flanagan had/is having attracting talent to the Dragons. These are premiership winning coaches and we are way behind those clubs in terms of appeal.

Brad Arthur says Hi , I’m ready to rumble , I can get teams to play finals when I have a team on the park min injury list , I can bring a few boys in to cover for your shit show losses of players , one will be my young son who is better than most of your shit , let’s go I start the retention now , look out Parra hear I come , first stop Campbell Gillard ,

That's shit. Not a great way to run a club/business. Richo should on the blower to Benji every day.

He tried to phone him but he was bathing the kids and couldn’t take the call

Jeez Turuva looked bad yesterday when asked to cover fullback. Looked like he had no idea where to stand.

I don't see him making a massive difference at our club.

Well isn’t it lucky we didn’t sign him to play fullback then

Besides he had filled in and been great at fullback multiple times for Penrith

honestly brad arthur should be our coach

The board has no right to pressure Benji yet. Those arse clowns are responsible for him being there.

Lol guy has given us two wooden spoons bro

How many more you want to give Benji ?

Last weeks press conference Benji “I’m learning too as a rookie coach”

Which senior players want to hear that ? Either those contracted or ones we want to target? No player respects a coach that says “I’m a rookie”

He’s done man

 

[Tucker]

So you admit it's an improvement

get the pom poms out

I agree and said all this over 2 years ago and Ill tell you now, I was howled down on here for saying it.
However, we just cant keep sacking head coaches. Its a very poor look.

We need an adult who has a strong work ethic that players admire

 

[Dennisspicer1]

Can we get Kiraz here ?
He’s worth double what the Bulldogs are paying him.

He may be getting double what they say they are paying him, this bloke that owns all the hotels has more than one good accountant

I’m with ya bro

But I think Richo knows galvin will be sign elsewhere come November 1 next year if we aren’t improving.

Benji has had last year, this year, and start of next to prove himself. Long enough. We can’t afford to lose our star juniors

 

[Tucker]

What about my plan Tucker, top 8 without a shadow of doubt ?

No.
However if we sign 7 established NRL players as you have suggested, we'll get close.

 

[Fish88]

On paper we’ve lost probably our three best forwards (Stef, Paps and Bateman) from a pack already getting dominated.

Hard to be hopeful for ‘25 with no sign of any replacements.

 

[TSP]

Bennett is going cenile if he wants that flop.
I’d be getting Thomas Fletcher in return, he’s a good young second rower who is from the Campbelltown region.

Cobbo in it deep apparently.

Another footy player allegedly flogs his girlfriend.

Never forget the that Lucy’s DV stuff was actually raised by a concerned neighbour.

And the recent arrest of the eels lady, shows the game at its worst too.

 

[hank37w]

So if we don’t shut up. they won’t do what they are trying to do?

They could always fall back on that as an excuse because they know the supporters won't shut up. 🤣

So you like 3 spoons? How many do we need to maintain our “look”?

Ffs Harden the f up son.


Ps: Here’s our look.

If we give Benji 10 weeks next year before sacking him we’ve wasted another year. It needs to be done as soon as this season is over.

 

[Kaito]

Wow lots of starting team slots to buy, need 2x front row, 2x 2nd row, centre, winger. At least.

Horsborough, Schuster, Wilton, Holmes, Skelton, NAS
lol. Upgrade Johannssen, extend Pole and Sione too.
Sione will go from strength to strength now that
he's lost the weight and injury free (with his bros)
also. Pole + Sione is the new 1/2, similar games
good foot work, beat defenders. Need more I agree

If the 6 to 10 weeks for Benji are correct , bring in Arthur now , Benji is a shot duck as we will take another year to get going after the loss of players and maybe new guys coming in

Arthur is going to Perth apparently…

Id love to know what was said in that meeting.
To my mind, it was of an adversarial nature between Moses/Parents and Richo. It was strange to me that Lachlan was excluded. I reckon they got stuck in to him and Richo went fire and brimstone in return.
Notice he wasnt credited with changing their minds...Joey was.
The kid is on a countdown timer. I wouldnt be planning our future with him in it past 2026.

I agree, I agree.
Its a shit sandwhich.
