Sack Marshall

[Halbrowne61]

Can somebody watch the presser and please
Summaries it on here, I can't stomach it atm lol

Mate you’ve only ever had to watch one coz like his pre game pressers they’re all pretty much the same.
Hasn’t got the balls to leave out Klemmer, Ice and Stef, why I dont know, nor can he even sort out why Sexer is standing on the right hand side as a left foot kicker. All pretty basic stuff really. Or show the no 3 how to set up a winger and not try and score every try himself. Just a few examples along with a still leaky defence.
Same old, same old every week for past 16 weeks. Going around and around in ever decreasing circles.

Sacking coaches has been real successful eh?

What Richo has been trying to do, offload the "deadwood" is the right direction in my opinion.

Klemmer, Papalli'i, Douhei, Seezer, Sullivan have not performed at 1st grade level. Stef has switched off...too busy thinking of his luxury Jayco caravan, Car Sales Audi & Haines Hunter boat he's going to get at the Storm.
Our backline at its strongest can be very competitive.....most of them are kids and they are building nicely.
With some decent forward signings, Luai & Turuva coming next year & the young guys getting plenty of experience a bit earlier than optimal and there's the basis of a competitive team.

You can't coach effort, something some of our "marquee" players have sorely lacked for the last two seasons.

%100 mate. Sometimes it's the cattle's fault and
sometimes its the farmers. To your point, our senior
players have been abysmal all year - treated the club
like a one night stand and were rightly called out
for it by benji. Haven't been able to get the players
fitter, more disciplined or creative in attack is my
big concern, 4 weeks left, very little improvement.

The new signings including the ones we have in Luai
Turuva, fit Olam And a few guys more with deadwood
cut will bring some more success next year. He needs
support around his coaching staff but has a massive
ego too, bomber has gone okay but everyone else
Around benji are just 'yes men'. Onto 2025 Daz haha

Master coach

He's the only circuit breaker I can see at the moment. We need to give Benji some time to reshape the team. He got 2 great signings over the line... maybe he can do that again.

Plus, Luai is coming in a large part to work with Benji. We can't go impacting that right now.

So u cut ur nose of to spite ur face , how long will luai put up with losing because benjis not up to the job

To infinity and beyond!!

Great ex-footballer, good golfer and family man lol

That sucks to hear. Api has been so loyal to benji
all year and spilt his guts. There have been a lot of
times that he should have been given a spell with
Jake simpkin coming off the bench but was always
asked to do more. Tallyn Da Silva was left on the
bench again until the 60min and only got game time
when Sezer got injured. It's the little things like that...

 

[tigermate]

Lol to all benji lovers

If we had Bennet , ciraldo , flanno , des or any coach we would be doing better.

Benji is out of his depth … “we aren’t playing for 80” “ we do good things and then shoot ourselves in the foot”

We leaked over 30 points to the knights

What a joke

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Don’t sack Marshall. Get him a proper assistant coach and a proper strength and conditioning coach and four more first graders.

If we still suck after that, then sack Marshall.

But right now there is not a coach in the world that would do anything better than about 15th with this squad (and that’s a push).

We have the worst squad in the comp. And by some distance.

Silver lining is we are getting one of the best halves in the game and the players preforming to their pay packet - or beyond - are our young ones and cheap ones.

If the club had the testicle fortitude, then what is has been dished up this season throughout the First grade, koe cup side would have and should have been nipped in the bud a long time ago i do not know any side in and major competition would have put up with this.

Wake up champ Bellamy would coach this team to a spoon. Not sold on Benji but when you have multiple weak links NRL sides will carve you up each week. Too many of us have blinders on over eating our players. Picking Alaimalo was straight dumb but what are the choices.

 

[hsvjones]

I've been on the side of giving Benji time but if I'm being honest, we need to get and experienced coach in for 2025. Benji can stay as assistant if he wants but if we took Flanigan when he wanted to come we would not be on the bottom.

I am losing faith in him as we are just not improving in the game structures and planning IMO

 

[davey_farrell]

That

That makes sense but we can't afford another crap season. Rip the bandaid off now. Get the best coach available and make Benji an assistant if he wants to stay on.

Absolutely!!!!

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Like those before him, Marshall looks lost for answers….Give Ciraldo a call for advice Bunji

Give Benji a better squad. See what he has and if it doesn’t work so be it make a change.

Changing now makes no sense. Arguably your 5 best players love Benji. Luai, S Fainu, Bula, Api, Turuva, Galvin.

The ones that don’t are on the way out and they haven’t performed for anyone.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

There is zero evidence to suggest he’s going to get better. It’s nothing but blind faith to think that he will. When a guy in his position, who has not even served an apprenticeship in the lower grades is in the position he finds himself in, what does he have to fall back on to give supporters some hope that things will turn around? No one can look at his track record as coach and feel optimistic, because he does not have one. With a coach like Madge you could say “well he’s won a premiership, he obviously has something to offer”. I challenge anybody to defend Marshall in terms of his coaching record. You can’t do it.

Nailed it been saying this myself

Bellamy would coach them to a spoon?

Laughable

The dragons on paper at the start of the year had a relatively similar outlook than us

And flanno has turned them around big time

Griffin did a poor job with the same roster

It’s the coach !!!

Listen to Richo before he took the tigers job on james graham podcast “the most important person in a football club is the coach “

Those are his words!!!

The coach

 

[magpies forever]

Id throw in the names of Steve Georgallas, Justin Holbrook and Ben Gardiner if Benji did surrender the head coach role. I dont want to loose him and as others have said I'd love him to continue as an assistant. I just dont think he has the experience at NRL coaching level at this stage. WT need it to sort out things. We have had a season of Benji in control and there are still way too many basics not right. I agree squad is not good and too many pretenders but inability at basics is a terrible indictment of the coaching staff.

AND. as I said in a earlier post somewhere Richo should not be beholden to decisions made by the previous admin when they are being seen to be going wrong.
