I can’t believe people don’t understand this point.
It’s really crazy.

the kids got better as the year went on -an it just seemed/stats will probably tear me 2 shreds(go 4 ya lives)they came out in the 2nd halve;s put on points,ala Sheens reign,
i see no point in switching another coach out -so soon-for all us over 40 yr olds in the work force do you have any idea what the hell the kids r thinking these days -point being the team coming thru kinda know of Benjies playing career,have some respect 4 the man ,n the coach mixing it up in opposed sessions n still kickin rc,thats surely better than a Madge goin old school shoutin abuse tell em how crap they are,or Tommy punishing them ,5 more times up the hill or no pub 4 u

No, we played 24.
Still a disgrace averaging over 30

So what is your point?
I see the experienced coach doing well. If you think Benji will achieve the same I feel sorry for you.

So you think Marshall will get us to the top 4 next season based on what Ciraldo has done at the Dogs? 😂

I remember when i was 10, the last thing my coach told me and my teammates every time before we ran out was “No matter what guys, just have fun”. Telling that to 10 years olds is a good thing. Telling professionals earning hundreds of thousands of dollars a year just to go out and play, not so much. I think Luai on 1.2 million needs a bit more of an authoritative message than that.

Serious question. What’s the difference between 3 spoons or 4? Or 4 vs 5?
I’m just curious how many spoons make a crisis?

Not the same club, but same results. And think of it as an ego thing. Kind of like a girl dumping you, then 3 years later, she comes crawling back. There is a sense of feeling better off without her. Plus, he has a pretty sweet gig with NSW. It’s not gonna happen.

Because we could make inroads next year with an actual coach. But, we have Benji, so 🤷🏻♂️
Were you against the appointment of Benji when he was first hired? Because he had no experience back then too. My point is that it would be a mistake to sack benji after his 1st year considering:
-we used 37 players this year, 12 of those players were debutants
-benjis assistants were Farah, Heighno (neither have coaching experience) and John Morris.
-extremely young squad, under performing senior players being moved on
-incoming Benji signings include Luai, Turuva, Skelton, Hunt, Bird, Horsburgh (likely)
-we still won 2 more games than last year, performed about on par with 2023 Bulldogs
With an improved roster & coaching staff we'll go a lot better next year. Benji deserves at least one more.

Didn’t Benji inherit A b2b spoon team?
Not that I disagree, just don’t know if he’s the reason the club avoids quad spoons

Yes I was. I was furious at the appointment of Sheens and absolutely disgusted that Benji was just gifted this job because he said he wanted it.
I got in many, many fights on here venting about both these decisions.
That is poor coaching. We did not need to debut so many young blokes.
He wanted them
Only Luai has had a good year out of all them this season.
So what? Still came last and got flogged in front of our sold out home crowd by a weakened side with the equal worst defence in the comp, after having 2 weeks to prepare for it.
Been hearing that shit for 13 years.
I don’t believe it until I see it.

Benji earned 2 of those spoons.
