Benji problem wasnt necessary going away -- it was compounded with the fact that
1. He preached family over football - even though most coaches agree with this -- they still want their players thinking that they have to die on the field to win the comp
2. We were ill disciplined and horribly defensively -- which emphasised his carefree attitude
3. Our results were poor -- which again aligned more to his "time out from football" "play what you see" "lets have fun this game"
4. He is a first time coach -- that was given the job out of nepotism -- he didnt earn it like other senior head coaches that have done ten years plus.
5. The perception in the game that we don't train hard enough -- mentioned by players who have left.
It was all these things that made him going away look bad.
If Bellamy went away no one would care. Bellamy screams when his teams are up by 50 and drop the ball in the 78th minute.
The Tigers were performing poorly at the time, with people qustioning benjs work ethic and our teams performances which aligned with his carefree attitude.
If we started winning - then everyone would say he was right.
But we got smacked the next game against St George.
Benji has not earned the right to go away on a holiday mid season.
Jeff Bezos worked twenty years without a holiday when he built Amazon.
I would say this - if you had a player in the NRL who had never played before, and wanted to be an NRL player -- do you think he would have to work harder than the other players? Yes...
Benji is a first year coach -- who seemingly works less than the other coaches who have years and years of experience.
Benji not seeing that the perception is the reality shows either his inexperience OR his arrogance.
You can't ask your players to run through walls and die on the field for you IF you don't show them that you do that too -- does Benji say that? No. He says family first, footy second, most important thing is enjoying the ride.... all that is great but i bet the players playing for the Storm and winning are having better family time than our players because they feel good about winning.
Benji trying to be Wayne Bennet without the 50 years of coaching to get there.
He has to earn the respect -- not get it because of his name.
i wouldnt care if Benji went away IF we were solid in defense and discipline
I wouldnt care if Benji went away IF after our losses he said "That was terrible" instead of "I was proud of our effort"
I wouldnt care if benji went away IF his actions and words outside of that showed a complete dedication to excellence ON EVERY SINGLE PLAY... just like Bellamy.
and i wouldnt care if we were winning.
But i dont get that feeling with him. So i do care.
