Why would he come here on low money to a struggling club with a coach that is still on training wheels with every possibility that it leads to failure when he can instead go to Unca Wayne the man manager who will in all likelihood take him under his wing and resuscitate his career.
Poor old Sharon Woods, he's been around a bit and would have so many post codes these days that he's probably beating himself up. 🤣
Yes I do. Although the topic im about to bring up is not that popular in conversation at this time however, it is still a common topic. Benji being the coach of the tigers. I think we need to put trust in the bloke let the club build off a culture that has been lacking for a decade. This can happen under benji who is tiger through and through. Also a very intelligent coach with lots of respect from players. No one could of gotten a better position for the tigers this season with the squad that they had which often lacked experience in the NRL. Put it into perspective we averaged a sin bin almost every game, NRL rules are much more stricter then the rules the younger debutants are used to in KOE and Hmatts or SG. I think with the addition of two more Penrith players such as Luai and Turuva will add that experience and confidence we need within the team for next season. Just hope that Galvin stays but if not we have a good five eight to slot in, Latu Fainu. All we need from Benji is to masterplan a tough pre season something similar to the top teams which push our players to fitness levels that we have lacked in other seasons. Winning starts in the preseason and it also starts from the head of office. The club wont make the 8 next year but we will be promising maybe a 10-12th finish which is a far better improvement. I just hope tigers dont jump the gun and sack benji. Give him 1 more year after 2025 to really decide if we need a different coach. The tigers also have players in juniors that we need to keep such as Onitoni Large and Makasini who are guns and have proven themselves in SG (Correct me if im wrong).
Yes the way benji was appointed wasn’t smart but the tigers board did it and this is where we’re at so we need to trust him. Sack him and the tigers will just restart and the same shit will happen over and over. We’ve sacked that many coaches and look where it’s got us. The club has no culture, no identity, and no winning culture. Blokes don’t even know the winning song
100%. I think luai will help us. The bloke has a great competitive edge and pulls up players for not doing well. If you’ve seen the clip of luai spraying salmon a few years ago after the game. Hope he brings this attitude the tigers have lacked
Well, we're off to.a good start.
This is one thing I’ve questioned every year, why we have not signed someone who can goalkick.
There are two mistakes we make every year and have done for a long time. We don't go into games with a top class goal kicker, someone who is 80% plus and we never seem to worry about for and against. Having missed the playoffs one year on for and against you'd think we'd be all over that but ...... no. Of course we make a shedload of other mistakes but those two annoy me beyond belief.
Read the post.
You gotta stop that .. !! You make way too much sense there with that statement .. !!
And then we sign players like Russell Packer and Brent naden
