Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Dennisspicer1]

Out on a limb hear .
John Bateman a rep player
John Bateman is a solid effort player
he is also a player who gives 100%
those who say he didn’t , need to go back and look at each game he played in 24 , Benji also should look at those games , Bateman was one of our most consistent players , Benji need to pull his head in saying if correct Bateman would play reserve grade , he just played for his country , and did well , ffk sake , we get a good player and if he says what he feels we see the club ark up , we haven’t played semis and finals. For over 10 years maybe Bateman was right

And maybe not.
Benji is the coach, and if Bateman doesn't get along with our coach it is not up to Benji to bend over, it's up to Bateman to do as Benji needs.
If he can't get on with his coach that's his problem.

Not Benji's.

In the instance Benji gets canned, who would replace him?

 

[Dennisspicer1]

I honestly believe this CEO will tap Benji on the shoulder halfway through the year if results don't improve. I also believe Benji will go graciously if that is the case, to allow early determination of our coach for 2026.

Fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.

Roster spot are at a premium.

You just can't medically retire someone because you want to - there are insurance companies involved as they make the payment to the player, and they require a significant amount of corroborating evidence to pay the money. And it would preclude the player from playing professional rugby league in the future and he's not going to agree to that.

 

[Dennisspicer1]

i like your optimism. Benji has shown how he acts when things don’t go his way.

The Bateman drama is the latest chapter.

If he walks away peacefully then I’ll be the first to comment positively.

For all our sakes I hope we improve.

Another pessimist.

Lebanese coach inspiration would put his hand up

Which is what the article said, I don't think it is a Tigers player anyway to be honest.

14 years of failure inspires nothing else

May won’t be one of them.

What do you think about the "unique main. Sponsorship"?
This one has me Intrigued... Hope it's nothing embarrassing if it is in fact us

 

[Dennisspicer1]

A little bit of optimism,

Next year we are going to make the 8, Benji will be announced as most improved Coach of the year, and one of our players will be anointed player of the season. C'mon get behind our team, stop bagging Benji all the time.
It's called support.

Why stop there. Maybe we’ll win 4 comps in a row. That’s support too right?

Will believe it when I see it.

I think it is probably the roosters.

But I am a little worried that it could be a strange setup for us.

Going back to James Hardie and all
