Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Ok just catching up. Is really evident that we have here a large number of successful players online all of whom know about winning the NRL. Well done to those of you. A pa on the back and a participation award is well deserved. As for the coaches we have on here even higher standards. Can’t believe what I am reading at times. Ant believe that some of you are not employed at NRL coaches. Something I would to share.. b
My son play U18 Football NPL.the club basically made of 5 age groups. 4 coaches. All 4 coaches are present and coaching every team on game day. Coaching takes a team. A good team it the club wants to achieve success. We talk a lot about Benji and his performance in th least 12 months. My question is…is it him or his team that has been underperforming? Hec I think he has had a shit coaching team thus far, not to mention the actual players. I would even bet my left testicle that I could coach Penrith and make semi-finals in 2025 easily. But does that make me a good coach? Don’t think so. First you need the cattle then you need to know how to get the best out of the cattle and know what strategies need to be employed at the different stages of the game. Well I am truly happy that we are working on the cattle. Just about 15 players short of a hot 30 high performing squad. Coaching staff ie. coaching team, do they have what it takes, do they have the vision and technical / tactical know how to be able to make the changes needed when required, depending on the situation. TBH I don’t know. Time will tell. If success is not forthcoming what changes are needed? And who has the gonads to make those tough calls. If attack is crap then. Same changes, if defense is weak make changes. Could mean players and or coaching staff. Last 12 months has been both!
If Griffen can get them to top 4 , then I think you’re onto something . There’s been a few players recently come out and absolutely crucify him as a coach .
 
Black white and gold has a good point. Like the caste system in India and the West. Your colors. Your cloth derenines who you are. Yet we are 1

Matt Lodge faces an uncertain future in the NRL after his exit from Manly was confirmed.

The forward has spent the past 18 months at the Sea Eagles but will depart from the Northern Beaches after his contract came to an end and was not renewed.

Instead, the club opted to hand fellow veteran forward Siua Taukeiaho a short-term deal after his release from Catalans earlier this year............................



If we miss May then Lodge would be a good next option...or even both.

Im happy to give Lodge a chance, he seems to have kept his nose clean for some time now

Doesn't make sense why he hasn't been snapped up by a club yet.
