LIVE GAME Round 17v Manly

[Flippedy]

They were terrible. I doubt there will be a good finish for them either this year.

They’ll avoid the spoon though.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I said tongue in cheek, last year that we may get a set (6). Unfortunately that is seeming more probable than possible. Funny if the rift go for the same number of titles.

Mal Meninga as coach of Perth is our only hope of avoiding the 6peat.

You hope ! I’m getting nervous !

 

[Tucker]

Yeah, they get to play us again lol

 

[gallagher]

If you watched his presser tonight, he was arguing we have improved.

And he said most people expected us to be at the bottom.

I’m sorry, he’s off with the fairies.

I don't know how he thinks we've improved. Tonight was horrible, it shouldn't go unquestioned by the board

 

[Tucker]

Remember when everyone said the Dolphins coming in was going to save us?

 

[Droppy05]

Well sign him up and put a jumper on him, maybe he’d be more use on the field than off. This type of coaching indicates a doer not a teacher and that’s not what you need !

Like I have said on here. He is a show pony still. Forgets that he is a coach and his job is to get the team playing as a team with structures and patterns in attack and defence.

 

[gallagher]

Remember when everyone said the Dolphins coming in was going to save us?

Meninga and Gardiner are also in another league to our coaching team.

 

[Flippedy]

I was talking about Manly Hal, not us. We’re guaranteed the spoon!

 

[TSP]

I don't know how he thinks we've improved. Tonight was horrible, it shouldn't go unquestioned by the board

I couldn’t believe it either.

He must be the only person on earth who thinks that. It’s deeply embarrassing.

I think it suggests he’s lost control.

And he knows it, but he can’t admit it.

I doubt that. We thought in 2022 , we could'nt be worse after finishing 16th with the spoon. But we did in 2023 coming 17th with the spoon. Maybe in 2027 we achieve another first, we come 18th with spoon.

 

[Squater]

I've been a supporter of Benji for most of this year but I've probably been supportive because I'm sick of changing coaches every year BUT now I'm seeing really poor judgement in team selections, Team positional changes ,team lacking any coordination in attack
He picks a team then sits on the sideline and plays musical chairs with the team during the game .
Benji as coach " try this " and if that doesn't work " try that "
Cant imagine any good coach wanting the job as coaching this merger which has always been like an "estranged " marriage totally run by a bunch of useless real bosses called the HBG

Has anyone ever at training since U7's come off a 2 step run up? There is something amiss here, I'm willing to bet that what is being practiced isn't ebing executed; but why?

That 2 step has been around for years. We play with no motivation. I can’t even remember the last player that used to rip in. Thought that was going to be Hunt,boy I got that wrong

 

[innsaneink]

Not ones who had better opportunities, Not even rookies with potential are willing to take the job (Ciraldo). Our best hope is an experienced coach who doesn’t really have much hope of getting another gig somewhere else. A Brad Arthur type. Or even Des if he gets the sack. Surely he is running out of chances.

Its why we have Benji...no one else would touch us with a barge pole...there was no one else interested...Flanno was mentioned by rothfield to Stapleton but it seems thenold balmain wests shit came to light with stapleton saying flanno would be here over my dead body.
Id hazard a guess its common knowledge any coach here is behond the 8 ball and on a hiding to nothing with next to.no financial support from the owners

 

[StarswithStripes]

Obviously the unforced errors aren’t at the result of the coaching.
The chopping and changing of our spine definitely is.
The question I have which makes all the difference in a match;
Is it the coaching or the players that has them recieving hit ups with a 1 or 2 step run up?
Watch the other teams take a hit up; from either their backline or their forward pack, it is all done at speed!

And please stop the Benji step heading into the defence. You just lose momentum and impact and get driven backwards. Just run straight and hit the line hard FFS!

And he knows it, but he can’t admit it.

I have said he is clueless and now he has confirmed this. Very sad though. I liked Benji as player but please put him out of his and our misery.

Gotta achieve something, why not do it at the other end lol.

I disagree. Why would it worry an experienced coach taking on a wooden spoon team? Can't go any lower .only upwards.

Okay I'll accept that. But once PNG come in 2028 then for sure our reign of spoons will end there.

I enjoy that direction the narrative has taken concerning this guy.
Last year and early this year his occassional nickname on here was Kai Piss Poor. I always thought it a tad harsh but accurate nonetheless.
Now weve signed him, youd be mistaken for thinking a prime Gaz was on his way.

That’s because you’re a disloyal douchebag who is on a forum chatting with people who arnt like you . He’s a tigers player . They’re trying to back the kid . Maybe these people get enjoyment out of supporting thier club and the players who play for them rather than coming into a forum full of people who live 2000km away from you to talk about how amazing you are and smarter than everyone else …
That’s probably why you don’t understand . Because it’s about you . Everything is about you . So why would you understand people having change of heart from bagging a guy to supporting him because he’s on his way to the club.
Every single word you say is narcisstic , self serving dribble …
