Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Maybe you should be asking the people involved.
Is Benji going to come out and tell everyone what happened ?
Not likely and similar to the condition when Galvin was released, Sheens was sworn to secrecy as part of his payout.
If nobody done anything wrong that condition would not of been placed on his payout and departure and you can now say the same thing about Galvin’s departure.
 
We pretty much got confirmation that Benji rejected an experienced coach in Paul McGregor in favour of his mate in Brett Hodgson

No one can deny that Benji hasn't gotten what he's asked for
It would be a difficult job to decide who would be worse for the job
McGregor hardly set the world on fire before being sacked
 
I think richo is a man of his word.
In his early interviews said he always backs the coach. Might question but doesn’t override as they should be in control
They should, but in our case it’s looking more and more like allowing Benji to make most if not all the decisions is akin to letting the lunatics run the asylum.
 
This will end one of two ways. Benji will turn it around and or he will resign. He is well connected and will make more in media. It’s a squad issue and the pile on inevitable with injuries and a tough end of season draw.
They have to back him until next year it will tear the squad apart again.
Just as a matter of interest does anyone have any clue what sort of dollars Benji is on as head coach.
 
The fact that he hasn’t overridden him gives credibility that he still backs benji fully
A good sign imo
He’s given him enough rope to hang himself. Say what you will , but if Benji does get rissolled , it will be because he couldn’t get the wins , and really I know there’s worry the playing group will follow him out the door , if I’m a player and the coach got fired because he backed me and I didn’t get it done , the only person I’d have to blame is the person in the mirror .
This is a different tigers . Theres little upper management meddling , there’s no signings of your mate from 2GBs mates son (Fulton) , it’s simply the way it should be . All on the footy field .
Benji unlike any coach in our history , has only himself to blame really if he fails to get the necessary wins . I’m a loyalist , so obviously I want Benji to stay , but it’s not looking good .

If you are not privy to what went on then you are not a reliable source regardless of what you think happened.
There was plenty that went down that resulted in Sheens moving on - re Pascoe and Lee hiring Fulton and demoting McDonell
Maguire was also sworn to secrecy when he got the axe - and plenty of rumors around who stabbed him the back too.

Ryan Carr currently an Assistant Coach at the Dragons and I’m pretty sure he coached our NSW Cup/Reserve Grade at one stage is the one I would be targeting.
He got good results when he was the interim head coach at the Dragons, he has a reputation of being a hard task master pinpointing errors and weaknesses in his players game, but a mans man who won’t sugar coat anything and levels it out with plenty of praise.
I’m told he is very underrated.

We just need to remain competitive when we get our best players back on the pitch and hopefully avoid a bottom four finish. If we don’t do that, Benji is probably not the guy.
 
you just know the one’s who thinks Benji has favourites is Twal douehi and seyfarth 😂🤣😭
Can you explain that better, are these 3 Benji’s favourites or are you saying these 3 believe Benji plays favourites and they are not part of it ?

He was supposed to be an assistant under Madge but Madge saw him as too much of a threat....that was the word anyway
 
If you want an experienced coach to help develop juniors, Anthony Griffin is the guy.

He's not a great head coach, but as the #2...he'd be my pick.

Tallis reckons he's one of the greatest developers of young players from his time at the Broncos.

And then there is the Wayne connection.
