Chammas Article

Benji has had a good ride from the media in view of 6 straight losses. we put our faith in a coach with no experience and are paying the price. This was even though he was provide with a much better roster than 2024. We cannot continue to back him with mor recruits.

If you recall we tried to sign real coaches but the only one who wanted the job was Shane Flanagan who isn't exactly tearing the house down at the Dragons.

We went hard after Ciraldo but he didn't want to come here.

I don't think any amount of time would see Shane Flanagan turn this club around. I don't think Flanagan is a good coach unless he has a playing group roided to the gills.

I don't know jack shit about Willie Peters credentials but I doubt anyone short of Bennett or Bellamy would be able to counter balance the negative impact of the sycophants involves with the HBG.
 
Yeah, I just don’t see how the fact that players love him is relevant when we continue to lose games.
Because just about all those combinations are new and just about all those combinations have been in and out for parts of the season.

It's not hard to argue that most of those names make up our best players and the crew we hope take us to some success moving forward.
 
I worry.

Does seem a humble lad. Though, I worry.
It seems to be accepted these days that players have no free will and are controlled by their managers and go where they are told. Taking that into account, there’s no reason why he won’t be gone himself in a year’s time. Maybe released mid season. Who could say with certainty it wouldn’t happen.
 
Thats what I said we need to win games to shut them up.
But in saying that the Titan are currently on the bottom with Eels and Media is pretty silent and even praising Eels for how good they are recruiting.

Blind Freddy knows that hate us
They don't have 3 consecutive spoons do they nor failed to be in finals for 15 years. We must be realistic. We deserve all the criticism we get.
 
If you have to pick between Api and Tallyn you choose Api. Simple. No issue.

That they were made to pick is the issue. Not the choice they made.

Young players do not feel like biding their time at our club.

Young players are comfortable developing at other clubs.

At our club if they aren't in first grade ie. the shop window then they would rather be elsewhere.

This has been the case since we sacked Sheens the first time.

Is the simple answer a chicken and egg? Is it just we suck so we aren't attractive therefore we suck? It could be.

If there is any other answer it has to be to do with the culture of the club. The only part of which has endured through it all being the Holman Barnes Group.

Ergo... sell or fold.
 
I know its been mentioned, but, with the exception of Tallyn, it's hard not to notice that most of the recent exits are all under Moses - Galvin, Klemmer, Bateman and now the bust up with Doueihi who took Moses on recently.

It seems to be an effort to drive most of his clients, so, influence out of the club given their history.

It's not unprecedented for a club to refuse to deal with certain managers, particularly Isaac.

Maybe not. But it's a clear pattern.
I'm worried about Bula if this true.

We’re talking about 2027.
Is Wayne Bennett going to be a better coach in 2027 ?
You do realise dinosaurs didn’t last forever either ?

I don't disagree with your post, but we need a coach that coaches structure. That is Benji's main problem apart from trying to be one of the boys.
