The beginning of the end was about a dozen or so years ago when the game passed Sheens by and no-one saw it...then we had Fiasco and the Hat running the show not soon after
They were desperate times,and he made short term decisions which had long term consequences...and he knew he wldnt be around to manage them.
Cleary is in a different category to septegarian Sheens and myopic Madge..and got a truly ordinary roster into 9th at the time
Dunno who that fella is,but after 3 spoons and no lite at tunnel end..were all pretty miserable tbh
No Im ok because I still want the side to win every single game it competes in. That’s non negotiable.
That's it though isn't it Bellamy would never coach at this club - and I can guarantee that he would be honest about his limitations here.
Obviously the bickering and bitching in the boardroom over the years , those that could never accept the merge and that is still happening
Apparently there are coaches in the Super League that want a start. You make some very good points and I would love nothing more to see Benji do well. The problem is we don't seem to be improving much at all some say were going backwards and that's a concern. I just don't know how much longer he will persist. Watching him on the sidelines ride every play shows the pressure he's feeling. I just don't think he cam afford another spoon the media alone will make things pretty difficult. Remember most people were saying we would make the 8 and were very confident abt it.
I hope your wrong my friend I really do.
I hope I’m wrong too.
A common misconception is Madge got us to last.
I didn't conveniently omit anything, I said coaches that couldn't coach so we sacked them. Cleary wasn't sacked, he saw what the joint was like and ran. To suggest our issues lie with the coaches is naieve. No coach of any value will step foot near the joint, they know the joint is the problem. We couldn't even get a rookie Ciraldo to come across. Now we've changed the boardroom structure so hopefully that will start to help the club make better decisions in the future, were still massively underfunded and owned by drama loving clowns. To suggest the coaches are the problem when there have been multiple coaches come and go is borderline insanity.
It seems we are focused on lowering our spend so that we turn a profit.
Sounds like he's a man with a plan, can he teach them to tackle.
I think the key would be finding key assistant coaches with really good structures (like what Ciraldo brought to Penrith). Let Benji be the man manager and signing attractor.
Madman I agree. If we get the spoon he's gone, imo he has to. Blaming 12 years of failure on the coaches, I'm not buying it, sure no doubt some were better than others. The club has a massive problem. We couldn't even convince a rookie coach to join. Hopefully now with the new boardroom things start improving, iv got no doubt if we get rid of Benji, in three years we're back here talking about getting rid of the new one. It's what we do as a club and have done since Sheens first stint ended.
