I can't see it unless its Benji falling on his sword, but i think its fairly obvious Benji hasn't worked and if he does want to be a coach needs to be an assistant for a good few years first.
If this has any legs though you'd imagine Willie Peters probably high on Richo's list.

Sure he'd fit right in
"On 15 September 2017, Peters left his position at Manly after it was alleged he had been involved in a fight with another Manly staff member at a pub in The Rocks, Sydney. Peters was issued with an infringement notice by police for offensive behaviour."

He profile gets better
"Peters and Wigan Warriors head coach Matt Peet were caught on camera having an altercation at full-time during a clash between the two sides during the 2024 season."

And you'd expect
Matamua and Tumeth won't be retained.

Half way there.

And theres more(as the ad from K Tel said!)
Duohi faatape and Naden won be retained either
And Bud will move officially if Bennett wants to offer more than $150k of his $600k contract h us
But all these obvious discards are mainly backs
We need some new forwards other than KPP...thats where the problem starts

 

[clontarfkid]

Just 1 more needed to make 6...

Could be Sullivan or Staines.
Maybe we early release Bird or Hunt.

Farwell

Wont miss either..but theyve got contracts..and we dont have Gould or a pub baron

After Ciraldo spoke to Gus and left us stranded, we binned 16 Applications until Tim appointed himself.

He said he didn’t clamour or seek the role but the board thrust it upon him.

And to help the club, he reluctantly took the position.

17% success rate.

Yet another disgraceful coaching appointment..hed been fired from his last 3 jobs due to poor success rates
This joint lurches from one coaching disaster to another
And the irony is we had not one but two potential successes under our nose in Webster and Gardiner
Hat and Fiasco for most of this

 

[clontarfkid]

How did Ciraldo leave “ us stranded “ ? By saying no ?

It’s a free world … at least here

We gave Ciraldo a real look under the hood..shared everything with hin incl $$
I just feel he led us on without any genuine intention...we were a last resort choice in his mind...and after seeing the whole story,he wld have stayed at Panthers as assistent
The along came Gould
Not that different to Cleary who had no intention of making a long term career at WTs
One coaching catastrophe after another
Lets hope we get the next one rite

He didn’t lead us on … he had options and chose a different one .. happens a lot…

Who was he negotiating with … Pascoe or Lee?

Willie Peters will not be coming back for at least 2 years as he is in the process of resigning with current English club. Would say the same thing with Sammy B as well although pretty sure he will get the Souths job.

I predict both Peter’s and Burgess will be coaching in the NRL next season.

Because he wouldn’t take the tour and show any interest in the position whilst Madge was still coaching.

Madge is sacked, he takes the tour and makes mutterances, Gus warns him about us publicly and he backs out.

We don’t have a coach and certain people anoint Tim.

He didn’t want to join the circus … would you ?

Did he make the right call?

He was all but ready to join but Gus got hold of him per Galvo.

Remember part of his excuse not to join us was that he said he wasn’t ready.

Shortly thereafter he’s signed a 5 year deal with Gus.

Ciraldo sold us down the river, he means nothing to me.

He made the same decision anyone would …..

If you tho k g

No, he led us down the garden path, cost us big time.

Which is not to excuse Lee and Co for backing the wrong horse.

The deal should have all been wrapped up before he got to Parramatta Rd to tour the COE.

Signed, sealed and delivered.

its called management.

No … he made the best call for himself… if he chose us he would he long gone by now…

Fair Dinkum mate … sometimes I think you need to go on Wheel of Fortune and try and buy a clue …

If he’d arrived we wouldn’t be sweating on yet another spoon this year.

Because he can coach.

No need to get unkind about me, you’re better than that.

Tom where do you think??

Mate … i try to be … but sometimes it’s too hard .., he had the choice to say here , but chose the Bulldogs instead .., why does it need to be any tougher to reconcile than that ? Who wouldn’t ?

 

[Tom Shines]

Tom where do you think??

There will be 4-5 vacancies at least … don’t be surprised if Bennett gets moved on

Thats exactly what happened
we were the only gig available at that time.which quickly changed when Gus maneuvered his chess pieces
Frankly.Im not totally convinced on Ciraldo as a coach without Goulds puppet strings attached
