Pretty sure that was Gardiner - Webster was elevated to a game or two when. Cleary left

You are quite right, always get those 2 guys mixed up.

I see he is going to be assistant at the Perth Bears.

Good luck to him.

Richo should be on the phone to them advising we have 3 other really good players who would be perfect for them, Royce Hunt, Jack Bird and Jayden Sullivan.
Surely they can throw in All You Can Eat Frogs Legs every Tuesday night as part of Royce’s deal ?

Don’t agree on hunt, he has been demoted due to poor coaching. He put hunt as starter, who obviously is an impact player with high weight. Because of injuries and his offloading of Klemmer left us short, he is trying to glass over his errors.
Hunt won’t play great in reges put him back in firsts, he’ll show ya

Picture for one moment that you're a CEO that gets minimal financial support from HBG. What does one do? Piss and moan about it? Or go out and turn a profit and make the club self sufficient to get the resources it needs to win those premierships.

I don't think the owners have given the CEO much choice here.

When I hear our only talent scout is Shannon Gallant on a part-time basis, it's obvious HBG put nowhere near the amount we need into the football department. Imagine where else we are lacking if that is allowed to occur in the premier football code in the country.

I see a guy who has inherited a mess. Nothing was done well at our club. Absolutely nothing. He is trying to fix it all, yet people expect overnight results. The timeframe people are willing to wait doesn't match the job that needs to be done to get us back on track.

I think me included people are just not accepting how difficult the job is with the way the club is run.
I've been posting out of emotion Benji needs to go and I'm a massive benji fan . I dint think anyone can guarantee another coach does a better job so maybe we are all a bit to hard on Benji. I do think Richo should of insisted on having the right people around benji and not so much he's own crew . My only question is how long do they give him at the end of the day winning games is what it's all abt. Glad I'm.not Richo. F... that.

I know it's coaching but do we really rate coaches in the Super League. I'd prefer Brad Arthur he took Parramatta from.bottom to a gf. I'm just not sure on players or coaches playing in SL.

If it's true it's out of Richos hands, then changing coaches won't make any difference, if it's true, we have a ceo with no power who can be overruled. I just can't see Richo not being the one to make the call if it gets done, I just can't see him not maintaining full control. But if it's true we need to know who made the call.

he’s mentioned before that when he came on his contract stipulated that he’s 100% in control and makes the decisions, the board are just consulted. he doesn’t even tell them recruitment plans, players they are after etc so i doubt the board call the shots re benji

It's not true. No disrespect to Odessa as i'm sure he is just passing on things he hears but I would be taking what he says with a huge grain of salt.

Coaching is very likely part of the problem as I thought he was adding decent impact early in the season.
You don’t just lose all ability within 3 - 4 months.

Richo is doing his best to prop up Benji, but as CEO he is technically answerable to the board.

No big contract pay out issues because his wages are being paid by a big sponsor and not the club.

If the board decide to move against Benji, Richo doesn’t have to accept responsibility, but he will lose some face because he’s been backing Benji to the hilt.

Benjis not a player.

So no then ? Who is it that sponsors him?

 

[TSP]

I was trying to get a quote to sponsor an Nrlw player (from work) but the club didn’t return my email.

 

[TSP]

So no then ?

Why would I sponsor Benji?

I don’t think he’s the best fit for us as coach.

Doesn’t sound like they are getting value for money then

Well they like him as a person and they have been very good to the club for some time. And they still love the club. So that’s good.
