Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Does Benji have a mentor? He is still fairly new to coaching and having a “go to” for him to bounce ideas off would be invaluable at this stage of his coaching development.
I don’t think Sheens is on speaking terms with the club so kind of rules him out.

I don’t think Sheens will pick up Benji’s calls just quietly.
Nothing sticks out to say Benji is doing anything wrong from a tactical or coaching messages and instructions point of view.
Our playing style definitely improved in the latter part of the 2025 season, so that’s a good sign to indicate our playing style and coaching methods are evolving in a positive way,
My concerns with Benji’s coaching are now to do with his use of our interchange which I believe needs big improvement and a concern he shows too much loyalty to some players.
Loyalty is good, but you have to be careful not to be blinded by it from a coaching point of view.

Not sure you can change that - loyalty - in any coach - and especially those who have limited players to select from. A coach will always have the human side to consider that fans can't possibly relate to because we just consider how they perform on game day. We have little knowledge of attitude, work ethic, injury status, illness i.e.
For every fan that thinks a player is being used poorly and or shouldn't be selected there is another who thinks otherwise.
A coach has to back themselves because they will never be able to please all the fans all the time.

Benji has made a difference but my take was when we were close 10/20 out we just didn’t attack well and get points we looked lost , unorganised, attack coach needed like Cronk , our running game when on was good , defence did improve we just had bead sections where we turned of and had 12 put on us quick

Wrong guy it should be Cronk , sterlo a legend no doubt is 20 years ago , he would not be the answer for one simple reason , the game is completely different now

Cronk is happy at the roosters. He is always having a dig at our club, more than most pundits (other than 360 journos)

You're obviously upset about something otherwise you wouldn't resort to abuse and name calling. You would have been more convincing had you agreed or disagreed with my post. Try to acknowledge my good points next time. LOL

I only read the post you responded to, which was well thought out and insightful, and your response, which was either stupid or rude - hence my question. I didn't see anything in what you said that made me think checking out any of your other work would reward my time so I haven't seen any of these supposed good points. If you want your posts to be treated with respect, start by showing the same respect to others.

As I’ve said a dozen times. As if Cronk would ever lower himself to walk into our club.

What a stupid comment to say … seriously you say some dumb shit …
This club is going places everyone can see it . Are you ever positive? And you had the audacity to imply I was out of touch and being a prick when I suggested your perennially depressed.
 
I dont know why it is but this season has been odd with many teams getting a good lead and then run down....the late season Titans and Cowboys games piss us all off but it hasnt just been us thats not been able to deal with huge momentum swings...as i said i cant put my finger on it but im sure the NRL love it....is it refs managing the games...6 to goes etc?
Its a major area Benji needs to address along with others we are all aware of like line speed....wrestle...attack in the red zone etc.
Benjis had gradual improvement the last few years even though its blurry when he first really began...but the last couple of years have seen some slow improvement with some key new recruits...more than we can say of Madge who just got worse and worse.
To state the obvious a big year next year

Cronk hates the club.

He’s not lowering himself though . He’s an elitist who has been kissed on the dick his whole career . Seriously imagine winning a premiership where all you do is yell at people . What an indulgent load of bullshit …

In his mind, he would be lowering himself.
