Coach Benji šŸ‘‘

Iā€™m not 100% impressed with some of his selections but letā€™s look a little deeper.

Madden played his best footy next to AD, he is a shadow of that bloke with JL next to him.
Seyfarth isnā€™t my favourite player and he gives away some dumb penalties but heā€™s an effort player who keeps trying. Effort inspires your team mates to dig in as well. Api gives his 100% however some of his team mates Do Not learn or seem to get any inspiration from him. Really disappointing

Benji has dropped players where he could but he only has a certain number of players to pick from. Toa dropped was an example of this.

Royce needs to go.
Luai was jogging around yesterday, i remember a couple of games where he put in Api type of effort. That is all non existent since he signed to be the next PNG PM

Some players in our team are lazy and do not play for their mates.

The sad thing about Royce ..he is in our Top 17 and looks like being moved on ..ideally they should keep him as depth and move on others ā€¦as I often say though, someone else has to want you before you can move them on ..

Sayfarth manages to make atrocious mistakes each week that really hurt the team regardless of his efforts ā€¦

I agree that shuffling the depth players in the Top 30 has become a bit of a pointless exercise ..at this stage I donā€™t know what is changing next seasonā€¦Averillo as the exception

It wasnā€™t about whether it was the wrong call or the right one. Right and wrong had nothing to do with it. It was on the back of HBG sacking Richo and the blowback by the supporters. HBG panicked and in desperate need to pacify the vitriol, gave Marshall a five year contract. Not even premiership winning coaches get five year extensions. But Benji got one, despite not having even coached a final.

Thatā€™s because Benji has aligned players who worship him. You heard May the other day, if Benji goes, I go.
Bloody hell, I always thought the club was bigger than any individual but it shows how Benji has been building this team.
He better perform after the way heā€™s gone about his recruitment !
 
Benji has an ordinary squad compared to the large majority of other teams, he needs the woners to start to cough up some money to buy at least two more high quality forwards and outside backs. Easier said then done but we will continue to paddle around

For example KPP is a good player but certainly not high quality
 
Our best available side injury free are around the 8th-12th position in the competition, and thatā€™s probably bias from a Tigers supporter.
Players/ Positions that i consider locked in
F.B = Bula
Centre = May
5/8 - Luai
Half = Doueihi
Lock = Twal
2nd row = KPP & Sam Fainu
Front row = May
Hooker = API

Thatā€™s 9 players imo out of a starting 13.

Until we can name 13 players as definite starters we will not get near the top 4 teams on a regular basis.

Sure we will get wins here and there but not consistently.

We are still a couple of years away hoping our junior crop coming thru can become regulars in the team.

How is our recruitment looking for next year šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
1 x Centre Averillo nothing imo to get excited about.
Like I mentioned imo we are years away from being a consistent top 4-6 Team

Add Turuva and Makasin on the wings ā€¦they had better be penned into the line up considering their contracts ā€¦. apparently Averillo as the other Centerā€¦ we need a new prop

Deckchairs on the Titanic comes to mind ā€¦

He gave Mavrik and Charlie a go right?

Having said that ā€¦ got to try something

I agree...theyre on our rostered list,and we needed change
Geyer will never play NRL for WTs again based on that effort and skill,plus the fact that hes moving onso why invest in him
Charlie was disppointing..like Makasini,he just isnt ready yet

I'd like to know which players you think he has to select from.

here are the players you have to select from:
www.nswrl.com.au

Players

2025 NSW Cup, State of Origin squads
www.nswrl.com.au www.nswrl.com.au

There's no first graders sitting in cup - depth is basically depleted.

I guarantee Luai will be a starter. If He was strong coach , he would sit him down on the bench and make a statement to all the players.

Will never happen. It would also make Luai the scapegoat of a collective problem. Not to mention how the media would have a field day. I've never been a fan of his, by the way. Perhaps a "mistery illness" might help mitigate the effect.
