Coach Benji đź‘‘

Of course he has to go.
Of course they wont sack him
Of course he wont quit
Of course he is staying.

So what can be done to help him?
Firstly he needs a high quality game analysis by his side. Someone who can break down the game and identify why something happened as a result of a small play 3 tackles earlier. Someone who highlights how the flow on effect from one lazy play leads to the following 5 plays of us being under attack. There is no way this team can be shown all this little subtleties of the game and the effects they have and still present themselves so dumb. I mean sooooooo dumb. The dumbest team in history. We then need to get a proven attack and defence coach to implement the things the analysis guy highlights.
Defence? Omg, they are diabolical. They have no idea what they are doing. Losing the middle is huge, then our backrowers dont react once the ball shifts to their outside and that leaves us short everytime. As soon as the ball shifts to the outside shoulder of our backrowers they need to press hard on the outside to allow our halves to make a quick decision to do the same, then that allows our centre and winger to do the same. Its soooo bloody simple and it starts with the edge backrowers. When we had Sam and KPP they did a really good job of it and our defence was much better. However it seems that that only happened because they are both good at it, not because they were coached for it. Because any replacement backrower doesnt do it. Our defence outwide is decided by our backrowers, good decisions and movement by KPP and Sam and we defended well. Replacement players dont get coached to do it and teams just have to pass the ball to score. Horrendous coaching.

Defence: ??? No idea
 
As much as I hate to say it, I think you’re right

I do think he’s a good man manager and could’ve done a good job but he’s done himself a disservice by hiring rubbish assistant coaches
What got me last night was the poor reading in coaching that should have been corrected, poor kicking, the lack of chasing from the kicks, lack of effort in defense, last night was so weak it reflects on the coach.

They can not do the basic's right who on the coaching staff puts their hands up for that. one.
 
Surely people don't think that changing the coach as inevitable as that seems will make one iota of difference at this club.
The most successful clubs are those that have stability - we wouldn't have a clue what that feels like but we know how to sack good people.
You are expected to fail at this club which makes it so much easier for our players to excuse their terrible performances and also to leave without regret.

Its so frustrating. The small things really get to me. Like last night, AD and Toa chased a kick and made the tackle, then both stood at marker and switched off, Curran caught them out and scooted down the short side for 10 metres starting the roll on for that set. How do you bloody switch off at marker when playing NRL?
Another one is our inability to adjust when chasing a high kick. When our chasers cant get into a contest for the ball, the dont prop and balance themselves to make the tackle, they continue to run through allowing an easy 10, 20 or even 30 metres for the fullback. These little things have huge effects on mementun and are so simple to get right.

We never ever identify who offloads from the opposition and try and stop it. We made Max King look like a Arthur Beetson last night.

When Api made breaks from dummy half there was no one backing him up at, we react so poorly in defense and attack. When the dogs were kicking last night they had 4-5 players chasing hard on them consistently.
 
Could we possibly be seeing a mass exodus of players soon?

Is Luai recruiting internally for the PNG team? Because there's absolutely no effort from any of them currently.

Denan Kemp mentioned that it could be one of the primary reasons he was let go early.

1 of my all time favs.

We ALL know the reason. Its a culture of no accountability.

You reckon Bennett or Cleary or Robinson or Bellyache would put up with that shit?

Benji just gives them a hug, a few churs and goes plays golf. Pay clears for the week, 3 days off at training, same side named next week.

Way too many bros throughout the entire shithole.
 
Who's he taking ?

The Fainus and Skelton?
I might be totally wrong, but I get the impression the Fainu’s are not all that close with Luai.
No doubt they respect t what he has achieved in the game, but there is nothing to suggest they are closely connected to him.
Of course PNG and almost every other club would like Samuela from 2028 onwards, so that is our biggest retention concern at the moment.
 
The fall off in Turuvas form makes me look in his direction.
Seems to have checked out.
From someone who seemed like the energizer bunny last couple of years
I said that 2 or 3 weeks ago. He is gone. Checked out a while now. Itll make the papers. Jerry poaching players, just wait, more pile on in the media about the Tigers. In coming.
