Yeah maybe but its a big statement and/or a big lie for AD or the journalist to say:

In a SMH article today Christian Nicolussi said, "He was also frustrated it took him several days to track down Marshall to be told about the positional switch, and Jarome Luai, who is off to the Eels next year, was not the half asked to move"

If Benji did do this, what does it say about his coaching?

OR... emotions were high, egos were hurt, and the media did what it does and sensationalises and calls it a crisis but in reality this sort of thing happens in all industries, businesses, companies, relationships. The mature thing is to communicate it through and repair.

Looks like all parties were mature enough to resolve things, and maybe we should applaud that (or at least accept it) and we all move forward.

Hope your right, but just see how the dressing room is anything other than fractured. If im Benji i punt both Luai and Douhi now. Bring Madden in dont care if we lose by 100, we are anyway. Get rid of both the problems now. Andrews 5/8 and Latu 7 starting once Latu gets back from suspension heading into pre season. Hit the market for another 7 or 5/8 for depth. Just rip the bandaid off. Half tge group are off Luai apparently. Once he goes the other half will still be off Douehi next year. Bugger tgem both off.

Yes maybe, however.

I have been harping on this for a while and we need to know what happened.

This is important, is this just spin from the AD camp or is it fairdinkum?

"Took him several days to track Marshall down to be told about the positional switch........"

If this is true (which I hope not), then I think Benji needs to have alook at his processes and approach to dropping someone.

AD and any player deserves much better then this (If it happened)

It is ALL SPIN to protect AD in my opinion undoubtedly emanating from Moses and AD promoted to a pet journo to muddy the waters and protect AD.I am not a great fan of Benji as a coach but he IS the coach and should be obeyed.
Today was all damage control and the can has been kicked further down the road for a few weeks but i have no doubt something will blow up again in the next few weeks.

Agreed....if its true Marshall needs to get his crap together...regardless if true or not he still has a.lot to.learn.
If true.
But it is a Nicolussi piece whos in with Moses so i have some doubts.

Isaac didnt get a bite from perth so they had to go i to damage control...

Benji should be playing him at 13 no exceptions

Benji looks piss weak infront of the whole playing group, Anything goes now with zero consequences....The demands from the playing group will come thick and fast....

Benji is a lame duck now with zero authority who won't be head coach this time next year ......

I believe they trained last tuesday...i always thought the playing team for the week.ahead was.made known to the squad on the Tues after training.
It was announced at 4pm to the public...Douehi in 22

Douehi has the judiciary on tuesday night...he attends with Pat Richards and SM.
Hes quoted after as saying
I love being out there with the boys,” Doueihi said after the hearing...all good

Wednesday hes on radio on SEN with Vossy...everythings cool no mention of team selections..this is Wednesday Midday...all.good
Thursday the crap hits the fan.
Now saying hes frustrated it took several days to contact Benji.
I dunno

Okay but still, if Benji knew he wasn't going to play AD, surely he should have been told and spoken to about the non selection early in the week?
