Benji should’ve been apologising to fans for that disgrace. We deserve better. And he suggests it was an improvement? That AD played outstanding? I’m very pro Benji and even I’ll admit that’s intolerable. This is an unacceptable standard.

Geez what we’d give for a Hudson Young.

Literally anyone.

The only competition Bula had for officially worst fullback was Iongi. Guess today puts that to bed.

That has to go down as one of the worst losses, if only because of how bad the opposition were. Can’t ever remember seeing a team play so badly, so amateurish, so error-riddled and still be in the contest, let alone win. Then again it’s dejavu, I thought the same thing after the Knights game...

Couldn’t be any more spot on.

How?

@Jolls great post. . I totally get what the club were trying to achieve in 2026 and, if I may infer, when they brought Benji in as coach. They knew he was inexperienced. But experience had counted for naught with higher-profile coaches we had. They also spoke about standards, but the results...

Agree.

I heard James Graham today saying there isn't a clear right or wrong, and words to the effect that there are nuances and reasons, justifying Douehi's behaviour. Ummm, no James. Douehi f'd up. It's that simple. I mean, I thought this whole thing was a joke when it first broke. Douehi is not a...

Another year of scapegoating the coach when players who think they are bigger than the club agitate. It's happened during Sheens, Potter, Cleary, Madge, Taylor, now Benji. It's systemic here. Here's a throwback to a 2020 headline.

Have we actually regressed? I don’t think the results support that. 2022: 4 wins. 2023: 4 wins. 2024: 6 wins. Benji’s first year. 2025: 9 wins. 2026: 7 wins with five games to play. If we finish with fewer than nine wins, I’ll concede we’ve gone backwards. I think our start to the season...

Releasing Luai, putting Douehi to lock, Andrews debut. They were absolutely the right calls for the future of this team. But to me that doesn’t scream ego at all. It screams someone who will make tough calls. Is he the best tactical coach? No. Is the team performing well? No Does he have a...

Agreed. That is, provided what is going around is the true story.

That’s true. Although they were caught off guard and totally flat footed. Bula was actually in a position to tackle Weekes.
