No doubt Benji carries emotional weight for some people, but our history shows that even getting rid of him isn’t making us finals bound. People are just sick and tired of changing coaches and still not making finals. And the same will occur should Benji be moved on we aren’t making finals under...
I still find it hilarious that everyone thinking another coach will fix us, when 15 years of no finals shows that the problem lies beyond just the coach. When you’ve had 2 premiership winning coaches coach your team and still don’t make the finals clearly there’s issues that go beyond, yet...
We spent quite a bit of money with all the re-signings that happened after the announcement he was leaving. But even if we hadn’t we’d still be struggling to recruit no players in their prime come to us. Or if they still have a bit left they lose it once they wear our colours.
You’re not wrong. We’ve landed a few names every now and then like Api but overall the recruitment has been poor because of the clubs management, especially under HBG. We aren’t landing big names for a very long time.
You make it sound like Tigers can recruit, apart from a few decent ones we’ve never been able to recruit. The clubs best signing in history is probably Gareth Ellis and we aren’t topping that in the near future. No decent players are gonna consider us so just forget about trying to sign them it...
Honestly it will probably be one of them, no one else is desperate enough to be a coach at the Tigers. Maybe even Seibold will put his hand up as well.
I don’t expect many good coaches to put their hand up for the job should it become available. It’ll either be a rookie trying to hope for the best, or someone who’s desperate to get back into coaching.
Signing players has been a problem considering majority of Ivan’s signings no other club wanted and overpaid for in that matter. Madge struggled for a long time until we managed to get Api and Ice (until he tried to get out before coming), Bateman and Klemmer were dud Sheens signings and to...
In a way yes it will be bad considering we know how talented they are but we won’t attract anyone better or equal in talent to replace them. They probably would be better under a different coach, but no guarantees they stay with a different coach. Then whoever is the next coach is already at a...
Sometimes though it’s not just the coach that needs replacing. Our case is proof of that if we had better owners we wouldn’t be going through 15 years of no finals.
Do you expect the issues with coach to be fixed should Benji go though? Whoever our next coach is will ultimately fail as well. He’ll most likely have a weakened roster than what Benji currently has as players will walk like every time we’ve changed coaches and the club won’t recruit anyone good...
I understand it’s a results driven business, but should all that happen we’ll simply come last due to the club not being able to attract good talent regardless who’s coach. Benji is copping a lot of flak, but almost every coach we’ve had since our last finals run has copped it from our fans at...
