This team is just poorly coached. Benji is throwing spaghetti at a wall, hoping for a combo or selection to work and it shows he has no idea what’s he’s doing.
Our shape is disgusting, players are confused and there’s no cohesion.
Shows Benji’s lack of polish and attention to detail. He’s...
It’s a good depth signing and always handy having a backup half that’s played a bit of first grade.
I’ve watched him a bit at Brisbane and thought he went ok.
In all honesty I think for Benji to be a certainty as coach next year he’ll have to win ten games this season.
Any less with this squad is a poor season. Not saying ten is great either but Richo and co can spin a few close losses here and there to justify it.
7 doesn’t cut it.
I don’t see any of those people bitching and moaning about the black and white representation on the jersey or the fact the Wests Tigers don’t have a big enough Magpie emblem.
Seems to be a trait of flog Magpie supporters from pre-2000 that can’t accept reality and the fact their team hasn’t...
I think this is the take. Centre is one of the hardest defensive positions in terms of positioning and decision making.
He hasn’t played much centre as far as I’m aware so there’s naturally going to be some bumps as he learns on the job.
I think wing is just position and I like his carriers...
Good win after a difficult six weeks. Glad to see us beat the Roosters for the first time in years too.
Hopefully this eases some pressure on the club and we jag a few more wins before seasons end.
The only reason to fast (outside of religious reasons) is to restrict calorie intake/go into a calorie deficit. There’s literally no other benefit to it.
I can’t believe our coaching and performance staff allow for this. He’s just going to be depleted and lethargic.
In last years pre-season I remember Benji and players saying they didn’t even focus on attack until a couple of weeks before the season. Benji wanted a defensive mindset.
That coupled with Benji’s mantra of just playing footy, I’d say that Benji doesn’t focus on shape or attacking structure...
The team selections and interchange reeks of a coach who’s clueless, directionless and is clutching at straws.
Reminds me of when Fittler was at the Roosters in 2009 and played Anasta in fullback. Roosters had the sense to sack him that year and move onto an experienced coach in Smith.
Yeah it is hence why I think a coaching director/football manager is required to help Benji in this area.
My point is that I don’t think Benji is making the right selections with assistants and staff. Do you really think a coach like Payne is an adequate pick for State Cup or Matthew Betsey a...
