Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

And how does that make you feel? Hope should be the third hooker at the club …


They are going to need to sign a better back up than Hope … i don’t know who though
How many clubs have significantly better options than Hope as the back-up though?

I'd say the club needs options. Not necessarily upgrades. The fact that it's Hope & then the kid at the moment is a problem. Another option in the KOE would be ideal. A guy that can play a bit of #13 as well would be perfect.
 
this forum is dreadful at times, negative about things that aren’t even relevant. benji literally talked about how tough he is with the playing group & he’s not in it to make friends and you think he wants to be besties with them all. yawn
Talk is cheap.
His runs are not on the board to take what he says literally.
 
If Benji gets confronted with a situation, and his buddy-buddy relationship gets in the way- fair enough. But if he makes the tough call?

Thing is- it hasn't happened. So bagging him for being 'too close' is just speculation.
You could argue it has happened at the selection table.
 
I've never seen it successful, but benji may break the mould in that sense. How much time does he need though
As long as it takes to raise the quality of the squad enough to the point that we should be entrenched in the top 8 on paper.

When that happens and it's still a way off, if Benji can't deliver then well that's when questions should be asked and the knives will be sharpened.
 
This squad could have played finals this year.
I agree Tuck, if it wasn't for all the close ones we dropped, we would have gone close.
The piss week bench some weeks and so many young blokes in the side at times really hurt us.

The young fellas and we have a few, you drum into them at training what needs to be done but it doesn't always transition to game day, hard to know the cause be it deer in the headlight stuff or young brains farting through fatigue or lack of concentration.

That's why I'm being patient with the coaching.
 
The comparison is laughable. Of all coaches to choose from, he chose the one gunning for 5 consecutive premierships.
Yeah it’s crazy.
Bellamy is close to his top boys as well….but there is separation there. There is respect.
Look how Cam Smith, Billy and Cooper address him in interviews. They aren’t chest bumping and carrying on.
