Coach Benji

Not even coaches who have won the comp in their first one or two seasons have received 5 year extensions. Marshall has gotten one off 15 wins in 48 games 😅

We have seen time and time again coaching contracts mean Jack in modern times it's a pure PR move to try and smooth things over the players and fans if you're naive enough to believe it.

If the team has a shit next season, he will be in the firing line again.
 
Good call.

If he continues to languish, he'll get correctly dumped with a pay out anyway. That pay out will come out of HBG's coffers, so who cares.

But what it does do, is provide immediate stability in a key area. It'll allow the playing group to feel some sort of security in their coach moving forward, which is probably more important than the machinations of the HBG or WT Board setup to the playing group anyway. Will certainly assist with looming re-signings considering what's gone on.

The question I ask for the critics of this decision (and I know there are big, legitimate concerns as well), is how would the key members of the playing group respond to a Benji extension?

From a squad stability perspective, given what's transpired in the past couple of weeks, it will stabilise exit talk from key members of the squad.

I, personally, can't stomach another ground-up rebuild.

I wonder if HBG are smart enough to have performance KPI clauses in the contract to minimise any payout?

I think the payout will come out of Wests Tigers coffers NOT HBG’s.
