I can’t see Mediocrity Burger there. Then again, I don’t read The Sun.

Could not agree more. I question a lot of his decisions, but results matter and he has undeniably changed the culture (together with Richo). His self-awareness is completely refreshing and a stark contrast to most other coaches who carry a smugness. In response to other posts: (1) there is...

Absolutely. With three rounds to go we already have the most wins in 6 seasons and have won more games than both of the two years combined preceding Benji’s appointment.

Was at the game and haven’t watched the replay yet, so not sure it was so evident on tv. But the shielding Manly did for their wingers and fullback every time we put up a bomb was diabolical. I get a certain amount of protection, but this was at a ridiculous level and the laws around this have...

Was a pleasure being there today. That first try for Manly caught us off guard, and perhaps it was the best thing for us. Because the cover defence from then on was immaculate. A few worries: 1. Not being able to catch a torpedo 2. Not taking the two points when we were 6 pts up and...

Agree. Their backs are better. Our forwards are better. Benches equally poor. This is one where the team that wants it more wins.

Turuva has been our best. May second. Bula, compared to every other team’s first choice fullback is average - at best. OP being kind IMO. Got potential but.

Credit where it’s due. The key formation, team and technical tweaks prior to the game and in-game adjustments today were massive. Massive! Nice work Benji.

3 - Douehi - MoM 2 - Luai - big first half, lovely kicks, beautiful try assist 1 - Twal - everywhere man today

Left all the intensity in the first half

Feel we have to be the one to score next

Totally

Luai playing well.

3 errors, repeat sets, bad start.

I don’t remember which thread it was in but it would be interesting to read back now what we all predicted. Anyone got a good memory and a link?

Our own fans’ perennial unrealistic expectation bias is hardly a consensus – it’s more of a closed-loop hallucination.

What consensus? (Btw not defending Elias 🤮)

Agree. Ability is massive - but for whatever reason is deprioritised as the key element determining selection. Fitness can be raised. Look, there are lots of fit people. It doesn't make them all capable of doing the job. All trees are green. But not all green things are trees.

Ah yes, the salary cap. Let’s not even get started on that great equaliser which repeatedly proves how perfectly footy and socialism work together.

So, we are a rabble of a squad, out of form and are about to play the second best side. And if we get done the writing is on the wall for the coach? Seriously what world do people here live in thinking we are even close to these teams? Have you watched our games? Watched anything in the last...
