Yeah agreed a fine would have been sufficient but what was he expected to do?
It’s like guys getting in trouble for a shoulder charge when they’re trying to prevent a try in the corner.
Your priority is getting to the ball to stop the opposition scoring.
NRL needs to have a bit of leeway.
Yep I get that but look at the coaches that are coaching them.
They’re not rookie coaches.
Benji hasn’t earned the right to teach a player to play in another position.
You don’t buy a hatchback thinking it will achieve the same as a 4x4 and drive it as such.
Second to that, Benji has no credibility to show he can teach players to adapt to other positions.
Case in point. Latu is a 7. Why the fark would you play him at lock.
Could he play lock. Yeah probs.
But what was he brought here to play and what’s his best spot? 7
FMD.
Let’s bring players to the club to play in a position that they’ve never played at.
Hey while we’re at it - i think KPP would go well on the wing. He’s tall so it makes sense.
To be fair, we were without two of our best players which are genuine key spine players.
I think if we had Luai and Bula last night it’s a different story - to an extent. Still think Benji gets axed at the end of this year
You know I blame Galvin partly responsible for this.
We had such a great start to the season and then the Galvin thing came about and the team just never recovered.
Seems like they want them gone though right. So yes I mean we need to be out of pocket $250k a season for each. Existing clubs to chip in the difference.
I’d be buying Sloan and Junior Tupou for around $250k a season each.
They both have raw athleticism.
Both are head of the likes of Staines, Naden, Feledy etc
