OFFICIAL Adam Doueihi #227

[Demps]

Demps does he want the help??

Probably not, but he needs it.

And we need to get some wins on the board.
Needs to do what's best for the club, not himself.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

The logical option is to reach out to Flanno. But Benji probably perceives him as too much of a threat. There would also be the added bonus of getting Kyle.

The odds currently say we will not win another game this season and looking at 40 point floggings which is not good at all.

 

[Wiz]

Not the worst shout though, is it?

Not the worst but a bad shout. As far as I am aware he’s never coached? We need coaches with experience who are on the up.

 

[Telltails]

AD by bringing attention to this now has got all eyes on him. - the good and the bad.
Regrets - Id say quite possibly.

I think the other issue is, how many coaches would want to coach under Benji. The assistant coach candidates will be better credentialed than Benji and Benji will be learning off them instead of the other way around.

Did this clown get sacked today?

Money talks.
Some might prefer less spotlight, led benji handle the media. Pay the assistant more

This best thing to happen out of today so far is the CEO saying “What’s really important is what is said in that room stays in that room, that’s important for us as a club.” This is slight shoot across the bow at Moses - wouldn’t be surprise if there was some sort of stipulation about this. And obvs if reports of the meeting come out - they know where it came from.

500 people at a march is not serious. Pushing for independence is not serious - HBG can strip independence at any moment (and have done that). Serious means withholding membership, not going to games, sustained fan boycott and sustained negative media attention whether we are winning or losing.

I pulled my membership a couple of seasons ago and apart from watching Richo come in and create a glimmer of hope that we might be on the right track, that was all destroyed with the Christmas present brain fart by HBG.

Apart from a promising start to the season which turned to 💩 as it always seems to, I have not seen too much that is going to get me back anytime soon and I'm pretty sure that I am not on my own either.

Its a tongue in cheek comment from fans who have had enough. Obviously the license isn't going to be revoked but it should be. WT's are the worst run sporting operation in Australia and have been for years (except Richo's brief spell). I am disgusted with the place.

I agree wholeheartedly but i just don't get why people just call for the licence to be revoked. I understand some people are more emotionally caught up in the rubbish that continues but i just feel its a bit over the top to call for the licence to be revoked.

Any release will have a clause to ensure there is no disparagement of the club, same as when Galvin left and very common for payouts...

100% thats why i dont buy this talj about doing it to help the club. If nothing is released to the public how is any pressure applied to fix anything. They wont do it internally.

Depends what happens next.
What if luai isnt named tmw?
What if an assistant it let go early?
Maybe his concerns were legitimate and action is happening.

Shaun single handedly turned the mariners around. He might give a soft nice guy persona to the media, but I think he knows how to get stuff done.

So have we got any word , reading some it’s done others he going to, has it finished or still going ?????

 

[GCfan]

Im backing Benji.

He needs some high quality assistants around him and despite how much I like Morris & Hodgo as players + people, on the outside, it doesn't look like they've assisted.

Ben Gardiner + one of Elijah Taylor, Josh Jackson or Dale Finucane for mine.

Or one of the roosters assistants.
Let get Benji the help he deserves.

I’m a big Gardiner fan but think he’s signed to Perth and no doubt on a promise as a pathway to replace Mal in a few seasons ala Kristian at the Fins from Bennett.

 

[diedpretty]

I’m not backing it, just throwing it out there. You should take anything you read online with a grain of salt.

Especially in this forum

 

[hank37w]

Which ex teammate will Benji replace Morris with? I’ll go Moltzen.

That will be excellent Chris Heighington can teach them the importance of falling on a loose ball and Tim can give them some pointers on stopping try scorers at the line.

Meeting over in less than an hour this morning
SM took no questions spoke for 21 seconds
Douehi at training with the rest of em tomorrow
Club statement later today

 

[diedpretty]

wonder what the halves will be this week - surely you cant pick both Douehi and Luai - Api will have a nervous breakdown trying to work out who to give the ball to with both of them overcalling the other.

Not to mention Moses getting his teeth further into the club and surely banging the final nail in Benji's coffin.
