Yep. And that is the problem. Everyone knows we are.
I think that is why lockie and TDS left.
Fans see us as the battlers. But why would you play for a team seen as that. Not the 1980's anymore. Everyone wants the big next thing.

No sideways crap from Galvin anymore. He is playing straighter than I thought he ever could. Makes you think coaching is a big concern.

The only arguments to keep him are emotional ones. “He bleeds the jersey”, “players love him”. There’s never one defence that he should stay on for any good he’s doing coaching wise.
One coach telling him - Mate, We need you to straighten up the Attack, That's what 7's do.
the Other Coach telling him, Just do whatever you think (At 18, Straight out of SG Ball)

And Luai being criticised for doing that for us where he didn’t have this problem playing 7 for Panthers.

It appears the players love him for the wrong reasons.

Seems like low expectations to me...
I don't criticise him for us being a shit set up,
But he's our 7, Our Captain, Our Leader and Our most Successful player - He knows what good looks like.
Line Speed, Kick Chase, Bomb Contesting are utter Garbage
- He's out there and he can change that, But doesn't.
He's mostly shovelling the ball along and kicking Bombs, Barely looking to attack at all.
He's been complicit in this shit show, and I criticise him for that.
Maybe we should rename ourselves the Crabs lol.

After reading this I note that it only took you 4 days and a few words from Benji in the post-match press conference to lose a lot of faith. Mind you, I too am bemused at Benji choising to play like Penrith against the panthers and expecting a different result.
I have been a Benji fan and happy to see how it all goes but for some reason it just feels like we need an experienced coach that knows how to coach the team and not just play what you see.
I hope he watched how the Panthers played us as that is a professional team with a coach who knows how to dismantle teams.
We just look totally lost in most games and opponents know it.
I was concerned that if we left Benji go that the players like Laui would go but starting to think if we let him go and let Laui have input into a new coach it will work.
The problem we have is if we leave this too long it will limit the coaches available and end up with the dreads again.
Coaches like Michael Cheika would be ideal or Payten if he is let go.
Brad Arthur is another one..

- Michael Chieka
- some assistant coach like Ryan or young at the dragons? No thanks

Des is the sexy name on that list …not
Justin Holbrook is a good coach ..a bit hard done by at the Titans I thought …getting them to a finals appearance is a similar miracle required to get the Tigers there …
Chieka might be a good coach , we know he is a fine Union coach, but we need someone with the xs and os knowledge

What about Matt King nsw and roosters assitant coach
Josh Hannay qld assistant.
Jason Demetriou coaching westfield sports i think.
Willie Peters.
Who else is there besides Benji.
I think Benji would be a better football mamager.
Yeah, think the cupboard is very bare.
Not sold on anyone on that list really.
A coaching ensemble with some upgrades on what we've got may be more suitable, if we are to persist with Benji.
Benji, head coach.
Sammy Burgess, Johnny Morris & Willie P.
Co - coaches.
Keiran Foran, trainer.
Its the ruck speed, he's on the front foot which is perfect for him and most halves.
Benji needs to work and work more on the wrestle
