Benji 2025

[GNR4LIFE]

We aren’t seriously going to entertain another off season with him are we? Look, I will always choose my words carefully cos he’s not just anybody. I love the guy, probably the biggest club legend we have. But get serious, we cannot waste another season with him at the helm. Idk what the club does. As there aren’t a stack of quality options, and we probably missed the boat for a guy like Brad Arthur. But please, it cannot happen again in 2025. If it does, the goose is already cooked. Luai or no Luai.

 

[innsaneink]

We need a pseudo assistant coach in reality head coach that knows what he's doing
Benji clearly doesnt
Don't ask me who

 

[tigermate]

Bring back Madge in all seriousness

He played luai in origin

Has history with Richo winning at souths

He’s the only one available who has the pedigree.

 

[marzie]

We used 37 players, 12 made their debut and we won 2 more games than last season.
Losses: Stefano, Papalii, Tupou, Sezer
Gains: Luai, Turuva, Skelton, Hunt, Bird, Horsburgh (likely)

I'm pretty disappointed with tonight but he deserves at least 1 more year. He needs better assistants.

He’d never accept (rightfully so) but he’s just about the best option.

Would you give him another year, running the risk of another spoon and losing Galvin? I definitely wouldn‘t.

Richo seems convinced he’s the guy to take us to better times. I’m not so sure.

It’s things like that make me question Richo’s credibility.

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

It’s things like that make me question Richo’s credibility.

Would you like a CEO to publicly doubt his coach?

I’m sure there is a happy medium. If he really does believe that, I feel Galvin has one foot out the door.

He definitely needs help and I hope that is what Richo hasn’t said. Yet.

agree -- however new board, new players, new management -- richo could sell it if he really really wanted him.

Plus we have the best juniors in the league plus luai

Neither would I.

“We have a plan and we are going to stick with it”.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Neither would I.

The time for blind faith and “hey, just give him another year” is over. We are walking a precipice to get this kid stay on, and we need to do everything possible to make this club attractive for the next 5-10 years. And we can’t make unforced errors by persisting with the Kindergarten coach.

The Sheens -Benji experiment has been a monumental disaster. Sick of one spoon after another .I say give him 10-12 weeks next season with all the additions and if we don’t see significant improvement he should fall on his sword- if he loves the tigers

Sacking Benji would bring drama. I don't think Benji's the type to accept that with grace. I feel Richo has an eye on that but doesn't want turmoil upsetting recruitment plans.
Maybe?

I think that’s being generous, but at the same time, probably the most realistic scenario.

Who are we signing? No one significant. The only players we are signing atm are players unwanted by their current clubs.

They need to adopt the Biden strategy convince him it’s in the party’s best interests for him to step down
